- Teachers share virtually
agricultural processes to students.
Salvatierra, Gto. January 25, 2021.- Teachers of the Higher Technological Institute of Salvatierra, ITESS, belonging to the educational system of the Secretariat of Education of Guanajuato, develop with the students a project of special crops in a demonstration plot of experimental field with 12 hectares of fertile land, in an agreement established with the company Parque industrial Entrada Group.
The 1,300 students of the institution and especially those who belong to the Sustainable Agricultural Innovation Engineering career are benefited by sharing with their professors in a virtual way the development that occurs in the crops of corn, chickpea, barley and soft wheat.
Teachers carry out field work and connect with their students in a virtual way to share with them the agricultural processes that range from seed and soil preparation, irrigation, fertilization, plant care to harvest.
As part of this productive project, the Heineken company installed a demonstration plot in the industrial park to develop special crops with the use of modern agricultural machinery, which allows the development of student practices.
The production project is directed by Jaime Melesio, Guadalupe Valdez Bustos and Ramón Medina Plaza who coordinate the development of the different stages of the demonstration plot that the Institute has. The work is carried out in compliance with the health protocols due to covid 19.
As soon as the conditions of the pandemic allow it, the presence of students in field work will be possible so that they can carry out their practices, projects and residencies.
