A study by Embrapa Cerrados (DF) showed that the intercropped planting of grains with forage grasses is capable of reducing the incidence of weeds in soybean cultivation. After two harvests with the systems, it was possible to observe a decrease of up to 87% in the dry weight of these invasive species. At the same time, the technique resulted in gains of 8% in average oilseed productivity. These results indicate that forage grasses, in addition to acting as soil cover plants, can be inserted into intercropped systems or in succession as one of the strategies for sustainable intensification of the agricultural system.

The Mato-Grossense Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea) consolidated the yield of the 2020/21 cotton harvest in the State. Productivity stood at 277.68 @/ha of seed cotton, a decrease of 0.49% compared to the last report and 9.46% compared to the last harvest.

With the aim of continuing its efforts to increase the production of grains and fibers in a sustainable way, SLC Agrícola operates in Crop-Livestock Integration (ILP) with a combination of initiatives and strategies in order to contribute to increasing crop productivity, in addition to expand positive environmental impacts with increased carbon absorption by the soil, via increased levels of organic matter.

SLC Agrícola, one of the world’s largest producers of grains and fibers, was part of the Summit Agronegócio 2021 program, promoted by the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo on the 16th and 17th of November.
