“…For soybean and maize crops, rising temperatures might alter the developmental rates, the phenological and physiological responses (Streck et al ., 2012; Martins et al ., 2019; Fatima et al ., 2020), as well as disrupt crop growth and development, and modify the areas currently suitable for both crops (Assad et al ., 2016;Ramirez‐Cabral et al ., 2017; Zilli et al ., 2020). In addition, for both crops a shorter growing season is projected, that is, an anticipation of phenological stages, mainly in southern Brazil (Streck et al ., 2012; Minuzzi et al ., 2017), Argentina, and Uruguay (Fatima et al ., 2020), and a longer growing season, that is, an extension of phenological stages in parts of the southeast and northeast Brazil (Martins et al ., 2019). Both situations may lead to significant changes in‐field management practices, such as pests and diseases occurrence and rotation schedule, which can be exacerbated by an additional local heating of 0.5°C (Streck et al ., 2012; Assad et al ., 2016; Cera et al ., 2017; Minuzzi et al ., 2017).…”
