Abstract
Are classified different locations in Córdoba Province, into agronomically relevant homogeneous classes, with agroclimatic variables as relevant to dry-land agriculture. Agroclimatic attributes for 6 locations were acquired, assessing the interpretation of their meaning about agricultural systems, cropping patterns recommended, in relation to the climatic risk associated. The agroclimatic analogue technique is used in this aim. Results show a good agreement with the original methodology, though this region is not tropical. Three relevant homogeneous classes are detected, including the first, Villa Dolores, the second, Pilar, Río Cuarto and Laboulaye, and the third, Marcos Juárez and Villa María de Río Seco. The inclusion of thermic restrictions (freeze period), extending the scheme to temperate climates, modifies original method results at Laboulaye only. Delay suggested in the crop planting time must integrate both hydric and thermic risks.
