| Embrapa invests in the conservation of native strains of microorganisms, which can be used by the scientific community in several research programs, ranging from diagnosis, treatment of diseases and production of vaccines for human and animal application to reducing the environmental impact of Productive processes and the generation of renewable energy. In this perspective, microbial cultures are being continuously studied for the formation of a database of "active" components and their respecti ...

| The project QUALIMICRO - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in Embrapa's Microbial Collections aims to implement the corporate quality requirements in 21 collections of microorganisms from 18 research units of the Company located in several Brazilian states. The Project will guarantee the quality in the management of these collections and make them able to meet the requirements of the national and international market.

The banana tree is cultivated from north to south of the country and the main cultivars used are susceptible to pests, with low productivity and some are very tall. The project aims to continue the banana breeding program underway since 1983 and aims to create and agronomically evaluate banana genotypes; assess resistance / tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; develop basic studies aimed at generating knowledge for pest control in support of the breeding program; use tissue culture techn ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Historically, the agricultural activities in the northeast of Pará have been concentrated in the hands of small farmers and family-based workforce, who dedicate themselves almost exclusively to subsistence farming with focus on yuca (Manihot esculenta), corn and caupi-beans (Vigna Unguiculata) as crops with most significant socio-economic expression. This practice is done with little or no use of agricultural supplies, such as lime and fertilizers, leading the region's lands, which already have ...

| The changes in climate behavior will probably bring changes to the hydrological cycle. As a result, these variations will probably affect crop development, crop production, and water consumption. Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |

| The recent expansion of sugarcane's culture by the mid-southern states of Brazil (Paraná, São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais - except the north, and Goiás), has been mostly happening on areas where degraded grasslands occur, characterized by eroded soils which are poor in nutrients, under distinct hydric regimes in regions of traditional sugarcane production. The incorporation of these flat topography areas enables mechanized harvesting and a more intensive soil use, with the eliminatio ...

| Many are the Brazilian regions which cultivate stone fruits (peaches, plums and nectarines), such as the surrounding areas of Pelotas - RS, the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre - RS, the Serra Gaúcha, the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná and São Paulo, passing by the south of Minas Gerais and Campos das Vertentes (Caldas, Poços de Caldas and Barbacena), the colder regions of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo and, recently, in regions of higher altitude in the state of Bahia. In addition to th ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
