On April 30th, INTA's technical expert for the Seda Project, Engineer Francisco Pescio, gave a free Webinar entitled "How to spread mulberry trees?" on spreading through seeds, cuttings and planting density.

Having knowledge about the cultivation of mulberry trees is of vital importance for the sericulture producers of the region; it is one of the critical inputs as the silkworms have a diet that consists exclusively of fresh mulberry leaves.

The event was held through the virtual meeting rooms of the Institute of Agriculture and caught the interest of more than 70 participants from Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador and Mexico. The training is available in a series of 4 videos at  link.
