There has been increased interest in the use of techniques to collect and store rainwater in the last few decades, with funding from national and international bodies; however, the general performance of these activities at farmer level is lower than expected, and that relates to the lack of knowledge of the existence and importance of techniques to cope with semiarid conditions.
Considering the social-economic importance of agricultural activities in rain-dependent areas, it is necessary to ...

Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.

The current project aims to strengthen a multidisciplinary team that is familiar with spectroscopy, chemometrics, pedology, and soil fertility in order to adapt and incorporate various routine methods used in s ...

The soil is of vital importance for the planet. The soil is the main support of agriculture; for climate change, it is one of the regulating elements of the water cycle.
It is in this context that FAO and Embrapa signed an agreement, aimed at the operation of a digital soil mapping for Latin America, as part of the “support for the establishment of the second stage of the Latin American soil system” and whose results and products will be: a) Preparation of a package and program for capacity- ...

Fine-texture soils in Brazil are generally deemed to have low agricultural potential. Due to low levels of clay and organic matter, they usually present low nutrient and water retention capacity, and, when poorly managed, may produce negative impacts associated with high risks of groundwater contamination by nutrients and other chemical pollutants, or with potential erosion when directly exposed to rain.

In order to guarantee agricultural sustainability in environments associated with t ...
