# Wheat: harvest covers 6.7% as disease pressure grows · ArgenFields

> Argentina's wheat harvest reached 6.7% of the suitable area, with 59% of standing paddocks yet to enter grain filling, according to the Bolsa de Cereales de Buenos Aires. Fusarium has appeared in the core wheat region, and foliar diseases are advancing in barley under humid, low-sunlight conditions requiring continued fungicide use. Cold weather is also delaying corn emergence and soybean planting.

## Why it matters

Fusarium and barley disease pressure plus cold-delayed summer planting add modest supply risk for Argentine crops, which supports wheat and barley prices and firms feed grain sentiment while planting progress remains behind.
