During the meeting, a field tour will be carried out where the evolution of the agricultural system of the establishment and the productive decisions implemented to adapt to salinity conditions will be analyzed. In this framework, the technicians of the host company will present the strategies applied to face this problem, the changes introduced in the management of the system and the results achieved in terms of productivity and profitability.

The proposal “seeks to show a real production experience that allows, in the face of the challenge of salinization, to identify strategies to sustain production systems and that producers and technicians in the region can evaluate alternatives and adapt them to their establishments,” said Natalia Ovando, director of Agriculture, to the Provincial News Agency.

The initiative is part of the actions promoted by the Directorate of Agriculture to strengthen technical support in the territory, promoting the exchange of knowledge between producers, professionals, academic institutions and organizations linked to the agricultural sector, the APN said.
