Predicting on-farm soybean yields in the pampas using CROPGRO-soybean

Soybean is the main rainfed crop in a wide range of latitudes and sowing dates of the Argentine Pampas. It is sown alone or as a second crop after other winter and summer crops. Modelling approaches have proved to be helpful in the decision making process. The on-farm evaluation of CROPGRO is rather difficult since input data are scarce and frequently of worse quality than those from experimental works. Moreover, CROPGRO simulation of water...
