Mangos from South America can require 4 or more weeks for marine transport to the USA. To achieve these shipping durations, green (unripe) fruit are currently transported in air at 7-9°C (i.e., below their chilling threshold temperature). This results in poor quality, especially fl...
Umbu” (Spondias tuberosa Arruda Câmara) is a typical fruit from northeastern Brazil of considerable economic importance to this region, because several products are derived from it and commercialized, especially the pulp, which can be used as a raw material for preserves and juices....
n the cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cultivation system, planting seedlings directly in the field is widely used. However, establishment of plants by this method is slow, taking about 15 days to start the formation of shoots and roots. The plant in this phase is not v...
Propôs-se com este estudo conhecer a variação do potencial da água no solo e na folha da videira “Superior Seedless”, tal como o crescimento da baga da uva sob diferentes condições de irrigação na fase de maturação da uva, na Fazenda Agrobrás Tropical do Brasil S/A,&...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fermentation, nutritional characteristics, and potential use of mixed silages of gliricidia and mango fruit waste in sheep diets. Two experimental trials were conducted. The first was a completely ran- domized design consisting of mixed sil...
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a crop of major importance in semiarid regions, where powdery mildew can significantly reduce productivity. This study evaluated powdery mildew severity in four cowpea cultivars grown under monocropping and intercropping with two biomass sorghum (Sorghum&#...
Training system and rootstock influence grape quality by regulating vegetative vigor, canopy structure, and metabolite biosynthesis, which may impact the juice shelf life. This study applied a targeted metabolomics approach to evaluate how combinations of training system and rootstock affect the&...
A mudança climática tem impactado a produção agrícola, especialmente o desenvolvimento de gramíneas utilizadas na alimentação de rebanhos. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo selecionar genótipos de milheto com maior potencial de adaptação ao déficit hídrico, por meio da avaliação&#x...
The objective of this study was to develop and validate UMITEMP, an intuitive system for real-time monitoring of air temperature (Ta) and relative humidity (RH) in cold rooms for table grape storage. The system integrates hardware and software with wireless radio-frequency communication ...
A cultura do melão apresenta importância econômica, com destaque para o Nordeste que agrega na produção nacional.Porém é uma região que enfrenta diversos períodos de seca que afetam a produtividade. Como opção, os inoculantes com bactérias promotoras de crescimento, a exemplo o Bacillus...
