Abstract

The present preprofessional work consisted in carrying out the accompaniment to a family producer of fine fruit from Mallín Ahogado to be able to identify the causes that influenced the low yields obtained in their plantations of raspberry and strawberry with respect to the averages of the region. For This was followed by a series of periodic visits from October 2015 to May 2016, where the different tasks carried out, states were monitored phenological and health, yields by species and variety, treatment Post-harvest of fruit and marketing channels. Measurements of the irrigation system for both sprinkling and dripping, determining the sheets issued for the same, losses of load in the distribution line, as well as the efficiency in operation. The results showed that the plantation sectors of raspberry and strawberry that are under drip system presented the lower yields, both due to the malfunction of the same for lack of a good filtering system as by the lack of frost protection that a system of spray can provide. This added to the delay in the cultural tasks that they have been happening throughout the seasons, they contributed to the low yields The data obtained throughout the accompaniment allowed establish that in order to improve and increase the yields it is necessary to redesign the irrigation system and adopt the spray for the entire plantation of raspberry, improve the filtering system for the proper functioning of the drip in the strawberry, replace the main distribution line by hose of greater diameter avoiding loss of load and optimizing the use of the pump.
