In the past few years, improvements in the data acquisition technology have decreased the time interval of data gathering. Consequently, institutions have stored huge amounts of data such as climate time series and remote sensing images. Computational models to filter,…

In integrated pest management (IPM), biological control is one of the possible options for the prevention or remediation of an unacceptable pest activity or damage. The success of forecast models in IPM depends, among other factors, on the knowledge of…

In addition to the efforts undertaken by research institutions to generate new knowledge and technologies, it is also necessary to promote the results of this research. Specifically, there is a need for an information system that aggregates, organizes and systematizes…

The combination of soil science, forestry, agronomy and biology allowed an analytical comparison of various experimental mixed culture systems. From these studies, a descriptor system was developed which allows to understand the contribution of each plant species to nutrient cycling,…

Este trabalho, de caráter conceitual, explora a comunicação como um processo imprescindível para a gestão do conhecimento nas instituições de pesquisa, desenvolvimento e inovação tecnológica (PD&I).

Knowledge on evapotranspiration is essential in quantifying water use depletion and to allocate scarce water resources to competing uses. Despite that an extensive literature describes the theoretical mechanisms of turbulent water vapour transport above and within crop canopies fewer studies…

Studies regarding parasite fauna in farmed fish are of great relevance to lhe knowledge of the parasites species. allowing interference in their proliferation in order to avoid epizooties and consequently. economical losses, This study was designed to investigate the prevalence…

The "Cerrado Region" - the acid savannas of Brazil, as many as thirty years ago, were considered as ecosystem unsuitable for agriculture crop production because environmental limitations. However, a burst in agricultural development has taken place in the area during…
