SUBREGION NORTH

BACKGROUND FOR THE CROP

        

Planting of intermediate to long-cycle varieties started by late May, and continued until late July. Short-cycle varieties were sown last.  Germination and tillering were under good water availability in the soil.
Grain spider mites, ear aphids, and yellow spots were observed in some areas. 
The crop started developing under proper conditions but then the drought, frosts, and hail negatively impacted on yields. Yields were not uniform and averaged 28 q/h in the Department of San Martin; 22 q/h in Tercero Arriba; 26 q/h in Rio Segundo, and 18 q/h in Santa Maria.
Generally, the grain quality was very good, with appropriate test weight and gluten content.
