Abstract
Collective hadronic behaviour, like string fusion or percolation of string, in spits of producing a rise of the inelasticity of the collision give ris e to an increasing of the average shower depth of maximun in the atmosphere cascade. The consequences of this fact for cosmic rays in the energy range 10(16) to 10(19) ev are discussed.
