Summary: Stresses exacerbated by global climate change have negatively affected agricultural production. In this decade, severe droughts and heat waves in the Midwest, Northeast and in the region of MATOPIBA (Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia), the country's newest agricultural frontier, caused losses of hundreds of millions of tons of Brazilian agricultural products (GUTIERREZ et al., 2014). The application of best agricultural practices and the development of varieties that are more adapted and tolerant to this new climate reality are necessary strategies to meet the growing demand for agricultural products.
