The Environmental Risk Assessment (ARA) of pesticides, under the responsibility of Ibama, is part of the procedure for registering a pesticide in Brazil. The main objective of this project was to compare the worst-case scenario adopted by Ibama for the ARA of pesticides in water bodies, with the most representative scenarios of soybean cultivation prevalent in Brazil. A methodology was developed to map water basins with potential for contamination by pesticides used in agriculture. Through it ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
In the context of planning, managing and generating territorial knowledge, Geoprocessing plays a fundamental role in supporting strategic decision making through the treatment of georeferenced information, which is the object of interest in public and private institutions and organizations. The structure of databases provided by the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is configured as a cartographic information generator to support the various productive chains of the agricultural sector, leadi Status: Completed Start date: Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
Bananas are one of Brazil's main agricultural products, having great economical significance. With a production reaching over five million tons annually, the fruit is a source of food for millions of people around the world. However, the plantations have been facing diseases and plagues which reduce the productive cycle once the local farmers are oblivious to certain agricultural practices. In the Amazon, the need to increase the crops is hindered by the lack of quality genetic strains for disse Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
Soy is one of the main commodities in national agricultural production, with Brazil being the world's largest producer, with a production of 135.4 million tons, productivity 3,517 kg/ha. With a planted area of 38.5 million hectares, it is still the world's largest exporter of the grain. Among the main producing states, Mato Grosso stands out as the largest Brazilian producer of soy, with production of 35.9 million tons, planted area of 10,374,861 hectares and productivity of 3492 kg/ha.

Selection for desirable phenotypes has been practiced in cattle since their domestication approximately 10,000 years ago. This process, alongside breed development and genetic improvement programs, has led to the vast diversity of cattle breeds known today. Traditional breeding methods, grounded in quantitative theory, have facilitated continuous genetic gains in most economically important traits. However, until recently, selection has been conducted without knowledge of the specific genes infl Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
Selection for desirable bovine phenotypes has been practiced since the domestication of cattle, which occurred approximately 10,000 years ago. This process of domestication has brought about a marked change in behavioral and morphological characteristics in the subspecies and, together with the development of breeds and genetic breeding programs, has given rise to the enormous variety of patterns and racial types known today. Since then, traditional breeding tools, based on quantitative theory, Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
The banana tree is cultivated from north to south of the country and the main cultivars used are susceptible to pests, with low productivity and some are very tall. The project aims to continue the banana breeding program underway since 1983 and aims to create and agronomically evaluate banana genotypes; assess resistance / tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; develop basic studies aimed at generating knowledge for pest control in support of the breeding program; use tissue culture techn ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
The pest aphids Sipha flava and Rhopalosiphum padi have caused significant injuries in elephantgrass and brachiaria swards, respectively. Thus, the objective of this project was to evaluate the bioecology of these pest insects and the predator Chrysoperla externa. The biological aspects of the pests were studied at 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32ºC. Temperatures of 20ºC and 24ºC were more favorable for insect development, and this temperature range is the most appropriate for t ...

This proposal seeks to facilitate technological solutions for competitive cattle farming, making rational use of the environment and regional resources while preserving the flora and fauna of the Cerrado, the Amazon and the Pantanal. The cattle industry plays a significant social and economic role, generating over 6 million jobs and contributing over $ 3 billion to the country's exports. The Cerrado is currently the leading region for livestock and at this moment there is an opportunity to estab Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
The Brangus-Ibagé and Canchim breeds are important options in beef cattle breeding systems. Developed in Brazil on government farms that are now Embrapa research units (Pecuária Sul and Pecuária Sudeste), these units house the original herds used to characterize animals and provide superior genetic material. The production sector demands improvements in specific areas, including tick and endoparasite resistance, temperament, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, efficient use of inputs (food and wat ...
