La Pampa: Ministry of Production announced a day on pastures in Embajador Martini

Production invited to participate in the field day ‘Pastures: strategies to recover saline lowlands and gain weight in meat’, which will take place on next Wednesday, October 15, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, at the Agricultural Cooperative Hall of Embajador Martini located at the corner of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Route 2.

The meeting, organized by the Ministry and sponsored by Gentos S.A., the Agricultural Cooperative of Embajador Martini Ltd., the CIALP (Center of Agricultural Engineers of La Pampa), and the Municipality of Embajador Martini, will feature a presentation by Eric Scherger, a specialist in pasture and forage management.

The event proposes an comprehensive view on the recovery of saline environments and the use of adapted pastures as a tool to improve livestock productivity and the sustainability of mixed systems. During the activity, criteria for establishment, management, and selection of forage species will be addressed, with a special focus on field experiences and results obtained in different environments of the La Pampa.

The Directorate of Agriculture highlighted that these types of spaces allow for the transfer of technical knowledge and support producers in decision-making, in a context where the efficiency of land use and the improvement of forage resources are key to the competitiveness of the sector. Director Natalia Ovando highlighted to the Provincial News Agency (APN) that the recovery of saline lowlands “not only improves the forage base but also contributes to the environmental and economic sustainability of the establishments.”

The activity will be free and open to the public, and is part of the schedule of technical days that the productive department promotes together with local institutions to strengthen training and innovation in La Pampa’s territory.
