Canola development cycle advances in RS

The canola development cycle advances and 39% of crops are already filling grain in the Santa Rosa region. According to Economic Information produced by the Planning Management (GPL) of Emater/RS-Ascar and released on Thursday, August 13th, culture presents good load of flowers in the bunches, a factor that will possibly result in a excellent yield, if there are no frosts after the forecast rains occur for the next few days.

The days dry, quite sunny and with a large temperature range from the previous week, combined with good soil moisture conditions, also provided excellent development of wheat in the State, with 11% of crops in bloom while 89% remain in the germination and vegetative development phase. In the Emater/RS-Ascar regions of Pelotas, Frederico Westphalen and Santa Rosa, crops are developing well. In Pelotas, the crops were They are well established and have a good stand. Dry weather has contributed to the recovery of areas whose development was delayed under the effects of the colder. 

In the regions of Santa Maria, Ijuí and Frederico Westphalen, white oat cultivation they have good development and a good plant stand. In Santa Maria, 5% of crops have already entered the grain filling phase. In Ijuí, the The first crops sown in Tenente Portela were harvested during the week. In these areas, the tradition is to plant early, and then enter the corn culture. In the regions of Ijuí, Erechim and Frederico Westphalen, the barley crops are developing well, and the outlook is good productivity. In Ijuí, dry weather benefited the crop, with lower pressure of diseases and pests. 

Already in In relation to summer crops, the Conjunctural Report estimates that half of soybean producers in the Bagé region who use financing have already forwarded projects to financial agents. Some have already accessed the resources and part of the projects are in the contracting phase. In the Pelotas region, there are negotiations to extend the deadlines, which were from one to two years. You soybean farmers continue to manage winter forage, mainly with grazing of beef cattle and sheep, in the areas to be implemented with the culture. The spontaneous soybean plants that had germinated after harvest and were vegetating were naturally controlled by the intense cold and frost formation. The management and control of invasives, sampling of soil for analysis and purchase of inputs. 

Intensifies the planning of activities for corn cultivation, and the sowing in the regions of Emater/RS-Ascar de Ijuí, Frederico Westphalen, Soledade and Bagé. In Ijuí, planting began in the municipalities located further away North, where the probability of late frosts is small and the recommended period for climate risk zoning began on the first day of this month. With adequate soil moisture, sowing has been carried out very efficient, with excellent seed deposition, at adequate depth and low soil disturbance in the furrow. 

In the regional Emater/RS-Ascar de Bagé and Soledade, the sequence of days sunny weather last week allowed activities to prepare areas for rice for the next harvest. In Bagé, the floodplains have good conditions for soil moisture for the preparation and construction work of rammed earth water retention in crops. Rainfall volumes below the historical average in July, associated with reduced rainfall in August, concerns rice farmers, as the volume stored in the reservoirs is below the ideal.
