Vegetable growers 

In the Emater/RS-Ascar de Ijuí region, the return of moisture in the soil and air benefits the development of vegetable crops. Producers took advantage of the moisture in the soil to intensify sowing and transplanting new areas. Vegetable prices remained stable in the region, with prices the same as the previous week.

In the Northwest Frontier and Missões regions, cassava crops continue to develop vegetatively. Producers weed weeds. In most crops, good stand formation and good plant health conditions are observed. However, some varieties that are more sensitive to diseases continue to show rot due to the excess humidity that occurred in early November. In the Northeast region, Passo Fundo region, late varieties of garlic are in the harvest phase. In general, the harvested product is of good quality. No local quote.

In the Emater/RS-Ascar region of Caxias do Sul, the harvest of the super early varieties of onion is complete, the early varieties are heading towards the end and the late variety, Crioula, has not yet started, which represents 85% of the total area of ​​1,4 XNUMX thousand hectares cultivated in Serra Gaúcha. The delay in the development of these crops was caused by low temperatures in August and September, excess humidity and little solar radiation in October and part of November.
