Embrapa Launches Carioca And Black Bean Varieties At Show Rural Focused On Productivity, Safe Management And Agricultural Innovation.
On World Bean Day, celebrated this Tuesday (10), Embrapa announced the launch of four new bean varieties during the Show Rural Coopavel, held in Cascavel (PR).
The varieties include materials from the carioca bean and black bean groups, developed to increase productivity, enhance safety in management, and strengthen the national grain production.
The presentation took place at one of the largest agricultural technology events in Latin America, bringing together researchers, producers, and companies in the sector.
-
The sugar-energy sector advances with agricultural technology, but agricultural productivity still raises concerns.
-
The eggshell that almost everyone throws away is made up of about 95% calcium carbonate and can help enrich the soil when crushed, slowly releasing nutrients and being reused in home gardens and vegetable patches.
-
This farm in the United States does not use sunlight, does not use soil, and produces 500 times more food per square meter than traditional agriculture: the secret lies in 42,000 LEDs, hydroponics, and a system that recycles even the heat from the lamps.
-
The water that almost everyone throws away after cooking potatoes carries nutrients released during the preparation and can be reused to help in the development of plants when used correctly at the base of gardens and pots, at no additional cost and without changing the routine.
The new varieties were developed to address current challenges in the field, such as climate risks, disease pressure, and the need for greater economic predictability.
Moreover, the launches are part of a broader innovation package, which includes technical publications and phytosanitary solutions based on agricultural nanotechnology, expanding the technological reach presented at the event.
Embrapa Bets On Productivity And Agronomic Stability
The four new bean varieties were developed with a focus on agronomic performance and productive safety.
According to Embrapa, the goal is to offer materials more adapted to the different cultivation realities of the country.
These technologies prioritize not only productivity but also stability in the field – an essential factor given the increasing climatic variability.
Thus, the producer gains greater harvest predictability and better commercial positioning.
Carioca Bean Leads Innovation With High Market Value
Among the highlights presented at the Show Rural, two varieties of carioca bean stood out for their productive potential and differentiated commercial attributes.
The BRS ELO FC424 presents a high productivity ceiling and an initial recommendation for the South Region.
However, there is potential for expansion to the Midwest and Northeast, increasing its strategic relevance.
On the other hand, the BRS ELO FC429 was developed for higher value-added niches.
Its main differential lies in the slow darkening of the grains – a characteristic that prolongs shelf life and increases marketing flexibility.
Black Bean Varieties Focus On Sanitation And Quick Cycle
In the black bean group, innovations also prioritize productive efficiency.
The BRS FP426 was designed with a focus on agronomic safety, especially in areas with a history of diseases.
This material also shows good performance in central pivot irrigated systems, enhancing its adaptability.
On the other hand, the BRS FP327 combines early cycle and high productivity.
This feature favors systems that require faster financial returns and optimization of agricultural management.
Technical Publication Expands Technology Transfer
In addition to the new bean varieties, Embrapa launched the technical publication Application Technology of Pesticides.
The material was developed in partnership with Embrapa Soybean and Unicentro.
The content includes practical guidance to increase the efficiency of applications in the field.
Among the topics covered are technical criteria, ideal environmental conditions, and operator training.
In this way, the initiative reinforces that productivity is directly linked to the correct use of technologies and good agricultural practices.
Agricultural Nanotechnology Advances In Pest Control
In the wake of the innovations presented at the Show Rural, the industry also brought relevant new items.
Thus, Adama launched an insecticide based on agricultural nanotechnology, aimed at controlling stink bugs in soybeans and the corn leafhopper.
These pests are among the main contributors to production losses in Brazilian crops. Therefore, more efficient solutions gain strategic importance in phytosanitary management.
Galil Nano Insecticide Launches New Technological Platform
Named Galil nano, the product inaugurates a new technological platform for the company and is expected to hit the market in the 2026/27 harvest.
The differential lies in the nano-scale formulation, which enhances the biological efficiency of the insecticide.
According to experts, smaller particles increase interaction with both the plant and the target insect.
Then, the company’s insecticide manager, Raphael Malandrino, explains:
“A nano particle can be up to a thousand times smaller than a particle from a conventional formulation.
This reduced size brings benefits such as faster absorption by the plant or greater contamination of the insect.”
Integration Between Genetics And Crop Protection
Thus, the simultaneous presence of new bean varieties and solutions in agricultural nanotechnology highlights a clear trend in agribusiness: the integration between genetic improvement and crop protection technologies.
While genetics increases productivity and resistance, technological inputs reinforce pest and disease control.
Thus, the producer begins to operate with more resilient and efficient systems.
Show Rural Reinforces Its Role As A Technological Showcase
Then the Show Rural consolidates, once again, as a strategic stage for launches that directly impact Brazilian agriculture.
Thus, the participation of Embrapa and companies in the sector demonstrates the strength of research and applied innovation.
Therefore, with new bean varieties, advancements in carioca beans, and solutions in agricultural nanotechnology, the event reinforces its role in the dissemination of technologies that sustain the competitiveness of national agribusiness.
