The objective of the RNPG is to discuss research results and technical recommendations for the production of sunflower crops, define priorities and establish partnerships for research and technology transfer in sunflower in different regions of Brazil.
The event aims to address topics related to fertility management in sunflower production systems, weed control, phytosanitary management, commercialization scenarios and climate perspectives for the 2020/2021 harvest. “The dissemination of information on all aspects of the sunflower production chain provides technological support for the evolution of the crop and can help the producer to obtain better productivity and competitive economic returns”, highlights Vicente de Paulo Campos Godinho, researcher at Embrapa Rondônia and president of the event.
The event also includes the submission of scientific works, which will be published in digitized PDF format. More information at website of the event.
According to Conab, Brazil sowed 62 thousand hectares of sunflower in the 2018/19 harvest and produced approximately 105 thousand tons of the grain. Sunflower cultivation is an agricultural alternative for crop diversification, and there is also demand for high quality oil.
Date: October 20th and 21st
