| This component project Is linked to the project "Simulation of Agricultural Future Scenarios from the Regional Climate Change Projections" and uses a transversal and complimentary approach to other component projects, developing economic analysis for current and future sceneries of grain, oilseed, root, fruit, forest and forage cultures. The economic impacts will be evaluated in sector levels, regarding the primary production of various cultures, and detecting the vulnerabilities and necessities ...

| 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 ...

| The cultures of castor oil plant, sunflower, cotton, orange, yuca and sugarcane have great importance in many regions of Brazil, and also represent a substantial part of the country's agricultural gross domestic product (GDP). They are cultures that, in most cases, occupy a considerable territorial extension with uniform surfaces, a fact which might cause them to suffer accentuated impacts of the global climate change, and subsequently cause ripple effects in food safety and other important sect Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Brazil is now a world reference in the area of animal breeding biotechnology, accounting for 25 to 30% of the total number of embryos transferred worldwide. Reproductive biotechnology is a key element in genetic breeding programs, but it is necessary to invest in the creation of a solid and well-built database that supports decision-making for national livestock.

| This component project uses a transversal approach and is responsible for the search and analysis of advanced information technologies (TIs), and their operation in order to perform more efficient simulations that deal with impacts caused by climate change in the country's agriculture. The project is linked to the project "Simulation of Agricultural Future Scenarios from the Regional Climate Change Projections" and will take a look at technology alternatives in a system of high performance paral ...

| This project's goal is to evaluate and quantify the impacts caused by global climate changes in Brazilian's most important economic cultures . For such a purpose, the input database of all the models of all the proposed projects will consist of projections or regional scenarios released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and serve as downscalings of the global climatic scenarios. These regional scenarios will define future agricultural scenarios based in mathematical models Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
