The distribution of weeds is not homogeneous in rice fields: it usually appears in the form of patches, which suggests that pesticide applications is inefficient, since the application of herbicides in this type of crop is done uniformly, to full coverage.

The scarce presence of trees that characterizes extensive livestock production, brings problems such as the degradation of soil and water resources, increased temperatures, low quality and availability of forage, which results in low productivity and sustainability of production.

The sowing of the winter crops is approaching (in Uruguay) and it is a good moment to remember the importance of the use of healthy seeds or with minimal pathogen load. Before harvest, various pathogens can infect wheat and barley seeds and remain with their host until the next planting, when they will begin a new cycle of infection.

The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and the Papalotla Group, a leading company worldwide in the production of improved seeds for hybrid pastures, signed the agreement "Sustainable intensification for environmental benefit".

In a changing agricultural scenario, characterized by greater environmental protection, climate change and scarcity of irrigation water, the INIA Rice Genetic Improvement Program aims to establish an increasingly sustainable crop, implementing new production methods.

Scientific experts from the National Institute of Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock Research (INIFAP), generated an investigation regarding the association of bean and citrus crops, carried out in the north of Veracruz, with the objective of promoting the sowing of said legume, comparing the association with citrus fruits with respect to monoc
