Corn: Paraguay can reduce yield gaps and expand production

Published 2024년 10월 21일

Tridge summary

A study by Alencar Zanon, presented at the +Maíz National Congress, found a gap between the potential and actual yield of corn in Paraguay, with the potential ranging from 9 to 13.5 tons per hectare compared to an average yield of 11 tons. This gap is due to factors like density and nutrition management. The study, part of the Global Yield Gap Atlas project, aims to find ways to increase productive potential with minimal impact, supported by the National University of Asunción and the Federal University of Santa María.

The professional stressed that these data are supported by work carried out during the last two agricultural campaigns in 975 plots, which were accompanied by professionals from the University of Santa Maria, Brazil, and the National University of Asuncion, within the framework of the global project on yield gaps, whose execution at a regional level is in charge of the FieldCrops Team. Zanon specified that these data will be presented on October 31 at the +Maíz National Congress of the Productive Chain, organized by Productiva C&M. He added that the results of the productivity potential in different productive regions of the country allow us to know what the potential is, the size of the opportunity and what are the factors that most cause the gap. The speaker from +Maíz explained that ecophysiology is the part of agronomy that studies the productive area as a whole, the interaction that exists between the soil, the hybrid, the management and the environment. In this sense, he ...
