| Minas Gerais accounts for 27.6% of the national milk production, standing out as the largest producing state in the country. Although statistics show a constant evolution in the milk production chain in Brazil, in recent years dairy farming has faced new challenges and, in this scenario, with low profit margins, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of milk production systems, which still have many constraints. Among these, infecto-contagious diseases stand out, with mastitis being the main Status: Completed Start date: Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| The identification of economically relevant genes might translate into considerable competitive advantage in markets more and more competitive and globalized. Genes which are associated with plague resistance, productivity increase and organoleptic attributes (which can be experienced by the senses such as color, taste and texture) appreciated by consumers are extremely important to the Brazilian stockbreeding market. There is a considerable number of bioinformatic tools that are available to th Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Cattle farming is one of the most important activities of Brazilian agribusiness. Brazil is the world's largest beef exporter, holds the world's largest commercial herd, and is the world's third largest producer and consumer of beef and the world's seventh largest milk producer, with about 4% of the world's total. In spite of its large overall production, Brazilian cattle farming remains low in productivity, indicating a great potential for improvement and expansion of this sector of the economy Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Black pepper ( Piper nigrum L.) is highly important in Brazilian agri-business, and it currently occupies the fourth position in the world's market export rates, the state of Pará being responsible for 85% of the national production. In this context, the emergence of fusariosis, caused by the Fusarium solani f. sp. Piperis fungus, has been the source of significant losses to the black pepper culture, especially in Pará. Studies have confirmed the narrow genetic base and the suscep ... Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Dairy farming is one of the most important economic activities in the agribusiness of the State of Minas Gerais, which is the largest milk producer in Brazil (28% of production). The dairy production chain is one of the most important in the state, employing labor, generating revenues of around R $ 2.4 billion/year and guaranteeing income for a large part of the population. However, most properties have low productivity due to several factors related to the herd, such as health, genetic potentia Status: Completed Start date: Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |

The TecRede project aims to generate technologies that would, in a short period of time, the development of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) cultivation in cage systems. The project chose the tambaqui to foment the development of cage fish farming since it is a fish native to Amapá, which has favorable domestic and international market demand, with production absorption capacity. The research network intends to determine the standardization of techniques and production systems based on Good Pr ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| 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.

| The project's team aims to prospect demands based on the diagnosis and characterization of the main agrarian systems in East São Paulo - especially those linked to Family Farming - towards the joint and participatory generation of knowledge, processes, innovations, methodologies and technologies, aiming at the redesign and the sustainable management of agroecosystems based on Agroecology rules. The East São Paulo region is formed by 90 cities within the Cerrados and Atlantic Rainforest biomes, w ... Status: Completed Start date: Tue May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2018 |
| The essence of precision agriculture resides in the analysis of spatial variability of production factors, especially that of the soil. This analysis' results, interpreted from the standpoint of economical gain and environmental benefits, should guide the use of resources in a localized form, with precision doses. For this purpose, many technologies are used, such as GPS, GIS, sensors, actuators, embedded systems, among others. In Brazil, the adoption of precision agriculture still is a small nu Status: Completed Start date: Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
