There was a 15% growth in Brazil’s bioinputs market in the 2023\/24 season<\/strong>, reaching sales of US$ 920 million \u2013 considering the final price for the farmers. Average annual growth rate was 21% in the last three years, four times higher than the global average. In 2023, bioinsecticides were 34% of the market, followed by bionematicides, 24%, biofungicides, 22%, bioinoculants + solubilizers, 19%.

The company uses slag from steel production to obtain fertilizers,<\/strong> metal scrap, etc. (Harsco Environmental)<\/p>\n There has been a significant increase in fertilizer prices, especially for nitrogen and phosphorus<\/strong>, while potassium has maintained stable prices due to strong supply and good import volumes. High nitrogen prices are attributed to supply shortages in Egypt, which is facing difficulties to manufacture urea.\u00a0Although Egypt is not one of the main suppliers of urea to Brazil, local restrictions since May 20th<\/sup>\u00a0have increased the price of CFR Brazil urea by 21%. The price increase of fertilizers, without a proportional increase in grain prices, is damaging the exchange rate for farmers, especially in the case of corn.\u00a0(Ita\u00fa BBA)<\/p>\n 20th<\/sup>\u00a0Meeting of the Network of Laboratories for Recommendation, Standardization and Dissemination of Microbial Inoculant Technologies for Agriculture happened on June 25th<\/sup>\u00a0and 26th<\/sup>, in Londrina, State of Paran\u00e1, to discuss results and research advances for microbiological inoculants<\/strong>. The event \u201caims to help transfer research results to industry; help standardize rules for the certification of quality organic products\u2026\u201d, said Embrapa Soybean\u2019s researcher Marco Nogueira. (Relare)<\/p>\n With the\u00a0soybean fallow period<\/strong>\u00a0in effect, the Rond\u00f4nia Agrosilvopastoral Health Defense Agency – Idaron began its inspection work around the State’s farms, to prevent the spread of the fungus\u00a0Phakopsora pachyrhizi<\/em>, which causes the Asian rust. \u201cThe Agency maintains a database with all the information on the regions where soybeans are usually planted. With this information in hand, Idaron professionals trace daily routes and travel by car, recording the current situation of all farms involved in soybean cultivation using photos\u201d, said the plant health inspection and defense manager, Jess\u00e9 de Oliveira. (Idaron)<\/p>\n Terraplant, from the State of Santa Catarina, launched the first 3-in-1 organomineral fertilizer in Brazil, which combines organic fraction, essential mineral and oxides. According to Alex Becker, research coordinator at the company, oxides immediately correct soil pH<\/strong>, increasing nutrient availability and neutralizing toxic aluminum. Unlike limestone, which takes 90 to 120 days to act, the oxide offers instant correction, said Becker.

He takes over the position from\u00a0Walter Dias<\/strong>, who was promoted to global head of development. (UPL Brasil)<\/p>\n EuroChem completed its first batch of Monoammonium Phosphate – MAP made at the Serra do Salitre Mineroindustrial Complex, which opened up over two months ago. 1,200 tonnes of MAP have been produced<\/strong>.
