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.

José Olinuck says goodbye to INTA after 47 years: a life dedicated to agrometeorology and the service of agricultural production
With an exemplary career of almost half a century, the agrometeorologist coach José Olinuck retires from INTA Cerro Azul leaving for the productive sector of the NEA an invaluable statistical work on temperatures, rains and other weather conditions, in addition to the consolidation of a network of agrometeorological stations. His silent, meticulous and constant work allowed himself to anticipate the weather and improve the decisions of thousands of producers. When in 1978 José Olinuk entered the INTA Cerro Azul as a coach to take care of the area of ??Agrometeorology, he surely did not imagine that his work would mark over fire the development of this discipline in the region. Today, a few days after his retirement, he reviews with emotion a whole life dedicated to observing the climate, collecting data, issuing newsletters and, above all, being a reliable source of information for producers, researchers, teachers and students.
