Areas of instability are active in the central region of Brazil, which will cause rains in several parts of Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Cerrado, Pará and in practically all areas of Maranhão, Piauí, Tocantins and Bahia, reports Climatempo .
These rains, both in Rondônia and in Mato Grosso, Goiás and northern Mato Grosso do Sul, have been hindering much the full progress of the soybean harvest and subsequent planting of the maize crop, whose planting window is almost completed. However, as of tomorrow the forecast will be of rains, almost daily, but only in the form of irregular strokes.
The conditions will not yet be complete for harvesting, and especially for planting corn, but there will already be a much better condition than what has been happening since the beginning of last week, where the weather overwintered over much of the central strip of the country, the carrying out of the field work and caused damage to the crops.
This meteorological pattern should persist throughout the first half of March throughout the Midwest, Southeast in the Maranhão, Piauí, Tocantins and Bahia regions. Thus, the conditions for the harvesting of soybeans and the planting of corn must go through without major problems. However, in the case of maize, the situation is not so favorable, since the ideal planting window is shortening day by day, and plantings from that week already enter a risk zone, since there is an estimated rainfall only for the first half of April.
South
In the south, including southern Mato Grosso do Sul, rainfall is expected to return this week, but only at the end of the year is there forecasting more widespread rainfall, and especially in good volumes on the producing areas of this region. On the one hand, the firmer weather has made possible the full realization of the harvest and other cultural dealings. But on the other hand, there are already some microregions, especially in Rio Grande do Sul, which continue to have low levels of soil moisture, which compromises the development of crops.
The same has been happening in the producing regions of São Paulo, where the absence of regular rainfall for more than a week and the forecast of widespread rains only in the middle of this year worries many producers of soy, corn, coffee and sugar cane, since the soils have been reducing their humidity levels and the strong heat accelerates this reduction, as well as harms the development of the crops. But even with such conditions, the crops still have good phytosanitary aspects, which indicates that there will be good yields of productivity in this harvest.
There are few areas in the entire southern half of Brazil that display crops in poor phytosanitary / developmental states. And the trend with the return of the rains during that week, the conditions remain favorable to the development and above all, to the productivity of the plants.
