| The Network on Nanotechnology applied to Agribusiness was implemented in 2006 and has already completed two cycles as a Network Project. The new cycle intends to advance in the existing knowledge and actions, contributing to the understanding of the processes of upscaling the production of nanoproducts, thus meeting the need to evaluate, quantify and estimate the ability to produce nanomaterials that have been successfully produced in lab activities, whose processes need to be adequately planned Status: Completed Start date: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Peppers of the Capsicum genus are cultivated in every Brazilian state, especially in Goiás, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Ceará, Bahia, and Sergipe states, having a total estimated area of 5,000 hectares and a production of about 75,000 tons per year. The cultivation of peppers and bell peppers in Brazil has a strong family base and social importance since this activity is carried out predominantly by smallholder farmers and it is the main source of income for such families. Despite chili pepper bein ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The state of Pará is the largest northern producer of rice, corn and caupi beans, and the second largest soy producer. These species are cultivated in all the macro-regions of the state, where the Research and Technology Transfer Support Centers (NAPTs) of the Oriental Amazon are located. Based on this structure, this project aims to propose a strategy for the disclosure and transference of cultivars that are adequate to the region's producers' socio-economic and environmental conditions, throug ...

| The manual harvest of pepper fruits is difficult mostly due to the plants' low heights and the fruit's pungency, which causes irritation and burns the hands of harvesters. Such aspects partly explain the scarcity of labor for the pepper harvest. In addition, in the Brazilian and international market there are no jalapeño cultivars developed for mechanized harvesting. Therefore, this project aims at the development of new jalapeño cultivars adapted to mechanized harvest - with suitable plant arch ...

| The cultivation of winter forage crops such as Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multiflorum) and velvet grass ( Holcus lanatus) is of extreme importance for increasing the productivity and efficiency of livestock production in the South Region and part of the Southeast Region of Brazil. However, there are few cultivars for use by farmers. The problem focused in this project is the lack of improved cultivars of temperate forage grasses, productive and adapted to the Brazilian conditions. T ...

| Develop and or recommend banana and plantain cultivars with resistance to the main pests (nematodes or rhizome borer) and diseases (black Sigatoka or yellow Sigatoka or Panama desease), and with agronomic and sensory characteristics aligned with the main demands of Brazilian fruit agribusiness. The strategy uses conventional breeding via crosses, adding advanced biology tools, focusing on reducing time and increasing the efficiency of selection of promising genotypes in the progenies, aiming at Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
| The objective is jointly validate new banana and plantain cultivars; as well as to adapt management practices aimed at mitigating the effects of the presence of Fusarium wilt or Panama disease in banana production areas in the regions of Lassance, Nova Porteirinha, Capitão Enéias, Jaíba and Verdelândia located in the north of the State of Minas Gerais.

Brazil annually consumes 10.5 million tons of wheat, half of which is produced in the country, which entails an approximate outlay of 800 million dollars in wheat imports. The high cost of production and the difficulties in the obtention of cultivars with technological qualities that meet market requirements are among the main limiting factors for the Brazilian wheat production chain. Out of all the cultivars available from all Brazilian breeders, about two thirds were created from germplasm ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| In Brazil, milk production is practiced by more than one million farmers, mostly smallholders, who have the most important sources of feed for the herd in pasture and forage grass cropping for cut-and-carry. One of the major demands of farmers is on improved forage cultivars for cutting and grazing that can meet the nutritional needs of herds throughout the year. Elephantgrass, in addition to its superior performance in the establishment of cut-and-carry plantations (i.e. green chopped, hay, and Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
