| Pineapple is explored in Brazil in approximately 60,000 hectares, with the predominance of smallholdings, in which more than 80% of the properties have less than 10 hectares. The pineapple is the fifth largest produced fruit in the country, having thus great social importance in generating rural jobs and income, having the Northern and Northeastern regions as the most important ones. This project's main goal is to introduce, in the state of Pará, the system of Integrated Production Management (M ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |

| Brazil is a tropical country with an extensive territorial area and vast plant diversity. This makes the weed species that infest the crops be widely varied. Such characteristics differentiate Brazil from other countries with temperate climates. GM crops that are resistant to herbicides, especially to glyphosate, have created a new scenario for weed control in Brazilian agriculture. Farmers have adopted RR technology right away as efficiency and cost are its main benefits. The use of glyphosate Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The tomato is one of the most cultivated vegetables in the world, and is the target of countless plant health problems. Embrapa Vegetables has historically produced research in plant health within this production chain under the scope of the Tomato Genetic Improvement Project. However, the increasing demand for studies aimed at perfecting pest diagnosis methods and generating essential information for management has signaled the need to create a specific plant health project. Thus, this project Status: Completed Start date: Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is the world's second largest crop and Brazil has taken second place in wheat production in South America. However, productivity in this crop can be limited due to occurrence of some diseases, one of which, wheat blast, caused by the Magnaporthe grisea fungus, has caused large productivity losses that can reach 72% depending on the time of infection. With the expansion of wheat crops to other Brazilian regions such as the Midwest, the fungus has been settling in and Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Evaluate the influence of the following production systems: soybean/off-season cotton, soybean/off-season maize, and cotton-off-season maize over the intra and inter-population genetic variability, need to control, and insecticide resistance levels of brown stink bug Euschistus heros.

| The Innovation Network in Animal Reproduction adds skills among the different teams that work in the area of animal breeding biotechnology at Embrapa with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of animal production chains in Brazil. Among the objectives, the following stand out: creation of new technological platforms in this area, transfer of technologies generated by the component projects and consolidation of Embrapa as a reference institution for the formation of public policies related Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| 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 ...

| The Platonia insignis tree possesses the singular trait of sprouting through the roots. At Oriental Amazon, in older areas where Platonia insignis bushes occur naturally one may notice the sprouting of this arboreal species, in ways that resemble weeds. Many farmers replant these spontaneous sprouts, with sufficient spacing in between them, then adequately trim their crowns and care for the new sprouts, allowing the formation of new bushes and thus helping to restore degraded are Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
