Agronomic performance of arabica coffee genotypes in northwest Rio de Janeiro State
, “Agronomic performance of arabica coffee genotypes in northwest Rio de Janeiro State”, vol. 13, pp. 5664-5673, 2014.
Considering the productive potential of arabica coffee in the Rio de Janeiro State and the shortage of breeding programs for this species in the state, this study aimed to evaluate the vegetative and productive characteristics of 25 arabica coffee genotypes to indicate 1 or more varieties for the northwest Rio de Janeiro region. The experiment was in Varre e Sai, RJ, Brazil, and plants were planted in 2007 with a spacing of 2.5 x 0.8 m.
Phenotype adaptability and stability of sugarcane genotypes in the sugarcane belt of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil
, “Phenotype adaptability and stability of sugarcane genotypes in the sugarcane belt of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil”, vol. 13, pp. 6865-6877, 2014.
We assessed the agroindustrial performance of 25 sugarcane genotypes adapted to the edaphoclimatic conditions of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil, within the microregions Mata Norte, Mata Sul, Região Central, Litoral Norte, and Litoral Sul. The variables analyzed were POL tonnage per hectare, sugarcane tonnage per hectare, fiber and total recoverable sugar tonnage per hectare, using a randomized block design with four repetitions.
Stability and adaptability of popcorn genotypes in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
, “Stability and adaptability of popcorn genotypes in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil”, vol. 11, pp. 3042-3050, 2012.
This study aimed to obtain estimates of stability and adaptability of phase launched materials and materials recommended in the country, for the northern and northwestern regions of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and made a comparative analysis of different methods to evaluate stability and adaptability of grain yield and popping expansion. To this end, 10 genotypes were evaluated (UNB2U-C3, UNB2U-C4, BRS Angela, Viçosa, Beija-Flor, IAC 112, IAC 125, Zélia, Jade, and UFVM2 Barão de Viçosa) in five environments.
Cassava in South America, Brazil’s contribution and the lesson to be learned from India
, “Cassava in South America, Brazil’s contribution and the lesson to be learned from India”, vol. 5. pp. 688-695, 2006.
South America is responsible for about half of the cassava world production. In the 1970’s productivity of the crop on the continent was about 15 ton/ha, and dropped continuously until reaching 12 ton/ha in 2004. India’s productivity of cassava increased from 10 ton/ha in the 1970’s to 28 ton/ha in 2004. Brazil contributed significantly to improving cassava crops through the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The Universidade de Brasília released high-protein content hybrids, apomictic clones and explored the potential of indigenous landraces.
