Famaillá, Tucumán – Researchers from INTA Famaillá actively participated in the I National Meeting of Ecophysiology and Agroecosystems, a unique event co-organized by INTA’s National Program of Ecophysiology and Agroecosystems and the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the National University of Córdoba. The meeting, which drew attendees from across Argentina and Uruguay, focused on critical themes for agricultural advancement.
the event received support from a diverse range of public and private entities, including Conicet, Crea, and Aapresid. Discussions centered on ecophysiology’s role in crop management and genetic improvement, production and landscape systems, simulation models, remote sensing, precision agriculture, and agricultural education.
INTA Famaillá provided important support for its researchers’ involvement, showcasing work addressing regional challenges with innovative methodologies. Key research presented included studies on ecosystem service crops – specifically Vicia Villosa within sugarcane systems – productive diversification through cassava cultivation, precision agriculture techniques for sugarcane fertilization, mineralizable nitrogen dynamics in Tucumán soils, and the use of NDVI atmospheric analysis to understand corn performance variations.
Researchers Luciana Martínez Classina, Julio Víctor Sáez, and Gustavo Martos were among those representing INTA Famaillá at the meeting.
These contributions demonstrate INTA’s dedication to generating applied scientific knowledge to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of agro-productive systems in the Northwest Argentine (NOA) region.
Posters detailing the research are available for download.
