Soybean Production in the Municipality of Cascavel - PR: Rainfall Indices as the Main Influence Factor

Abstract

Objective: This work presents factors that influence soybean production in various scenarios, more specifically in Cascavel-PR, between the summer seasons 2016/17 to 2022/23.   Theoretical reference: Soy production is an economic activity with great potential in Brazil and, especially, in the state of Paraná. The climatic conditions present great challenges for the producers, since different factors (shortage of chuvas, high temperatures and the incidence of rain and diseases) affect the development of culture.   Method: Foram pointed out and made comparisons in the production of comfort in various contexts, cultivation areas and relevant information on the climate, specifically as rainfall precipitations below or above the average in various stages of culture in the municipality of Paranaense, and consequently, as oscillations in the summer holidays. They are used in literature, articles, information on sites, magazines and data from governmental organizations (federal and state), with quantitative and qualitative analyses, using the Sisvar software.   Results and conclusion: Among the factors analyzed, climate as the main agent of influence in soybean production.   Implications of the research: To minimize the impacts on productivity and its consequences in regional/economic development, it is necessary to review management techniques at the sole, plant, new technologies and also at the global level; o aquecimento, o dematamento that influences the increase in temperatures and the incidence of rain.   Originality/value: Analyzing two rainfall indices and their relationships with agricultural cultures is crucial to guarantee healthy and productive production. It allows farmers to adapt their management practices, make informed decisions and minimize the risks associated with varying climatic conditions.
