Palpita forficifera Munroe, 1959 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is the main pest of the olive tree (Olea europaea L., Oleaceae) in Brazil. We observed the stink bug Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas, 1851) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) predating larvae of P. forficifera in olive orchards. Therefore, the aim...
The collection and identification of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma Westwood, 1833 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is the first step towards a successful application in the field. This is because, in a biological control program, it is necessary to select the parasitoid species most adapte...
Paddy fields are significant anthropogenic sources of methane (CH4) emissions. In southern Brazil, rice is grown in lowland flooded areas once a year, followed by a long fallow period. This study aimed to measure CH4 fluxes in a rice paddy field in southern Brazil during ...
Plant extracts have been recognized as beneficial to human health and have been evaluated as feed additive for domestic and companion animals. This study evaluated oregano and green tea extracts fed to Jersey cows from approximately 21 d before calving to 21 d after calving&#x...

Breeding programs aim to increase grain yield and quality through selection oriented mostly by morphological and productive traits. Although morphoanatomical traits are preponderant for plant performance, they are usually time-consuming, demanding specific equipment and trained personnel. The aim of t...
Phenotyping is the major bottleneck in the effort to develop varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L) suitable for grow under a water saving irrigation management, such as alternate wetting and drying irrigation technique (AWD). In order to analyze if the genotypic variability for carbon...
As the climate change takes place, the cultivation of temperate climate crops in subtropical areas has become a challenge. The success of fruit crops, such as blackberry, in certain areas depends basically on its chilling requirement and the chilling accumulation in those areas. Us...
A nogueira-pecã é uma árvore frutífera, nativa de países da América do Norte, seu produto principal é seu fruto, a noz-pecã. Nas últimas duas décadas no sul do Brasil vêm ocorrendo o desenvolvimento da cadeia da pecanicultura. A produção de mudas de qualidade é um fator&#...
O clima corresponde um dos principais fatores que influenciam o desenvolvimento da nogueira-pecã, sendo que o frio durante o período de dormência é um dos motivos limitantes, uma vez que, segundo a literatura, a nogueira-pecã necessita de baixas temperaturas para que possa induzir ...
