| Most stargrass and bermudagrass species grown in Brazil were developed and evaluated in the United States. The cultivars grown in Brazil were not developed for Brazilian environmental conditions and there are no official records showing the introduction of the species in Brazil, thus this happened possibly due to the curiosity of some cattle farmers. The aim of the project was the development of stargrass and bermudagrass clones adapted to soil and climatic conditions of Minas Gerais State, Braz Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Among the existing grass as alternatives to pasture-based production, the genus Cynodon (stargrass and bermudagrass) has advantages such as high productivity and forage quality, responsiveness to fertilization, resistance to cattle trampling, adaptability to a wide range of soil and climate conditions, and good tolerance to waterlogging and low temperatures. These factors distinguish Cynodon from other grasses predominant in tropical conditions and justify considering such specie Status: Completed Start date: Sun Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The productive local set ups (APLs) of the Cupuacú tree represent how it is possible to develop agriculture with environmental and social responsibility. This is so because great part of the family farmers and small farmers set up their orchards in already deforested areas, in intercropping systems with temporary and permanent species, once the cupuaçú tree accepts moderate levels of shading. These orchard set ups try to emulate the forest environment, especially in the control of soil erosion a ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| This project's goal is to map the genes and/or QTLs responsible for Euchistus heros stinkbug resistance, which will contribute to the selection of resistant lineages in breeding programs, and to the decrease in grain damage and in the use of agrochemicals in soybean crops Status: Completed Start date: Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| This project aims to expand the supply of drought-tolerant cowpea cultivars with high protein content for farmers in Uganda, a country in the East of Africa. The development of the cultivars will result in materials specifically generated for semiarid conditions, with disease tolerance and market value Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |

| The increase in productivity in dairy farming will be essential to ensure increases in the production and supply of milk and milk products to meet the world's growing population. Appropriate technologies should be developed and adopted to enable increased productivity in a sustainable way, ensuring greater milk production with reduced number of animals and farming area. The efficient use of dietary nutrients is one of the premises of sustainable production systems, since their inefficient use no Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Pasture as an exclusive feeding source accounts for almost 90% of the beef consumed in Brazil and for most of the nearly 35 billion liters of milk produced annually in the country. It is estimated today that, in Brazil, grasses of the genus Brachiaria are cultivated in approximately 84 million hectares. In Brazil, the most cultivated species of Brachiaria are B. decumbens, B. brizantha, B. humidicola and B. ruziziensis. With the increasing agricult ...

| Pastures assume a prominent position in the Brazilian agricultural scenario, covering about three quarters of the cultivated area nationwide. In addition to the physical aspect, pastures are the main feeding source for the Brazilian herd. Pastures account for almost 90% of the beef consumed in Brazil and for most of the 21 billion liters of milk produced annually in the country. It is estimated today that in Brazil grasses of the genus Brachiaria are cultivated in approximately 84 millio Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Pastures assume a prominent position in the Brazilian agricultural scenario. The area occupied by forage plants accounts for three quarters of the national agricultural area. Pasture, as an exclusive food source, is the basis for nearly 90% of the beef consumed in Brazil and most of the milk produced in the country. It is estimated that, in Brazil, the grasses of the Brachiaria genus are cultivated in approximately 84 million hectares.
