The tingid Leptopharsa heveae, known as the lace bug, occurs in large populations in rubber tree plantations, limiting the production of latex due to losses of photosynthetic area and weakening of the infested trees. The alternative for the use of…

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). Apresenta como uma alternativa à criação, compartilhamento e disseminação do conhecimento nestas instituições o…

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…

Fatores climáticos, como as altas temperaturas ambientais no semiárido do Nordeste, podem influenciar a atividade reprodutiva do macho caprino. Sabe-se que nessa espécie, a sazonalidade reprodutiva é uma característica importante na limitação da produtividade. Dentre as raças caprinas, a Moxotó…

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…

This paper investigates and analyses the process of building a knowledge management (KM) model at Brazil‟s Embrapa (The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation). Embrapa is a world class knowledge organization whose mission is to provide feasible solutions for the sustainable development…

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,…
