| This is a Co-financed Project (Edictal CAPES/Embrapa n° 15/2014), conducted with the partnership between the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel) - Capão do Leão Campus, the leader institution, and Embrapa Trigo, the partner. Its main objective is the training of human resources (master, doctorate, and postdoctorate) to act on the cereal science and technological area, through the wheat technological quality evaluation as for structural, functional and technological characteristics, promoting k ...

| The Extractive Reserve (Resex) "Forever Green" was created in 2004, in an area of 1,288,717 hectares in Porto de Moz- PA. The families that live in this reserve survive especially of artisan fishing, of subsistence agriculture and of raising domesticated buffalos. The region's income increase face the lack of technical knowledge and difficulty of direct access to the consumer market as main obstacles, point out locals. This project aims to organize and develop practices inside Resex with the int ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| Riverside communities experience many deficiencies in electricity supply and basic sanitation. Regarding forest products management there is a dependency of açaí and limited use of other species. Thus, the project located at Ilha das Cinzas – Pará state, aims to: evaluate agroforestry systems with ‘pau mulato’ and other arboreal and agricultural species; generate actual technical indices to the management of native açaí grooves through its mapping and monitoring along with participating families ...

| Artisanal cheeses are traditionally produced from raw milk. In the State of Minas Gerais they are regarded as intangible heritage of humanity by the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage, with the following two regions of the State being awarded a geographic indication label: Canastra and Serro. These indications have been pursued by other regions producing artisanal cheeses. Currently, their sale is permitted by official bodies, but their production safely to the consumer is st Status: Completed Start date: Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| 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 ...

Smallholder Capsicum pepper growers in Uganda are operating below the ideal levels of agricultural production due to a lack of improved varieties, low quality seed systems and the devastation caused by pests and diseases. The damages caused by diseases are aggravated by the cultivation of susceptible germplasm and the use of poor quality seeds. In order to increase production and competitiveness in the market, farmers need to have access to clean seeds of cultivars that are tolerant to diseas ...Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a high-yield commodity in Togo(Maatman, and the Al., 2011). The local pepper varieties are preferred and widely consumed, but there are no commercial seeds available in the market, or a Capsicum breeding program in Togo. Farmers themselves perpetuate the local varieties by collecting seeds of commercial fruits for the next sowing. Through a participatory research approach, this project aims at: 1) Selecting two local red pepper varieties and two bell pepper varieties th Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Promoting the diffusion of integrated peanut production practices, with emphasis on the biological control of fungi to reduce product contamination by aflatoxin in Mali, is the goal of this project. The action has made the knowledge exchange between Brazilian and African researchers possible. Mali is the second largest peanut producing country of the African continent. However, the product's high contamination rates in the country affect the crops and cause health risk for consumers. As an alter Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| The detection of metal ions in plant tissues is an analytical problem of biological relevance with an impact on plant production. These ions are present in the tissues of plants, and insufficient or excessive values can lead to toxicity and change in their physiology. One of the analytical strategies for the determination of metallic ions in tissues is the use of electrochemical biosensors, which allow quick, selective and sensitive responses. This project aims at the construction of a biosensor Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Milk production systems in Brazil are based, for the most part, on the use of tropical grass pastures as the main source of nutrients for animals. Keeping high levels of pasture-based milk production depends on the following factors: supply of forage in quantity and quality, maximum duration of the grazing season, rational use of energy, protein and mineral supplements, and definition of management strategy that aims at productivity by area. Therefore, intensive pasture management results in for Status: Completed Start date: Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
