Abstract

ZABALA, J. M et al. Forest, forage, beekeeping and landscape plant genetic resources native from Santa Fe province (Argentina). FAVE. Secc. Cienc. agrar. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.1, pp.99-131. ISSN 1666-7719.

Santa Fe has a significant number of native species with real or potential value for agricultural, industrial production and environmental protection. The first step in developing a strategy for efficient use of wild genetic resources is the listing of priority species to conserve. In this work, plants with herbaceous forage, forest, beekeepping and landscape interest are analyzed. Information on use is provided in each category and, for all species the geographical distribution by departments is analyzed and information about seed conservation is presented. Thus, 138 species were prioritized, 29 of which have more than one use (24 of forest interest, 45 of forage interest, 32 of beekeeping interest and 69 of landscape interest). The information presented will be useful in the design of strategies for the conservation and use of wild plant genetic resources by researchers and the government.
