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

Velloziaceae are an angiosperm family that contains the most desiccation-tolerant species (approximately 200 out of 270 species). These species are distributed among five genera: Acanthochlamys, Xerophyta, Barbacenia, Barbaceniopsis and Vellozia. More than 80% of theVelloziaceae species occur in South America, where the greatest morphological diversity is also found. The genus Vellozia comprises both desiccation-tolerant and non-desiccation-tolerant species, offering an excellent model for study

This project proposed to develop a field densitometer based on the use of Compton scattering and visualization algorithms as innovative methods to non-invasively and non-destructively measure density and compaction in agricultural soils in the environment under analysis. For the methodological evaluation, the results were compared with classical soil analysis techniques .
