The determination of biological parameters and the spatiotemporal dynamics of insect pests is essential for calibrating simulation models that enable the prediction of population growth and the establishment of warning systems for management actions. In this context, the objective of this st...
A conversão de florestas amazônicas em pastagens extensivas tem impulsionado a degradação do solo, homogeneização biótica e perdas de carbono. Para enfrentar esses desafios, sistemas integrados de produção surgem como estratégia importante. Esta tese analisou o impacto de diferentes sistemas de&#...
The aim of this study was to identify, characterize, and map mother trees of selected indigenous tree species to tackle shortage of high quality and quantity tree seed provision for massive plantation program by providing both temporal and spatial distribution of mother trees in&#x...
A propagação vegetativa da erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil.) é uma técnica importante e que possibilita a manutenção de características de interesse, como alta produtividade e composição química específica. No entanto, essa técnica ainda apresenta limitações e necessita de protocolos eficient...
Araucaria is a native conifer, with high economic importance, especially in the southern region of the Brazil. Considering the difficulties of producing clonal plants of the species, the objective of the study was to determine the influence of different environments and substrates on&#x...
With the crescent interest of the industries in phenolic compounds-rich aqueous extract, new extraction methodologies must be evaluated on their technical and environmental efficiencies. In the current work, the extraction of phenolic compounds from yerba mate is evaluated using the non-isotherma...
Exotic Eucalyptus spp. are the most planted trees species in forest cultivation in Brazil. The red gum lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), an invasive exotic pest, reduces the development and wood production of Eucalyptus spp. plantations. The search for natu...
This study presents an integrated multivariate and univariate analysis of circadian metabolomic signatures in Ilex paraguar-iensis (yerba mate) clones cultivated under semi-hydroponic conditions. Using repeated measures ANOVA–SimultaneousComponent Analysis (RM-ASCA+) and hierarchical clustering on principal components (H...
Effective pest management requires accurate and continuous monitoring. This monitoring helps assess population dynamics and guides the development of integrated pest management strategies. Traps used to capture insects are an alternative applied to various crops. However, the identification and manual...
This study presents the scale-up of the discoloration process of the dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) by the white-rot fungus Ganoderma lucidum. Experiments were initially conducted in a 2-L lab-scale bioreactor and subsequently scaled up to a 45-L packed-bed bioreactor operated in&#...
