Native Vegetation Restoration Guide for Mato Grosso
In partnership with Agroicone, FS developed a comprehensive manual designed to guide and support rural producers in restoring native vegetation across Mato Grosso. The document outlines proven techniques—such as natural regeneration, native species planting, and agroforestry systems—while detailing their ecological, economic, and legal benefits. Beyond facilitating environmental compliance, the manual underscores the vital role restoration plays in preserving water resources, safeguarding soil quality, and securing the long-term sustainability of agricultural businesses.

Farm Station is our experimental unit located in Sorriso, Mato Grosso, with an area of 85 hectares. We have been conducting R&D trials on cultivars and hybrids since 2019, even before their commercial launch. New fertilizer formulations are also evaluated, along with biological products and management practices capable of delivering improvement in soil health.
This unit is dedicated to stimulating and supporting applied research aimed at developing or improving sustainable production systems, practices, products, and processes, focusing on enhancing resilience, productivity, and income, as well as controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
Studies are conducted for each harvest year, and the latest reports are available below:
Other Publications on Second-Crop Corn Ethanol
We have curated a comprehensive collection of studies, publications, and scientific communications designed to expand industry knowledge surrounding Brazilian second-crop corn ethanol—a renewable solution with significant potential to lower emissions and strengthen the energy matrix. Drawn from diverse sources, this library provides rigorous evidence, analysis, and insights on the technology, environmental performance, scale, and outlook of biofuels in Brazil.
