The absence of precipitation together with higher than average temperatures shortened the duration of critical stages for the formation of soybean yields. To date, 33.6% of the suitable surface is between R6-R7. Rainfall registered in the NOA, NEA, South of Córdoba, North of La Pampa-West of Buenos Aires, Center and Southeast of Buenos Aires improved the water condition, decreasing by 4 p.p. the condition between Regular-Drought. Despite these records, 7.5 of 10 hectares are in a cultivation condition between Regular-Bad, with expected losses of up to 50% compared to the average of recent years. In turn, the high temperatures continue to generate new losses of harvestable area in second-rate soybean plantations, mainly in the Center-North of Santa Fe, North Nucleus, South Nucleus and Center-East of Entre Ríos, affecting the estimate of total production. soy. With respect to corn, similar to what has been observed over the last few weeks over the Center-North of Santa Fe and Entre ...
