Brazil is set to harvest a record soybean crop in 2024-25, with an estimated 170 million tons, the largest amount in history. Despite the weather hurdles, growers have begun harvesting, with 8% of the acreage in Paraná and 4.38% in Mato Grosso. Water stress and high temperatures reduce yield, although some cultivars, including GH2361IPRO, GH2463I2X, and GH2483IPRO, are resilient. In the Midwest, regular rainfall has slowed the harvest, compared to prior years. Nonetheless, adapted varieties have positive results, emphasizing the need for resistant cultivars to ensure yield.
