The EEA Manfredi, from INTA, in the province of Córdoba, the national entity that knows the best about alfalfa in Argentina, published the updated numbers for the 2021 sowing of batches of this forage for pasture (hay). The value per hectare is around $ 27,784 approximately. Although in each production area there are specific characteristics, and there may be differences with respect to Cuyo, it is important to have a technical reference figure. As for seeds, they are 18 kilograms, for a total of $ 12,000. Planting and spraying work corresponding to about $ 7,000. The mix of herbicides for initiation, pre- and post-emergence, added together is around $ 4,000. And the rest is completed by basic fertilization, or start-up, with the use of Triple Superphosphate.
For the people of San Juan, who in recent years have been dedicating themselves largely to cultivating alfalfa, a cost is useful to compare, and analyze in detail types of labor, expenses and differences.
