Firm prices and good future prospects, with the opening of new business fronts for the cereal, have encouraged rural producers in the state to increase their medium and long-term business planning. The meat market, the main consumer of the input, and the expansion of corn ethanol plants in the region project promising scenarios for supply and signal an open field for investments.

And it is in this scenario of potential that market decision-makers meet to check out the latest in innovation and technology, during the Safra Show, which takes place from March 17th to 20th, in Lucas do Rio Verde (MT).

In demonstration plots, it will be possible to verify the performance of hybrid releases, such as the early FS564 and FS505 with high productive potential for the second harvest, and the already known early ones with superior performance, such as FS715 and FS500.

Also highlighted in the technological showcases will be the super early FS450, which has been providing superior productivity in the Cerrado, and the FS633, with strong demand in the market for its rusticity, leaf health, grain quality and stability in adverse conditions.

“Expanding in Brazil, the production of corn ethanol, together with demand from the agricultural market, opens up new opportunities for producers and the entire value chain. Consequently, we must advance investments in research and development to provide increasingly specific and innovative solutions, in order to boost productivity in the field with quality and sustainability”, says Danimar Zanetti, agronomist and market development manager at Forseed.

The materials presented at the event feature the new PowerCore Ultra technology, as well as the renowned PowerCore, for pest control and weed management, as well as industrial seed treatment Cruiser and Fortenza Duo, protecting the crop in its initial stages and allowing the hybrid expresses its maximum yield and productivity potential.
