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.

The event occurs in a context of growing concern about the fragility of the environmental control system in rural and border areas, where the scarcity of resources, personnel and logistics limits the capacity of surveillance against criminal organizations organized to steal native woods and market them on the black market in connivance with sawmill owners.
