The speaker highlights that eucalypts are not native to Brazil and that there is limited information on their relationship to the environment. The speaker mentions that eucalypts make up around 15 to 20 percent of soybean plantations in the three states of Minas Gerais, Paraná, and Rio Grande do Sul, and that radars are not effective in monitoring their production. The speaker also mentions a book they co-authored with their colleague, titled "Plantations: Benefit/Impact Relationship in Forestry with Low Environmental Impact", which discussed the benefits of eucalypts and their effect on the environment. The speaker also mentions that eucalypts are a partner in agriculture and that their impact on the environment varies in relation to their size and the ecosystem. Eucalypts are efficient in photosynthesis and have characteristics that allow them to absorb water easily. Eucalypts also have a small canopy, which does not significantly impact the growth of other species in the understory. Eucalypts are used to regenerate the understory and have a microclimate that can be beneficial to other species. The speaker notes that eucalypts are used in forestry and agriculture, and that they are used for various purposes such as drawing water and providing habitats for other species. The use of agrotoxics in eucalyptus production is not necessary as eucalypts are resistant to pests and diseases and can be controlled through biological means.
