A recent report from the Rosario Stock Exchange reveals that, with 25% of the harvest already harvested, yields 50% higher than expected are being observed.

The good news continues for the agricultural sector. To the rains received during November, there are now surprising increases in wheat yields: a recent report from the Rosario Stock Exchange reveals that, with 25% of the harvest already harvested, yields 50% higher than the previous ones are being observed. expected.

  • The same document, prepared by the Strategic Guide for Agriculture, mentions that soybean planting reaches record numbers.

The wheat situation is surprising, especially in areas such as Carlos Pellegrini and Marcos Juárez, where yields have exceeded initial expectations. This cereal, grown in a cycle with almost no rain, has achieved an average yield of 20 quintals per hectare, well above what was expected at the beginning of the harvest.

When it comes to soybeans, planting has set a new record, with 1.3 million hectares planted in just one week, surpassing the previous record. This advance represents 82% of first-class soybeans, being only 8 percentage points away from the average of the last five campaigns.

However, climate instability continues to be a topic of analysis. Rains are expected for November 28 and 29, which could impact both the planting and development of crops. According to consultant Alfredo Elorriaga, the Pampas region has exceeded the average monthly rainfall values by between 20% and 50% in 21 days of November.

The most worrying aspect is the shortage of fertilizers, which could seriously limit the development of crops, especially second-grade soybeans. Technicians from San Pedro and General Pinto have expressed concern about the lack of phosphorus fertilizers and urea, essential for optimal crop development.
