The ‘Science at the Fair’ initiative arrives in La Pobra on June 11 to spread the word about mycorrhizae and micrografting

The scientific dissemination project Science at the Fair will arrive in A Pobra do Brollón on Tuesday, June 11, coinciding with the first fair of the month. The stand will be on Avenida de Galicia from 12:00.  

The historical usefulness of grafts for fruit production in trees and the concept of microrhiza and its function will be explained in a simple way. In addition, an in vitro micrograft of chestnut will be developed using a hybrid resistant to the ink disease that affects this tree.

Science at the Fair is an intergenerational and community project for the informal dissemination of science organized by XuvenCiencia, an interdisciplinary group of teaching innovation that includes teachers from all the faculties and schools of the USC Lugo Campus.
