Soya bean yield variability in the Argentine Pampas in relation to synoptic weather types: Monitoring implications
This paper analyses the soya bean yield variability in the Argentine Pampas in relation to the atmospheric circulation patterns in southern South America. The region studied is the main soya bean production area in Argentina and contributes a high percentage to world trade in soya beans and their by...
