Cultivo de Nothofagus alpina "raulí" en condiciones de invernadero a partir de semillas procedentes de bosque natural.

Abstract

The internship was carried out within the framework of a Research Commission Agreement between the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) and the National University of Río Negro. It was developed at the Bariloche Agricultural Experimental Station (EEA) of the Argentine Institute of Agricultural Technology, which focuses on research and extension. The Bariloche EEA has an area of influence that encompasses the province of Neuquén and part of the province of Río Negro, characterized primarily by arid and semi-arid ecosystems that have shaped extensive production systems focused primarily on goat and, to a lesser extent, cattle farming. The unit is divided into four groups: Ecophysiology, Insect Ecology, Silviculture and Ecological Genetics, and Forest Improvement. The initial lines of research of the Ecological Genetics and Forest Improvement group (1993) focused on the native species of raulí and corrillera cypress. Currently, we work with seeds from identified forests and trees, ensuring their traceability throughout the production process. In addition, this sector aims to train the various actors in the production chain and generate new technologies and management methods to disseminate in the region's nurseries.
