Farmers are betting on technology to guarantee more productivity per hectare and obtain the best results in the harvest.
Rust is an aggressive disease that is difficult to control and has become resistant to several agricultural pesticides. Investing in the correct agricultural pesticide and adopting some farming habits helps to effectively control the disease:
Check out some tips for efficient management:
- Apply fungicides preventatively.
- Respect the intervals between applications and recommended doses.
- Associate multisites with fungicides with a specific mode of action.
- Rotate fungicides using available chemical groups, such as triazoles, strobilurins, carboxamides, morpholines and multisites.
- Make a maximum of two applications of carboxamide throughout the cycle.
- Rotate crops.
- Prioritize sowing at times less conducive to the development of the disease.
- Use efficient application technologies.
- Prioritize varieties with greater genetic tolerance.
- Respect the “sanitary void”.
Research indicates that, over the years, the fungus that causes Asian Rust has become resistant and, in order not to compromise its performance, producers have been looking for different tools to ensure productivity. Choosing the correct agricultural pesticide is the first step towards safe management.
“We really like BASF, we are very happy with the relationship not only because of the products and programs, but also and mainly because this company goes beyond these products, adding new tools that actually contribute to our day-to-day business. From the results we have had on the farm, I recommend the use of the fungicide Ativum®. In all the areas we harvested this year, we had better productivity than the previous year.” says producer Guilherme Almeida, from Fazenda Alvorada, in Uberlândia/MG.
