Climate and management for the 2022/23 soybean harvest is the agenda of an event promoted by Fazenda BASF

Farmers across Brazil know that the success of the harvest depends on many factors. Among them, and one of the most important on the list, is the climate. The amount and distribution of rain, soil humidity and temperature, the incidence of light and thermal conditions are some of the variables that always influence the management of pests, weeds and diseases and should be on the radar of anyone who wants to have a good harvest. in the 2022/23 harvest. To help with decision-making in the field, climate and efficient management are the topics of a free online event on October 20th, at 9am. The conversation with experts will be held at BASF Farm, content platform for agribusiness.

The conversation will be mediated by Gustavo Bastos, senior manager of Southern Marketing for Agricultural Solutions at BASF.
