Forest Innovation: New Sauce clones drive the timber industry
A technological development based on genetic improvement allows to increase productivity, reduce harvest times and strengthen the sustainability of production in the Paraná Delta
The Delta del Paraná is the epicenter of the production of willows in Argentina, and in that scenario, where the willows dominate the landscape and support one of the main productive chains of the country, a technological advance marks a before and after. Seis new clones developed by the INTA, in alliance with the private sector, combine quality, versatility and a production potential greater than traditional materials. This innovation not only strengthens the forestry industry, but also opens the path to a more efficient and sustainable forestry. Sauce and its key role in the industry Sauce (Salix spp.) It is a fundamental species in the forest economy of the Delta del Paraná. Its wood, appreciated for its whiteness, density and fiber quality, is key to the manufacture of paper and packaging. For more than two decades, INTA develops improved clones with higher attributes in growth, health and quality of wood. Now, with the industrial validation of six new clones ?Carapachay INTA-CEEF, the INTA-CIEF stream Paper, but they exceed it in the growth rate and righteousness of the shaft. This translates into greater productivity and efficiency in the use of wood. Sauce (Salix spp.) It is a fundamental species in the forest economy of the Delta del Paraná.

Discover the country that planted 350 million trees in one day and caused great consequences Climate change and deforestation have caused great ecological damage in many places. For this reason, a country planted 350 million trees in one day and thus obtained a world record, although it is estimated that in 2025, it will plant twice as many.
