Myracrodruon urundeuva as a result of its multiple uses is subject to intense predatory processes of exploitation, causing the decrease of its natural populations. Due to its importance for the conservation of the natural landscape of the caatinga and the use of native species for reforestation and sustainable management programs, this research was carried out in three stages, aiming to: (i) characterize the ph...
Viticulture in the region of the Middle-Lower São Francisco Valley is an outstanding activity, mainly due to the cultivation of seedless table grapes. However, new cultivars of fine table grapes, especially seedless grapes, are constantly being evaluated in tropical regions, as there is an interest in establishing benchmarks and characterizing new genotypes intended for in natura consumption. Thus, the aim of t...
Several insect pests attack the grape culture in the submedium San Francisco Valley example of mealybugs of Pseudococcidae Family. The aim of this study was to find strategies, based on chemical control and from natural products, for the management of mealybugs Planococcus citri (Risso), Phenacoccus solenopsis (Tinsley) and Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), as well as to assess the compatibility of these produc...
