A place to go in Santiago I  don't like very much to live in Santiago because the ambient is so accelerated, sometimes you need to change the urban landscape and appreciate the different places here (: Near of my house there is a hill called "Cerro Renca"  the entry is always open, for many years this place was abandoned by the municipality, unfortunately the hill suffered of fires affecting flora and fauna, but since the change of the mayor of the municipality in Renca, many activities have been done to reforest and take care of our hill ❤  My niece always asked me to take her there, in September for the national holidays thare are a Fonda, is so fun go there because Renca is a small commune so you can find know people, friends and is so great 😁 I like also because many kids raise kites in the hill, is like a tradition that begins in July and ends until the wind allows to raise kites. You can climb the hill by the path and find "La cueva de don Emilio...
Mi favorite  subject: agricultural systems In this semester I have "agricultural systems" in this subject we study different  topics about plant physiology  ❤  modeling of systems, and some plant growth models, I like very much this subject because it was integrator of different subjects of my career and because I think that this subject the teacher had a different focus, there was a constant approach in the classes about the future of agronomy with the global warming,  the subject  was a  mixture about plant physiology, some of ecology and the relationship  with the environment, my favorite topic was the response of plants to water stress because not all plants have the same strategies to survive and is very interesting to know the diversity of mechanisms ❤ And my second favorite subject in this semester was "fundamentals of animal production" I don't  like the area of Animal production (I'm not vegetarian) but I like some topics of thi...
Career-related website: Agromet Checking to others  post I discovered that I was wrong with my previous post so please, ignore it 🤣 Well, I choose  the website Agromet (http://agromet.inia.cl/) I must to admite that I visit this website just  when I must to do some work in my class hihi, I like very much this website because you can get data from different places of regions of Chile, this website have the information about temperatures,  direction of the wind, relative humidity, precipitation,  solar radiation, etc, all this information  is captured in weather stations during all the time (24/7) also you can download the information in simple tables, in graphics, or excel. This data are very useful in agronomy, especially temperatures  and precipitation, temperatures allows you to estimate different processes  in plants like the flowering and maturity of the plants this helps to plan your crops for estimated planting dates and precipitation i...

A good application for an agronomist: Canopeo When I was in my second year of university, I have a course called "Crop fertilization" in this course the teacher presented us an application to use it in a semestral work, in this work we  had to evaluate the  effects of different fertilizer for the same vegetable (radish), so with this application we saw the leaf growth, you only have to stand up in front of the crop and take a picture from above it (always in the same height) you will see something similar to the photo, the application captures the green leaves and indicates you the percentage of leaf  coverage. This is a good application for an agronomist because you can follow the growth of your crops and compare different areas, but it has their flaws too because if are some herbs that don´t belong to your crop the application can´t distinguish between the herbs and your crop, so in this case, the application can indicate a higher percentage because is consideri...
Major in? I would like to take the major of agricultural production spicifically in plants physiology, in this area you can study and understand different metabolic processes, the reactons of plants to stress, etc. I would like to take the best pathway that help me to work in what I want, in the future the climatic conditions and natural resources will not be optimal for the production of food, I'm so interested to help to keep the food safety, with the plants that have the best adaptation in the condition of climate change it could be possible, even though is very difficult to imagine how  things will be in the future. Sometimes I think what to do about my studies, I would like to keep learning about the area that I like and to take the master in my faculty  because I think that it is the best that I can do and I really want to learn more, but it scares me sometimes because it could be very difficult and I'm a little anxious to work and achieve my personal goals :( so I...

M y travel If I could choose a place to travel, I choose Italy, because I love the food and pasta, I would like eat a real pasta 100% italian and learn about cousine, drinks and different foods preparations, besides like every country, the climate have a influence on vegetation very interestering and special. On other hand in Italia there are places full of history like the Rome Coliseum, it is a large amphitheater from the time of the Roman Empire, built in the first century in the center of the city of Rome and under the jurisdiction of the Vatican City, for its origin linked to Catholicism. It hosted shows such as venations (animal fights) or noxii (executions of prisoners by animals), as well as munera: gladiatorial fights. It was estimated that between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people died in these games and up to 50,000 spectators could participate in the bloody amusements with which the emperors courted to the people (so crazy).
