The use of technology based on computer vision and image processing has proven to be quite effective in automating the process of meat inspection routine. Countries like Australia and the USA have already used some computational methods for classifying and typifying carcasses in their industries. Based on this scenario of modernization of beef cattle farming and the significant production and export of meat in Brazil, there is a high demand to parameterize and enable automation processes for eva Status: Completed Start date: Tue Mar 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2022 |
The quick diagnosis of diseases in plants that have economic value is essential to guarantee food security and avoid larger losses as a consequence of disease spreading. Two major problems may hinder this goal: 1) the permanent monitoring of all the plants by people capable of detecting diseases is mostly unviable; 2) in many cases, the person who detects the symptoms doesn't have enough knowledge to identify their causes. Despite the existance of solutions that explore technology as a facilitat Status: Completed Start date: Thu Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
The overall objective is to develop disease-resistant banana and plantain cultivars with an agronomic and sensory profile in line with market demands. Status: In progress Start date: Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2021 |
The project aims to develop and / or recommend cultivars of bananas and plantains resistant to the main pests (nematodes and rhizome borers) and diseases (Sigatoka-black or Sigatoka-yellow or wilt Fusarium) with agronomic and sensory characteristics aligned with the main demands of the Brazilian fruit agribusiness.The research is carried out based on conventional breeding, via crossbreeding, adding advanced biology tools, with a focus on reducing time and increasing efficiency in the selection o Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
Develop and or recommend banana and plantain cultivars with resistance to the main pests (nematodes or rhizome borer) and diseases (black Sigatoka or yellow Sigatoka or Panama desease), and with agronomic and sensory characteristics aligned with the main demands of Brazilian fruit agribusiness. The strategy uses conventional breeding via crosses, adding advanced biology tools, focusing on reducing time and increasing the efficiency of selection of promising genotypes in the progenies, aiming at Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2017 |
