Maiz: La materia orgánica y el agua definen el potencial de rendimiento

Resumen del corpus

A study by INTA and Aapresid confirmed that soil organic matter and water availability are the primary determinants of corn yield potential in the NEA region. The content of organic matter directly impacts yield, with each percentage point increase translating to approximately 1,200 kg more corn per hectare. Other factors influencing production include nitrogen availability, planting date, and genotype, which together can increase production by about 20%. Managing these factors appropriately is crucial for maximizing productivity.
