Method Combines Artificial Intelligence and Satellite Imagery to Map Crop-Livestock Integration Systems
Publicado em 01 de fevereiro de 2024
Crop-livestock integration (CLI) systems combine the growing of crops in rotation or consortium, especially grain crops such as soybeans, corn and sorghum, and forage plants used to feed cattle and pigs, with the raising of livestock, typically beef cattle. The crops provide most of the cash income, while the livestock has food available during the dry season and facilitates seed management. CLI improves soil fertility, raises yields and helps rehabilitate degraded areas while reducing the use [...]

Soybean Oil Production Residue Can Be Used to Make a Product That Treats Symptoms of Menopause
Publicado em 12 dezembro 2023Consuming soy foods is often said to be good for women’s health, and much research has been conducted in recent decades to find out whether it can explain why Asian women, whose diet contains plenty of soy foods, have few or none of the usual symptoms of menopause reported by women in the West, such as hot flushes, insomnia, irritability and depression. “Soy isoflavones are important sources of bioactive compounds and belong to the class of phytoestrogens — substances [...]ver notícia -
Review Article Shows Key Role of Brazil in Research on Sugarcane for Bioenergy
Publicado em 28 novembro 2023Publications on sugarcane have increased exponentially since 2006 worldwide, and Brazil has had more articles published on the topic than any other country in the period, according to a review in BioEnergy Research. The number of articles on the subject averaged about five per year between 1999 and 2006 but had reached 327 by 2021. Brazil has twice as many articles on sugarcane as the United States, which ranks first in the world for scientific publications in general. Brazil [...]ver notícia -
Toxins Are Detected In Samples Of Curd Cheese And Artisan Mozzarella In Brazil
Publicado em 26 maio 2023Strictly speaking, cheese should be completely free of aflatoxins, a class of toxic compounds that are produced by certain molds found in food, and can cause liver damage and cancer. In practice, however, the technology used to produce milk and cheese is unable to guarantee the total absence of aflatoxins, as demonstrated by research performed in several countries. In the latest study conducted in Brazil on this subject, a team of researchers analyzed 28 samples of curd cheese and mozzarella [...]ver notícia -
Technique Using Light And Artificial Intelligence Is Effective In Selecting Immature Soybean Seeds
Publicado em 26 agosto 2022Historically based on tradition and experience, the decision-making process in agriculture has been transformed in recent years by technological innovations that scale up production and provide solutions to the challenges posed by pests, natural limitations on arable land and the effects of climate change. Brazilian researchers have developed a technique to help select seeds of soybeans and other legumes in accordance with maturity stages, assuring physiological quality without destroying [...]ver notícia -
Soybean and Linseed Oils Added to Cows' Diet Improve the Quality of Milk
Publicado em 11 maio 2021Inclusion of soybean and linseed oils in the diet of dairy cows made the fatty acid content of their milk even healthier for human nutrition. It also increased the proportions of omega-6 and omega-3, which in the right balance play a key role in preventing cardiovascular diseases, for example, as well as chronic inflammation and some kinds of cancer. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the world’s main public health problems. In Brazil, they are among the foremost causes of death. Each [...]ver notícia -
Technique Based on Artificial Intelligence Permits Automation of Crop Seed Analysis
Publicado em 22 março 2021In Brazil, researchers affiliated with the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture (CENA) and the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ), both part of the University of São Paulo (USP), have developed a methodology based on artificial intelligence to automate and streamline seed quality analysis, a process required by law and currently done manually by analysts accredited with the Ministry of Agriculture. The group used light-based technology like that deployed in plant and [...]ver notícia -
A Research Group Proposes Six Guidelines for Managing the Impacts of Invasive Species
Publicado em 02 março 2021Invasive alien species, defined as animals and plants that breed and disperse in a landscape beyond their native range, have negative environmental, social, and economic impacts. One example among many is the forage grass genus Brachiaria, originally African and introduced to Brazil to form cattle pasture. It has become a major threat to the survival of native species and biodiversity at several spatial scales. Complete eradication of invasive species is often impracticable. Attempts to do so [...]ver notícia
