The purchase of soybean seeds plays a crucial role in unlocking the crop's potential productivity and should consider factors such as germination capacity, vigor, health, and purity. High-quality seeds have better germination rates and pose less risk of disease. According to Rafael Toscano, Senior Seed Manager at ORÍGEO, it's essential to align these qualities with soil preparation and agricultural practices.
“Soybean seeds are embryos encased in a thin seed coat, making them extremely sensitive. Several factors can influence the loss of quality. Even improper handling can cause surface ruptures and damage to plant tissues, compromising their physical, physiological, and sanitary quality. This underscores the importance of careful handling and proper storage on the farm,” Toscano emphasizes.
When purchasing seeds, farmers should ensure quality verification, including sanitary assessments, often with the help of specialized laboratories. ORÍGEO, in partnership with Seedcorp I HO, offers high-yielding seeds through Ellas Genética cultivars. These varieties, such as Luiza IPRO and Manu IPRO, incorporate advanced technology and demonstrate proven performance, especially in the Cerrado region, known for their outstanding productivity and health.
“These are varieties with excellent performance verified in various trials, ensuring productivity and health, and are completely adapted to the Cerrado. In addition to having a high productive ceiling, they have shown excellent field results in the last harvest, which is extremely important for farmers.”
ORÍGEO has developed a unique partnership with Seedcorp I HO to leverage high-performance seed varieties specifically tailored for the demands of Brazilian agriculture. Their focus on advanced genetic technology and meticulous quality control enables farmers to maximize yield and maintain crop health across challenging environments.
