The objective of the study was to increase the efficiency of phenotypic selection of promising genotypes for fruit and pyrene production in pequi trees (Caryocar brasiliense Cambess.), considering data from different harvest seasons. The number of fruits, the number of pyrenes, and the&...

Abstract: Brazil has emerged as a global leader in the use of silicate agrominerals (ASi), silicate-rich rock powders that supply plant nutrients and improve soil properties. These materials could advance low-cost soil-sustaining crop production, particularly in the deeply weathered and nutrient-...
