BRS Boitatá and BRS Ocauçu cassava cultivars for the industry have high root and starch yields and high starch contents in first-cycle and second- cycle harvests, medium tolerance to the main diseases, adequate architecture for mechanized planting and stability in starch contents.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) starch consists of amylopectin and amylose, with its properties determined by the proportion of these two polymers. Waxy starches contain at least 95% amylopectin. In the food industry, waxy starches are advantageous, with pastes that are more stable t...

Genotype-environment interaction (GEI) presents challenges when aiming to select optimal cassava genotypes, often due to biased genetic estimates. Various strategies have been proposed to address the need for simultaneous improvements in multiple traits, while accounting for performance and yield stab...

In the state of Amazonas, the ‘Pêra’ orange scion is traditionally cultivated on ‘Rangpur’ lime tree. The restricted use of a single scion-rootstock combination has left local orchards vulnerable to adverse conditions and incidence of pests and diseases, which may negatively interfere w...

ABSTRACT The performance of Valencia sweet orange grafted onto 16 rootstocks was evaluated over nine years under natural inoculation of huanglongbing (HLB) and rainfed cultivation in Bebedouro, northern of São Paulo state, Brazil. Graft incompatibility symptoms were not observed over the eva...

This brief report expands upon the original review article published in Journal of Citrus Pathology in 2023 on citrus “phantom” disorders of presumed virus and virus-like etiology and addresses five additional disorders: citrus seed-borne virus disorder in New Zealand, bergamot vein yellowin...

Este trabalho visa contribuir para que o e-Campo se fortaleça como ferramenta de transferência e acessibilidade das soluções tecnológicas e conhecimentos gerados pela EMBRAPA. O objetivo geral do estudo é propor uma ferramenta de prospecção de demandas, que permita à Embrapa direcionar ...

ABSTRACT Diapause has been poorly investigated in tephritid fruit flies and in associated parasitoids in tropical regions. In this work, diapause in larval-pupal parasitoids of fruit flies is reported for the region of the Reconcavo Baiano, Brazil. Diapause was recorded for individuals ...

RESUMO: A Bahia ocupa a terceira posição nacional de produção de citros, perdendo para São Paulo (primeiro produtor) e Sergipe. Embora ocupe posição de relativo destaque no cenário nacional, o baixo rendimento dos pomares está relacionado a vários fatores, entre os quais se destaca...
