Evaluation of fruit species native and/or adapted to the Amazon region of Mato Grosso
Evaluation of fruit species native and/or adapted to the Amazon region of Mato Grosso
The opening of areas for agricultural exploitation in the northern region of Mato Grosso occurred intensely and without technologies for the preservation of native fruit species, and this, associated with the food habit brought by immigrants from the south and southeast regions, disfavors the knowledge and exploitation of native fruit species. and even adapted to the Mato Grosso Amazonian environment. The introduction of candidate plants for matrices of 07 fruit species with recognized commercial potential in the states of the northern region, and which have already gone through an initial stage of improvement, as well as the dissemination of propagation techniques for these species will facilitate the use of these species in commercial plantations ; in reforestation areas; and even to enrich the food supply for fauna-birds and in agroforestry systems.
