Soybean grain protein and oil differences between Argentine cropping areas: an on-farn sampling approach

Abstract

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is the most important crop in Argentina. It grows in different types of environments along the national area, considering an ample latitudinal range (-21°S to -55°) and different crop management. Argentinian soybean quality parameters: protein (% db), oil (% db) and PROFAT (sum of protein and oil % db) was previously studied in regional or partial approaches. The aim of this study was to explore differences between environments and soybean quality along the country.
