LABORATORIES
Instrumental Chemistry Laboratory (LQI-UFMG)
LQI-UFMG performs the following analyzes:
- Analysis of metals (soil, sewage sludge, food, water, etc.)
- Analysis of essential oils (medicinal plants)
- Analysis of plant extracts (plants and wood)
- Analysis of chemical contaminants (environmental and food)
- Fatty acid analysis (biofuel and plant oils)
- Determination of Antioxidant Activity (Food and plants)
- Analysis of hormones in plants
- Determination of pesticide residues in environmental and food matrices
3) Microscopy, Microanalysis and Plant Biology Laboratory
The Microscopy, Microanalysis and Plant Biology Laboratory has been operating since 2018 at the Agricultural Sciences Research Center (CPCA) of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences at UFMG, Campus Montes Claros. Its main objective is the development of research in the areas of Anatomy, Development and Plant Reproduction, through the use of Light Microscopy techniques. In the future, the laboratory will also allow the analysis and characterization of different samples, biological or not, through a Scanning Electron Microscope and an Electronic Microprobe, both equipment in the installation phase
4) Plant Phenotyping Laboratory
The Plant Phenotyping Laboratory, coordinated by Professor Alcinei Místico Azevedo and with Professor Thiago Braz as vice-coordinator, is located in CPCA1 but is expected to move to Block B of the ICA. This laboratory is exclusively dedicated to research activities, and the research group working in the laboratory is the Artificial Intelligence, Biometrics, Genetic Improvement and Forage Farming research group. It does not provide any services and the main objective of the laboratory is to support field research. Among future projects and demands, we highlight the need for support for biometric evaluations of plants collected in experiments conducted on the farm.
5) POLLUTION CONTROL LABORATORY
The Pollution/Soil Control Laboratory is coordinated by Professor Leidivan Frazão Almeida and is under the vice-coordination of Professor Luiz Arnaldo Fernandes. The laboratory also has a technical-administrative staff member, Ismael de Jesus Ferreira Amorim, who holds a master’s degree. The laboratory is located in CPCA I and specifically works with research activities. The current line of research is: Dynamics of organic matter in agricultural, livestock and forestry systems, linked to the study group on Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration Systems. Among the main objectives of the laboratory, we highlight: to perform analyses of soil organic matter and its constituents, plant material, and residues of industrial and agricultural origin. The following laboratory analyses are performed: pH, organic carbon and total nitrogen of soil/plant/residue, soil microbial carbon and nitrogen, respirometry and enzymatic analyses of soil, soil and particle density, soil and residue moisture, extraction of macro and micronutrients from soil, chemical and physical fractionation of soil organic matter. Future demands include: expansion of a room for preparing soil samples for research. An expansion is planned to meet the demands of ongoing projects when greenhouse gas emissions are assessed by the agricultural sector.
- GEOTECHNOLOGY AND PRECISION AGRICULTURE LABORATORY
The Geotechnology and Precision Agriculture laboratory is coordinated by Professor Rodinei Facco Pegoraro. The laboratory is located at CPCA I and operates in the teaching and research segments. The laboratory is active and teaches the subject of Plant Mineral Nutrition. In the research segment, the laboratory provides support to the study group Plant Nutrition and Use of Waste in Agriculture – GENURA. Among the research lines, we highlight: Fertilization and nutrition of fruit trees; Use of images in the nutritional diagnosis of plants; Mineralization of Nutrients from Plant Waste; and Nutrition and Fertilization Management of Leguminous Vegetables. The main objective of the laboratory is to promote the development of scientific and technological research related to the research lines in plant nutrition and use of waste in agriculture, in an integrated manner with the academic community and national productive sectors. Among the current and future demands, we mention: a) Structure: acquisition and installation of cabinets, benches, tables and utensils for office organization and b) Equipment: drone with infrared camera, Atomic Absorption spectrophotometer, spectroradiometer, high-performance computer.
- PLANT PATHOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY LABORATORY
The Plant Pathology and Pathology Laboratory is part of the Basic Cycle laboratory complex, in block D, and began operating in 2011. The laboratory is supported by technical staff member Everson de Souza Silva. Its main activities are practical classes in the disciplines of Basic Phytopathology, Applied Phytopathology and Forest Pathology, in the Agronomy and Forestry Engineering courses. Currently, research is also being conducted in Forest Microbiology and Forest Pathology, developing work in the areas of diagnosis and management of diseases of forest importance, in native species of the cerrado and dry forest, and in exotic species.
8) Weed Biology and Management laboratory
The Weed Biology and Management Laboratory was created in 2010, mainly aiming at developing research and supporting teaching and extension activities in this specific area. The Laboratory is the main support structure for the Research Group “Weeds: biology, integrated management and herbicide application technology”, which seeks to develop research and provide qualified professional training in agricultural production systems. The group’s main research lines are: Weed Biology, Herbicide x Plant x Environment Interaction, Integrated Weed Management and Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration.
9) Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Laboratory
The Laboratory of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, created in 2001, has been developing research, teaching and extension activities. The laboratory is linked to the Research Group “Genetic Resources of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants”, and is developing the research lines “Conservation, management and cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants” and “Genetic resources”. The laboratory supports the various activities developed at ICA in the area of medicinal and aromatic plants: undergraduate and graduate teaching, analysis of chemical constituents of plants and support for agricultural experimentation. The laboratory is located at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences of UFMG, in Montes Claros, in block A and at CPCA.
- Soils Analysis Laboratory
The soil analysis laboratory of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences of UFMG began its activities of providing services for teaching, research and extension in 1978 and has been part of the Interlaboratory Program for Analysis Control of the State of Minas Gerais – Profert/MG since 1985, when Profert/MG was created. Currently, the soil analysis laboratory provides services in chemical and physical analysis of soils.
Experimental Farm
The Professor Hamilton de Abreu Navarro Experimental Farm (FEHAN) is a complementary body of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences (ICA), comprising a physical area of 232 hectares. Located on the Montes Claros Regional Campus, FEHAN’s purposes are: to support and collaborate, primarily, with the ICA community in teaching, research and extension; to support other Units and Departments of UFMG, through specific instruments, in their didactic-scientific activities and institutional development; and to enable the holding of courses, internships, seminars, technical visits and field days.
