Bunge began working from this campaign on a program for the generation of biofuels based on rapeseed and camelina oil.
Plans to mitigate global warming create an opportunity and a challenge for agriculture. Basically, sustainable agriculture must be achieved, strict in the care of soil carbon and at the same time increase productivity. Society expects the capture of atmospheric carbon and fixation in the organic matter of the soils, spending the least possible amount of inputs.
For this challenge, which will set the pace of agriculture in the coming years, our country has some well-known tools such as direct seeding. In addition, the consumption of fertilizers has always focused on efficiency and, although it must be improved, there is one of the most efficient agriculture in the world.
“Our work aims to provide alternatives to the agricultural producer, which improve the sustainability of production and open new markets,” remarked the specialist. “For this we have made agreements with seed growers and we are bringing the best alternatives in both crops, along with technical monitoring and specific commercial agreements for these crops.”
The nutrition of these crops has to be balanced and efficient. “We are working on formulas with NPS and Zn since the meso and micronutrients are essential to improve the absorption of macronutrients. The improvement of fertilizers with additions of molecules that inhibit some nitrogen loss processes becomes increasingly important. In this line, urea with a volatilization inhibitor stands out, and the new formulation of SolMIX that adds reduces losses due to leaching.
