1. Analyzing complexities in the Brazilian soybean supply chain: a systems thinking and modeling approach
Abstract Purpose This study aims to analyze the complexities of the Brazilian soybean supply chain (SSC) and develop strategic interventions to improve the origin system’s performance. Design/methodology/approach This study used stakeholder interviews to identify the SSC bottlenecks and determine and assess drivers of competitiveness. A methodological fr

2. Phytonematode population dynamics in common bean cultivation under crop rotation and no-tillage conditions
ABSTRACT Strategies for conserving natural resources and reducing agricultural inputs are the great challenge for agriculture, such as sustainable alternatives to control agricultural pests of high economic impact, e.g. plant-parasitic nematodes. This work aimed to evaluate phytonematode’s population dynamics in common bean cultivation grown under crop rot

3. Water footprint of Arabica coffee from “Matas de Minas” under shade management
ABSTRACT Studies related to climate change and agricultural value chains have in common the growing concern on conserving water resources. Thus, the concept of the water footprint stands out, which measures the amount of water (in volume) necessary to produce a unit (in mass) of a given product. Among Brazilian agricultural activities, coffee farming emerges

4. ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF AGRICULTURAL TRACTORS EQUIPPED WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AND FULL POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT The efficiency of agricultural tractor transmission has been improved over the years, with new concepts such as Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and Full Powershift (FPS) evolving in advanced technologies. Both options seek to offer the farmer greater operational results with lower energy expenditure, necessitating studies to assess the effe

5. Least limiting water range in Oxisol under two conservation tillage systems in sugarcane farming
ABSTRACT The Least Limiting Water Range (LLWR) is an indicator of soil physical quality, contributing in information to propose soil management systems in agricultural farming process. This work aimed to assess the usage of LLWR and critical soil bulk density for physical-water quality evaluations, as well as its effect on sugarcane farming under no-tillage

6. CHARACTERIZATION OF GEOSPATIAL, MORPHOMETRIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS OF THE MARIANA MICROBASIN IN ALTA FLORESTA-MT, BRAZIL
ABSTRACT River basin environmental diagnosis and monitoring are fundamental for water resource use and conservation plans, as these systems integrate different landscape elements and may undergo impacts and changes of different levels and scales. In this context, this work aimed to characterize the geospatial, morphometric, and environmental dynamics in the

7. ADSORPTION OF ATRAZINE IN RICE HUSK BIOCHARS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL MODEL APPLIED TO EQUILIBRIUM AND KINETIC STUDIES
ABSTRACT Atrazine is an herbicide used to remove weeds in agricultural crops; however, because it is considered toxic, options for removing it from the environment are needed. Adsorption on biochar is an efficient technique for removing organic contaminants. In this study, the atrazine adsorption capacities of two biochars (BCA400 and BCA700) produced from r

8. Selectivity and residual weed control of pre-emergent herbicides in soybean crop
ABSTRACT The use of pre-emergent herbicides is important for the current agricultural production systems that present weeds resistant to herbicides. Considering the complexity of using these products, the objective of this work was to evaluate their selectivity and residual weed control in soybean crops and their effect on the weeds Amaranthus hybridus, Bide

9. FUZZY MODELING OF THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT IRRIGATION DEPTHS ON THE RADISH CROP. PART I: PRODUCTIVITY ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT The productivity of a crop is related to the water demand inserted in its development. The measurement of water and its optimization directly influences the final costs of crop production for agricultural producers. In this sense, the objective of this study is evaluating the fuzzy modeling in estimating the productivity of the radish crop (fresh ph

10. Conservation system improves soil microbial quality and increases soybean yield in the Northeastern Cerrado
ABSTRACT The conservation tillage systems is based on the surface protection by crop residue and reduced soil disturbance. These two principles can favor the soil quality and promote sustainable agricultural systems. The study was developed with the objective of measure soil microbial biomass, soil basal respiration, enzymatic activity and soybean yield in c

11. Achados de fundoscopia de pacientes diabéticos e/ou hipertensos
ABSTRACT Soil compaction in agricultural areas has greatly increased in recent decades due to intensive farming practices, including short-cycle crops and machinery intensification. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of management systems on the physical quality of a dystrophic Yellow Oxisol, in the Cerrado region of Brazil. Treatments consisted of fiv
