| This is a Co-financed Project (Edictal CAPES/Embrapa n° 15/2014), conducted with the partnership between the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel) - Capão do Leão Campus, the leader institution, and Embrapa Trigo, the partner. Its main objective is the training of human resources (master, doctorate, and postdoctorate) to act on the cereal science and technological area, through the wheat technological quality evaluation as for structural, functional and technological characteristics, promoting k ...

| 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 |
| Whitefly is currently one of the main pests in Brazil. The insect causes direct damages (sap suction, toxin injection, and physiological disorders) and indirect damages (helping sooty mold grow and transmitting phytopathogenic viruses). Reports of damages started right after its entrance in the country, the likely source of which has been traced to an import of ornamental plants in the 1990s. After this introduction, the insect became very well adapted to Brazilian cropping conditions and spread Status: Completed Start date: Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

Embrapa and Campinas’ City Hall (Prefeitura Municipal de Campinas) produced the School Atlas for the Metropolitan Region of Campinas using data and information on agricultural activities and their importance for the transformation of the region’s landscape. After the Atlas was published, the partnership continued in a new project with the aim of encouraging its use by teachers and students within the Campinas’ public school network. Prefeitura Municipal de Campinas created Programa ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The Experiment Stations of Embrapa Dairy Cattle have a strategic infrastructure for conducting research projects and experiments with direct and practical application of results. Keep livestock (young and adult animals) and infrastructure in the production systems in permanent operation require significant investment in terms of labour and financial funds. In the experiment stations, many factors or variables related to milk production are controlled in order to increase the accuracy of results Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The Cerrado is the second largest Brazilian biome and is considered one of the main biodiversity reserves on the planet that need to be conserved. For a rational and sustainable exploitation of this natural wealth, it is necessary to get to know it beforehand. A possible approach, from the point of view of the elaboration of products from Cerrado plants, is the use of aromatic species to obtain essential oils and extracts for application in the perfume and cosmetic industries. The main goal of t Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The aim of this research is to determine the forage yield, quality and physiology of a Panicum spp. cv. Massai pasture in response to two grazing intensitiesand three irrigation depths. In Tocantins State, the difference between the average monthly minimum and maximum temperature reaches more than 16ºC, evenso, the lowest base temperature observed does not compromise the development of tropical forages. More than 93% of rainfall occurs between October andApril. This way, between May and Septembe ... Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The characterization of alternative poultry production systems and its value chain is going to allow the identification of potential threats that affect the survival and productivity of fowl populations and provide opportunities for interventions in such systems.

| The overall objective of this project was to strengthen Brazil’s green economy by harmonizing economic development and environmental conservation through sustainable agriculture that does not harm the environment, using soil and plant biomass management in organic production systems as a starting point. Unlike many agricultural production systems, organic agriculture offers a range of practices and techniques that potentially contribute to increase sustainability, including soil and plant biomas Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |

Umbu (Spondias tuberosa) and wild passion fruit (Passiflora cincinnata) are native fruits that stand out in the Caatinga biome. These species are consumed as part of dietary habits of the population from the Brazilian Semiarid at the same time that some of them are in endangered risk due to ongoing deforestation and environmental imbalance. Agroindustrialization is an alternative to add value to agricultural production and to complement crops management actions. This project aim ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
