This week from RASA we attended the postgraduate course "Salinization of irrigated areas", taught by Dr. Nildo Da Silva, Vice Dean of the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido -UFERSA- Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
We are grateful for the enormous generosity of Nildo, to provide us with all the available information on the salinization processes of irrigated areas, use of brackish water, plant affectations, methodologies to minimize saline impacts on plants, use and cultivation of halophytes and an endless number of very important chemical and agronomic concepts, information that we will apply in the continuous improvement of our biosaline farm.
We also thank Drs. Magalí Marcos and Nelda Olivera (CCT CONICET-CENPAT) for the organization and for giving us the possibility to access this valuable training.
