 The Growing Up Use of Pesticides in Brazil Compared with the World


Authored by Eduardo José Azevedo Corrêa

It is not a surprise that a number of world citizens are growing faster and faster, at 2010 we are at near of the 7 billion of human being and this year we have almost one billion more people following the Malthus’ curve [1].

With higher the population more food is necessary. It is known that the food requirement by a person change with age and some other individual parameters, it is estimated that a minimum energy requirement is about 1690 - 1650 kcals/person/day [2]. Considering this numbers, we need and amount of food to provide 11.830.000.000.000 kcals every day in food to feed all person around the world. It is a big amount of food and energy.

With this great challenge, all the nations around the world and your government have been faced by big problem. How to produce food in quantity and quality without degrade the ecosystems and extinct the species and your habitats.

This mini review is based on FAOSTAT data and shows how faster are the increase in pesticide usage at Brazil compared with the world. The FAOSTAT data show a high use of pesticides around the world, the only places that are pesticides free in world are Greenland and Antarctic continent. In the other places the pesticides usage is spreading fast and fast, in average the use of pesticide in world is 6.028.123 tones (Figure 1), with the Brazil occupying the third place with 360.000 tones in pesticide use in agriculture.
Pesticides Usage Growing in Brazil

In this Mini review we briefly point how faster the use of pesticides are growing in agriculture from Brazil, I here use Open data from FAO [3] and R programming analysis. The total pesticide usage is growing faster in Brazil, mainly promoted by the herbicides and insecticides (Figure 2).

Growth Response of Heterobranchus Longifilis Fingerlings Fed Diets Supplemented with Moringa Oleifera Leaf Meal as Replacement of Soybean Meal Authored by Ibiyo Lenient MO Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of the world‘s animal production with an annual increase of about 10% [1]. To sustain such high rates of increase in production, a matching increase in fish feed production is imperative. Because fish meal is a limited primary source and plants are widely available and reasonably priced, the use of plant protein sources in aqua feeds should be considered [2]. Therefore, in order to attain more economically sustainable, environmentally friendly and viable production, research interest has been directed towards the evaluation and use of non-conventional sources of plant and animal protein. Soybean meal is one of the most nutritious of all plant protein sources because of its high protein content, high digestibility, and relatively well-balanced ami no acid profile [3]. Owing t...
