Abstract: Agroforestry Systems (AFS) integrate trees, agronomic crops and forage species, focusing on agricultural sustainability and productivity. However, the lack of specific mechanization for AFS limits their efficiency. This research aimed to assess the adequacy of existing agricultural machinery ...

Abstract: The cultivation of conventional maize in refuge areas is important for preserving Bt technology and serving specific markets with greater added value to the grains. Therefore, research aimed at chemical weed control must also continue to be directed to conventional maize hybri...

Abstract: During the past 30 years, augmentative biological control (ABC) has received increasing interest and is now applied in a large diversity of crops on many hectares in Latin America and the Caribbean. Around the year 2000 4.35 million hectares were estimated to be trea...

Abstrract: This study aimed to evaluate the dynamics of total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and some indicators of environmental sustainability of Nile tilapia reared in a biofloc technology (BFT) system. Nile tilapia fingerlings were cultured in three BFT uni...

Abstract: The evolutionary history of crop pathogens is shaped by a complex interaction of natural and anthropogenic factors. The fungus Colletotrichumgraminicola causes maize anthracnose which results in significant yield losses worldwide. We conducted a comprehensive investigation into the evolutionary&#...

Abstract Papaya is susceptible to fungal deterioration and the use of essential oils (EOs) emerges as a promising alternative to fungicides, which causes environmental and human health problems. To evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oils and their major constituents in controlling...

Resumo: A ACV é uma métrica internacional que calcula a pegada de carbono ("do berço ao túmulo"). A Embrapa a aplica em commodities, carne, leite e frutas tropicais. Na pecuária, a redução da pegada é feita com genética, eficiência e, principalmente, sequestro de carbono&...

Abstract: LCA is a methodology originally proposed for industrial processes. This technique involves accounting the material and energy flows exchanged between the place where production processes occurs and the environment, and assumes closure of mass balances. In a physically limited structure&...

Plants have developed specific mechanisms to tackle environmental challenges. During one annual period, a dioecious yerba mate with rhythmic growth can present two growth units (GU1 and GU2) intercalated with two rest periods (R1 and R2). We hypothesized that photosynthetic performance will&...
