Dairy Cattle Farming represents one of the most important alternatives to migrating slash-and-burn agriculture in the Amazon, and lately, has been suffering a process of intensification. This activity has presented in the last years significant growth rates in the northern region, being thus one of the greatest in the country although it remains as the region with the smallest aggregate production. However, this evolution is predominantly a result of the increase in the dairy cattle herd and in

This project proposed analytical methods to use biophotonics applied to early diagnosis of Greening (HLB) - currently the worst citrus disease - with potential for large-scale application, when used in conjunction with precision agriculture techniques, to generate infestation maps for plant disease control. The percentage of error for each technique was evaluated through advanced statistical methods. The combination of techniques to increase the percentage of correct diagnoses was also evaluated

This project consistes in the development of the Uzum system for the diagnosis of diseases, pests and nutritional and physiological disorders in four temperate climate fruits: Grapes, Peaches, Strawberries and Apples. The software uses artificial intelligence to quickly diagnose possible disturbances occurring in the orchard, using a simple and direct interface. The knowledge base is generated from information and images provided by experts in each area. The system is being developed initially f

The tobacco production in southern Brazil is an activity of great economic and social relevance and is strongly linked to the context of family farming. Although this activity is recognized for its economic relevance, there are opportunities for the incorporation of knowledge and good agricultural practices (GAP) that contribute to increase the sustainability of the tobacco producing property. For this reason, efforts have been made in many producing countries in order to guarantee the well-b
