| The silvopastoral systems are a viable option to avoid degradation of pastures due to their potential to control erosion and the ability of some tree species to add nitrogen and other nutrients to the pasture, improving soil fertility. However, an important aspect in these systems refers to the competition for light between the tree/shrub and herbaceous components. Tiller production and the consequent density of inflorescences, directly related to seed production and, therefore, to natural resee Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| The state of Pará is slowly adopting practices to modify altered areas by means of reforestation, and the agriculture producers have been requesting seeds and seedlings in order to apply Agro-forest Systems. However, a great obstacle to this program has been the lack of knowledge about seed germination technologies and seedling production, on a commercial scale and with quality standards. To address these deficiencies, this project aims to research native species with potential use in these syst ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is the world's second largest crop and Brazil has taken second place in wheat production in South America. However, productivity in this crop can be limited due to occurrence of some diseases, one of which, wheat blast, caused by the Magnaporthe grisea fungus, has caused large productivity losses that can reach 72% depending on the time of infection. With the expansion of wheat crops to other Brazilian regions such as the Midwest, the fungus has been settling in and Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
