| The infection of the swine herd with Salmonella and consequently, the presence of this micro-organism in swine products, has been a serious concern since it can be a great threat to the consumers themselves. Embrapa Swine and Poultry and UFRGS teamed up to develop tools and epidemiological studies that can characterize the problem, the contamination sources and the infection dynamics in the country's southern herds. This project aims to propose a systematic control of the Salmonella infection in Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| *Content only available in Portuguese Atualmente a busca pela excelência norteia as atividades empresariais, contemplando a gestão centrada nos clientes, visão de futuro e longo alcance, gestão baseada em processos e informações, ação proativa rápida e aprendizado contínuo. A metodologia de Análise e Melhoria de Processos (AMP) constitui-se em ferramenta para gerenciamento de processos visando adequação de atividades em busca da excelência no desempenho.

| Society has become increasingly aware of the need to preserve the environment and health, demanding quality standards for food and agro-ecosystems. In this context, the rational use of phytosanitary products guarantees the sustainability of food production systems, mitigating, and even eliminating the effects caused by the indiscriminate use of chemical control. Other relevant aspects to be considered are the benefits arising from the crop-livestock integration that mitigate the negative effects Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| The culture of black pepper ( Piper nigrum L.) is of great socio-economical importance in the northern states of Brazil, Pará especially. However, its production has been suffering the incidence of diseases such as the one caused by the Cucumber mosaic virus(CMV) and the Piper yellow mottle virs (PYMoV). Although these viruses have already been reported in many of the Brazilian states, there are too few studies that address the virus diseases which affect this culture. Hence, this project ...

| *Content only available in Portuguese A demanda por substratos e fertilizantes orgânicos no Brasil é crescente, principalmente nas regiões produtoras de hortaliças próximas aos grandes centros urbanos. A compostagem de resíduos e outros materiais orgânicos é um processo que pode atender plenamente à demanda por esses insumos, mas, para isso, é necessária a utilização de matérias-primas abundantes, de custo competitivo e com reduzidos níveis de contaminação química e biológica.

O projeto tem como objetivo transferir as técnicas adequadas de separação, com ênfase em coleta seletiva, e do processo de compostagem, por meio da elaboração de folderes e cartilhas, fornecimento de cursos e seminários e divulgação em matérias jornalísticas, difundindo o conhecimento junto aos responsáveis por usinas de compostagem, às prefeituras, aos produtores rurais usuários do CLU e à comunidade em geral. O uso agrícola de composto de lixo urbano (CLU) é uma alternativa muito interessan ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| 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 pest aphids Sipha flava and Rhopalosiphum padi have caused significant injuries in elephantgrass and brachiaria swards, respectively. Thus, the objective of this project was to evaluate the bioecology of these pest insects and the predator Chrysoperla externa. The biological aspects of the pests were studied at 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32ºC. Temperatures of 20ºC and 24ºC were more favorable for insect development, and this temperature range is the most appropriate for t ...

| Studies on risk factors in dairy herds and their economic impact are available in countries with developed dairy production. This information is used to direct and prioritize procedures that improve herd health and avoid problems such as high total bacterial count and presence of antimicrobial residues in milk. In countries with developed dairy farming most herds are comprised of high-producing animals of specialized breeds and raised in total or partial confinement systems. In Brazil, there is Status: Completed Start date: Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |

O cultivo de outono-inverno responde hoje, em média, por 14% da produção nacional de feijão. O mofo-branco, causado por Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, é a doença mais destrutiva do feijoeiro nos plantios irrigados de outono-inverno, quando os dias são mais curtos e as temperaturas mais amenas (15-25o C). O controle químico como medida isolada pode ter eficiência baixa, além de ser de custo elevado e trazer riscos de contaminação ambiental. Além das práticas culturais que contribuem para a ...Status: Completed Start date: Tue May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
