Pará: soy fallow period comes into effect
Rafael Moreira, a researcher at Embrapa Soja, exposes the importance of the Sanitary Empty period for combating the fungus that causes Asian rust.
“Rust is caused by a fungus that needs the living soybean plant to survive. So if you don’t have the plant in the environment, in the field, in the field, the rust fungus spores survive for a maximum of fifty days. So if he doesn’t find the plants, he will fall and die. And this will reduce the population of the fungus”, he explains.
The fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, which causes Asian rust, is a disease that can cause up to 75% of crop losses and has a high capacity for reproduction and dissemination.
