  • Ministerio De Obras Públicas Región Del Maule
    MINISTERIO DE OBRAS PÚBLICAS REGIÓN DEL MAULE 1) SALUDOS Ministro de Obras Públicas El desarrollo de obras públicas, no cabe duda, trae consigo enormes beneficios para el progreso de los países, pues una buena infraestructura pública, mejora la conectividad y aumenta el acceso a recursos hídricos que permiten potenciar la actividad productiva y alcanzar el bienestar de la población. Con ese foco -y cumpliendo la misión y objetivos estratégicos que lo rigen-, el Ministerio de Obras Públicas ejecutó durante el año 2019 un billón 761 mil millones de pesos en diversas obras y funciones, que incluye entre otras cosas la administración de 85.000 kilómetros de red vial a lo largo y ancho del país, la construcción de 2.464 kilómetros de caminos básicos y de comunidades indígenas; la ejecución de 7 hospitales entre los que se encuentran el de Alto Hospicio, Curicó y Quillota-Petorca, y el llamado a licitación de 3 hospitales de la Red Maule; el inicio de construcción de los aeropuertos de Iquique y Puerto Montt, el llamado a licitación de 3 terminales aéreos más y la entrega parcial del nuevo aeropuerto AMB; el inicio de la construcción del Embalse Las Palmas, que tendrá un volumen de 55 millones de metros cúbicos; además de avances en el Puente Chacao y cientos de otras obras a lo largo del país. Lo más significativo de todos estos grandes proyectos, más allá de su envergadura o su inversión, es que se traducen en mejoras reales en la calidad de vida de las familias chilenas, entregan oportunidades y son un factor de equidad territorial.

  • Crecimiento Inicial De Pinus Canariensis En El Secano De La VII Región Del Maule, Chile
    BOSQUE 27(3): 258-262, 2006 CrecimientoBOSQUE 27(3): inicial 258-262, de Pinus2006 canariensis NOTAS Crecimiento inicial de Pinus canariensis en el secano de la VII Región del Maule, Chile Initial growth of Pinus canariensis on dry lands in Maule’s VII Region, Chile Claudio Rodríguez Figueroa1*, Juan Carlos Bobadilla Bustos1 *Autor de correspondencia: 1 Universidad Católica del Maule, casilla 617, Talca, Chile, [email protected] SUMMARY This study evaluated the survival and growth of seedling of Pinus canariensis, two years and a half of age in experimental plots in three localities of the dry land of the Maule's Region, Chile: San Javier, Chanco and Constitución. Seedlings were propagated with seeds obtained three local sources: Llico, Chanco and Talca. The experimental design was random blocks. The results indicated that there are no significant statistical differences (P <0.05) among each sources of the three local seed provenance, which may lead to the conclusion that all of them belong to the same population. The best results were obtained in San Javier, characteristic locality of the inner dry land with an 88.7% of survival and 18 mm and 96 cm of collar diameter and height of stem, respectively, in spite of unfavorable conditions of site. Results could be better if more intensive techniques of establishment are applied and variables that control the fertility of the soil are handled in more extensive trials of provenance. Key words: Pinus, growth, dry land, forest diversification. RESUMEN En este estudio se evaluó la sobrevivencia y el crecimiento de plantas de Pinus canariensis de dos años y medio de edad, en parcelas experimentales establecidas en tres localidades del secano de la VII Región del Maule, Chile: San Javier, Chanco y Constitución.
