Soybean (Brazil) Max Product Usage Plan

Soybeans in Brazil are a typical summer crop, and their growth is entirely dependent on the rainy season. Due to the vast territory and large latitudinal span, the sowing window gradually shifts later from south to north. Below are the sowing times and other details for various regions of Brazil.

1.Variety Selection:

● Core Requirement: Photoperiod Insensitivity.This is the most fundamental difference between Brazilian soybean varieties and those from the Northern Hemisphere. Due to the low latitude with little variation in daylight hours, varieties need an inherent ability to mature within a fixed growth cycle, rather than relying on changes in day length to trigger flowering.

● Disease Resistance:Resistance to major diseases like Asian Soybean Rust is a key focus of breeding programs.

● Growth Cycle:Varieties with growth cycles between 105-130 days are widely planted to ensure timely harvest.

2. Soil Management:

● Acidic Soil Amendment:Soils in central Brazil are generally highly acidic and poor in fertility. Large-scale application of lime to neutralize acidity and gypsum to improve subsoil calcium levels and root development is a prerequisite for successful cultivation.

● No-Till/Low-Till Direct Seeding:Over 90% of soybean cultivation employs no-till technology. Sowing directly into the residue of the previous crop helps conserve soil moisture, prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and reduce production costs.

3. Pest and Disease Control:

● Primary Threat: Asian Soybean Rust.This is a devastating fungal disease, and Brazil spends enormous amounts annually on its control. Growers rely heavily on fungicides and strictly adhere to a nationwide "soybean-free period" – a specific timeframe where soybean planting is prohibited to interrupt the disease cycle.

● Major Insect Pests:Include caterpillars (e.g., Helicoverpa armigera) and stink bugs. Integrated management strategies involve using insect-resistant transgenic varieties, biological control, and timely insecticide application.

Given the above, soil is the primary productive force in agriculture. After years of effort, Max Group has developed the max unique humate100 product specifically for soil improvement.

max unique humate100

Total humic extract: 80%
Humic acid: 55%
Fulvic acid: 25%
Potassium (K₂O): 10%

This product is a potassium humate derived from young, active weathered lignite, containing very high levels of humic and fulvic acids, with fulvic acid content reaching 25%. During production, MRT (Molecular Reorganization Technology) is applied, making the product more active. It features excellent water solubility, dissolving completely without flocculation within a pH range of 2-12, and does not precipitate even in hard water with 30° dH hardness. Whether used for foliar spraying, drip irrigation, or tank mixing, it leaves no residue.

Brazilian soils are generally highly acidic and poor, while max unique humate100 offers characteristics like hardness resistance, soil improvement, enhanced fertilizer efficiency, growth stimulation, and increased stress tolerance. It is highly suitable for ameliorating Brazilian soils.

Primary Functions and Benefits:

1. Improves Soil:

● Enhances soil aggregate structure, loosening clay soil and increasing the water and nutrient retention capacity of sandy soil.

● Regulates soil pH, mitigating the detrimental effects of saline-alkaline conditions.

2. Enhances Fertilizer Efficiency:

● Chelates nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrient elements, reducing nutrient loss and improving fertilizer utilization rate (known as a "fertilizer synergist").

● Chelates secondary and micronutrients in the soil, making them more readily available for plant uptake.

3. Stimulates Growth:

● Increases enzyme activity within plants, promoting seed germination, root development (especially fibrous roots), and cell division.

4. Enhances Stress Resistance:

● Helps plants better cope with adversities such as drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, and pests/diseases.

5. Improves Crop Quality:

● Promotes the accumulation of nutrients like sugars, vitamins, and proteins, resulting in better-tasting fruits and higher overall quality.

6. Improves Soil Microecology:

● Provides a high-quality carbon and energy source for beneficial soil microorganisms, promoting their proliferation.

The above outlines the remarkable improvements that Max Group's product, max unique humate100, offers for soil health!
