Abstract: Paddy rice cultivation is an important anthropogenic source of atmospheric methane (CH4). Quantifying CH4 emissions under specific crop conditions is essential to improve the accuracy of global greenhouse gas estimates. Computer modeling simulation may contribute to a better understanding&#x...
Abstract: Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn., commonly known as goosegrass, is one of the most troublesome weed species worldwide. In Brazil, the increasing number of herbicide-resistance cases, particularly to glyphosate, has made goosegrass the most agronomically significant weed species in the count...
Abstract: Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) have been increasingly detected in human tissues, including the placenta and, more recently, the brain. Their capacity to cross biological barriers such as the placenta and the blood–brain barrier raises significant concern for sexually dimorphic neurodeve...
Abstract: The use of plant growth-promoting microorganisms is a promising alternative to improve Brachiaria performance. The potential of a Bacillus aryabhattai (strain CMAA 1363) inoculant, applied via seed treatment, to promote Brachiaria brizantha growth was evaluated, comparing it to commercial&#x...
Resumo: A intensificação da piscicultura no Brasil amplia os desafios sanitários, exigindo alternativas seguras para o consumidor e o ambiente. Nesse contexto, bioinsumos à base de compostos bioativos de plantas vêm sendo estudados por seu potencial imunoestimulante. O extrato de Artemisia a...
Resumo: O transporte intensifica o estresse em peixes cultivados, comprometendo homeostase. Antibióticos são utilizados, mas apresentam riscos relacionados à resistência bacteriana e resíduos. Extratos vegetais, como Artemisia annua, despontam como alternativas promissoras para mitigar tais efeitos. O presente&...
This study identifies the optimal period for using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery to assess pasture conditions in the municipality of Lagoinha, São Paulo State, Brazil. It combines long-term precipitation data (1948‒2024) and NDVI time series derived from Sentinel-2 satellite (2017‒2024)&#...
Abstract: Postharvest losses remain a major challenge in fruit production systems, affecting both climacteric fruits, such as papaya, and non-climacteric fruits, such as orange. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation has emerged as a sustainable alternative to chemical fungicides; however, its effectiveness d...
RESUMO. A relação entre os povos tradicionais na América do Sul e América Central e as abelhas sem ferrão remonta ao período pré-colonização europeia, a partir da existência de inúmeros artefatos arqueológicos que comprovam como as abelhas e seus produtos eram considerados especiais...
The Rio dos Patos Basin in the Cerrado Biome in Brazil is experiencing land use change from (degraded) pasture to sugarcane fields. While the Cerrado has a low share of land under sugarcane cultivation (2 %), it contains half of Brazil’s sugarcane area and presents the&#x...
