INIA y Conaprole trabajan juntos en el análisis de la huella de carbono de los sistemas de producción lecheros y en la elaboración de una metodología para desarrollar estrategias para su reducción.
Los días 6 y 7 de marzo, se llevó a cabo en INIA La Estanzuela un simposio de riego, enfocado en las tecnologías de sensoramiento remoto como herramientas para un manejo eficiente del riego a nivel de cuencas y predial. El evento convocó a un centenar de profesionales, tomadores de decisión institucionales, estudiantes y productores para conocer avances en sistemas de gestión de agua para riego y experiencias de otros países en esta materia.
ABSTRACT.- Wheat blast, caused by the Pyricularia oryzae Triticum lineage (PoT), first emerged in Brazil and quickly spread to neighboring countries. Its recent appearance in Bangladesh and Zambia highlights a need to understand the disease's population biology and epidemiology so as to mitigate pandemic outbreaks. Current knowledge is mostly based on characterizations of Brazilian wheat blast isolates and comparison with isolates from non-wheat, endemic grasses.
ABSTRACT.- Rice is a crop that requires a large amount of water throughout its production cycle to ensure a good yield, resulting in higher water consumption compared to other crops. In Uruguay, about 160,000 ha/year are planted, requiring about 1,760 hm3/year of water, with a very high international average productivity of 9,000 kg/ha. Irrigation is generally carried out by surface/flooding, with water passing through dug channels where gates are used to regulate the flow, and in some cases measurement devices are installed.
ABSTRACT.- Furrow irrigation systems have been widely evaluated around the world. However, there is no national data indicating how efficient furrow irrigation is under Uruguayan conditions. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the performance of a system of furrow irrigation in two different soils texture. Seventeen irrigation events were analyzed in sugar-cane cultivation in northern Uruguay during 2016-17 and 2017-18 irrigation seasons. The water advance and recess curves were determined; flow rate during irrigation and runoff were monitored.
