Argentina Soil
The soils of Argentina vary greatly in fertility and suitability for agriculture,
and water is scarce in many areas outside the northeast and the humid
Pampas. The Pampas, which are largely made up of a fine sand, clay, and
silt almost wholly free from pebbles and rocks, are ideal for the cultivation
of cereal. In contrast, the gravelly soil of most of Patagonia, in southern
Argentina, is useless for growing crops. The natural grasslands of this
region are used primarily as pasture for sheep. Most of the northern Andean
foothill region is unsuitable for farming, but several oases favor fruit
culture. In part of the Chaco an unusually saline soil is believed to
be responsible for the abundance of the tannin-rich quebracho trees.
