The First, Without a Doubt Initiative, which supports soybean producers, reaches its third year stronger than ever.
According to the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), there are today more than 40 diseases in soybean cultivation that are caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes and viruses. The most alarming of all is that production losses can reach up to 20%.
The problem is complex, but with Bayer's support the solution becomes simpler: always manage diseases correctly and at the right time, as recommended by our First, Without a Doubt Initiative (DPSD).
Just to remind you, the DPSD is completing three years and consists of monitoring soybean areas where the growth of the crop and the evolution of diseases such as rust, target spot, anthracnose and powdery mildew are monitored in real time through cameras installed in the fields . The aim is to demonstrate that the use of fungicides at the right time can make all the difference in the management of these diseases.
DPSD: Proven results.
A great example of success is in Cafelândia (SP), where 70.5 bags/hectare were harvested in the area with correct management, compared to 63.6 bags/hectare in the area with delayed application. It's worth accessing www.deprimeirasemduvida.com.br and checking out everything that's happening.
In addition to Cafelândia, 10 other areas are also monitored through DPSD, in partnership with companies, cooperatives, foundations, institutes, universities and the main researchers in the phytopathology sector in Brazil.
Veritas: ally in productivity and real benefits.
Calcium is an important ally in the fixation of the flower and pods and Veritas, in turn, enhances the translocation of the nutrient, resulting in more productivity. It only requires one application throughout the season, one liter per hectare and must be used at the beginning of the plants' reproductive period.
Bayer Alerts Program: you are always one step ahead of your crop’s enemies.
Alerts is a Bayer initiative created especially to help producers throughout Brazil to protect themselves against the most diverse threats in farming. Simply access the De Primeira, Sem Dúvidas Bayer website, register and check if your region is being affected by any type of disease or pest.
