PR Harvest 2025/26: climate favors wheat and barley

The weather conditions recorded between May 26 and June 1 favored the development of crops in Paraná, especially wheat and barley, according to the Weather and Cultivation Conditions bulletin, released by the Department of Rural Economy (Deral), of the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply (Seab).

O corn second harvest It continues to predominate in the state's agricultural areas, mainly during the flowering, fruiting, grain filling, and early ripening stages. According to Deral, the combination of soil moisture and proper management ensured good crop development. Despite this, frosts, excess moisture, and periods of low light caused localized impacts, with reports of losses, delayed harvesting, and sporadic occurrences of leafhoppers, caterpillars, and damage to ears of corn.

The planting of the wheat Planting is practically complete in most regions of Paraná, with some areas still under development. The crops show good germination, satisfactory initial vigor, and low incidence of pests. Although the rains caused some delays in sowing, recent conditions have favored crop development. The report also indicates a reduction in cultivated area and lower technological investment in some regions.

Na barleyPlanting intensified after a period of excessive rainfall, which had delayed operations. Producers remain attentive to weather patterns, especially rainfall forecasts for the coming weeks. Among the winter crops, oatmeal Planting has already been completed and it is showing good vegetative development. sorghumThe plant, cultivated in specific areas, is also showing satisfactory progress.

O café The harvest is progressing towards the maturation and harvesting phases in most of the state. Operations have resumed with the improvement in weather, although excess moisture in previous periods hampered fieldwork, compromising grain quality and increasing the incidence of defects. Even so, yields remain close to expectations in several producing regions.

Na sugar caneHarvesting and planting activities are proceeding according to schedule, despite occasional interruptions caused by high soil moisture. In areas already harvested, yields are within expectations, while developing crops are receiving cultural treatments aimed at increasing productivity.

the harvest of bean The winter and second crop harvests are progressing unevenly in the state. According to Deral, the crops suffered from water stress at the beginning of the cycle and, subsequently, from frosts and excess moisture, factors that reduced yield and quality. There are also reports of diseases such as anthracnose. The recent price increase, however, has helped to offset some of the losses faced by producers. Meanwhile, the third crop areas are showing good development, especially in the vegetative and flowering phases.

As vegetables They maintain good productivity, although weather conditions are prolonging the crop cycle and increasing the time needed to reach the ideal harvest point.

The harvest of chips Planting is proceeding according to schedule in several regions, with some areas already being prepared for new planting. The report indicates a trend of reduced cultivated area, mainly driven by falling prices and discouragement among producers, despite yields considered satisfactory in some locations.

A potato Harvesting continues in parts of the state, while second-crop areas show good vegetative development, favored by soil moisture and recent weather conditions.

In the areas of pastureThe rains contributed to the good development of the plants. Even so, the arrival of winter should gradually reduce the production of green mass.
