Construction commenced on the 155MW LaHiguera hydro project in August 2005, and plans are well underway to build another power plant, La Confluencia, upstream to generate the remainder of the energy.
LaHiguera will be a run-of-river hydro power station, meaning the natural flow of the river will be used to create the renewable energy, and the local geography won’t be changed dramatically by the operation of the power station.
LaHiguera recently received registration under the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), and in doing so became the largest hydro project, and the first in Chile, to be registered.
Las podas ligeras o nulas favorecen la producción de brevas de junio-julio, pero perjudica la cosecha de higos de otoño, pues hay una cierta incompatibilidad entre ambas producciones.
La misma consiste en cortar un 40-50% del sarmiento que lleva los brotes estaminíferos y conservar los 3-4 brotes basales, así como aquellos brotes deseables que aparezcan en los cordones; ambos admiten un recorte de 4-5 yemas.
El momento oportuno para la poda es a principios de septiembre; antes del inicio de la floración, ya que de realizarse en la época en que se practica a otras especies puede dar lugar a la caída prematura del fruto, por las pérdidas de reservas que provoca.
