This study aimed to verify if the variation of the water temperature in tank mix with mancozeb, has any effect in the preparation of the syrup and the effectiveness of Asian soybean rust control. The variation of the water temperature for the preparation of tank mix treatments was carried out directly in the field with immediate application, to avoid temperature fluctuations if the preparation was far from the test. To do this, hot water (80°C) was transported in a thermos and ice water (5° C) in another bottle. By mixing these two water temperatures, it was possible to achieve the desired treatments (T1: 10° C, T2: 20° C, T3: 30° C, T4: 40° CT5: 50° C and T6: control without application) measured with a digital thermometer. The start of the application program was preventive, with no visible signs and symptoms of the disease. Five applications were performed with a 14-day interval between the first three applications and 10 days for the latter ones. Only the mancozeb in the WG formulation was used in the study. The water at 30° C proved to be the best option for the preparation of the tank mix alone with WG (Unizeb Gold®) mancozeb. Water with cold temperatures (around 10° C) and hot (around 50 ° C) reduce the disease control and yield. More studies about syrup temperatures are necessary, with the combination of other fungicides in tank mixing.

Looking for the construction of high potential crops, there are several threats from which we need to defend ourselves. Biotic and abiotic stresses of the most varied forms can affect plant development and the formation and maintenance of yield components, the main ones being; pods/m², pods/pod and grain weight.
Carboxamides correspond to a chemical group of old and new fungicide at the same time. Its first representative (carboxym fungicide) dates from the 1960s and was developed with the aim of controlling diseases through seed treatment, initially in wheat and later in several other crops including soybeans. In the 2000s, the pyrazole sub-group was identified, the newest and most modern version of carboxamides, which includes the main active fungicides currently used, especially in soybean, but also in corn, wheat, cotton and beans.
Stimulators, metabolic enhancers, plant strengtheners, plant elicitors, plant conditioners, phytostimulators, biofertilizers, biostimulants. There are countless terms that involve the science still in development about plant growth regulators, substances whose actives are not always visible on the product inserts, but which gain market space in the face of the biotic and abiotic challenges of agricultural production, a still recent strategy of management that in some cases exploits the lack of information from the producer as the main access route, but which, when properly used, allows improvements in the structural development of the soybean crop, as well as an increase in its tolerance or recovery to climatic conditions and/or adversities of management, significantly increasing productivity.
Over the last few crops, favored by prolonged periods of dry weather, these small insects, in the case of thrips and arachnids, have needed extra attention from the producer. Despite their small size, they show high potential for damage when not handled properly and especially at the right time.
Caterpillars are insects of the order Lepidoptera. Its most representative family is the noctuidaes, with approximately: 8,539 identified species. Most caterpillar species share moths of all sizes (30 cm to 15 mm), which survive in a wide variety of environments.

Establishment is the most critical phase of soybeans in lowland environments. The period between sowing and emergence is when there is less control over the number of plants that will establish themselves, the possibility of plant death and the final stand.
Rio Grande do Sul is considered the largest irrigated rice producer in Brazil, together with Santa Catarina, they are responsible for more than 80% of the national production. As it is the most consumed cereal in the world, this position is extremely important to guarantee food safety. However, the presence of weeds can drastically compromise productivity, leading to the economic unfeasibility of the business.
The conventional grain harvester can be functionally divided into five main units: cutting and feeding, threshing, separating, cleaning, transporting and storing grain. On the other hand, the so-called modern harvesters, with axial path flow, combine the path and the separation in the same process, keeping the others.
Weeds are the most important biotic factor that negatively affects agricultural production, being responsible for high losses in crop yield and quality. It is estimated that one horseweed plant (Conyza sp.) per m2 can cause losses of 2 to 7 bags of soybean ha-1. In addition to horseweed, we have a large number of other highly competitive weed species that have evolved and adapted to crops under no-tillage system.
Inoculation is the practice of adding a product that contains a certain biological microorganism, reflecting beneficial functions for the growth and development of plants.
The sowing period for the soybean crop is approaching and for this we have brought some information about what pre-sowing soybean desiccation is, including the best practices used to control weeds.

Today, it is known that good management integrates several aspects, in particular the inclusion of biological products, which, in addition to efficiency, add to sustainability and agricultural revitalization.
The initial management of the crop is essential for high yields, it must be thought of as a system that encompasses well-defined planning and actions.
The seed laboratory is the quality assurance center. The seed represents an indispensable input in the production system, being the protagonist of technological innovations, with this quality being the basis for obtaining good yields, whether due to physical, physiological or sanitary factors.
The sowing time is approaching, farmers are getting ready to start implementing a series of important practices that must be observed for the success of their crops.
The corn leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis) has been causing great damage to corn producers in Rio Grande do Sul, no longer being a problem only in other regions.
Time has always been and will always be our scarcest resource. In agriculture it is no different. Making processes increasingly agile and practical is an activity to be thought about every day. To 3tentos partners, we offer a unique, agile and practical way of commercializing grains: online sales via the 3tentos app.
If the subject is agility and economy, we cannot fail to talk about the Digital Certificate, a very important tool to help rural producers, which brings security and practicality.
The new corn crop has already started, among the main decision decisions are the choice of hybrids, fertility management, weeds and pests.Another decisive aspect for reaping good results is the plantability of the crop, which includes aspects such as sowing speed and depth, soil moisture and the correct choice of discs and rings for planting.
Natural phenomena are unpredictable. Some adverse weather conditions, such as hail, frost, heavy rains and droughts can cause great damage. For this reason, agricultural insurance works as a financial security device for rural properties.
In order to obtain a good wheat production, in general, an adequate plant population is necessary, considering the cultivar and environmental conditions, location, sowing time and level of investment in fertilization, nutrition and phytosanitary maintenance.
We arrived in the middle of 2021 and a lot has happened in our agro market. Let's take a brief look back, looking mainly at the soybean and corn market?
La Niña is over, but atmosphere has not yet come.
In May, the American Meteorological and Oceanographic Agency (NOAA) said that La Niña, a phenomenon that brought a lot of drought to central and southern Brazil in 2020, had ended. We are now under climate neutrality, without La Niña and also without a La Niña phenomenon. The point is that due to the changes for winter, it seems that the Brazilian atmosphere doesn't know about it yet.
After the fall in the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, commodity prices started to recover, reaching expressive values on world exchanges, supported by the strengthening of demand. In the global scenario of soy, for example, what is observed is a production lower than consumption.
To seek the best results of a crop we need to know the steps and processes involved, when we do not achieve the expected result it is necessary to investigate the causes. For this, we evaluate possible climatic variations, we analyze the position of the cultivar, management of fertilizers and / or crop protectors, as well as we need to be attentive to the execution of the processes. But to avoid potential problems with wheat, what should we do?
A new crop of wheat is approaching and along with it, doubts arise in the field of how to manage weeds effectively. And when we come to this subject, the first wheat invader to be remembered without a doubt is ryegrass. But why is ryegrass year after year of concern among farmers? Check out our text and stay on top of the subject.
Agriculture is one of the main economic activities in the field, being considered one of the branches that most promotes the economy of Brazil and the world. In order for this activity to develop to its full potential, a series of factors is necessary that, together, make this gear run. One of them is credit, especially Rural Credit.
To obtain high yields on agricultural crops, numerous strategies can be adopted at different times of the year. When we talk about soil correction and maintenance, mainly for calcium, sulfur and boron, the off-season is one of the most appropriate periods to adopt technical strategies with systemic impact.
