| In last the two decades, the melon agribusiness in Brazil has expanded nine times, reaching a production that is estimated at 500,000 tons per year and is concentrated in the Northeast. Since 2007, melons have become the main national fruit in volume of exports, and in 2008 Brazil was the second top world exporter. Nearly all melon cultivars planted in the Northeast are imported, and hence there is demand for more adapted ones, as the cultivars available were generally developed in soil and clim Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| The experiment's goal is to study the interaction between nutrient availability and plant density over the production and allocation of biomass, nutrition and wood quality of homogenous populations of balsa wood ( Ochroma pyramidale ) Status: Completed Start date: Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| The present project is mainly aimed to train technical assistance and rural extension professionals through continuing education courses, consisting of four basic modules to review fundamental knowledge and level up groups. Implementing horticultural technical reference units is one of the goals of the project Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Our goal is to train and mentor technicians in the dairy sector; strengthen the ties between research, extension and the production sector; and drive technologies to different regions and target audiences of the state of Mato Grosso through the Continuing Education method called the Training and Visit System - T&V Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| The Cerrado is the second largest Brazilian biome and is considered one of the main biodiversity reserves on the planet that need to be conserved. For a rational and sustainable exploitation of this natural wealth, it is necessary to get to know it beforehand. A possible approach, from the point of view of the elaboration of products from Cerrado plants, is the use of aromatic species to obtain essential oils and extracts for application in the perfume and cosmetic industries. The main goal of t Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| With the objective of developing technological innovations for the restoration of degraded pasture in the Brazilian Amazon region, this project involves all Embrapa units in the North region, besides additional ones in the Midwest. The intended result is to develop technological solutions which involve forage planting methods, e.g. no-till farming, intercropping of forage with annual crops, and alternatives techniques, to combat problems such as infestation by weeds and pest insects orlow soil f Status: Completed Start date: Tue Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| Development programs aimed at increasing production, improve milk quality and assist genetic selection of livestock are strategic initiatives to modernize the dairy chain in Brazil. Farmers, mostly family-scale, need special guidance to access technological information and training programs to increase production and improve productivity of the dairy herd. In addition, action plans and strategies to improve milk quality are essential in order to promote their inclusion in the formal dairy market Status: Completed Start date: Fri Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The objective is to establish a pilot network project for the production and distribution of manivas-cassava seed, with genetic and phytosanitary quality, to serve beneficiary families of the "Brazil Without Misery Plan" and to promote the increase of the supply of cassava to the Self-consumption of these families.

| Diseases and pests which affect coffee plants are responsible for the reduction in coffee productivity and quality, and also raise production costs and the environmental risks resulting from the application of control measures. The indiscriminate use of agrochemicals also induce pest and disease resistance to control agents. A quick and precise diagnosis and a high or low risk alert for the accelerated progress and establishment of disease and pest epidemics, allied to wide and facilitated acces Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
