Global Maize Project in Argentina: Oro Verde, Entre Ríos
IPNI-2010-ARG-GM25
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
This long-term maize-wheat/double cropped-soybean field experiment was established in 2009 at Oro Verde, Entre Ríos, Argentina. Soil samples were collected during site establishment to characterize initial conditions, especially the soil carbon content throughout the soil profile. Treatments included current farmer practice (FP) and ecological intensification (EI) practices.
