In the year celebrating its 50th anniversary, Embrapa once again holds its traditional Soy Field Day. The event will take place on February 16th, starting at 8 am, at the Embrapa Rondônia Experimental Field in Vilhena, located on BR-364, Km 6, towards Mato Grosso. Participation in the Field Day is free and transgenic and conventional soybean cultivars will be presented, as well as information on crop management, crop-livestock and forage integration.

Embrapa Soja researcher, Rodrigo Brogin, highlights that “Field Day is a rich opportunity to exchange and update the most recent information and strengthen links between the main members of the sector”.

Soybean

Soybeans are the main grain crop in the state of Rondônia, with an approximate area for the 2022/2023 harvest of around 500 thousand hectares of planted area, with an expected production of more than 1,7 million tons of grains, according to data from Conab. Soybean planting allows a good planting window for second-crop corn, with the possibility of more than 60% of the planted area.

According to Vicente Godinho, a researcher at Embrapa Rondônia, this harvest, in addition to the challenge of coexisting with Asian soybean rust, two more major problems were detected: plant breakage and pod anomalies, whose origin is still unknown and has caused major disruptions. for producers in some regions.
