Evaluación de técnicas de plantación de Yerba Mate (Ilexparaguariensis S.H), cultivadas a campo en el municipio de Natalio, Paraguay

Abstract

This research was conducted in order to evaluate different planting techniques of yerba mate, aiming to develop a planting technology that allows greater survival of plants at field. The high mortality of plants at field level is one of the main problems that faces the producers, when installing a new crop of yerba mate. The plot installed in the campus of UNI in the district of Natalio remains as a pure cultive of yerba mate, to serve as study material for teachers and students of the institution. This research enabled students in thesis level, to conduct research in a relevant topic to the productive sector, being able to find a solution to problems that affect the producers with lower technical and economic capacities, that sees the yerba mate as a profitable alternative to generate income, which would result in a better life quality in the countryside.
