Crop Protection South America Monthly Report 1211Published by: CCM International Limited Published: Nov. 30, 2012 - 19 Pages Table of Contents
AbstractCurrently, the sowing of new crops is underway in South America, and it's estimated that the production of crops may decline in this region in 2012/13 due to the unfavorable weather. In Peru and Argentina, due to the excessive rainfall, the production of coffee and corn may decrease in 2012/13. On the contrary, Brazil is suffering from a severe drought, which may negatively affect its production of soybean and wheat in 2012/13.The unfavorable weather leads to increasing pests in South America. In this context, the Brazilian government reminds local growers of being alert to pest management on soybeans in Oct. 2012, while the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) also warns wheat growers that the green belly stink bug has appeared in Brazil, which may do harm to wheat production. In addition, local governments also approve the commercial launch of several crop protection products in order to protect corps from pests and diseases. For example, the Brazilian government approves the commercialization of Arysta LifeScience's Legacy® fungicide in Paraná in order to control white mold on soybeans and bean crops, while the Argentine government has also permitted Syngenta to launch its pesticide—Ampligo® for protecting soybean from Oct. 2012.
