| The Brazilian fruit farmer needs new product options which have a commercial appeal in order to maintain themselves in the market. Blueberries and blackberries are a part of these options, they are increasingly awakening the interest of producers due to their nutraceutic properties and usage possibilities. These species can present great production in small areas. Temperate Climate Embrapa has launched the Tupy blackberry cultivar, which is the most used but has thorny stems, hindering the plant Status: Completed Start date: Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| Grapevine production is widespread areas with distinct climate conditions throughout the world. Adaptation to local environmental conditions results from evolutionary processes leading to functional and structural changes to maximize plant performance. Plant adaptation consists in a complex network of environmental sensing and interpretation processes coupled with endogenous environmental mechanisms to control development and generate the phenotypic plasticity required adapt growth and developme Status: Completed Start date: Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| The cultures of castor oil plant, sunflower, cotton, orange, yuca and sugarcane have great importance in many regions of Brazil, and also represent a substantial part of the country's agricultural gross domestic product (GDP). They are cultures that, in most cases, occupy a considerable territorial extension with uniform surfaces, a fact which might cause them to suffer accentuated impacts of the global climate change, and subsequently cause ripple effects in food safety and other important sect Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| This project's goal is to evaluate and quantify the impacts caused by global climate changes in Brazilian's most important economic cultures . For such a purpose, the input database of all the models of all the proposed projects will consist of projections or regional scenarios released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and serve as downscalings of the global climatic scenarios. These regional scenarios will define future agricultural scenarios based in mathematical models Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| The state of Pará is the largest northern producer of rice, corn and caupi beans, and the second largest soy producer. These species are cultivated in all the macro-regions of the state, where the Research and Technology Transfer Support Centers (NAPTs) of the Oriental Amazon are located. Based on this structure, this project aims to propose a strategy for the disclosure and transference of cultivars that are adequate to the region's producers' socio-economic and environmental conditions, throug ...

| Peppers of the Capsicum genus are cultivated in every Brazilian state, especially in Goiás, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Ceará, Bahia, and Sergipe states, having a total estimated area of 5,000 hectares and a production of about 75,000 tons per year. The cultivation of peppers and bell peppers in Brazil has a strong family base and social importance since this activity is carried out predominantly by smallholder farmers and it is the main source of income for such families. Despite chili pepper bein ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The cultivation of winter forage crops such as Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum) and velvet grass ( Holcus lanatus) is of extreme importance for increasing the productivity and efficiency of livestock production in the South Region and part of the Southeast Region of Brazil. However, there are few cultivars for use by farmers. The problem focused in this project is the lack of improved cultivars of temperate forage grasses, productive and adapted to the Brazilian conditions. T ...

| Develop and or recommend banana and plantain cultivars with resistance to the main pests (nematodes or rhizome borer) and diseases (black Sigatoka or yellow Sigatoka or Panama desease), and with agronomic and sensory characteristics aligned with the main demands of Brazilian fruit agribusiness. The strategy uses conventional breeding via crosses, adding advanced biology tools, focusing on reducing time and increasing the efficiency of selection of promising genotypes in the progenies, aiming at Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| The manual harvest of pepper fruits is difficult mostly due to the plants' low heights and the fruit's pungency, which causes irritation and burns the hands of harvesters. Such aspects partly explain the scarcity of labor for the pepper harvest. In addition, in the Brazilian and international market there are no jalapeño cultivars developed for mechanized harvesting. Therefore, this project aims at the development of new jalapeño cultivars adapted to mechanized harvest - with suitable plant arch ...

Brazil annually consumes 10.5 million tons of wheat, half of which is produced in the country, which entails an approximate outlay of 800 million dollars in wheat imports. The high cost of production and the difficulties in the obtention of cultivars with technological qualities that meet market requirements are among the main limiting factors for the Brazilian wheat production chain. Out of all the cultivars available from all Brazilian breeders, about two thirds were created from germplasm ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
