    Projeto de bioprospecção e desenvolvimento sustentável - defensivos naturais - cultivo da planta Nim para uso na cultura de café
    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2020-06-15) BARBOSA, Paulo Leme Pinheiro; CHAGAS, Eliana Pereira; Faria, Otávio Augusto
    Studies carried out by federal and governmental institutions linked to agriculture have already proven the effectiveness of Neem oil and cake in the prevention of diseases and pests in the coffee crop (borer, leaf miner, red spider mite). However, its use in practice is little encouraged and restricted to very few cases in our region, limited to those farmers who already use organic practices. The traditional trade of agricultural products in the cities of the region does not sell Nim oil, which is advertised on the websites of larger companies of agricultural products. The conclusions of the bibliographical review on the use of Nim products, led to the decision to choose a risk-assessed business plan, with low investment to meet the needs of a medium-sized coffee farm, aiming to initiate alternative practices with the use of natural defensives and at the same time invest in planting Nim, in the future in its processing for its own use.
