| 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 |
| The cultivation of winter forage crops such as Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum) and velvet grass ( Holcus lanatus) is of extreme importance for increasing the productivity and efficiency of livestock production in the South Region and part of the Southeast Region of Brazil. However, there are few cultivars for use by farmers. The problem focused in this project is the lack of improved cultivars of temperate forage grasses, productive and adapted to the Brazilian conditions. T ...

| The aim of this project was to strengthen the SUSTRURAL array - a set of Embrapa projects related to environmental rehabilitation and compliance in the rural landscape of the Atlantic Rainforest in Southern and Southeastern Brazil - based on deeper integration and training of component members.

| Cotton cropping in Peru is a thousand-year-old activity that goes back to ancient civilizations that developed in that region. Cotton has historically been an important source of resources for the Peruvian population and supplied raw material for the textile industry. They cultivate the long or extra-long fiber species Gossipium hirsutum and G. barbadense. National cotton production has been declining in recent years, with major social impact, as this crop is predominantly cultivated by family f Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The objective of this project is to develop tools and contents for mobile devices, aiming to improve the accessibility of technical content for farmers / workers and support the action of extensionists, promoting innovation in the milk production chain. For this work, the level of literacy, skills and resources available to farmers and extension workers are considered, so that they have access to and can understand the information and technological knowledge, allowing their individual and profes Status: Completed Start date: Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| Brazil is a tropical country with an extensive territorial area and vast plant diversity. This makes the weed species that infest the crops be widely varied. Such characteristics differentiate Brazil from other countries with temperate climates. GM crops that are resistant to herbicides, especially to glyphosate, have created a new scenario for weed control in Brazilian agriculture. Farmers have adopted RR technology right away as efficiency and cost are its main benefits. The use of glyphosate Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |

| The project aimed to quantify carbon stocks and assess the impact of human activity on changes in carbon stocks in the Amazon Forest. In that region, in response to the potential climatic effects of deforestation, policy makers have paved the way for policy changes that drive emission reductions by reducing deforestation and forest degradation and the improvement of forest carbon stocks. The project was part of the “Sustainable Landscapes” program of technical cooperation from USAID and the U.S. Status: Completed Start date: Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| The spittlebug, Mahanarva spectabilis, causes two types of injury to forage crops. The nymphs constantly suck the sap, causing the whole plant to yellow. The other type of damage is caused by the adult spittlebug, which feeds on shoot, leaves and sprouts, causing a phytotoxic response that varies among grass species used in pastures. Given the impact of this insect on forage crops, it is important to understand how global changes may influence its ecology and thus assess whether future i ...
