Planting began in May, with good soil moisture levels. Planting ended on June 24; lack of sufficient moisture in the soil led to decrease the area planted.
Fertilization was not even. Some wheat fields received proper amount of fertilizers but fertilization was insufficient in other areas and some fields were not fertilized at all.
Tillering developed under moisture deficit due to lack of rains. Temperatures were low and pest infestation was not significant.
By late July and first week in August, it rained in General San Martin and Rio Segundo departments.
Rust and yellow spot appeared in some fields planted with susceptible varieties.
To the west, in Tercero Arriba department, the first two weeks in September presented good soil moisture level. Drought found the crop at tillering, booting and with flag leaf emergence.
First week in October, the crop was booting, flag leaves were emerging as well as wheat tassels.
Second week in October, soil moisture was average in the west of Tercero Arriba and Rio Segundo departments, where yields were estimated at 2,240 kg/h.
General San Martin department got good yields, with a maximum of 2,700 kg/h. Harvest ended by mid December, with an average yield a little above 2,300 kg/h.
