Abstract:
|
The paper presents a production function based on yield expectations from a sample of qualified informants of the Pampean region. The findings are in line with previous estimates of the marginal productivity of nitrogen and phosphorus, when these are main nutrients. The paper introduces for the first time variables related to weeds, insects and fungi control in a local production function. The discussion focuses on the consistency of the function with neoclassical assumptions about production functions.
