En este trabajo se han utilizado imágenes satelitales del programa Copernicus para caracterizar los contenidos de clorofila y de agua en hoja de todas las parcelas de un viñedo. Esta caracterización ha permitido la representación gráfica de la variación en el tiempo de dichas imágenes satelitales y replicación de las mismas, en años sucesivos, en la misma parcela o en otras diferentes. En resumen, estudiando la...
In the EU almost 50% of the territory is covered by farmland (both arable and permanent grassland), which means that agriculture plays a key role in land management and has a huge responsibility in the preservation of natural resources.

There is still a deficit of production in winter, but, in summer, production is higher than demand, allowing exportation. At present, there is a positive ratio between zucchini annual exportation/importation values. This means that it is ...
Objetivou– se neste trabalho avaliar a capacidade remediadora das espécies vegetais feijão– de– porco (Canavalia ensiformis) e mucuna– preta (Stizolobium aterrimum), em solo adubado com composto orgânico e contaminado com o herbicida trifloxysulfuron– sodium. Na primeira etapa, avaliou– se o crescimento de C. ensiformis e S. aterrimum nos diferentes substratos, contaminados ou não com herbicida. Os tratamentos ...
