| The general objective is to evaluate the potential of microorganisms isolated from the rhizosphere soil and internal tissues of Ananas spp., from different environments, in the development of pineapple seedlings in order to develop technological packages for the production of healthy pineapple plants, as well as to understand the role of these microorganisms to aid plant defense against fusariosis and pineapple wilt in order to obtain plants with greater vigor and tolerance to biotic stresses. < ...

| This project aims to contribute to improving the management, quality and biosafety of commercial egg-laying barns, through the implementation of best practices in production and in the training of technicians and farmers. It is aimed at smallholders and mid-sized family farmers whose egg production derives from hens raised in traditional aviaries (California-type layer cages).

| This study analyses the mobilization experience of two groups of women which practice mangaba extractivism and call themselves pickers. They inhabit restinga areas (sandbanks) and tabuleiros (tablelands) in the Brazilian northeast and fields of the north, where they practice various activities (fishing, handicraft, tourism wage-earning, etc.), which are essential to their family's reproduction. This project's goal is to analyze the mobilization experience of women mangaba fruit pickers in the co Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Bifequali TT takes technologies to beef cattle farmers, with a focus on capacity-building for technicians. The participating properties are monitored and assessed so that the impact of the application of Embrapa's recommendations can be learned.

| Eucalyptus cropping has been growing in Brazil in the last few years and has become an important alternative for rural areas. With expressive participation in the country's trade balance, it is moved by the demand for paper, cellulose, timber and evergy. Since 2009, Embrapa Satellite Monitoring has carried out research to define efficient sustainability indicators from the assessment of tree and bush flora biodiversity and faunal biodiversity, in addition to proposing forest management actions.

| Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is distinct from charcoal and other similar materials dueto its use as a soil conditioner to improve soil quality. One factor limiting understanding andvalidation of biochar as a soil conditioner and carbon sink is the lack of long-duration studies inthe field. Such studies are essential, since biochar can be produced from a wide variety of rawmaterials and thermic processes, leading to very diverse products. Most studies are done ingreenhouses; due to cost Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| The Basic Sanitation System for Rural Areas was initially composed of two technologies, the "Biodigester Septic Tank" and the "Embrapa Chlorinator", developed by the researcher Antônio Pereira de Novaes (deceased). Such technologies, due to their social and national reach, have provided great returns to Brazilian society. Embrapa Instrumentation has made efforts to disseminate the system in the entire domestic territory through public and private partnerships, however, it has observed the need t ...

| Psyllids are small jumping insects in the superfamily Psylloidea (Hemiptera) which damage tovarious agricultural and forest crops. Some psyllids can transmit bacterial diseases to plants:the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina Citra Kuwayama) transmits Huanglongbing disease (citrusgreening), currently considered the most serious citrus disease in Asia and America. There arean estimated 1000 psyllid species in Brazil, but approximately 90% have not yet beendescribed; as of 2012, only 73 species had Status: In progress Start date: Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2018 |
| Milk production systems in Brazil are based, for the most part, on the use of tropical grass pastures as the main source of nutrients for animals. Keeping high levels of pasture-based milk production depends on the following factors: supply of forage in quantity and quality, maximum duration of the grazing season, rational use of energy, protein and mineral supplements, and definition of management strategy that aims at productivity by area. Therefore, intensive pasture management results in for Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
