Argentina Direct Seeding Adoption Drops to 80.6%, Down from 93% Peak

Aapresid survey shows direct seeding use in Argentina fell to 80.6% of surveyed area in 2025/26, down from 93% in 2017/18, with weeds and soil compaction driving a return to tillage. This marks a continued decline in a key conservation agriculture practice, potentially affecting soil health and input use. The trend is significant for agricultural sustainability and input markets, though the survey's scope and regional variation remain unspecified.
