A 20-harvest history shows soybean productivity 3.4% higher than average in years with this climatic phenomenon in the state; a Stoller specialist warns that excessive rainfall reinforces the importance of physiological management.<\/em><\/p>\n

When it comes to El Ni\u00f1o, the most common concern in the field is excessive rainfall in some regions of Brazil. In Mato Grosso do Sul, the phenomenon can create favorable conditions for... soy<\/a>A survey of the historical data from 20 harvests (from 2004\/05 to 2024\/25) in the state, conducted by Stoller, a biological brand of Corteva Agriscience, shows that years influenced by El Ni\u00f1o registered productivity 3.4% above average, according to surveys by the National Supply Company (Conab), cross-referenced with historical climate data. This data indicates that, depending on the region and rainfall distribution, the phenomenon can represent an opportunity, provided that the producer is prepared to also deal with periods of excess or irregular rainfall.\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The scenario gains relevance given the expansion of soybean cultivation in the state. For the 2026\/27 harvest, the cultivated area is estimated at 4.874 million hectares, a growth of 5.51 TP4T compared to the previous cycle. Production, in turn, is projected at 15.331 million tons, with an average productivity of 52.4 sacks per hectare, according to estimates based on the average of the last five years of the SIGA-MS Project, by Aprosoja\/MS in partnership with the State Government and Famasul.<\/p>\n

The influence of El Ni\u00f1o, however, is not uniform across the state. At the start of this growing season, rainfall patterns already show this difference. In the Central-South region, rainfall has favored plant stand establishment, but has also increased the risk of surface soil sealing, which can hinder seedling emergence. In the North, on the other hand, irregular rainfall has limited planting progress, with expectations of accelerated planting from the second half of October.<\/p>\n

For Fernanda Patr\u00edcio, Marketing Manager at Stoller, the challenge lies precisely in transforming water availability into conditions that are effectively favorable to plant development. \u201cThe effects of climate cannot be controlled by the producer, but it is possible to prepare the plant to respond better to different scenarios. In an El Ni\u00f1o year, we can have regions benefiting from greater water availability, but also periods of excessive rain, heat, and variations that impose stress on the crop. Therefore, working on the development of the root system, hormonal balance, plant architecture, and nutritional efficiency is important to better utilize available resources and protect productive potential,\u201d she emphasizes.<\/p>\n

When excess water also becomes a challenge.<\/p>\n

Although greater water availability can be positive for crops, intense and concentrated rainfall can cause temporary waterlogging and reduce the availability of oxygen in the soil. The result is known as hypoxic stress, which compromises root system activity and can affect water and nutrient absorption.\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

According to Fernanda, the impacts can be reflected in different components of productivity. \u201cA less functional root system, for example, can limit the formation of new productive branches and nodes, as well as compromise processes related to Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF). Prolonged periods of cloudiness reduce the availability of radiation for photosynthesis, which can affect the formation and retention of reproductive structures,\u201d she points out.<\/p>\n

The state's own history reinforces that rainfall, in isolation, does not determine the outcome of the harvest. The 2023\/24 season, for example, showed a negative deviation of 13.1% in relation to the productivity trend, even under the influence of El Ni\u00f1o. In this context, physiological management becomes important so that the crop can better respond to the conditions encountered throughout the cycle.<\/p>\n

Physiological management to take advantage of the crop's potential.<\/p>\n

To help prepare the plant in this context, the focus needs to be on strengthening the crop's yield components, namely the number of pods per square meter (m\u00b2), the number of grains per pod, and grain weight. The physiological concept soy<\/a> Stoller's Forte aims to address precisely these components, comprising three management tools: Stimulate 10X, a growth regulator that combines promoting hormones to contribute to hormonal balance and plant development, including processes related to photosynthesis; Hold, acting to reduce the effects associated with stress, contributing to the maintenance of the plant's productive potential and reducing ethylene levels; and Mover technology, which is a micronutrient complex developed to improve plant efficiency during the grain-filling phase, where the plant is still in constant activity and undergoes various processes. nutrients<\/a> They are crucial in this process.<\/p>\n

Another indispensable tool in crop management, aimed at fixing and making nitrogen available to the plant, is the BlueN\u00ae biological solution, which promotes greater accumulation of the nutrient by the plant in an innovative way, through a bacterium that enters the leaf. Among the advantages of BlueN\u00ae are the supply of nitrogen and the high stability of its increase. Stoller's solution integrates efficiently into the producer's fertilization program, functioning as a supplementary source of nitrogen that combines efficiency and sustainable management.\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIn a harvest marked by the influence of El Ni\u00f1o, therefore, the challenge lies not only in coping with the climate, but in taking advantage of favorable conditions without losing sight of stressful moments. For the producer in Mato Grosso do Sul, understanding regional differences and preparing the plant to respond to fluctuations throughout the cycle can be crucial in transforming a potentially positive climatic scenario into productivity,\u201d concludes Fernanda.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
