The transition between the soybean harvest and the planting of off-season corn is one of the most critical phases of the production system. The short interval between cultures requires quick, but technically based decisions.
Importance of timing in the transition
Delays in desiccation, failures in area preparation and pesticide residues compromise the initial establishment of corn. Each day lost reduces the productive potential of the off-season.
Main risks at this stage
Among the main risks are:
- Inefficient desiccation.
- Herbicide carryover.
- Poor quality of application during pre-planting.
Application quality as a decisive factor
Well-made applications ensure uniform desiccation and reduce interference with corn emergence. The correct use of adjuvants is essential for this process.
O Route-PH and the Route-VIP They work by improving desiccation efficiency and application quality, ensuring adequate preparation of the area for off-season corn.
The off-season begins with the soybean harvest. Well-executed decisions in this transition make all the difference in the final result.
👉 Speak to a Route technical consultant and plan your off-season in advance.
👉 Ensure a more efficient start of the cycle.
