The Global Maize project at Argentina. The Global Maize project includes two field locations at Argentina: Oro Verde (Entre Rios) in the northern Pampas, and Balcarce (Buenos Aires) at the southern Pampas. At both locations, a long-term field experiment has been established on the 2009-10 growing season. The crop rotation is maize-wheat/double cropped soybean, with both crop phases occurring each year.

Interpretive Summary
A long-term field experiment was first established at Balcarce, Buenos Aires, Argentina in the 2009/10 growing season under a maize-wheat/double cropped-soybean rotation, with both crop phases occurring each year. The treatments included current Farmer Practice (FP) and Ecological Intensification (EI) practice. Treatments differed by cultivar, planting date, pest and weed control, and nutrient management practice.

The treatments included current Farmer Practice (FP) and Ecological Intensification (EI) practice. For the treatments, they differed by cultivar, planting date, pest and weed control, and nutrient management practice.

A long-term field experiment was established at Balcarce, Buenos Aires, Argentina in the 2009-10 growing season. The crop rotation was maize-wheat/double cropped-soybean, with both crop phases occurring each year. Soil samples were collected during site establishment to characterize the initial conditions, especially the carbon content in the entire soil profile. Treatments included current farmer practice (FP) and Ecological Intensification (EI) practice.
