| A crescente demanda de água para fins industriais e residenciais, geração de energia, mineração, lazer, somados aos problemas ambientais, faz com que quantidade de água para a agricultura apresente uma tendência de redução. A agricultura é o maior usuário de água em todo o mundo. O setor agrícola brasileiro é o principal usuário consuntivo dos recursos hídricos. Uma provável solução para esse problema é aperfeiçoar como a água é manejada, o que envolve a adoção de tecnologias e procedimentos ade ...

| The tomato is one of the most cultivated vegetables in the world, and is the target of countless plant health problems. Embrapa Vegetables has historically produced research in plant health within this production chain under the scope of the Tomato Genetic Improvement Project. However, the increasing demand for studies aimed at perfecting pest diagnosis methods and generating essential information for management has signaled the need to create a specific plant health project. Thus, this project Status: Completed Start date: Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |

| Brazil is a tropical country with an extensive territorial area and vast plant diversity. This makes the weed species that infest the crops be widely varied. Such characteristics differentiate Brazil from other countries with temperate climates. GM crops that are resistant to herbicides, especially to glyphosate, have created a new scenario for weed control in Brazilian agriculture. Farmers have adopted RR technology right away as efficiency and cost are its main benefits. The use of glyphosate Status: Completed Start date: Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is the world's second largest crop and Brazil has taken second place in wheat production in South America. However, productivity in this crop can be limited due to occurrence of some diseases, one of which, wheat blast, caused by the Magnaporthe grisea fungus, has caused large productivity losses that can reach 72% depending on the time of infection. With the expansion of wheat crops to other Brazilian regions such as the Midwest, the fungus has been settling in and Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

| The Platonia insignis tree possesses the singular trait of sprouting through the roots. At Oriental Amazon, in older areas where Platonia insignis bushes occur naturally one may notice the sprouting of this arboreal species, in ways that resemble weeds. Many farmers replant these spontaneous sprouts, with sufficient spacing in between them, then adequately trim their crowns and care for the new sprouts, allowing the formation of new bushes and thus helping to restore degraded are Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Fine-texture soils in Brazil are generally deemed to have low agricultural potential. Due to low levels of clay and organic matter, they usually present low nutrient and water retention capacity, and, when poorly managed, may produce negative impacts associated with high risks of groundwater contamination by nutrients and other chemical pollutants, or with potential erosion when directly exposed to rain.

| Responses of humid tropical forests to logging: new perspectives for forest management in the Amazon
The GUIAMAFLOR project includes French (Guyana and Montpellier) and Brazilian (Manaus and Macapá) research partners. The fieldwork is located in four sustainable systems in three Amazonian regions (French Guyana, Amapá and Amazonas) aiming to understand how environmental factors influence the forest dynamic after logging in multiple intensity levels. With the project’s results it will be possible to make a synthesis of the knowledge about forests’ functioning after logging to improve forest m ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |

| Agricultural systems basically depend on ecological processes and services provided by ecosystems. These ecological processes and services, called ecosystem services or environmental services, relate to the conditions and processes through which ecosystems sustain human life by supplying provisions (food, timber, fiber and fuel production), regulation (of water, of climate, protection against droughts, flooding, storms, spread of diseases and soil degradation, waste purification), support (hydro Status: Completed Start date: Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| Pineapple is explored in Brazil in approximately 60,000 hectares, with the predominance of smallholdings, in which more than 80% of the properties have less than 10 hectares. The pineapple is the fifth largest produced fruit in the country, having thus great social importance in generating rural jobs and income, having the Northern and Northeastern regions as the most important ones. This project's main goal is to introduce, in the state of Pará, the system of Integrated Production Management (M ... Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |

| Pasture degradation is one of the main problems of Brazilian cattle farming. Several strategies to recover the productivity of degraded pastures have been developed by Embrapa and other research and education institutions. In such studies, reducing the costs of the recovery of degraded pastures has been one of their main focuses. Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) have proved to be some of the best alternatives to reduce the costs of pasture fertilization. ICLS have potential to increase t Status: Completed Start date: Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| Yerba mate is an extremely important business in southern Brazil in environmental as well associoeconomic terms, providing the main economic alternative for many municipalities andserving as a source of income and jobs in rural settings.
