Diagnóstico de plantación de pino Caribe en Puerto Carreño Vichada: evaluación del estado actual y recomendaciones técnicas

Abstract

This report corresponds to the internship conducted at the Reforestadora DAGES S.A.S. company, whose objective was to diagnose the current state of a Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis plantation located in Puerto Carreño, Vichada. To this end, a stratified forest inventory was designed and implemented that included 255 circular plots of 0.1 ha each, distributed in the PERICUARA (PER) and PORVENIR-MORICHAL (PORMOR) sectors. Dasometric variables such as DBH, basal area, and volume were evaluated. The results showed a heterogeneous structural and productive condition, with average volumes of 32.64 m³/ha in PER and 56.84 m³/ha in PORMOR, the latter being more favorable. Deficiencies in silvicultural management and limiting site conditions were identified, which led to a delay in development. Based on the findings, sector-specific recommendations are proposed, focusing on thinning, fertilization, monitoring, and fire management, to improve plantation productivity and sustainability.
