Post-harvest rot has been responsible for losses by producers, a fact which has limited the commercialization of agricultural products for consumption in natura, fruits and vegetables. The fungus Alternaria alternata is ...

We evaluated functional attributes of fifteen native tree species with timber potential in multi-stratified and biodiverse agroforestry systems implanted and managed by farmers, in recent agroforestry movement, in three ...

The impact of invasive species management in forest restoration systems affects the communities of microorganisms in the soil and litter. They are fundamental for carrying out ecosystem functions, which guarantee the ...

There is a large need for tropical forest restoration, however there are practical restrictions that limit its implantation in large-scale. To improve direct seedling efficiency as an alternative, we have tested whether ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of including millet hay (Pennisetum glaucum) on the egg quality of laying quails. 192 birds were used, distributed in randomized blocks, submitted to four experimental diets ...

Agribusiness and the conventional agricultural production method are associated with a series of environmental impacts, resulting in the loss of habitats, contamination of water and soil resources, desertification of ...

Weed species, especially those from the Poaceae and Cyperaceae families, cause several problems in the first stages of tree seedling plantings aiming for tropical forest restoration. The general objective of this work is ...

Agroecology can be understood as a science and as a practice, connecting itself in different ways with other fields of knowledge. In recent decades, agroecology has been inserted in the educational context at different ...

For family farming, the flow of production has been one of the biggest bottlenecks within the productive rural units. Agroforestry systems are becoming a relevant alternative for food production in family farming, but not ...
