The protein content of the cowpea has proved to be very variable, especially of the green grain. The aim of this study, therefore, was to obtain information on the influence of the environment and genetic variability on the total protein content (TPC) of green cowpea grain, as well as to evaluate the effects of production components on this variable. Sixteen cowpea genotypes were evaluated in two environments (...
In the search for new legumes species to compose the forage mix, the CAUPI beans [Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walp.] It has been a little studied in Brazil for such purpose, despite several studies in the world that prove the potential of this species for forage production. The objective was to elaborate a selective index that allows to aid in the recommendation of CAUPI bean cultivars for forage production and to s...
No melhoramento do feijão-caupi é constante a busca por genótipos superiores. Para fins de avaliação, destacam-se os indivíduos que além de apresentarem altas produtividades atendam as exigências do mercado consumidor. Objetivou-se com esse estudo: (i) verificar a existência de variabilidade genética na população estudada e; (ii) identificar genótipos promissores para compor os ensaios finais de linhagens (EFL)...
A utilização de espécies oleaginosas constitui uma alternativa à busca crescente por biocombustíveis, fazendo com que o pinhão manso venha ganhando destaque pela qualidade do seu óleo e rusticidade. Surge assim uma demanda pelo desenvolvimento de cultivares desta espécie e para isso o conhecimento de sua variabilidade genética é fundamental. Objetivou-se com o presente estudo avaliar a diversidade genética de 2...
The agriculture, especially the fruit growing sector, possesses considerable importance in Ceará economy and to the Nordeste as a whole, pointing to the need to know the characteristics related to the marketing of fruit as well as studies on the behavior of prices of these products. The knowledge of seasonality pattern and trend the prices the products originating from this sector, has significant importance in...
