This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance and carcass characteristics of young intact male purebred origin Zebu cattle of four breeds: Brahman (n = 17), Guzerat (n = 25), Sindhi (n = 23), and Tabapua (n = 41). A total of 106 animals were weaned at 8–9&...

The objective in this study was to identify yield gaps and management factors that limit the yield of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in tropical and subtropical regions of Brazil. A total of 303 cassava fields were analyzed, and the yield potential was estimated using the&...

This study presents a geomorphological map of Brazil based on geomorphometric parameters. The lack of standardized relief representation highlights the need for objective delineation of relief units using measurable morphometric characteristics. Available relief and slope were combined with a geomorph...

The experiment was conducted to verify the effects of delipidation using L-carnitine on the development and survival of in vitro-produced bovine embryos, cryopreserved by vitrification, using the evaluation of the intracytoplasmic content of lipids, cellular apoptosis, mitochondrial potential, the rat...

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays an important role in regulating reproductive events, particularly follicular develop-ment and oocyte competence acquisition. Some studies using FSH protocols in zebu cattle were performed, but data regardingits application in the Red Sindhi breed are scarce and...

O Programa Produtor de Água (PPA) destaca-se por integrar práticas agrícolas com conservação ambiental, oferecendo incentivos econômicos aos produtores rurais que adotam práticas voltadas à manutenção e recomposição da vegetação nativa, construção de terraços e bacias de retenção de água. Quanto&...

O conhecimento sobre a dinâmica florística é fundamental para o entendimento do processo de revegetação de áreas degradadas, especialmente em ambientes savânicos do bioma Cerrado. Nesses ambientes, ainda existem lacunas significativas de informações. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a compos...

This study evaluated the relationships and sensitivity of denitrifying microbial gene abundance, as well as the activities of soil enzymes β-glucosidase (GLU) and arylsulfatase (ARYL), to assess the quality of sugarcane soils managed with vinasse (V), filter cake (FC), and mineral fertilizer...

Edaphoclimatic conditions influence nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from agricultural systems where soil biochemical properties play a key role. This study addressed cumulative N2O emissions and their relations with soil biochemical properties in a long-term experiment (26 years) with integrated crop–li...
