Corteva AgriScience brings together agricultural influencers to discuss solutions for soy and corn management

 Intec ends this Friday (13), an event held by Corteva Agriscience – DowDuPont's Agricultural Division, so that agribusiness influencers can learn about efficient technologies for managing weeds, pests and diseases. Held since the 10th, in the capital of São Paulo, the meeting brought together experts from all over Brazil and discussed the main problems that hinder the productivity of Brazilian crops today.

The event also included the participation of researchers Cecília Czepak (professor at the Federal University of Goiás), Mauro Rizzardi (professor at the University of Passo Fundo) and Robinson Osipe (professor at Fundação Faculdades Luiz Meneguel), who stand out for their work in agronomy and knowledge of the best solutions to ensure cleaner and more productive farming.

According to Marcus Santos, Agronomy Leader at Corteva Agriscience, during the interaction with the experts it was possible to discuss stink bug management in soybeans, Asian rust resistance management in soybeans and the evolution of the scenario of resistant and tolerant weeds. “Our main objectives with this meeting are to promote knowledge to promote good agricultural practices and guarantee the sustainability of Brazilian agribusiness, in addition to presenting our complete portfolio with solutions in fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, seed treatment and biotechnology”, highlights Santos.

Rodrigo Takegawa, Portfolio Leader for Selective Herbicides at Corteva Agriscience, highlights that during Intec it was possible to talk about the best solutions for the major challenges that rural producers face every day in the field. “Weeds such as horseweed and bittergrass, for example, are critical agents and have the potential to get out of control, stealing farmer productivity and negatively impacting Brazilian crops in several ways. Therefore, this exchange of knowledge about management is extremely important”, highlights Takegawa.
