| This project aims to perform the soil and weather zoning potential for corn, sorgum, sugar cane and pineapple in the area under the influence of the Canal das Vertentesl, in the to 1:50.000 scale, searching for the rational use of the natural resources and the agricultural development of the region with sustainability criteria. In 2019 the project was extended, with new areas under influence of the east axis of the transposition of the waters of the São Francisco River, this will be the second p ...

Eucalyptus production at the Paraíba do Sul river basin, in the Southern region of Brazil, is becoming an alternative for smallholders and medium farmers which aim to provide raw materials to paper and cellulose-industry companies. The land use and land cover pattern at the Vale do Paraíba region is undergoing changes, and the eucalyptus silviculture occupies an ever-increasing space over other agro-ecosystems, especially over pastures. GeoVale proposes a technical and scientific assessment o ...Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The Red Sindhi breed is an important genetic resource to be preserved and used in tropical conditions. Some studies have shown small effective population size and high coefficient of inbreeding. These aspects show increased risks of loss of genetic diversity, impairing possible genetic gains to be achieved with selection, and even increasing the risk of future extinction of the breed. The following partner institutions worked on the project: Embrapa Dairy Cattle, Embrapa Tropical Semi-Arid, Emep Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| The availability of water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural use is of fundamental importance to the social and economic development of the arid and semi-arid regions. In the Brazilian semi-arid region, agricultural exploration is becoming more and more dependent on irrigation. Unfortunately, with the increase of irrigated areas, associated with the inadequate management of soil and water, the progressive increase of soil salinisation levels has been observed. In addition, the population Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Recent evidence from observational studies and controlled clinical trials indicates that milk fat, although predominantly saturated, has neutral or positive effects on cardiometabolic health. Such benefits have been attributed to the complex and unique chemical nature of milk fat, which contains several compounds potentially beneficial to health, such as butyric acid (C4:0), vaccenic acid ( trans-11 C18:1), rumenic acid ( cis--9, trans-11 CLA), oleic acid ( cis-9 C18 ...
