O projeto busca alinhar ações interdisciplinares para gerar conhecimentos em sistemas agroflorestais de base familiar para o desenvolvimento de boas práticas agrícolas que promovam a agrobiodiversidade, incremento do controle biológico e a conservação do solo.

Como estratégia de ação, o projeto focará a pesquisa participativa envolvendo jovens agricultores, filhos de agricultores familiares, que são alunos regulares do Curso Profissional Técnico em Agropecuária, integrados ao ensino m

In the matter of control of HLB, the subject of study by several research groups has been the use of biological agents: predators, parasitoids or pathogenic microorganisms that are capable of decreasing the population densities of Diaphorina citri not only in areas where HLB is already established, but also in undersized areas where the high psyllid populations have not yet been subjected to such intensive spraying of pesticides. This project has contributed to the prospecting and characterizati

The advancement of RNAi technology in the past 10 years has demonstrated a wide spectrum of use, and the recent commercial release of the first transgenic plant with mediated insect resistance is the first example of the use of technology in pest control. In addition to the use in transgenics, the direct application of dsRNA (topical RNAi) for pest control has become a real alternative, and will enable the use of RNAi in any crop.

The project aims to develop and / or recommend cultivars of bananas and plantains resistant to the main pests (nematodes and rhizome borers) and diseases (Sigatoka-black or Sigatoka-yellow or wilt Fusarium) with agronomic and sensory characteristics aligned with the main demands of the Brazilian fruit agribusiness.The research is carried out based on conventional breeding, via crossbreeding, adding advanced biology tools, with a focus on reducing time and increasing efficiency in the selection o

The objectives are to identify more efficient citrus genotypes in the use of irrigation water in three regions of Brazil, aiming at a management that optimizes the use of water and to associate the morphophysiological responses to the efficiency in the use of rootstock water evaluated at field level and under controlled conditions.

The reduced volume of papaya exports is the result of a number of limiting logistical factors, such as the absence of post-harvest technologies that allow export via maritime modal (which would increase the competitiveness of the Brazilian fruit due to reduced costs.) The excessive use of pesticides leading to the presence of residues in fruits has also been an important restriction imposed by the foreign market, a scenario which will soon also be a reality of the domestic market, considering co

This project aims at the development of phytotechnical processes and citrus varieties to contribute to the management of HLB based on experiments installed at the FCC in an area where HLB occurs. Several scion/rootstock combinations and five citrus seedling planting systems and intercropping with other species will be selected for production, in addition to the occurrence of Diaphorina citri and the incidence of HLB.
