Technological characterization of Eucalyptus clones,
The Master's thesis has been completed and presented
The Master's thesis, developed by Eng. Ftal Martinez Matias, member of the EEA INTA Concordia forestry group, has been completed and presented. It bears the title of "Technological characterization of Eucalyptus clones, where the work consisted of evaluating the physical, mechanical properties and wood defects from hybrid clones, GC INTA 24 and GC INTA 27, which come from the crossing of E grandis x E. camaldulensis and pure clones of E. grandis, EG INTA 157 and EG INTA 36, comparing them with the seminal material of E. grandis, mostly planted in the region. On November 24 at the Faculty of Forest Sciences of the National University of Misiones, this research has been presented, to complete this stage of professional training and opt for the title of Magister in Forest Sciences. This type of study provides knowledge of the suitability of wood for different uses, industrial processes, and an integral use of them, generating products with greater added value.

They promote research in pine resins from the NEA
The forestry industry is one of the most important sectors in the economies of Misiones and Corrientes. Thousands of hectares of pine supply the paper, pulp, boards and sawmill industry. Pinus elliottii, one of the species established in the region, in addition to providing wood, is used to produce resin, a non-wood forest product with high demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In 2\024, resin extraction of approximately 52,6\0\0 tons was achieved from approximately 18,\0\0\0,\0\0\0 trees in production, generating income and jobs with high expansion potential.
