The project “Technology transfer to consolidate low carbon emission agriculture in Tocantins” was carried out to consolidate an agriculture based in low carbon emission technologies, sharing the knowledge in conservation agriculture through capacity building of scientists, agronomists, extension workers and consultants, which were then capable to transfer low carbon technologies such as no-till system, degraded pastures recovery and integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems to farmers of all st

The aim of this research is to determine the forage yield, quality and physiology of a Panicum spp. cv. Massai pasture in response to two grazing intensitiesand three irrigation depths. In Tocantins State, the difference between the average monthly minimum and maximum temperature reaches more than 16ºC, evenso, the lowest base temperature observed does not compromise the development of tropical forages. More than 93% of rainfall occurs between October andApril. This way, between May and Septembe ...

The Lower Tocantins region, PA, presents agricultural traits that integrate both traditional and modern practices; the small farming's main activities are concentrated on yuca cultivation and flour processing. In the county of Moju, the productivity obtained by the great majority of small farmers oscillates between 9 and 16 tons/hectare, once great part of them do not select propagation material, do not control weed growth and don't cultivate using adequate spacing. Moreover, other common farmin

Brazil has the second-largest area of total forest cover in the world, but is in ninth place interms of planted forests. Still, these are responsible for 91% of the total amount of woodproduced for industrial purposes in the country. Brazil's area of eucalyptus plantationsincreased 75% between 2004 and 2015, and the greatest mean annual increases in plantedarea were seen in the central region of the country (over 90,000 ha/yr); this was the second-largest in terms of area currently planted, quad

This project aims to map degradation levels of cultivated pastures in the Cerrado biome of four Brazilian states (Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Tocantins e São Paulo); to establish computational models to classify degraded pastures in Cerrado areas, according to different levels of degradation; and structure a geospatial database to assist decision making by public and private initiative regarding the use of these lands by agriculture and livestock. Despite being a relevant topic for the c

Among the many plagues which attack worldwide fruit culture, the fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) stand out for being present in all continents, and in practically all types of environment, being thus great hinderers of worldwide fruit production. In the Amazonian region, 5 species are already known in Acre, 28 in Amazonas, 22 in Amapá. 20 in Pará, 5 in Rondônia, 13 in Roraima and 16 in Tocantins, belonging to the genera Anastrepha, Bactrocera and Ceratitis./nThe state of Pará presents great d ...

The fish processing industry consumes a lot of water. This consumption depends on the species being processed, food processing techniques/methods and scale of operation. This project aims to study the water flow in fish industries and to determine the minimum consumption of water required for processing of the main salt-water and freshwater species that are industrialized in Brazil. The strategy is based on three pillars: conscious/rational use of water, better utilization of fish, and use of

Soy is one of the main commodities in national agricultural production, with Brazil being the world's largest producer, with a production of 135.4 million tons, productivity 3,517 kg/ha. With a planted area of ​​38.5 million hectares, it is still the world's largest exporter of the grain. Among the main producing states, Mato Grosso stands out as the largest Brazilian producer of soy, with production of 35.9 million tons, planted area of ​​10,374,861 hectares and productivity of 3492 kg/ha.
