Santa Fé System

Integrated system developed by Embrapa Arroz e Feijão in the early 2000s, which consists of the cultivation of grains, such as corn, soybeans, rice, among others, intercropped with tropical forages, in particular of the Urochloa genus, such as brachiaria grass, on soils totally or partially corrected in no-tillage or conventional tillage systems, aiming at grain production and pasture and/or silage after harvest, in this case, for the dry or off-season periods.
