The TecRede project aims to generate technologies that would, in a short period of time, the development of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) cultivation in cage systems. The project chose the tambaqui to foment the development of cage fish farming since it is a fish native to Amapá, which has favorable domestic and international market demand, with production absorption capacity. The research network intends to determine the standardization of techniques and production systems based on Good Pr ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

| The essence of precision agriculture resides in the analysis of spatial variability of production factors, especially that of the soil. This analysis' results, interpreted from the standpoint of economical gain and environmental benefits, should guide the use of resources in a localized form, with precision doses. For this purpose, many technologies are used, such as GPS, GIS, sensors, actuators, embedded systems, among others. In Brazil, the adoption of precision agriculture still is a small nu Status: Completed Start date: Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |

| 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 Status: Completed Start date: Fri Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
