The 2019 wheat growing season was under cold weather with rains below average. Yields were good, though, ranging from 1,500 to 3,800 kg/ha. The number of grains per square meter was good, protein content ranged from mid to low, expressed in percentages, and test weight was low.

Rains were scarce, particularly in August and September. The crop’s critical growing period and grain filling were under water stress. Heavy rains occurred in October when harvest was approaching, which could explain the low Ph values.

Temperatures ranged from mild to cold from May to October, and there was no damage from frosts.

Crop health: Low incidence of leaf and stem rust even though yellow rust infection was important. Yellow rust infected susceptible varieties with 2 to 3 nodules in the main stem (August 15) up to HB-1.
