| This research project aims to obtain information about wood harvesting, energy supply and carbon credit market using five both native and exotic forest species in experimental homogeneous and mixed plantation systems in the counties in Pará. Furthermore, as additional information, activities that open up new guidelines regarding fertilization, dissemination and phytosanitary aspects of the species in question will be carried out throughout eight actions plans. The species of interest are: paricá ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |

| Low productivity of pastures in Brazil is the main cause of poor profitability and competitiveness of animal production systems in relation to other agricultural systems. The objective of the project was to generate technologies in intensive system of livestock grazing using Tanzania grass ( Panicum maximum), Marandu palisadegrass ( Brachiaria brizantha) and Star grass ( Cynodon nlemfuensis) to improve forage production and quality and milk production. To this end, evaluatio ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Forage crops of the genus Brachiaria are the most important for feeding the herd in dairy farming systems in the tropics. B. ruziziensis is recognized as having the best nutritional value but is less productive than other Brachiaria species besides being susceptible to feeding damage caused by spittlebug, thus limiting its use by dairy farmers. The breeding program of B. ruziziensis, carried out by Embrapa in partnership with other institutions, has selected an improved g Status: Completed Start date: Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| In Brazil, milk production is practiced by more than one million farmers, mostly smallholders, who have in pastures and swards for green chop the most important sources for cattle feeding. Dairy agribusiness plays a significant role in food supply for the domestic market, in the generation of jobs and income for the population and in recent years has also become increasingly important in the Country’s export line. The intensification of animal production systems demands the use of forage species Status: Completed Start date: Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| A crescente demanda de água para fins industriais e residenciais, geração de energia, mineração, lazer, somados aos problemas ambientais, faz com que quantidade de água para a agricultura apresente uma tendência de redução. A agricultura é o maior usuário de água em todo o mundo. O setor agrícola brasileiro é o principal usuário consuntivo dos recursos hídricos. Uma provável solução para esse problema é aperfeiçoar como a água é manejada, o que envolve a adoção de tecnologias e procedimentos ade ...
