RIO GRANDE DO SUL SEMEOU 97% OF THE AREA OF SOYA AND 93% OF CORN

Soyabean planting 2018/2019 in Rio Grande do Sul reaches 97% of the estimated area. The corn crop occupies 93% of the projected area. Rio Grande growers are expected to grow 5.89 million hectares with oilseed. In the region of Planalto the culture has already been fully implemented; but in the south of the state the planting is paralyzed due to the lack of moisture in the soil. There, the crop occupies 85% of the estimated area. According to Emater, the corn crop, which should total a total of 738K hectares, is developing well. “5% of the area is ready for harvest, starting in the next few days, 24% of the crops are in grain filling, 23% in flowering and 41% in germination and vegetative development,” says Emater.
