Weather BETTER MOISTURE CONDITIONS IN PAMPA HUMEDA The drought seems to be passing, but most of the damage is already done. In the main agricultural areas of Argentina, water stress conditions severely affected yields of corn in critical development stages. Soybean production was affected as well, though soybean yield reduction was not as prominent as it was in corn (national corn production was reduced by approximately 33 percent; soybean production was only reduced by about 16 percent).The plasticity of indeterminate soybean maturity groups (varieties that develop leaves and flowers simultaneously) enabled the plants to better adapt to different moisture conditions. First crop soybeans are just now drying up in the main soybean area w...
