The harvest of the citrus crop in the region of Lajeado is coming to an end, continuing only in late varieties and in some municipalities in the region. Favorable climatic conditions continue to allow the fruit to remain on the trees (as is the case with late oranges), although with a reduction in rainfall in October (close to half of the normal rainfall for the month), and without sufficient rainfall in early November. In addition, the mild temperatures prolonged flowering a little longer, and the initial development of young fruits is good. Mild temperatures reduce the risk of disease. According to information disclosed in the Conjunctural Newsletter released by Emater/RS-Ascar this Thursday (11/17), the region continues with the control of fruit flies in ripe fruits and the prevention of black spot in oranges and bergamots from the 2023 harvest. Pruning of normal and late-season varieties also continues.
