A report from the Rosario Stock Exchange warned him. Which areas were the most benefited by the rains.
The rains between March and June generated great expectations, since they were key to the start of the new campaign. At the end of autumn, the results were not as expected: in 60% of the region, the water reserves in the soil are not in adequate conditions.
The high temperatures in the first part of the cold semester and the uneven distribution of rainfall caused a selective improvement in soil moisture.
The area most favored by rainfall was the eastern half of the core region. There, in 35% of the area, the accumulations ranged from 150 to 280 millimeters. Only 5% exceeded the seasonal averages with more than 280 millimeters.
On the other hand, in the central-western region, the autumn rains were disappointing and were not able to reverse the condition of drought and water scarcity that still persists. In this sense, accumulated figures were necessary to reach the average or even exceed it in order to banish the three consecutive years of Niña and the drought that had become entrenched in regional soils. In the most compromised sectors, some 80 mm are still required, in the next fifteen days, to reach the optimal state of the reserves.
Today, all attention is focused on the rains that need 25% of the wheat area that remains to be planted, of the 1.1 million hectares projected. According to the consultant Alfredo Ellorriaga, June is expected to close with some moderate rains, within the usual for the cold semester. However, they will hardly cause significant changes to the current state of the profiles. It will be necessary to wait for the winter to advance and, with the strengthening of the El Niño phenomenon, the precipitations begin to show a more generous behavior, especially in the western areas, where planting is expected.
