How to keep plant physiology healthy?

The 2017-2018 Brazilian grain harvest should reach more than 227 tons, according to estimates by Conab (National Supply Company) and the area, in hectares, should exceed 61 million. This shows that we are responsible for a large volume of grain supply throughout the world and, therefore, we need to deliver healthy, profitable and long-lasting production, due to the demands of transportation and storage.

In order for this entire market to be served efficiently, it is necessary that agronomic research and innovations for the sector are continually being developed and implemented easily, increasingly contributing to the development of Brazilian farmers.

For some specific crops, such as soybeans, beans, cotton and corn, it is vitally important to build a relationship of trust with the base of the production chain, where solutions focused on plant physiology and nutrition can meet demands and offer concrete productivity results. According to Rodrigo Campos, marketing manager at Fast Agro, the harvests of these four crops represent, in addition to our internal supply, a large portion of our GDP (Gross Domestic Product), as they are base products for other industries, such as oils, clothing and feed. animal.

However, how to keep plant physiology 100% healthy? The solution is to offer products with a large apparatus of technology, research and trained human capital, which aims to guarantee healthy plants and crops, as well as favorable conditions for nature, without impact on soil and water.

Resources like these, which are limited, need reliable and proven solutions, as the evolution of national agronomy has already shown us that if we are negligent with our most basic resources, we will be destined to pay a high price for our lack of responsibility towards the environment. .

The Brazilian agricultural potential of these crops allows us to enable research-based solutions, which are continually developed, to offer an increasingly lower cost-benefit to producers, without impacting the final price of the product, generating an entire chain that is increasingly attractive.

Finally, I highlight that research needs to respond to the needs of the markets involved. For example, ensuring that cotton fibers are resistant for the textile industry, soybeans develop while maintaining their nutritional properties and corn has a good grain yield on the cob. I think it's time to rethink how much you've invested in new technologies and research.
