Fig. 2. Seed oil contents in soybean grain according to plantation date in four locations of the Argentinean crop region: (a) Reconquista, (b) Paraná, (c) Concepción del Uruguay, and (d) Marcos Juarez, see Table 2. Maturity groups IV (open circles) and maturity group VI (closed squares).

Fig. 3. Averages and standard errors for seed oil content in cultivars of maturity group II–III, IV, and V (black bars) versus cultivars belonging to maturity group VI, VII, and VIII–IX (gray bars) in five locations of the Argentinean crop region: Salta (SA), Manfredi (MA), Marcos Juárez (MJ), Paraná (PA), and Reconquista (RE). On the x axis is the historical average temperature (November to May) of each location.
