Wheat yield variability in the S.E. of the Province of Buenos Aires

Even though advances in technology at the beginning of the fifties resulted in a significant tendency for increases in the yield of most cereals and oil seeds grown in the extensive rain-fed agricultural lands of the humid Pampa, inter-annual variability is still appreciable and there is a consensus...
