Soybean farming requires good agricultural practices against risk factors since its implementation. To achieve this, a fundamental issue that requires attention from the producer is the protection of plants and stand uniformity.
Each plant must occupy a calculated physical space of soil, with uniform distribution, to allow the absorption of water, nutrients and capture of solar energy adequate for its development.
The lack of uniformity generates competition between plants in search of nutrients, which takes away vigor, weakens roots and reduces resistance against risk factors, such as weather events, pest damage and diseases.
The good establishment of the crop is directly linked to the quality of the seeds, in addition, the spacing and uniform distribution contribute to generating more vigorous plants capable of facing stress situations.
Seed treatment with the benefit of Anti-Stress Strength
Sowing has a specific period to take place, which forces the producer to plant even when conditions are not the most suitable.
Climatic factors during this period pose constant risks to the implementation of crops, with drought being the main one.
Another factor to be considered is that stress imposes an extra energy expenditure on the plant, of up to 35%, and this contributes to the reduction of plant biomass and a decrease in the productive potential of the species, causing losses in quality and productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to seek solutions and strategies that use technology to protect plants and productive potential.
With this in mind, Bayer offers rural producers the technology called “Anti-Stress Force”, present in the treatment of seeds in products such as CropStar, which in addition to pest control, favors better plant development, even in adverse conditions. Anti-Stress Force also contributes to the development of plants' natural resistance against pathogens, resulting in healthier and more productive plants.
Therefore, seed treatment should be considered an essential practice for you to have more control over the risk factors of your crop.
