Soil adjustments for dry climate in Brazil

Brazil is experiencing a period of drought that has proven to be the most severe in the last 90 years, and this scenario directly affects rural producers. Climate change occurs because of an important cyclonic vortex in the Pacific Ocean region with greater climate interference in Brazil, receiving nest scale 3 - La Niña - a natural phenomenon that, opposite to El Niño, consists of a decrease in the surface temperature of waters of the Central and Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean - which is closest to South America.

According to the meteorologist, professor and researcher at the Federal University of Alagoas, Luiz Carlos Molion, studies point to a possible start of rain in the national territory in September, bringing more humidity to Brazil, with this, we will have a greater flow of humidity entering in the country, enabling a rainy period that helps to recover soil moisture, and consequently, helps prepare for the start of planting the summer crop.

However, according to Molion, a high-level cyclonic vortex formation should bring a summer condition for 3 to 4 weeks, changing the climate of some regions, which may be more affected, with below-average rainfall in several locations. The South and Southeast region of Brazil will stand out with a low level of rainfall. The Central-West region will also remain below average, however, an important observation is the forecast of climate inconsistency that will appear on the climate map in Goiás, the displacement of the cyclonic vortex system, which may receive rain in a climate zigzag effect.

With so many changes and lack of water resources, what is the best way for farmers to prevent dry spells in large cultivation areas? Molion says that the producer must prepare and use conventional agronomic techniques, with the aim of retaining water in the soil at the same time as having plants with more volumetrically developed and deeper root systems, which is very important in conditioning and decompacting the soil. 

Good soil decompression helps in root production, providing greater activity of microorganisms, making the plant more productive, better protected from diseases and providing a favorable environment for the development of a deeper root system.

There are products on the market that are capable of helping with soil decompression. The Fertiláqua Group, a specialist in soil quality, has soil conditioners as a great ally, which works on the chemical, physical and biological structure of the soil, releasing nutrients, acting on the soil's physical improvement structure, ensuring greater productivity, reducing soil compaction and the development of the root system, it is recommended to use conditioners in pre-planting desiccation, structuring a more efficient root system and accessing water more deeply, along the soil profile and having plants that feel less the conditions of soil stress.

By promoting an environment more conducive to root development, we enable a greater accumulation of reserves in these structures and allow the plant to adapt physiologically to periods of stress, whether climatic or biological. The use of Fertiláqua conditioners increases the adaptive response of plants and ensures better interaction with soil microorganisms, which generates a greater concentration of carbon in deeper layers of the soil and leads to the productive environment, in general, having greater efficiency in use. of the resources used for crop development.
