According to Emater’s bulletin on Thursday, Rio Grande do Sul’s soybean planting achieved 96% of the expected area as of last Monday, 26. This is a two-percentage point gain from Thursday of last week. “The crops show outstanding growth, which is fueled by high luminosity and appropriate soil moisture levels. Sufficient vigor is indicated by the expressive emission of lateral branches and closure between adjacent rows in plants in the vegetative phase, which comprise 96% of the cultivation area,” says the bulletin. One of Brazil’s three biggest soybean producers, Rio Grande do Sul, is wrapping up the planting of its 2024–2025 crop, while other Brazilian states, like Mato Grosso, are almost ready to begin harvesting.
