Permanent cover crop as a strategy to promote soil health and vineyard performance.
ABSTRACT.- Conventional viticulture involves a high use of inputs that negatively impact ecosystem services and biodiversity. Traditionally, vineyards are rainfed systems and vegetation is removed or sprayed with herbicides to avoid excessive competition for water and nutrients. Introducing cover crops can positively promote several ecosystem services and particularly soil and crop health and biodiversity.
Biological control of phytopathogens and insect pests in agriculture: an overview of 25 years of research in Uruguay.
ABSTRACT.- Plants grow associated with complex communities of organisms, and their development depends largely on management practices, available nutrients in the soil, environmental conditions, and the balanced equilibrium established among all these factors. In unbalanced environments, diseases, insects, and weeds can decrease agricultural productivity or even destroy crops.

Caracterización de ecotonos entre biomas de bosque y biomas abiertos en un área protegida en Uruguay.
RESUMEN.- La teoría de Estados Alternativos de Biomas (EAB) contribuye a explicar la presencia de biomas abiertos (pastizales, arbustales) en ambientes suficientemente cálidos y húmedos para el desarrollo de biomas de bosque. En estos ambientes se pueden encontrar áreas dominadas por biomas abiertos que, según esta teoría, responden principalmente al fuego y a la herbivoría.
Principales líneas de trabajo de INIA Uruguay, relacionadas al Proyecto FONTAGRO SAR y TICs. [Presentación 3].
La ponencia trató sobre la herramienta para el manejo del riego GESIR-INIA, una aplicación web para la gestión y planificación del riego, cuya finalidad es orientar sobre estrategias de riego en diferentes condiciones de trabajo y sistemas de producción.
Use of the VegSyst model to simulate seasonal dry matter production, N and K uptake and evapotranspiration in greenhouse soil-grown tomato in Uruguay.
ABSTRACT.- The VegSyst model, initially developed for nitrogen (N) and irrigation recommendations for greenhouse-grown vegetable crops in southeastern Spain, was calibrated and validated for greenhouse tomato cultivated in soil in Uruguay (South America) for autumn and spring growing seasons. Additionally, the performance of the recalibrated VegSyst model was compared to the calibration for tomato grown in Almeria greenhouses of VegSyst model V3.
A soft systems approach for innovation in the fruits and vegetables market in Uruguay. [Uma abordagem de sistemas flexíveis para a inovação na cadeia de frutas e hortaliças no Uruguai].
ABSTRACT.- "Systems thinking" approaches include some techniques and methods developed by social scientists to encourage debate, recognising that their practice is inevitably full of value and that research is a part of intervention. In general, systems theories explain the need to transcend disciplines to increase our understanding of a situation by considering different levels of impact, especially through visualisation tools.
Avaliação de genótipos de morangueiro quanto à qualidade e potencial de armazenamento. [Evaluation of strawberry genotypes on the quality and storage potential].
RESUMO.- O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade de cultivares e clones de morangos e o seu potencial de armazenamento sob refrigeração. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições de aproximadamente 150g. Os tratamentos consistiram na avaliação de três cultivares e quatro clones, sendo eles:LBH 15.1.Arazá, SGH 140.3. Guenoa, LBF 236.3 Yvapitá, LBG 121.4, LBK 16.1, LBK 35.1 e LBK 28.1. As avaliações foram realizadas na colheita e dez dias após o armazenamento a -0,5ºC, mais dois dias em temperatura de 20ºC.
