Gualeguay (Entre Ríos);
Ceres and Cañada Rosquín (Santa Fe) and Metán (in the province of Salta).
The focus of the conference will be on the
crops of the coarse harvest
.
“We will have four trial protocols on the cultivation of corn, with all the genetics of Semillas Illinois, which YPF Agro distributes exclusively,” introduces Santamaría.
Trials on the Illinois corn portfolio will have three nitrogen levels and four planting densities, ranging from 35,000 to 110,000 plants per hectare.
YPF Agro will show technology and services in seeds, nutrition, crop protection and energy solutions.
In addition, a new hybrid of 122 days
of relative maturity can be seen
, with Trecepta technology, outstanding stability and performance potential.
“It is a material that is adapted to all corn-growing regions, recommended for all types of environments, both in early and late planting dates, in Córdoba, Santa Fe, La Pampa, Entre Ríos, Buenos Aires, NOA and NEA,” he summarized. Manuel Lemos, head of seeds at YPF Agro.
In addition, there will be information from previous campaigns, added to
new protocols with evaluations of nutrients
such as zinc and potassium, which have been showing responses in a large part of the Argentine agricultural region.
On this occasion, the company will present a
new nitrogen source
coated with sulfur, which also has low volatility.
The Conference will be held this year in ten locations in five provinces.
For their part, the Illinois soybean plots, with GDM genetics, will allow evaluating the responses to the addition of the Y-TERRA Biological foliar enhancer.
It is a
new product that is incorporated into the
company's line of biologicals, which seeks to promote the plant defense system, mitigate phytotoxicity and improve crop performance.
The soybean materials that were planted throughout the country include the
latest biotechnologies
present in Argentina, such as Enlist ™ and Conquesta ™.
In addition, at the Conecta conference you will be able to see a new project that seeks to explore the development of non-food crops for advanced biofuels.
“So far we have more than 10,000 yield data between different crops, treatments, repetitions and locations.
With this new campaign - concludes Santamaría - we seek to continue deepening valuable technical information to accompany the producer in their decisions."
