SUBREGION NOA

BACKGROUND FOR THE CROP

 

The surface sown with wheat in Tucumán was approximately 137,000 hectares, with a decrease in the sown area of 24 % as regards the prior campaign. This was due mainly to unfavorable conditions during the sowing period, low rains and the presence of other crops such as sugar cane and legumes such as chickpeas, displacing the area sown with wheat.

In contrast, in the west of Santiago del Estero, a province where the crop is looking to achieve ground cover, there was a significant increase in the surface, helped by a good autumn rains that allowed a good introduction.

The campaign was not so favorable due to the high variability of the water accumulated in the region and the scarce contribution of the rain in the key months for the wheat, April and May, as well as due to the high temperatures in critical moments of the wheat affecting its tillering rate and its grain filling.

There were diseases such as yellow spot and leaf rust, being in general expressed with very low damage levels. In plagues, there were aphids in leaves and ears with a less pressure than normal, and with a higher intensity the mites and trips that in general were satisfactorily controlled with the treatments used.

Yields were highly variable with values reaching a provincial average of 1,100 to 1,200 kg/ha, a low value, but with high variations in the different fields assessed, a characteristic presented frequently in our region.

Irrigated crops reached yields between 2,200 and 2,500 kg / ha.
