What do the main players in this area offer producers? » Field Bugs

On Thursday and Friday, the A Todo Trigo congress was held in Mar del Plata, the main meeting prior to the start of the cereal campaign. Practically all the seed companies dedicated to this strategic crop converged there, seeking to show producers their innovations and all the genetic development to obtain better yields or more quality.

The brand Don Mario emphasizes its number of tests and the statistical support that allows it to select its experimental materials and the management recommendations that arise from it.

Last season Don Mario Más completed a hundred trials, of which sixty of them are associated with the national team and the rest with different management lines. Genetics, planting date, density, fertilization and setting are the five keys. “Don Mario is constantly seeking to provide the producer with the best genetics with maximum yield accompanied by the best management practices,” said Enzo Cieri, Development Manager.

In turn, the Congress highlighted Neogene Seeds: the new commitment of Grupo Don Mario (GDM).

The Association of Argentine Cooperatives (ACA) highlighted its comprehensive proposal for the new varieties in seeds adapted to different cycles – they assure that they stand out for “excellent health profile and yield potential” -, which is added to its entire offer of fertilizers and phytosanitary products deployed in the network that they form with the 140 member cooperatives and their own Cooperative Development Center.

Marco Prenna, director of agricultural inputs and industries, commented that they continue to make strong investments in research and development: “We have our own Biotechnological Laboratory, to streamline and accelerate genetic improvement processes. This allows us to be in the top performance positions, both in official trials and in field results”

For its part, Illinois Seeds is highlighting the arrival to the producer that was achieved with the commercial agreement with YPF Agro, “increasing the closeness of the brand to the Argentine producer.” “Illinois will make a great leap in its sales, not only because of the performance of its products, but also because of YPF Agro’s professional network of comprehensive services,” said Agustín Pontacuarto, brand manager.

For the second consecutive year of wheat seed sales, Illinois “is positioned with a competitive portfolio in the market.” The offer is made up of three commercial varieties, of which the intermediate cycle IS Tero “stands out in terms of yield in the main testing networks in the country.” On the other hand, the IS Tordo and IS Hornero varieties “complement the range of products and offer the best yield option for the different planting dates,” they assured from Illinois.

Klein puts all its chips into its recent release: Selenio CL, is a non-GMO variety with genetic resistance to the imidazolinone group of herbicides, an alternative for weed control schemes during the winter and residues due to previous crops.

Klein’s Selenium has an Intermediate/Intermediate Long cycle, “very good yield, excellent commercial quality and Quality Group 2. Likewise, it exhibits excellent behavior against orange and black rust”, the company stated.

In the case of Nidera Semillashis workhorse is the more than twenty years “of learning developing the wheats that Argentine producers need”.

“Attentive listening and the effort to accompany them at each stage is not a peculiarity that modern Nidera Semillas wields, it is a way of working that is in our DNA, that marks our history and is clearly reflected in the cultivation of wheat. ”, assured Javier “Chiqui” Latorre, who is responsible for Product Development at the firm.

From those first Baguettes that arrived from France at the end of the 90s until today, 16 varieties have been launched. “One of the advantages at the heart of Nidera wheats is becoming more popular: the efficiency in the use of nitrogen,” said the company’s specialist. And he added that “a Baguette variety allows savings of 10% because of the way it converts each kilo of nitrogen into a ton of grain.”
