To supply the off-season melon market, Europe imports from distant markets in other countries, mainly Brazil. Cold transportation takes at least 15–20 days, thus increasing the risk of quality losses. Moreover, product deliveries, especially in international markets, can result in supply chain inefficiencies that negatively affect carbon footprint ...
The use of pesticides used in the agricultural sector for pest control has caused the deterioration of Colombian arable soils and environmental problems due to their excessive use. As a consequence, interest has arisen in the use of biological agents as an alternative method for disease control. Through qualitative research, literature review and i...
Legumes offer the opportunity to reduce the nitrogen (N) fertilizer requirements of the crop rotation but the capacity of the subsequent crop to recover the N provided by the legume determines the fertilizer saving. Therefore, breeding for genotypes capable of take up N under different limiting conditions is essential for understanding crop perform...
Grain yield and quality assessment based on remote sensing throughout the growth cycle may contribute to achieve efficient and sustainable wheat production. A trial was conducted to test the suitability of a multispectral sensor onboard an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to estimate yield, protein content, and nitrogen (N) output in winter wheat (Tri...
Devido à recente detecção de Meloidogyne enterolobii parasitando o algodoeiro no estado da Bahia, foi realizado um levantamento de espécies do nematoide das galhas em seis municípios desse estado, em áreas com a cultivar 'IMA 5801B2RF' (resistente a M. incognita). Meloidogyne enterolobii poderá causar sérios danos à produção de algodão, devido à su...
Meloidogyne incognita é a espécie de nematoide mundialmente conhecida por infectar o algodoeiro, e a cultivar resistente IMA 5801B2RF foi lançada recentemente no Brasil para o seu controle. Em 2019, a primeira infecção por M. enterolobii em algodão resistente foi relatada no estado de Minas Gerais. Em 2021, o algodoeiro resistente cv. IMA 5801B2RF ...
Biodiversity is a data-intensive science and relies on data from a large number of disciplines in order to build up a coherent picture of the extent and trajectory of life on earth (Bowker 2000). The ability to integrate such data from different disciplines, geographic regions and scales is crucial for making better decisions towards sustainable de...

Multiple studies describe vegetation as a spatial-time-varying complex ecological system, varying in time and space, with non-linear relationships between the different variables. Therefore, developing and implementing methodologies that allow us to broaden our knowledge of the system is essential. Throughout this thesis, the complexity of the clim...
