Trigo Argentino

SUBREGION III

BACKGROUND FOR THE CROP

Rainfall from February to April reloaded the soil profile. At planting, soil moisture was optimum across the region. However, from May to September, rainfall was below average: Boot stage was shortened and the number of fertile boots in late planted cultivars was lower. Intermediate and short cycle varities were planted late in the season.

Rainfall in October and November was average.

Temperatures were below average in May (-1,8°C), June (-1,5°C), July (-0,3°C) and September (-0,1°C), above average in August (+1,7°C) , and almost average in October and November, which favored proper grain filling.

Foliar diseases were favored by weather conditions from mid-October to November: stem rust (Puccinia graminis-tritici), leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis). The incidence recorded was significant only in susceptible and very susceptible late planted varieties. Yields were not generally affected by these attacks since it was already the grain filling stage.

Following data published by the Entre Rios Board of Trade (SIBER Bolsacer - Reports) - www.bolsacer.org.ar), average production increased 54% compared to last year volumes: there was a increase in the area planted of 41% and average yield increased 10%. The provincial average yield for the 2016/2017 wheat season was 3,238 kg/h.
