Published: · Updated:
The coordinator of Embrapa’s Southern Collaborative Platform said in a presentation described in the report published on 9 October that keeping soil covered with living vegetation or crop residue is a key recommendation for the 2026/27 season. The guidance forms part of regional technical advice intended to help reduce the effects of El Niño in southern Brazil.
Embrapa said plant cover and residue can soften the impact of raindrops, help water enter the soil and slow surface runoff. The presentation also emphasized crop planning and monitoring weather conditions. These are regional recommendations, not a guarantee of results for every farm.
