| The goal of the project is to learn the capacity of the current production systems and of alternative technologies focused on carbon accumulation and sequestration in the soil and on reducing (direct or indirect) greenhouse gas - GHG - emissions. Such knowledge is essential for the investigation and foresight of future scenarios and for the planning of public policy to encourage the adoption of global warming mitigation practices. This project comprises the investigation and analysis of grain pr Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| Computation used as a tool by scientific research has revolutionized the biological sciences, as it has done with many other fields of science, and considering the exponentially increasing amount and complexity of the scientific data being generated and needing to be efficiently handled, translated, processed and communicated, new computational resources are needed for the effective treatment of all this volume of data that makes it possible to transform it into knowledge and subsequently, as th Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| There is currently a strong interest to comprehend, evaluate and minimize anthropic impacts on hydric resources. It has been particularly studied the effect of removing native vegetal covering over water availability and quality. In order to estimate the effects of changing vegetal covering over hydric resources, hydrologic modeling becomes an adequate tool. However, hydrologic models need great amounts of information, which in most times are unavailable. On the other hand, data obtained through Status: Completed Start date: Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| The recent expansion of sugarcane's culture by the mid-southern states of Brazil (Paraná, São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais - except the north, and Goiás), has been mostly happening on areas where degraded grasslands occur, characterized by eroded soils which are poor in nutrients, under distinct hydric regimes in regions of traditional sugarcane production. The incorporation of these flat topography areas enables mechanized harvesting and a more intensive soil use, with the eliminatio ...

| Yuca is a highlighted culture for the state of Pará, not only for its importance in the state's cuisine, but also for representing a source of income for thousands of agriculture producers. The culture can also give support to the state's agro-industry, by means of supplying raw materials used in the fabrication of many products. In order to be incremented in the state of Pará, the yuca culture needs to go through a genetic improvement program, in the hopes of obtaining material which is more ad ...

| Agricultural Sanitary problems don't obey frontier lines, especially when there is land continuity as is the case of the borderland strip between Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru. Embrapa Satellite Monitoring and the Department of Agricultural Defense of the Ministry of Agriculture have developed a system to help agricultural defense along the borderland strip, with the main goal to contribute to the eradication of the foot and mouth disease. Precise and up-to-date knowledge on spatial distrib Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Under the strong impact of the demand for energy and the need to develop alternative technologies to replace oil, the sugarcane industry is expanding and boosting interest in the assessment of both private and social costs and benefits in sugar and energy production. The importance of environmental issues in society has inserted this topic in the agenda of public and private planners through their concern with the preservation of water resources, soil fertility, and biodiversity, as well as with Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| In terms of product quality and respect for the environment, care for water resources involving agricultural activities is presented as an opportunity for the implementation of production systems suited to small farms, whether family-based producers or traditional communities as the quilombolas. The objective of this project was to monitor the quality of water from the involvement of local players assembling a critical mass capable of preserving and/or restoring water resources and participating Status: Completed Start date: Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| The project QUALIMICRO - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in Embrapa's Microbial Collections aims to implement the corporate quality requirements in 21 collections of microorganisms from 18 research units of the Company located in several Brazilian states. The Project will guarantee the quality in the management of these collections and make them able to meet the requirements of the national and international market.

| In the last century, the wide use of Guzerá breed in crossbreeding led to the expressive reduction of their effective population size, to worrying numbers. Due to its adaptation to diverse environmental conditions, its potential for dual-purpose production (i.e. meat and milk), and its risk of extinction, in 1991, this breed was included by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) in the list of genetic resources to be preserved. In view of this, and due to the demand for br ... Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
