Brazil: Wheat maintains good germination in Rio Grande do Sul crops

Published 2023년 7월 13일

Tridge summary

The cultivation of wheat in Rio Grande do Sul is progressing well, with 88% of the projected area already planted. However, higher temperatures have caused thinner leaves and stems, resulting in occasional falling plants. Foliar diseases are also starting to be observed due to the weather conditions and the repetition of wheat cultivation in certain areas. White oats are almost fully implanted, with 98% of the planned area sown, while canola and barley crops are at various stages of development. Pastures cultivated with oats and ryegrass are growing well but are suffering from degradation and difficulties in fertilization management due to excessive humidity.

Wheat continues to be developed in Rio Grande do Sul. With an area to be cultivated in the 2023 Winter Harvest estimated at 1,505,704 hectares, the wheat crop is in the implementation phase and has reached 88% of the projected area. According to the Conjunctural Newsletter released by Emater/RS today (7/13), the crops continue to show excellent germination, uniform emergence and rapid initial establishment. However, due to the occurrence of higher than usual temperatures for the period, wheat plants continue to grow at an accelerated rate, characterized by thinner leaves and stems, which has caused occasional cases of falling plants in places where there was overlap in the seeding. With regard to plant health, it is possible to observe, due to higher temperatures, cloudiness, high relative humidity and long periods of dew on the leaves, the beginning of the incidence of foliar diseases in crops that are in the tillering stage, particularly in areas where there was repetition of ...
