Silvopastoral Systems in the Delta Region of Argentina

摘要: The increase in cultivated area worldwide has brought about a change land-use pattern. In the temperate-wet regions, silvopastoral systems (SPS) that integrate afforestation using deciduous species with cattle raising create diversified systems, which demand management practices to capitalise on beneficial effects and minimise negative impact environment. activity Salicaceae plantations region of Delta Parana River Argentina raised challenge developing technologies for forest-forage system leads sustainable this kind acquired knowledge SPS establishment aimed at producing quality wood Populus sp. Salix sawn wood, veneers, crushed pulp energy, foliage as feed. use bare (unrooted) pole cuttings 1, 2, or 3 years age planting material, instead cuttings, necessitates wide spacing nursery (1 × 1 m 1,2 m). This should reduce time between field trees letting into without causing damage during first second plantation establishment. wider (5 5 6 m) allows dense, productive understory consisting native recognized nutritive value well shade-tolerant exotic such Dactylis glomerata carrying capacity. These techniques, optimise productivity, ensure proper balance components.
