Tridge summary

The Brazilian rice market is experiencing price stabilization due to delayed harvesting caused by flooding and excess rain, with total losses at 0.6%. More storms and high-volume rain are expected in rice-producing regions, causing lodging in irrigated rice areas and loss of productivity. Experts recommend management strategies and high-tech farming to mitigate these impacts. The article also discusses the use of urea coverage in crop rotation systems, particularly with soybeans, and the need for caution in El Niño years. Despite following good practices, early cycle material was subpar in most properties, indicating a need for further research, especially in increasing the N dose due to low nutrient assimilation efficiency on cloudy days.
