Sial","doi":"10.31285/agro.26.799","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31285/agro.26.799","url":null,"abstract":"The Chuy Formation is characterized by up to 135 m of an alternation of green pelites and fine to coarse sandstones with sparse invertebrate fossils. The marine deposits are interbedded with continental, loessic deposits of the Libertad Formation and overlain by the Dolores Formation, made up of mudstones with calcareous concretions. The results of the radiocarbon dating showed calibrated ages of 13.9±0.2, 41.5±1.9 and 50±3 ka BP on bioclasts of marine fossils at an elevation (above sea level, asl) of -2.8, -6.13 and -8 m respectively. Such ages and elevations are in disagreement with the sea-level evolution inferred for the Late Pleistocene. Two possible explanations are: (a) the ages represent minimum ages and deposition took place during the last interglacial at 115-130 ka (Marine Isotope Stage MIS 5e), or (b) they represent depositional ages but the area experimented large isostatic readjustments during and after the last glaciation. Several lines of evidence suggest a Late Pleistocene age for the upper Chuy Formation, including the d18O curve obtained from invertebrate shells, which shows large secular variations consistent with MIS 1 to 7. The proposed scenario envisages significant subsidence between 50-20 ka due to the far-field effects of glacial load in the Andes/Patagonia. At 20 ka the eustatic regression outpaced subsidence, leading to continentalization of the Laguna de Rocha area. Marine conditions returned at 15 ka and into the Holocene, except for continental deposits (Dolores Formation) at ca. 11-10 ka (Younger Dryas). An uplift of 115 m took place between 15 and 9 ka in the area, which is interpreted as post-glacial rebound. In the Holocene, moderate subsidence was further recorded. A regional trend is observed, with uplift of marine deposits increasing towards the W-SW, which is consistent with an explanation as post-glacial isostatic rebound.","PeriodicalId":43474,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia-Uruguay","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89387547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is essential to analyze its evolution in time and space from the baseline, for the management and protection of the resource. Vulnerability was determined by applying the GOD and EKv methods, obtaining similar results, with areas of high and moderate vulnerability in most of the studied area. The risk of groundwater contamination was determined using the method of Foster & Hirata(34), obtaining high risk for potentially polluting loads from lack of sanitation, solid household waste, irregular settlements, and gas stations, in areas of moderate and high vulnerability. Industrial and mining activity and a cemetery represent a moderate risk in most cases. Having maps of vulnerability and risk of groundwater contamination is essential to identify the most vulnerable areas and implement detailed study, control, and protection tools aimed at conserving and mitigating impacts on GAS.","PeriodicalId":43474,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia-Uruguay","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87767892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results obtained show SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 as the principal oxides, and in a smaller proportion, they are followed by CaO, MgO Na2O, TiO2, K2O and P2O5. The most noticeable differences are in the content of minor and trace elements such as Mn, Cr, As, Cd, Ba, Sr, V, Pb, Ti, Zn and Zr, possibly due to geochemical differences between streams. This study should be addressed in more detail in future works. In addition, the potential use of Los Catalanes Formation as an agromineral source and the development of the stonemeal technique in Uruguay are discussed. The possibility of using alternative inputs brings two productive activities, such as mining and agriculture, into dialogue, contributing to the sustainable development thereof.","PeriodicalId":43474,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia-Uruguay","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82504178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Partiendo de una base geológica, se realizaron tres calicatas profundas, que se clasificaron según una nueva propuesta de saprolitos. Se realizaron análisis químicos y físicos de los perfiles, descripciones macroscópicas de las raíces in situ y observaciones microscópicas (lupa, microscopia electrónica y cortes anatómicos) de raíces, saprolitos y rocas. El desarrollo radicular profundo fue corroborado, mostrando variadas y adaptadas raíces que alcanzan hasta las rocas, observándose indicios de comportamientos radiculares diferentes según las diferentes partes del perfil (suelo, saprolita o roca). Finalmente se discute cómo enfocar el estudio a futuro del sistema radicular profundo de E. grandis., la caracterización del saprolito y la roca en función de este cultivo, y los posibles efectos en el manejo productivo y en el ambiente.","PeriodicalId":43474,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia-Uruguay","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89582707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given its slow and difficult propagation in natural environments, propagation in plant nurseries appears as an interesting strategy to preserve this endangered species. Therefore, in this study we employed a wide range of temperatures (i.e. from -25°C to -196°C) to store seeds of B. virgilioides in the short-term, and evaluated its efficiency by assessing seed germination rate, speed index, time and synchrony, as well as seedling growth and quality. Germination percentage was only slightly negatively affected by storage time (up to 32 weeks) at 25°C. Despite that, after 32 weeks of storage, all storage temperatures resulted in similar seed germination parameters and seedling growth and quality. Overall, our results highlight that the seeds of this species can be stored in the short-term at a wide range of temperatures, facilitating large-scale propagation in plant nurseries.","PeriodicalId":43474,"journal":{"name":"Agrociencia-Uruguay","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81227872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hypothesis was that the performance of post-weaning lambs grazing Paspalum notatum (PN) INIA Sepé supplemented with an energy-protein diet (whole sorghum grain [SG], and soybean meal [SM]) is not reduced by the inclusion of 40% S-DDGS. During 82 days, in summer, 42 Merino Dohne male lambs (130 ± 7.6 days of age, 32 ± 2.4 kg of body weight [BW], and 2.2 ± 0.2 body condition score [BCS]) were evaluated, in a completely random experimental design with three treatments and two replicates each (n = 14 each one). All lambs grazed PN INIA Sepé and in two treatments they were daily supplemented (1.7% BW) with different components. The treatments were: PN (control group, no supplementation), SGSM (70% SG, 30% SM) and DDGS (45% SG, 40% S-DDGS, and 15% SM).
