Soy – How to protect Productive Potential

The production potential of soybean crops begins to be defined right after sowing. And this definition involves choosing a high-quality seed, good planting and protecting the seedlings against pests and initial diseases.

The basis of a high-yield soybean crop is excellent quality seed, with high germination and vigor rates, which will give rise to more robust plants, with a good root system and good aerial part. These plants, in turn, are more efficient in absorbing water and nutrients and also in photosynthesis, this means plants with better grain filling capacity, in other words, more productivity for the farmer.

Soybean crops are subject to attack by various pests and diseases, this attack is even more critical in the initial development, therefore there is a need to think about protecting these seedlings. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose a good seed treatment, which has a broad spectrum of control and can protect the crop from pathogens and also from initial soil and aerial pests, such as caterpillars, corós, lice, -snake, nematodes, among others.

Seed treatment with good broad-spectrum products, such as CropStar, is essential, as it preserves the plant population, root system and leaf area from pest attack. According to some studies, the loss of a single plant per square meter can result in the loss of up to four bags per hectare, highlighting the importance of initial seed treatment protection. Furthermore, the loss of leaf area results in a lower photosynthetic rate, therefore lower grain production and lower crop yield.

The association of high quality seeds with excellent initial protection, through seed treatment, is the ideal start of a strong, well-protected and high-yielding crop for the producer.
