Conscious management is the proposal for agriculture to look at the basics again

The production cycle is marked by care, protection, technology investment, planning and productivity. But, linked to this entire process, it is necessary to look back at the basics and do it well. "Often within a system, actions are very common, such as the use of a protective product against pests and diseases and together with the inclusion of a fertilizer, for example, to nourish the plant. But, is this what that crop needs? ?”, asks Thiago Sylvestre (photo), Trade Marketing Manager at Agrivalle.

What Thiago brings with this questioning of thought before action. First look at your land, observe the plants beforehand and then act. Including the nutrition it needs, added to soil regeneration care, better development of the root system and linked to the care and prevention of pests and diseases.   

After all, talking about conscious and sustainable management is talking about balance and especially in this soil/plant interaction. "When I think about soil regeneration and sustainability, for me it is very linked to where, how and when I want to reach in terms of productivity. And producers who have this type of vision can add value to their business. Conscious Management is without waste and always looking to improve the environment of the production system", says Thiago. 

Another important point is to think about the techniques used that enrich the system, such as crop rotation, which, in simple terms, is nothing more than returning to the biota what was removed from it. As Thiago explains, plants grow, germinate, use the nutrients available within the seeds as a resource to sprout and develop, until the moment they need to expand and start absorbing their nutrients from the soil along with water. 

In an exchange system, it returns “carbon-containing compounds to the soil”, and soil microorganisms use them as food. When there is no crop rotation, what happens is a lack of biodiversity in microorganisms in the biota. "When the plant uses a lot of the soil in its productivity and returns very little, it is automatically worsening or impoverishing, not only the fertility of the soil, but also the microbiota that needs balance. For example, the planted soybeans work 24 hours a day. day and based on this set of information, it is necessary to look at other factors, which often go beyond a pre-established calendar, in order to make the system more sustainable", he advises. 

Agrivalle offers a complete line based on 4 pillars: Protection, Enhancement, Regeneration and Activation, which, due to its bio-input characteristics, also contributes to conscious management. Supporting producers who seek high productivity, so that they are ready to look at all factors in their crops, and promoting balance between them all.
