- Observation Prosopis tamarugo had complete mortality after six months.
- Observation P. juliflora had complete survival after four years.
- Observation Argentinean P. alba, P. chilensis, P. flexuosa and P. nigra provenances had high survival after 2.5 years.
- Observation Indian P. cineraria provenances had 20% to 44% survival.
- Observation P. nigra 333 was the most promising provenance for growth, survival, habit and small thorns.
- Observation P. pubescens and P. cineraria from outside Algarobia showed poorer survival.
- Observation P. tamarugo failed to survive in the 1993 trial.
- Observation P. juliflora and P. sp. Peru were most promising for biomass production.
