This paper critically examines Brazil’s legislative framework for pesticide waste management, highlighting recent advancements and persistent challenges. The introduction of Law 14785/2023 marks a pivotal shift in pesticide regulation, streamlining registration processes and enhancing safety measures. This law consolidates various aspects of pestic...
The search for sustainable alternatives to petroleum has driven research on biofuels, with a focus on those derived from organic biomass. This study centres on macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata), a promising oilseed for biodiesel production. Advances in cultivation techniques and the mapping of climatically suitable areas are essential to consolidate the...
Food safety is essential to ensure that food is safe for human consumption, particularly in light of the growing global and environmental changes, including population growth and climate variations. Meeting the increasing demand for food requires enhancing and protecting agricultural systems. A common strategy is the use of pesticides, which serve...
Despite positioning itself as a global reference in hydroelectricity, Brazil faces considerable challenges due to the recent reduction in energy production. The presence of invasive macrophytes in reservoirs, notably Urochloa subquadripara, and the effects of climate change adversely impact the efficiency of hydroelectric plants, including in strat...
A incidência de espécies invasoras tem aumentado nos últimos anos,
causando preocupações significativas devido aos impactos econômicos e à perda de
biodiversidade. O monitoramento precoce dessas invasões é essencial para permitir
intervenções antes que danos irreversíveis ocorram. Nesse contexto, o uso de
tecnologias inovadoras, como aeronaves...
To restore invaded areas, planting fast-growing native species such as Senegalia polyphylla (DC.) Britton & Rose (Fabaceae) is widely used. However, invasive grasses reduce light availability, alter fire regimes, and compete for water and nutrients, hindering the growth of native trees. Fertilization practices influence the competition dynamics bet...
Capim dourado, also known as sedinha, refers to the everlasting flower Syngonanthus nitens (Bong.) Ruhland (Eriocaulaceae), prized for its use in crafting and as a significant income source for communities in Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Tocantins, Brazil. This plant is also utilized in the creation of highly valued jewelry and accessories on the globa...

Advances in agriculture include integrated methods of controlling pests, diseases, and weeds with biocontrollers, which are constantly increasing, along with herbicides. The objective is to present a systematic review of the main reports of herbicide effects on non-target organisms used in applied biological control and those naturally occurring in...
The occurrence of weeds in eucalyptus plantations can cause losses in productivity. Chemical control is widely used, but the efficiency of herbicides depends on management and environmental factors. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of S-metolachlor + glyphosate in the control of grasses in different densities of eucalyptus straw and with...
Invasive macrophytes are considered problematic in natural environments and hydroelectric reservoirs. Climate changes, the occurrences of watercourses, and biotic interactions influence biological invasions of macrophytes. The abundance of native species can be positively or negatively correlated with the occurrences of invasives. Urochloa subquadr...
The pre-emergent herbicide indaziflam is efficient in the management of weeds in eucalyptus crops, but this plant may develop less in soil contaminated with it. The objective was to evaluate the levels of chlorophylls a and b, the apparent electron transport rate (ETR), growth and dry matter of leaves, stems and roots of Clone I144, in clayey soil,...
Invasive macrophytes are considered problematic in natural environments and hydroelectric reservoirs. Climate changes, the occurrence of watercourses, and biotic interactions influence the biological invasion of macrophytes. Native species can correlate with invasives positively or negatively. Urochloa subquadripara is an invasive in natural or dis...
O crescimento, tanto das culturas quanto da braquiária e o picão-preto, depende da habilidade dessas espécies em extrair os recursos do ambiente em que vivem e, na maioria das vezes, o suprimento desses recursos é limitado. Nesse contexto, se a habilidade competitiva da planta infestante for superior poderá manifestar o potencial de supressão das c...
Postemergence application of herbicides can cause phytotoxicity problems in eucalyptus
seedlings. Foliar fertilization can improve seedling development and mitigate the effects of herbicides on eucalyptus. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the sensitivity of eucalyptus clones subjected to herbicides applied postemergence and associat...
Invasive grasses reduce resource availability, mainly nutrients in the soil, and the growth of eucalyptus plants. Efficient management to increase productivity depends on understanding levels of weed interference in eucalyptus plantations. The nutritional efficiency of eucalyptus plants in competition has been evaluated by plant tissue analysis. Th...
Urochloapanicoides P. Beauv. is considered one of the most harmful weeds in the United States and Australia. It is invasive in Pakistan, Mexico, and Brazil, but its occurrence is hardly reported in China and European countries. Species distribution models enable the measurement of the impact of climate change on plant growth, allowing for risk anal...
The invasive exotic plant Melinis minutiflora P.Beauv. is a globally invasive species and impacts the economy, biodiversity, and human well-being. The challenges of biological invasion may be intensified by climate change. The increase in temperatures and concentrations of greenhouse gases may favor the introduction, establishment, and expansion po...
Planted forests include forests established through human planting or deliberate seeding. They are systems that offer us timber and non-timber forest products and ecosystem services, such as wildlife protection, carbon sequestration, soil, and watershed maintenance. Brazil has 7.6 million hectares of planted forests, with 72% of the total area occu...
Estudos sobre competitividade de culturas com plantas daninhas permitem desenvolver estratégias para seu manejo, pois podem definir as características que confiram maior habilidade competitiva às culturas. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com esse trabalho determinar os efeitos da competição das espécies daninhas braquiária e picão-preto e a combinação da...
O presente trabalho foi elaborado a partir de levantamento bibliográfico. Foram consultados trabalhos científicos (artigos, teses e dissertações) publicados entre os anos de 1988 e 2020, que continham dados sobre a utilização da técnica de bioensaio. O bioensaio é utilizado para determinar a existência de resíduos de herbicidas no solo. Em sua real...
