Summary of Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares

00:00:00 - 00:25:00

In the YouTube video "Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares," Maria Rira from Embrapa Clima Temperado discusses the launch of three new nectarine cultivars, BRS Kat, BRS Dani, and BRS Janita. These varieties were released simultaneously to provide a longer harvest period for farmers and cater to the preference of major Brazilian markets for sweet and low-acidity fruits. The cultivars have different maturation periods: BRS Kat starts the harvest in late October, followed by BRS Dani in the second decade of November, and BRS Janita in the second week of December. These nectarine varieties were developed to address the trend of importing nectarines from Europe and Chile and to change consumer preferences in Brazil. The video also recognizes the contributions of significant figures in the field of fruit cultivation, including Dani, a young boy who grew up with the researchers, and Janita, the wife of a professor. The use of molecular markers in plant research is discussed as a means to accelerate the identification of specific plant traits, but the growing process still takes several years. New nectarine cultivars, expected to yield around 20 tonnes per hectare, are being made available to farmers through Embrapa and are anticipated to become more widely available to consumers within the next few years. The video refers to AgroA as a dedicated agriculture channel and goes on to discuss potential methods to extend the duration of fruit offerings in orchards.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video "Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares," Maria Rira from Embrapa Clima Temperado discusses the launch of three new nectarine cultivars: BRS Kat, BRS Dani, and BRS Janita. These cultivars were released simultaneously to provide a longer harvest period for farmers, allowing for the availability of these fruits in orchards from late October to the end of December. All three varieties are sweet and low in acidity, which is preferred by major Brazilian markets. The BRS Kat starts the harvest season in late October to early November, followed by BRS Dani in the second decade of November, and BRS Janita in the second week of December. Although the harvest interval is short, the collection of each variety takes around 15 to 20 days. The BRS Janita is the only one with a yellow pulp, which takes longer to mature, allowing it to grow larger fruits with a higher sugar content. Its sugar content is measured on a Bricks scale, and it can reach up to 17 to 22 Bricks in some years. The BRS Janita has a yellow peel with a reddish tint and contains around 80-90% red coloration, while the other two varieties have a more intense red coloration. The BRS Kat and BRS Dani are similar in appearance but differ in their coloration and the time they spend on the tree, with the BRS Kat requiring less cold storage to bloom and flourish in the spring.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares," the speaker discusses the recommended varieties of fruits for cultivation in the southern and southeastern regions of Brazil, particularly the peach and nectarine. While both fruits grow well in these areas due to their requirement for a slightly colder winter, the nectarine is less popular in Brazil compared to the peach. The speaker explains that the peach and nectarine belong to the same family, but the nectarine lacks the fuzzy texture of the peach. The speaker also mentions that there are three botanical varieties of peaches and nectarines: the common peach, the nectarine, and the flat peach. The ongoing focus is on introducing sweeter and less acidic nectarines to the Brazilian market to change consumer preference. The speaker also mentions some nectarine varieties such as Sun Hype and Sunblaze that are currently available in the market.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares" (Offers of longer-lasting fruit in the orchards), the speaker discusses the trend in Brazil towards importing nectarines, particularly those from Europe and Chile, instead of locally produced ones. Although older varieties like Josefina were once popular, modern consumers prefer the reddish color and ornamental value of nectarines for festive tables. However, imported nectarines may not reach the same quality due to longer travel distances and the fact that they are picked green. To keep nectarines at home for longer periods, the ideal is to store them in the refrigerator. However, even at room temperature, they can last for a few days. The speaker then introduces three new nectarine varieties, BRS Janita, Kat, and Dani, developed by Embrapa's fruit genetics research program, which were named following specific rules and paying homage to key figures in the field.
• 00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video entitled "Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares" (Offer of Fruits for Longer in the Orchards), the speaker pays tribute to three significant figures in the field of fruit cultivation. One of them is Dani, a young boy who has accompanied the researchers throughout their studies since he was a child. His family owns a pear orchard and they are currently investing in nectarine production as well.another figure honored is Janita, the wife of a professor, who has always encouraged and supported him and his students. Lastly, Maria is a new cultivar, which took around 15-20 years to be developed from the initial crossing to reach the market. The researchers explain that it takes this amount of time due to the lengthy process from germination to cultivation, selection, cloning, and evaluation. Consumers need to be aware of this long-term commitment in order to appreciate the quality of the final product, such as the delicious and red nectarine they bring out during holiday seasons.
• 00:20:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares", the speaker discusses the advancements in plant research and the use of molecular markers to accelerate the process of identifying specific plant traits. While these markers can expedite the process, the fieldwork and growing process still takes several years, with some pomes (orchards) in Rio Grande do Sul potentially becoming a significant production area for new nectarine cultivars. These new varieties, currently being made available to farmers through Embrapa, are expected to yield around 20 tonnes per hectare and become more widely available to consumers within the next few years, but it may take some time for them to reach the market due to the typical waiting period after a new variety is introduced.
• 00:25:00 In this section of the YouTube video "Oferta de frutas por mais tempo nos pomares" (Offers of Fruits for Longer in the Orchards), the speaker acknowledges the audience's presence and expresses gratitude for their companionship. They go on to introduce AgroA as a dedicated agriculture channel. The video then transitions to a discussion on extending the duration of fruit offerings in orchards. The speaker does not delve into specific details but hints at possible methods to achieve this goal. The video continues with more agriculture-related content.
