The risk of flowering in some sugarcane fields in the Center-South region is high for the 2026/27 harvest.

This Tuesday (12), the DATAGRO disclosed his Climate report Focused on monitoring the probability of flowering in sugarcane fields in the Central-South region of Brazil. According to the consultancy, this year, during the floral induction period, between February 25th and March 20th, climatic conditions were favorable for flowering in sugarcane fields in Minas Gerais and in the São Paulo microregions of Piracicaba, Ribeirão Preto, and São José do Rio Preto. This scenario was reported on March 23rd. on the DATAGRO portalSugarcane flowering occurs when the apical bud changes from the vegetative to the reproductive stage. Therefore, instead of producing leaves and stalks, the plant begins to emit flowers, initiating the pithiness process. According to the document, "this process reduces the concentration of Total Recoverable Sugars (TRS) and can compromise the industrial quality of the raw material."
