| The palm oil tree is, among the oilseeds, the most productive one, being able to reach an annual production of 10 tons/hectare in favorable conditions. The oil has many uses in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and is also considered one of the best oils to produce biodiesel. In 2010, worldwide production of palm oil, cultivated in 14,99 million hectares, was of 45,09 million tons, while the production of soy oil, cultivated in 102,38 million hectares, was of 39,76 million tons.

| Among the essential nutrients, nitrogen (N) is the one with the greatest potential for enhancing forage production. The efficiency of nitrogen uptake is related to the energy supply provided by the photosynthesis. However, recent practices of intensive pasture management have recommended the use of lower post-grazing residues, thus reducing the leaf area of the canopy. The objective of this project was to evaluate the effect of the timing of nitrogen fertilization in association with different d Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| 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 ... Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

| For the economic exploitation of animal production in pastureland, it is essential to understand the morphophysiological responses of plants and animals to environment and management conditions, so that production can be efficient. This recommendation becomes more important in intensive pasture systems. In Brazil, especially in the Southeast, Midwest, North and Northeast regions, there is a predominance of tropical forage species, characterized by high dry matter production. However, problems su Status: Completed Start date: Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Brazil is the fifth largest producer of milk in the world with 35 billion liters produced in 2015. However, Brazilian dairy farmers still need improve milk quality and reduce production costs. One of the major limiting factors to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of milk production in Brazil is the management of dairy farms. In this context, Embrapa Gado de Leite developed, in partnership with the Central Cooperative of Rural Producers of Minas Gerais -(Cooperativa Central dos Produtor Status: Completed Start date: Tue May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2018 |
| Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) is one of the most important natural processes in the planet. It is either conducted by bacteria in the soil or added by inoculants, which associate with plant roots to capture and transform nitrogen from the air. Plants cannot assimilate atmospheric nitrogen by themselves. Therefore, the presence of nitrogen fixing bacteria in the soil composition is important. A legume that has been understudied with regard to its interaction with nitrogen fixing bacteria is Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The increase in productivity in dairy farming will be essential to ensure increases in the production and supply of milk and milk products to meet the world's growing population. Appropriate technologies should be developed and adopted to enable increased productivity in a sustainable way, ensuring greater milk production with reduced number of animals and farming area. The efficient use of dietary nutrients is one of the premises of sustainable production systems, since their inefficient use no Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| This project aims to contribute to improving the management, quality and biosafety of commercial egg-laying barns, through the implementation of best practices in production and in the training of technicians and farmers. It is aimed at smallholders and mid-sized family farmers whose egg production derives from hens raised in traditional aviaries (California-type layer cages).
