The inoculation of growth-promoting bacteria has already shown benefits in different cultures such as increased biomass production for the growth of roots and stems, greater resistance to water stress conditions and changes in their physiological properties. Plant growth promoting bacteria have stood out for their potential application in plant production, allowing the reduction of the use of fertilizers and pe...
The cultivation of vegetables in Brazil, explored in a familiar way, has grown considerably, driven by the demand for healthy food. Vegetables can become more profitable and profitable when they are managed properly. Thus, the knowledge of the agronomic profile related to the ways in which cultivated species and crops are managed can direct strategies of sustainability and credibility before the market. In this...
Physalis alkekengi is an ornamental plant that can also be used as a medicinal plant due to its anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antitumor and fungicidal properties. Polyploidization can be an important tool in the genetic improvement of this species. The objective this work was to obtain tetraploids in vitro and to evaluate the phytotechnical traits of P. alkekengi. For this, nodal segments of P. alkekengi var...
Although the demand for organic fertilizers in agriculture is growing, it remains incipient in some production sectors, such as medicinal plant production, which does not possess specific technology for its development. Solid residues are highly contaminant to water sources, soil, populations and biodiversity but can potentially be used to produce organic composts and vermicompost, such production not only enab...
Banana cultivation is an agricultural activity practiced in different regions and constantly subjected to abiotic stresses that limit its productivity. To treat the effect of these stresses research can be undertake by simulating them in vitro since it limit the effect of the external factor in the experiment. Therefore, the objective of this study was to simulate the compaction in banana plant cultivated in vi...
Macauba (Acrocomia aculeata), also known as macauba palm, is a good source of vegetable oil in tropical America. Its fruits are highly suitable for biodiesel production owing to the high quantity and quality of its oil. However, commercial exploitation of this species remains insufficient. Forms of harvesting, the storage period, and the use of chemicals for the postharvest preservation of macauba fruits and th...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; The macaw palm [Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. Martius ex] presents itself as a promising source of vegetable oils, especially as feedstock for biodiesel production. This is due to the high oil content in the mesocarp and almond fruit, the ability to take full utilization of these fruits, besides the great adaptability of this species to climatic ...
