The meeting will provide a framework for improving or creating networks for projects, information exchange and other collaborative activities. The program will include keynote speakers, topical sessions with invited and contributed oral presentations, workshops and poster sessions for all researchers, with an additional student poster competition. All presentations will serve as a basis for discussion and scientific exchange, with a primary aim of promoting collaboration among scientists, students and farmers.

Sample abstract: EVALUACIÓN DE LA EFICACIA DEL PRODUCTO BIOLOGICO BAFEX-N APLICADO EN POS COSECHA EN EL CONTROL DE NEMATODOS FITOPARÁSITOS EN VIDES (Assessment of the efficacy of the biological product BAFEX-N for the control of plant-parasitic nematodes in grapevines). E. Aballay 1, W. Hettich 2, E. Donoso 2 and W. Cisternas 2 1 Facultad de Ciencias Agronómicas, Universidad de Chile; eaballay@uchile.cl 2 Bio Insumos Nativa Spa. Varias bacterias del grupo Bacillus, han mostrado promisorios resultados en el control de nematodos fitoparásitos. En este estudio se evaluó la eficacia de control de un formulado de una mezcla de cepas de Bacillus cereus y Bacillus thuringiensis, sobre el control de Xiphinema index, en

5 uva vinífera, en un viñedo de Cv. Chardonnay, de 13 años, ubicado en el Valle de Casablanca, con sistema de riego tecnificado. Los tratamientos consistieron en un control, una referencia química en base a Cadusafos 15 l/ha de producto comercial, Bafex N en 5 y 3 kg/ha. Los tratamientos fueron inyectados al sistema de riego para su aplicación. La eficacia de los tratamientos se estableció en relación a las diferencias de los tamaños poblacionales pre y post tratamientos, a través de la metodología de Cobb Baermann, los porcentajes de control fueron calculados por la variación de las poblaciones a los 360 días post tratamientos y la relación con la dinámica de población del control. El diseño experimenta fue completamente al azas, con 5 repeticiones. Pese a que el ANOVA no presento diferencias significativas, el índice reproductivo (IR) en el tratamiento Bafex N a 5 kg fue 2.6, el IR de cadusafos 1.54, Bafex 3 kg N = 7.0 y en el control de 5.5. Es interesante que en ambos tratamientos biológicos, se observe un incremento en los priemeros 3 meses, seguido por una declinación constante de las poblaciones X. index, mientras que en el control, se presentó una acentuada declinación en los primeros tres meses, seguido de un incremento contante, esto muestra una interesante oportunidad de realizar programas integrados, donde el químico aporta con un efecto knock down y el biológico mantendría las poblaciones bajas en largo plazo.
