Porto Alegre, September 28, 2020 – The soil\nmoisture level is not necessarily the central point to allow a safe planting\nstart in Brazil. However, the expectation of rain ahead ends up being the\nfundamental point. Some locations in the country have already started planting\nsoybeans, while in the southern region, the corn planting has been started. A\nfavorable climate in October will be fundamental for the good development of the\ncrops already planted. October is essential to offer a good planting window for\nthe 2021 second crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rain received in some locations in the\nsecond week of September was not enough to bring comfort to the good initial\ndevelopment of the summer crop. The only region that presents a favorable\ncondition and good crop development is Rio Grande do Sul and south of Santa\nCatarina. The rain has been more regular, with a normal advance of planting and\ndevelopment. Most growers decided not to replant and bet on some recovery of\ncrops, which must affect the potential productivity this year. In the extreme\nwest of Santa Catarina, southwest and south of Paran\u00e1, continuous rain is\nneeded from now on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big issue is that Brazil comes from a\nvery dry winter and needs continuous rain from now on to keep the summer crop\ngoing. There are soybean plantations carried out with dry soil in Paraguay, western\nParan\u00e1, and western Mato Grosso. But the concern with corn is not over the\nsummer planting dates, but on the window for planting the second crop. If the\nrain continues delayed and soybeans prolong the planting to the end of October\nand November, we will again have a late window, February\/March, for planting\nthe second crop. At this point, besides putting the harvest back into\nAugust\/September, there will be a greater risk with the climate next fall. We\nmust remember that in states such as Paran\u00e1, Mato Grosso do Sul, S\u00e3o Paulo, the\nrainfall volume may decrease earlier than normal, and the risk of frosts\nincreases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
