A gramínea Urochloa ruziziensis [(Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R. D. Webster (sin. Brachiaria ruziziensis) [Hochst. ex A. Rich Stapf] fonte de pastejo para o gado é atacada por Sipha flava (Forbes) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), causando danos às plantas. Uma alternativa sustentável no controle biológico destes insetos é usar fungos entomopatogênicos. Assim, obje...
The forage Urochloa ruziziensis ((R. Germ. and C.M. Evrard) Crins (synonym Brachiaria ruziziensis) (Poales: Poaceae)) has great potential to be adopted as pasture. However, this forage is susceptible to spittlebugs, the main insect pest of pastures in Brazil. Thus, the objective of this study was to select genotypes of U. ruziziensis resistant to D...
Elephant grass is an allogamous perennial forage crop with asexual propagation, allowing plant breeders to explore heterosis and develop hybrids. However, selecting parents for diallel crossing schemes is a major hurdle in the development of hybrids. In addition, this perennial crop has several harvests, which increases the dataset size and the com...
Species of the genus Cynodon are among the most cultivated forage crops in the world due to their high yield and nutritional quality, and its use in cattle feeding has been associated with gains in animal weight and increased milk production. The objective of this study was to model covariance structures in Cynodon spp. clones and study the changes...
S. scabra is an important forage and extremophilic plant native to the Brazilian Caatinga semiarid region. It has only recently been subjected to omics-based investigations, and the generated datasets offer insights into biotechnologically significant candidates yet to be thoroughly examined. INSs (inositol and its derivatives) and RFO (raffinose o...

Mesmo com expressiva participação da agropecuária no PIB nacional, o setor ainda apresenta grande potencial de crescimento, desde que se invista na recuperação de pastagens degradadas e na adoção de práticas de manejo adequadas.
Livestock sector generates significant environmental impacts despite its global economic importance. The current challenge is to find sustainable ways of boosting this sector, while mitigating the negative impacts of this activity. In Brazil, degraded pastures are common because of inadequate management, damaging the soil. Integrated livestock-fore...
O capim elefante se destaca pelo potencial produtivo, qualidade da forragem e aceitação pelos animais. No entanto, seu porte alto dificulta o manejo sob pastejo e cultivares anãs têm sido selecionadas e avaliadas para superar essa limitação. Objetivouse caracterizar aspectos agronômicos de genótipos de capim-elefante anão submetidos a duas intensid...
Abstract: Livestock production in semi-arid areas has been unpredictable due to climate variability, mainly rainfall. This study aims to simulate rangeland production variability aff ected by rainfall over time and relate it to an adjusted carrying capacity, using forage stock to maximize the potential of production of the system to a specifi c gua...
