INVESTIGADOR PRINCIPAL

Ingeniero Agrónomo, Magíster en Fruticultura y Doctor en Ciencias Silvoagropecuarias y Veterinarias de la Universidad de Chile. Sus líneas de investigación se centran en el mejoramiento genético de portainjertos de frutales de carozo, el estudio de la interacción portainjerto–injerto en relación con la tolerancia al déficit hídrico, evaluación de la eficiencia productiva de árboles frutales, fruticultura moderna y uso de nuevas tecnologías para la agricultura.
