Cotton Brasil12 Oct 2022 02:35
This ain't cotton candy...
... but it's one of the most important raw materials for the fashion industry.
So today, on World Cotton Day, Plant Health Care Brasil] comes to congratulate all the cotton growers who contribute to the development of a culture that brings so much progress to the country. Produced in more than 70 countries, cotton is planted on about 30 million hectares and Brazil is the 4th largest producer and 2nd largest exporter of raw material.
This year the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, celebrates the date remembering the role of cotton farming in sustainable development highlighting the contribution of culture to socio-economic development. About 100 million family farmers are directly dependent on the cotton industry with women playing a key role in the value chain.
Plant Health Care Brasil] always in search of new biologically natural and sustainable solutions for our agro, also contributes to the success of cotton in our country, aiding in the control of plant diseases. Studies conducted by @juliagro_bgp in seed treatment with PREtec SC (SAORI®) technology demonstrate the control of ramularia and target stain in cotton. Seed treatment with technology stimulated plant development making them more resistant to disease, when compared to the foliar fungicid program applied alone, positively influencing productivity, with gains between 1 21 and 132 yards each
It's PHC Brasil and the cotton producer, together.
