La propuesta logró acercar las tecnologías disponibles para el manejo integrado de enfermedades y plagas a productores citrícolas familiares de Salto. Asimismo, el grupo de productores participantes del proyecto conoció la problemática del HLB que afecta a la región, a través de capacitaciones y giras al exterior.

Los días 13 y 14 de mayo se llevó a cabo el 10º Encuentro Nacional sobre Frutos Nativos organizado por Fagro (Udelar), la Dirección General Forestal del MGAP, INIA y Frunatur. La actividad contó con la participación de expositores de Argentina, Brasil,España y Uruguay, y de asistentes virtuales de distintos puntos geográficos de Latinoamérica que desde sus diferentes roles - estudiantes, investigadores, productores, nutricionistas, chefs, consumidores - dejaron de manifiesto el creciente interés por redescubrir el valor de nuestros frutos originarios.

Los cultivares de boniato del tipo "Criollo" o "Arapey" representan alrededor del 50% de la oferta en Uruguay. Se estima que alrededor del 40% de la producción nacional proviene de cultivos de ciclo corto, de 90 a 100 días, con trasplantes escalonados desde setiembre hasta enero y cosechas desde marzo hasta junio. Se propone un nuevo cultivar de tipo "Criollo" que contribuiría a mejorar la calidad y el rendimiento comercial en ciclos cortos tempranos y tardíos:'INIA Rubí 59' (W1359.11).

ABSTRACT - Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the main bacterial disease in potato. Solanum commersonii Dun. (cmm; 2n = 2x = 24, 1 EBN) is a native species to southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina with desirable traits for introgressive hybridisation breeding into cultivated potato such as resistance to R. solanacearum. In Uruguay, successful crosses between cmm and Solanum tuberosum Group Tuberosum (tbr; 2n = 4x = 48, 4 EBN) have been carried out with this objective, resulting in backcross 1, 2 and 3 progenies.

ABSTRACT - Aqueous pulp extracts of 8 mandarin cultivars produced in Uruguay, including four commercial lines and four of their crosslinks under development, were characterized through untargeted 1H NMR-based metabolomics. The spectral features identified through this approach proved the uniqueness of each mandarin metabolome.

ABSTRACT - A better understanding of the key characteristics influencing consumers' perception and purchase decisions of mandarins can contribute to the selection of new cultivars that assertively meet their needs and expectations, as well as to the development of strategies to increase mandarin consumption in the different markets. In this context, the aims of the present work were: i) to explore Uruguayan consumers' perception of mandarins, and ii) to identify the key characteristics that drive mandarin purchase decisions.

ABSTRACT - Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key process in hydrological systems and, consequently, in agroecosystems. It can be measured or derived with a large variety of models at scales ranging from leaf to catchment. MODIS16A2 is a satellite ET product with 500 meters / 8-day spatio-temporal resolution worldwide. It is based on the Penman-Monteith equation and considers the effect of vegetation dynamics, albedo and land cover.
