Argentina soy planting seen climbing as corn crop faces dry weather, plague
Adds detail about impact to corn crop
BUENOS AIRES, Sept 11 (Reuters) -Argentine farmers are seen opting for more soy this season as corn planting has been hit by dry weather and fears of disease carried by the leafhopper insect, the Rosario grains exchange said on Wednesday.
The 2024/25 soy planting area is seen at 17.7 million hectares, up 7.5% from the previous season, according to the exchange.
That would put the soy harvest between 52 million and 53 millionmetric tons, the reportestimated.
Meanwhile, the 2024/25season's corn planting area is seen taking a hit as farmers need to plant early to avoid the spiroplasma bacteria carried by pesky leafhoppers, which stunts the crop.
However, "September rains are not coming," the exchange said, and some farmers are"forcing" the planting, with the central growing region's soil at sub-optimal moisture conditions.
"Because of that, there will be more reliance on the rains from here on out."
The corn area in the 2024/25 season could be 21% lower than the previous season at 8 million hectares, according to the exchange, bringing the harvest between 51 million and 52 million tons.
