Summary of Melhoramento genético do feijão-caupi

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

The video discusses the expansion and genetic improvement of feijão calpi , a traditional crop from the northeast region of Brazil. The program of genetic improvement conducted by the Embrapa Meio Norte in Teresina, Piauí, has resulted in new cultivars with modern architecture and faster, more uniform maturation. These cultivars have improved resistance to diseases and pests, larger, more uniform grains, higher quality and nutritional content, and are highly valued by consumers. The genetic improvement has had a positive impact on the health of the population, particularly children and the elderly, and has improved the overall quality of the production chain.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the video, the expansion of the feijão calpi, also known as feijão de corda, is discussed. This traditional crop from the northeast region of Brazil has been cultivated for centuries and was well adapted to local climatic conditions and low-cost production. However, the program of genetic improvement of feijão calpi conducted by the Embrapa Meio Norte in Teresina, Piauí, has taken genetic improvement to the next level by creating a product of high quality and low cost. This has attracted the attention of farmers, merchants, and consumers worldwide. The program of genetic improvement of feijão calpi focused on developing cultivars with modern architecture, semi-erect with short pedunculos and ramos, faster and more uniform maturation, larger, more uniform grains with higher quality and nutritional content. These cultivars have high value, low cost of production and production, and are highly valued by consumers. Moreover, these cultivars have improved resistance to diseases and pests, as well as the stability and control of the quality of the entire production chain, from planting to consumption. Finally, the genetic improvement of feijão calpi has had a positive impact on the health of the population, especially children who are at higher risk of malnutrition in populations with low-access to healthy food, and in the elderly population, whose health requires greater attention, such as zinc, which is important for their immunity.
