Abstract

CARDONA, G. et al. Methodology to determine operating times for the implantation of Prosopis alba in Santiago del Estero. Quebracho (Santiago del Estero) [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.2, pp.79-79. ISSN 0328-0543.

The need for estimating costs in the forest activities carried out in the Santiagueño Forest Programme (SFP) requires the prior availability of technical data concerning the operating times involved. The aim of this work is to describe the methodology used to calculate the times of both manual and mechanized tasks effectively performed within the SFP frame to achieve forest plantations. In order to define the study sample, six small producers who forested with white carob (Prosopis alba) in the irrigation area of Santiago del Estero were selected. Although scarce, the sampling units represent 40 % of the producers reached by the Programme during the 2017-2018 period and 34 % of the forested hectares. From this work it was possible to record how implantation tasks should be carried out and determine how their performance should be measured.

Keywords : Prosopis alba; times study; plantation work.
