High doses of limestone increase productivity in Matopiba
Application of doses of 10 tons per hectare resulted in increases of 18% and 12%
Over the past 60 years, Brazilian agriculture, especially the horticulture sector, has undergone a revolution. In the 1960s, farming methods were traditional and production, geared towards local consumption, was modest. The use of agricultural technologies was limited, and the productivity of small producers was directly affected by climate conditions and lack of resources.
However, from the 1970s onwards, Brazil began a process of modernizing agriculture, with the adoption of new technologies, such as the use of improved seeds, fertilizers, efficient irrigation and mechanization of the fields. Horticulture, which had previously been practiced in an artisanal manner, began to industrialize and expand, with the production of vegetables such as tomatoes, onions and lettuce reaching new levels of quality and quantity.
It was in this context that Topseed, a seed line from Agristar do Brasil, accompanied the growth of the sector. Launched at a time of transition towards the modernization of agriculture, Topseed played a crucial role in bringing innovations that helped producers increase their productivity and adapt to new market demands. The seed line was one of those responsible for ensuring good results for farmers, helping them overcome challenges such as climate variability and diseases, while keeping them in business, with generational success.
Today, Topseed continues to be a line that adapts to the new needs of producers, always seeking to innovate and bring quality, while keeping up with market trends and technological advances. Focused on the future, the Topseed line not only represents the growth of Brazilian agriculture, but also the commitment to the legacy of agricultural families, who continue to pass the activity from generation to generation, driven by the trust in the seeds that helped transform horticulture in Brazil.
To this end, the company maintains a robust and modern infrastructure, designed to meet the growing demands of Brazilian agriculture. Using advanced machinery, the company invests in cutting-edge technologies that ensure efficiency and precision in the production process. Its facilities include high-performance equipment for seed selection and processing, always aiming for quality and reliability of the products offered.
In addition to machinery, Agristar is concerned with the packaging of its products, developing modern, practical and safe solutions. Its packaging not only preserves the quality of the seeds but also facilitates handling and application in the field, providing convenience and agility to producers.
With a consolidated presence throughout the country, the company has a network of strategic distributors, which ensures that its seeds reach farmers throughout the country, offering local support and technical assistance.
