With the high grain productivity in the country, correctly storing so much product has become a challenge. Crowded warehouses and high-cost logistics help to further increase rural producers’ headaches in the harvesting process.

Faced with the problem of storage deficit that the country faces, the silo bag has been a great ally for producers in the field. “It’s impossible to think about producing without relying on plastic storage nowadays”, said a soybean producer from the western region of Bahia. By storing in a bag system, operation flexibility increases and increases planting productivity.

To discuss the topic further, we invited Nathalia Verdelli, application engineer at Braskem; Emerson Borghi, researcher at Embrapa; and Thiago Teixeira, CEO of AgroVelper.

To help solve the storage problem that Brazil faces every year, AgroVelper has in its catalog the Velper Silo, a highly resistant, practical and safe bag for storing grains in the field.

Plastic mulching, traditionally used to cover soil in various crops, continues to bring advantages to rural producers. The product is a low-density polyethylene film, with UV protection added, which protects against the sun’s rays and helps maintain the ideal temperature of the site.

With the immense temperature range in a tropical country like Brazil, AgroVelper developed different versions of Plastic Mulching to serve all regions of the country and the world, they are:

Black and white mulching – Plastic with one side in black and the other in white, which helps to reflect light and reduce the temperature of the bed in warmer regions.

Black and silver mulching – Plastic with one side in white and the other in silver, helping to maintain soil temperature in milder regions

Black mulching – Plastic with both sides black, excellent value for money that helps concentrate the necessary heat in the soil.

And as a new feature for 2023, after a long period of study and development, the new Plastic Mulching color option arrives on the market: Red Plastic Mulching.

Relying on the highest technology in additives and raw materials, the red ground cover film is manufactured with low-density polyethylene and receives several additives that increase the durability of the agricultural film and improves the protection performance when applied in the field. .

In the technology applied to red and black mulching, an exclusive solution from AgroVelper, it was noted that the Red Light reflected by the plastic induces a significant increase in Chlorophyll Type A.

Benefits of using red and black plastic mulching

• Significantly increases crop growth
• Improves the color of vegetables, fruits and vegetables
• Repels insects and virus vectors
• More favorable and economical harvest for the producer
• Reduces the use of agricultural pesticides

The polyethylene film for mulching soil cover in red/black has helped in the vigorous growth of the plant, in the quantity of fruits and leaves in the crop, in the uniformity of the crops and mainly in repelling insects.

Crops that use plastic mulching

Several crops already use mulching as a fundamental input for planting, including: lettuce, chives, vegetables in general, melons, strawberries, watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, among others.

Mulching Price

With several plasticulture technology options, it is easy to choose the mulching that best suits the growing conditions and the planting region. Buying directly from the AgroVelper factory, the producer has even more negotiation advantages.

Buy plastic mulching

To purchase white, silver, black or red plastic mulching, rural producers can contact the AgroVelper factory directly and receive all information about the benefits and prices of the plastic solution.

AgroVelper is a leading brand in the manufacture of various products that are true plastic solutions for agribusiness. With almost 30 years of tradition, the company serves all of Brazil and various regions of the world with its own manufactured products, a lot of technology involved and humanized service.

Expofruit, a traditional international fair for irrigated tropical fruit growing, held another edition at the arts station in Mossoró, in Rio Grande do Norte.

The event received thousands of visitors over 3 days and was attended by small, medium and large producers in the region who were looking for technology and innovation for the field.

AgroVelper could not be left out of this meeting and was present with a stand full of news and real demonstrations of products that are true plastic solutions for agribusiness.

Producers who visited the AgroVelper space at Expofruit 2023 could get to know up close the product that has significantly changed the productivity of several crops in Mossoró and throughout Brazil, Plastic Mulching.

Throughout the event, AgroVelper’s plastic mulching was displayed at the stand in a real representation of a melon bed, clearly illustrating the correct application of the product and the benefits of covering the soil with resistant plastic.

AgroVelper’s technical service team shared with each visitor the benefits and advantages of plastic mulching for growing melons, watermelons and several other crops.

According to Felipe Santos, head of communications and marketing at AgroVelper, providing information, content and real product demonstrations is essential to help producers boost productivity in cultivation.

“Being present at Expofruit 2023 is the best way to further strengthen the relationship we have with customers and partners in the region, in addition to promoting the use of plasticulture in cultivation,” said Felipe.

Black and white plastic mulching for melon and watermelon cultivation is one of the main allies of producers in northeastern Brazil. This is because plastic creates a physical barrier that prevents the proliferation of weeds, helps control the microclimate and consequently helps save water, labor and various other inputs.

Melon production in Mossoró is one of the most important in Brazil and the world. The city is known for the nutritional and visual quality of its fruits. Expofruit 2023 was an excellent opportunity to bring knowledge, information and connect even more with partners and customers in the region.

Always seeking to offer innovations for the agricultural plasticulture market, AgroVelper, in partnership with Basf and Braskem, brings to the market one of the most important solutions for banana producers in Brazil.

Banana bagging is already very common in several crops, but producers have faced problems with quality, cost and adequate management of the plastic used.

To solve this problem, Agrovelper, in partnership with Braskem and Basf, developed the ideal solution for bagging bananas. The product is a much more resistant plastic than the common ones on the market and can be used more than once. The product has strong anti-UV additives that help protect the fruit against the sun and is anti-thrips insects.

How does it work?

The technology applied to banana protection plastic is innovative and eliminates the use of insecticides, consequently the use of PPE (personal protective equipment) for handling and other related items.

To understand even better how the technology works, Beatriz Mazzieiro, an agricultural engineer at Braskem; Matheus Nitta, agronomist at AgroVelper and Thiago Teixeira, director of AgroVelper, had a super interesting chat about the technology and usability of the Anti-Insect Bag for bananas.

Ideal weather and climate conditions are essential to ensure successful cultivation, especially when we talk about more sensitive crops, such as strawberries, for example. And increasingly, technology has worked in favor of producers, creating various products and services that help with quick decision-making.

From the beginning of 2023 until today, a lot of rain has fallen in the central south of Brazil. The state of Mato Grosso do Sul had the wettest February in the last 10 years. In Paraná, the first half of March was also marked by storms that accumulated 87% more than expected for the period. The south of Minas Gerais also received more rain than expected.

And it’s not just rain that can cause damage to crops, excess sunlight and poor light distribution can also disrupt the production of various crops and directly impact productivity in the field.

To help in situations like this, protected cultivation has helped thousands of producers spread across Brazil to maintain ideal climatic conditions throughout the year in the production area.

To talk more about the topic, we chatted in person at the AgroVelper stand at Agrishow 2023 with 3 guests with a lot of experience in protected cultivation.
