description The objective of this research was to identify alternatives for the agroecological management of shrub species in livestock agroecosystems in the northwest of Córdoba, Argentina. Participatory techniques were used to determine the dominance of shrubs, the importance of the impact attributed to them, the feasibility of conventional control treatments and the prefeasibility of the alternatives for their agroecological management. The most dominant species were Vachellia caven, Celtis chichape, Senegalia gilliesii, Vachellia astringens, Geoffroea decorticans and Larrea divaricata. Management, profitability, colonization and accessibility was the most important negative impacts for 'productive' actors, while protection, diversity and feeding was the most relevant positive impacts according to 'conservationists'. The feasibility of the control treatments ranged between 0.3 and 0.6, with higher values for rolling, harrowing and the combination of both. 83.3 % of the agro-ecological management alternatives obtained more than 50 % of the maximum possible value. The existence of multiples beneficial attributes in these species facilitates the implementation of management strategies and the productive use in agroforestal systems. The payment for environmental services, the pruning of the cup elevation, the rotational sequential grazing of cattle and goats, and the commercialization of the products derived from these plants, are the most promising alternatives.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar alternativas de manejo agroecológico de especies arbustivas en agroecosistemas ganaderos del noroeste de Córdoba, Argentina. Mediante técnicas participativas se determinó la dominancia de arbustivas, la importancia de los impactos atribuidos a ellas, la viabilidad de los tratamientos convencionales de control y la prefactibilidad de las alternativasde manejo agroecológico de estas. Vachellia caven, Celtis chichape, Senegalia gilliesii, Vachellia astringens, Geoffroea decorticans y Larrea divaricata fueron las especies más dominantes. El manejo, la rentabilidad, la colonización y la accesibilidad fueron los impactos negativos de mayor importancia para los actores “productivistas”, mientras que para los “conservacionistas” lo fueron en sentido positivo la protección, la diversidad y la alimentación. La viabilidad de los tratamientos de control osciló entre 0,3 y 0,6, con valores más altos para rolado, rastra y la combinación de ambos. El 83,3 % de las alternativas evaluadas obtuvo más del 50 % del valor máximo posible. La presencia de múltiples atributos beneficiosos en estas especies propicia la implementación de estrategias de manejo y uso productivo en sistemas agroforestales. El pago por servicios ambientales, la poda de elevación de copa, el pastoreo rotativo secuencial vacuno-caprino, y la comercialización de los productos derivados de estas plantas, son las alternativas más promisorias.
