Prácticas para el manejo sustentable de los suelos

Prácticas para el manejo sustentable de los suelos

Los nuevos sistemas de labranza aumentaron el escurrimiento del agua y la compactación del suelo. Es por esto que un grupo de especialistas elaboró un informe que propone estrategias en la programación de los sistemas de producción. El estudio, que fue retomado por instituciones de otros países, incluye consideraciones sobre políticas agropecuarias orientadas al desarrollo de una estructura agraria donde se vincule a los propietarios de los recursos con los productores.

The Consequences of Clearing under the Science’s Magnifying Glass

The Consequences of Clearing under the Science’s Magnifying Glass

Researchers warn that, due to the impact of agricultural expansion, in just three decades the rising of groundwater in the east of Salta might cause floods, soil salinization and unproductive soils. The problem is already present in San Luis and affects other countries, such as Australia and the United States. The team of scientists seeks alternatives for soil management which, without stopping the current productive tendencies, neutralize the effects of salinization.

Biofuels: New Technologies and Social Commitment

Biofuels: New Technologies and Social Commitment

Two biodigestors, aimed at advancing in the research and development of technologies for rural families and industrial activities, were installed in the School of Agronomy. The studies carried out are oriented to enable rural families and schools to turn, using the biodigestor, their domestic waste into fuel for different uses and to get biogas for industries from effluents. Some of these technologies are exposed in Technopolis (Tecnópolis).

Identification of the Genome of Two Key Rhizobacteria in Argentinean Inoculants

Identification of the Genome of Two Key Rhizobacteria in Argentinean Inoculants

The genome of two of the most widely used rhizobacteria for the formulation of inoculants to treat extensive and intensive crops was sequenced by a team of researchers. This information might have a great impact on the compression of mechanisms which operate in the interaction plant-rhizobacteria and explain foundations of the success of these microorganisms as the most important active principles of biological products used in agriculture in the last 30 years in Argentina.

Wheat Fertilized with Feedlot

Wheat Fertilized with Feedlot

In order to improve the performance of crops and solve the environmental problem of intensive cattle productions, a study confirmed the possibility of replacing inorganic fertilization in extensive crops by the manure generated in bovine corrals. The results of the first treatment tests showed a performance 160% higher than control crops.

An Inoculant which Increases the Production of Sunflower

An Inoculant which Increases the Production of Sunflower

It is cheap, environment friendly and it has a great behavior in drought conditions and it doesn’t have substitutes in the world market of inoculants. The development consists in a concentrate of bacteria with specificity on the cultivation of sunflower and the first results of its application showed increments in the performance of grains per hectare of up to the 21.50%.

Alternatives to Get Beef Cattle through Sustainable and Efficient Management

Alternatives to Get Beef Cattle through Sustainable and Efficient Management

Research proposes the election of environments with higher potential, controlled shepherding and fertilization for the management of the Pampa’s pasturelands. The technique consists in carrying out very intense shepherding at the end of the summer and leaving the lots rest at the beginning of autumn to promote the growth of pasturelands in winter. Then, the cows are taken to that place when calving starts.

In 2020 Córdoba will produce more than 7 million Liters of Milk per Day

In 2020 Córdoba will produce more than 7 million Liters of Milk per Day

The data emerges from the research of a multidisciplinary team. Regarding the exportable remainder, they calculate that it would be of 378,251 tons and the income of currency of 2,712 million dollars for the same year. The study was carried out for the Strategic Participative and Federal Agro alimentary and Agro industrial Plan, by means of which they seek to define the orientation of this sector for the next years.

Barley Quality, an Aspect to be Considered

Barley Quality, an Aspect to be Considered

The exponential growth of the sowing surface and the opening of forage barley exports to new markets are changing the logics of a crop whose historical destination had been the production of beer. The requirements to achieve the maximum performance seem to be less than for wheat. Researchers developed a series of fertilizing experiments in the province which had an important impact on the crops.

Ecologic Management in La Rioja’s Olive Agrosystem

Ecologic Management in La Rioja’s Olive Agrosystem

Scientists of the Center of Research and Technological Innovation (CENIIT) develop a program of olive crop management by means of biological controllers. In this way, they pretend to reduce the use of insecticides to achieve an ecologic olive grove, with added value in the production. The research is oriented to protect and enrich local olive culture, one of the productive activities characteristics of the province.

Insects which Control Insects

Insects which Control Insects

Single crop farming generates loss of biodiversity, that is why the insects which adapt better are those which survive and turn into plagues. But plants defend themselves liberating odors which attract the enemies of those insects. These “natural enemies” can help to decrease the use of pesticides. In a website, researchers created a register to identify the ones which are beneficial for this region.

Better Performance in Earth Fertilized with Dairy Farm Waste

Better Performance in Earth Fertilized with Dairy Farm Waste

Researchers developed a system to use waste which otherwise constitute pollution points. By means of its application, they obtained more abundant harvest and more porous soils thanks to the irrigation of them with dairy effluents. Apart from mitigating pollution, the use of this waste permits lower cost fertilization.
