The Platonia insignis tree possesses the singular trait of sprouting through the roots. At Oriental Amazon, in older areas where Platonia insignis bushes occur naturally one may notice the sprouting of this arboreal species, in ways that resemble weeds.

Pineapple is explored in Brazil in approximately 60,000 hectares, with the predominance of smallholdings, in which more than 80% of the properties have less than 10 hectares. The pineapple is the fifth largest produced fruit in the country, having thus great social importance in generating rural jobs and income, having the Northern and Northeastern regions as the most important ones. This project's main goal is to introduce, in the state of Pará, the system of Integrated Production Management (M ...

This project aims to evaluate the productive potential of explored forest areas after one cutting cycle (30 years) and propose a forestry management system for the second cutting cycle in the Amazon. Technological ability and floristic variety of arboreal species will also be evaluated, in areas previously submitted to forest exploration 30 years ago (Tapajós National Forest). This project, headed by Oriental Amazon Embrapa in partnership with Federal Rural University of the Amazon, aims to deve ...
