Objetive

To increase biodiversity and improve soil health

El proyecto inició su camino en el 2018 cuando se plantó la primera parcela de flores junto con la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo Facultad de Ciencias agrarias y luego se sumó el INTA para realizar estudios de insectos lo que facilitó que en la misma parcela se incorporé también el CONICET para estudios de microorganismos (hormigas) y también con el IADIZA-CONICET para proyectos de investigación relacionados con la absorción de CO2.

Results

Implementación de la “Parcela de Flores” con 26 especies vegeta les. Mayor control de malezas, mejor infiltración del agua, aumento de la biodiversidad de insectos.

Terroir (Soil Texture)

Objetive

To know in depth our soils before and after planting

Results

Prior to planting, all uncultivated land was mapped using a technique called electroconductivity (I'll upload the technique), which allowed us to indirectly identify the different types of soil in each location. To verify and classify the soil types, more than 500 calicatas were carried out.

It was possible to design the parcelization of the farms.
The type of rootstock to be used was determined depending on the soil composition.
The type of irrigation was determined.
Determined which variety was most suitable for the different soil types. Information on the origin of the general and particular soils within the farm.
Understanding vine development in these soils.

Collaboration with Pedro Parra y Guillermo Corona.
