Expected record of soybean planting area innovation in Argentina

Introduction: Foreign Agricultural Service Bureau, USDA According to the data provided by the Ministry of agriculture of Argentina, as of January 18, 2001 / 02, the soybean planting in Argentina has completed 98% of the total estimated area It is estimated that the total sown area will reach a record 11.3 million hectares In 2001 / 02, the whole soybean planting process in Argentina was slightly lower than that of last year Argentina's soybean crop began in early November The second crop soybean is planted after the wheat harvest, starting in early December In 2001 / 02, the second crop soybean planting process was similar to that of last year The planting area of two crops of soybeans has increased It is estimated that the total planting area is more than 3 million hectares or 27% of the total soybean area last year Second crop soybean is susceptible to drought in late February or early March Heavy rains in October in the main production areas of central Argentina damaged wheat crops and delayed the cultivation of summer crops in 2001 / 02 The biggest delays are corn and sunflower seeds, which cannot be planted in many areas These areas are not the main soybean producing areas, so the impact on soybean is limited Excessive moisture delays the cultivation of soybeans in Northwest Buenos Aires In major soybean producing areas, higher than normal rainfall in October and November allowed early sowing Rainfall in Western Cordoba and lapanpa was below normal in December, but later in Santa Fe and Northern Buenos Aires after Christmas reduced the drought The U.S Department of Agriculture estimates that Argentina's soybean production peaked at 28.75 million tons in 2001 / 02, 6% higher than last year It is estimated that the highest record harvest area is 11.1 million ha, with a unit yield of 2.59 tons / ha (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
