Effects of macauba cake on profile of rumen protozoa of lambs [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2017
The present study was conducted to determine the effects of the inclusion of macauba cake, from biodiesel processing, on profile of rumen protozoa of Santa Ines lambs. Twenty-four lambs were randomized in block design supplemented with macauba cake at 0,

Structure of AMF Community in an Agroforestry System of Coffee and Macauba Palm [PDF]

Floresta e Ambiente, 2021
Coffee crop in Brazil is typically grown as a monoculture. However, we hypothesized that agroforestry system is favorable association for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), affecting its community structure and potentially impacting crop productivity ...

Genetic diversity of macauba from natural populations of Brazil [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2015
The macauba has been identified as the most promising native species for the production of vegetable oil and biomass. Several studies confirm its potential for numerous purposes (liquid and solid biofuels, food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals), but this Brazilian biodiversity resource has been little explored, and work aimed at their domestication and ...

Macauba production estimated by regression models [PDF]

Científica, 2019
Macauba has been shown to be the most promising native species for oil and biomass production. The first com­mercial crops have arisen mainly in Minas Gerais State, and estimates indicate a vegetable oil yield potential above 8 t ha-1. In this context, research has acted strongly on technological advance for improvements in the pro­duction system and ...

Herbicide selectivity on macauba seedlings and weed control efficiency

Industrial Crops and Products, 2020
Abstract Seedlings of macauba (Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart.) palm spend ∼10 months in nursery before being taken to the field. Since there are no registered herbicides for macauba, weed control in seedling containers is done manually; however, macauba leaves have thorns that injure workers' hands.
