Cultivation in Mato Grosso to SUL has good condition, from 75% of the cultivated corn of the second crop, “Safrinha”, positively assessed in accordance with SIGA data (Agribusiness geography information system), run by aproso (alliance alliance). The assessment takes into account the presence of pests, defects in the plant stand, defoliation and other factors that can affect performance.

In the northern region, 92% of crops are in good condition, while in the north -east the index reaches 98%. Registration of western, center and south -west regions respectively 97%, 77% and 85% of crops in good condition.

In the southern and southern regions, interest is much lower, 32% and 55%, respectively. According to the technical coordinator, Gabriela Balta, this assessment is based on a total area grown on real estate and classifies crops as “bad”, “regular” or “good”.

“In order for the right to be classified as” evil “, it must have several negative criteria, such as the high invasion of pests (weeds, pests and diseases) or defects in the plant cabin, excessive defoliation, leaf winding, early yellowing of plants, including defects that cause significant performance losses,” he explains.

The “regular” classification is attributed to vessels that have few problems related to pests, a reasonable plant cabin and a small yellowing of developing plants. “The” good “classification is transferred to crops that have no previous features, with healthy plants and which guarantee good performance,” he concludes.

These data reflect the health of plants in various regions of the state, especially the production potential of the second corn cultivation, which should reach 10.2 million tons, which is an increase of 20.6% in the previous cycle.
