BACKGROUND FOR THE CROP

 
        

 
 
 
Although farmers started planting wheat in mid-May, sowing was completed only by mid-June, under very good conditions. Short cycles were sown in the first days of July. Some plots were not sown due to lack of humidity from mid-July onwards.
Growth and tillering were under proper soil humidity, thanks to water reserves. In August, atypical cold weather and insufficient sunlight delayed growth and affected the plots that were already flowering.  The reproductive stage in long-cycle varieties started under water stress. Rains came late in September, favoring short cycle cultivars.
Harvest started in mid-October, a little late due to rains and drizzles leading to excessive soil moisture; it continued until late November.
