The banana tree is cultivated from north to south of the country and the main cultivars used are susceptible to pests, with low productivity and some are very tall. The project aims to continue the banana breeding program underway since 1983 and aims to create and agronomically evaluate banana genotypes; assess resistance / tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses; develop basic studies aimed at generating knowledge for pest control in support of the breeding program; use tissue culture techn ...Status: Completed Start date: 01/02/2008 |
The project aims to develop and / or recommend cultivars of bananas and plantains resistant to the main pests (nematodes and rhizome borers) and diseases (Sigatoka-black or Sigatoka-yellow or wilt Fusarium) with agronomic and sensory characteristics aligned with the main demands of the Brazilian fruit agribusiness.The research is carried out based on conventional breeding, via crossbreeding, adding advanced biology tools, with a focus on reducing time and increasing efficiency in the selection o Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
Develop and or recommend banana and plantain cultivars with resistance to the main pests (nematodes or rhizome borer) and diseases (black Sigatoka or yellow Sigatoka or Panama desease), and with agronomic and sensory characteristics aligned with the main demands of Brazilian fruit agribusiness. The strategy uses conventional breeding via crosses, adding advanced biology tools, focusing on reducing time and increasing the efficiency of selection of promising genotypes in the progenies, aiming at Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2017 |
The overall objective is to develop disease-resistant banana and plantain cultivars with an agronomic and sensory profile in line with market demands. Status: In progress Start date: 01/07/2021 |
Develop an agricultural process to adapt management practices that mitigate the effects of the presence of Fusarium wilt in banana production areas in the Chapada do Apodi region (Ceará). Status: In progress Start date: 01/06/2021 |
The proposal presents an innovative solution, which is to validate candidate drought tolerance genes through genetic transformation (cisgeny) for the development of a banana variety with efficient use of water and a case study with CRISPR/cas9 via gene knock-out PDS (phytoene desaturase) as a model for the species. Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2021 |
The objective is jointly validate new banana and plantain cultivars; as well as to adapt management practices aimed at mitigating the effects of the presence of Fusarium wilt or Panama disease in banana production areas in the regions of Lassance, Nova Porteirinha, Capitão Enéias, Jaíba and Verdelândia located in the north of the State of Minas Gerais. Status: In progress Start date: 01/10/2019 |
The general objective of the project is to reduce water use in irrigation of banana and papaya with localized irrigation systems in interaction with soil cover and unconventional methods of water management. Status: Completed Start date: 01/08/2020 |
Irrigation is the largest consumer of available water resources and the project will act on one of the main bottlenecks of this higher water consumption through irrigation, which is the management of water that enters the producers' plots and maintains a high water demand. The objective goal is to provide alternatives for increasing the water use efficiency of banana, papaya and pineapple fruit. The alternatives to be explored are the use of plant density increase for the banana tree; the use of Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
The project seeks to give sustainability to germplasm banks of exotic fruit species of tropical, subtropical and temperate climate. Eleven work plans include enrichment, conservation and maintenance activities, characterization and documentation of fruit germplasm banks: avocado, acerola, banana, citrus, apple, papaya, mango, strawberry, pear, pests (plum, peach, nectarine) and grape. Enrichment will be done through collection and exchange. Conservation of access will be conducted predominantly Status: Completed Start date: 01/01/2019 |
