Overview

• BCR reports roughly 8.3 million hectares saturated after August averaged 193 mm across the GEA network versus a 30 mm norm, with local totals peaking at 344 mm in María Teresa.
• Field access constraints are delaying early maize planting by an estimated 5–10 days, and technicians say some area may be reprogrammed to late maize or switched to soybean.
• Impacts are uneven across the región núcleo, with faster drainage in western zones and the most severe anegamientos from Junín south between routes 7 and 5.
• Wheat condition remains largely strong — 25% rated excellent and 55% good — though about 3% is considered lost to root asphyxiation, with higher disease pressure and nitrogen losses discouraging refertilization.
• BCR forecasters expect a brief dry, cold window to open September with frosts, followed by a chance of midweek rainfall over the south and east of the core region.
