It was harvested this Tuesday, 27, in the experimental field of the Coopavel Rural Show, the soybean cultivated with Irriluce Technology Light Supplementation of the Fienile Group. The material that obtained the highest number of bags per hectare was “Thunder”, with 118.46, which, in addition to light, also received water irrigation, followed by “Zeus”, with 107.38. The average among all materials was 80.14, that is, 24.6% higher than the average recorded in the state, which according to the National Supply Company (CONAB), was 64.3 and 34.1% higher than the average recorded in Brazil of 59.76, in the 22/23 harvest.
The experimental field was planted in October last year, accompanied by Coopavel’s agronomic body and carried out with a seeder, 70 cm spacing, spraying, water management, soil and soil restructuring and had six materials divided into two pivots with light supplementation, one with water irrigation and the other without. For each pivot there were three soybean materials: Spear, Zeus and Thunder. According to the farmer and CEO of the Fienile Group, Gustavo Alexandre Grossi, “the objective of the experiment was to reproduce what farmers go through on a daily basis in the field, and the pivots with and without irrigation to reproduce the reality of both irrigated areas in Brazil and rainfed areas”.
The harvest day was attended by academics, professors, researchers, entrepreneurs, partners and rural producers. Before heading to the field, visitors were welcomed with a cocktail at Espaço Impulso, an environment within the Coopavel Space for actions, research, experiments and development of new products and services. During a short presentation. Dilvo Grolli welcomed the participants and explained that the Rural Show aims to accelerate the distribution of technologies and innovation for competitiveness and profitability in rural properties, since it is an activity in which the sky and climate are not dominated, “bringing more productivity with a reduction in costs, inputs and operations, Even though it is an open-air activity, with climate risk, but always connected with rural producers in the most modern technologies, including minimizing losses due to climatic factors.”
The CEO of the Fienile Group presented the project that fosters the technology and explained that participation in Espaço Impulso is essential for the success of the experiment, “we are in Espaço Impulso to prove that the Irriluce Technology works and brings excellent results and many benefits, both to rural producers and to the end consumer, since we seek to produce more, with more quality, in the same space and with less impact on the environment. In this experiment we also had pressure from neighboring areas that were being harvested with pests and diseases, and even with the bad weather we achieved very positive results, in addition to having acquired more experience to apply to future research.”
