Abstract

LACOSTE, Pablo et al. National Agriculture Society (SNA) and fruit-crops development in Chile, 1838-1933. Mundo agrar. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.26, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

Since its beginning in 1938, the National Agriculture Society (SNA) began publishing journals with agriculture-related topics. This generated a singular feature-length documentary from which those devoted to fruit growing are examined in this work. Three-hundred articles referred to plant's cultivation practices, diseases and pests infestations, fruit conservation, and the export business. North American and Argentinian, among others, references are mentioned in these articles. The SNA contributions to fruit-crops growing in Chile were significant, which became evident in the 1936 census

Keywords : National Agriculture Society; Fruit crops; Fruit historic geography.
