Como surgiu o feijão de terceira safra ou feijão de inverno no Brasil? Um pouco de história

Abstract

The 3rd planting season, or irrigated or winter bean, appeared in the early 1980s. Small bean production at that time already existed, but took off with the emergence of large irrigation systems called central pivot, capable of irrigating areas of 120 ha with a 360 degree turn in just 24 h. Due to the milder climate planting season, irrigation and better management, the yields obtained exceed 2000 kg ha-1, substantially higher than the yields of other planting seasons. This article also presents some factors that result in high yields for the crop.
