​DuPont Colheita Farta awards champion producers of soybean productivity in Curitiba (PR)

The company DuPont Crop Protection held on the 6th, in the capital of Paraná, the award event for the DuPont Colheita Farta Paraná program. The project annually recognizes farmers in the State who achieve the best soybean productivity rates based on the DuPont Soy Program pest and disease treatment method, implemented from the pre-planting stage until the oilseed harvest.

The top three in Paraná were producers Eloir Geraldo Tozetto, from the city of Ponta Grossa, Roberto Chasco, from the municipality of Irati and Ivanio Colet, from Vitorino.

Eloir Geraldo Tozetto was selected to participate in the national stage of the productivity contest, which will take place next August, bringing together award-winning producers in other regions of the Brazilian soybean agricultural frontier, such as Bahia, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, among others.

According to DuPont, around 330 producers are registered to participate in this year's edition of the DuPont Colheita Farta program. The contest regulations consider the productivity indicators found on the properties of registered farmers during the 2016/17 harvest, which recently ended.

DuPont Colheita Farta is an exclusive project of DuPont Brasil Crop Protection. The initiative's central objective is to disseminate management practices for resistance to agricultural pesticides involving a set of the company's technologies: the fungicide Aproach Prima, the insecticide for seed treatment Dermacor, the insecticides Avatar, Benevia, Lannate and Premio and the herbicide Classic.

“The inputs that make up the DuPont Soy Program are high technology and help producers achieve high productivity rates throughout the country. The insecticide Lannate is applied in the pre-planting stage. Dermacor seed treatment, recommended at the planting stage, while Classic herbicide is used to desiccate the crop. In the crop development phase, the program covers the insecticides Avatar, Benevia, Lannate and Premio, in addition to the fungicide Aproach Prima”, summarizes the marketing director of DuPont Brasil, Raphael Godinho.
