Cotton zoning based on sowing periods of lower risk in Parana state, Brazil

Cotton is cultivated in the North and West of Parana State, southern Brazil, under conditions of climatic risk variable in space and time. Risks of temperature below 15ºC at the establishment period, daily average temperature below 20ºC at the stage of cotton boll opening, and soil water deficit for...

Description
Summary:Cotton is cultivated in the North and West of Parana State, southern Brazil, under conditions of climatic risk variable in space and time. Risks of temperature below 15ºC at the establishment period, daily average temperature below 20ºC at the stage of cotton boll opening, and soil water deficit for both plant establishment and flowering periods, were estimated to identify homogeneous zones with sowing periods of lower climatic risk. The time interval with adequate temperature, associated with minimum risks of the other factors and yield data from field experiments allowed the identification of seven distinct zones, with best sowing periods ranging from September 20 to November 20. Official credit to the farmers is conditioned by the Central Bank of Brazil upon following these recommendation of best sowing periods for each municipality. O algodoeiro é cultivado nas regiões norte e oeste do Estado do Paraná, sob condições climáticas de risco variáveis no tempo e espaço. Os riscos de temperatura média do ar abaixo de 15ºC na fase de estabelecimento da cultura, temperatura média diária abaixo de 20ºC para completar a abertura das maçãs e déficit de água no solo nas fases de estabelecimento e florescimento, foram estimados para identificar, com o suporte de dados de área plantada e dados de produtividade, as zonas homogêneas com períodos de semeadura de menor risco. Os intervalos de tempo com temperatura adequada, associados com mínimo risco de deficiência hídrica e dados de produtividade, permitiram a identificação de sete zonas distintas, com melhores períodos de semeadura entre 20 de setembro e 20 de novembro. As recomendações de melhores períodos de semeadura para cada município devem ser seguidas pelos agricultores que solicitam crédito bancário oficial para o plantio de algodão.
