The aim of the article is to study the sustainable practice and the economic role of the agricultural biodiversity in the more unstable environments of the floodplains, the "sand bars" and "silt bars". The study was carried out in seven communities of the "Setor Muyuy" near the town of Iquitos in 2004. This study also compares the agrobiodiversity of a community in 1999. The methodology used is the same applied by the "People, Land Management and Environmental Change" from United Nations University, which prioritizes experimentation, demonstration and explication of the agricultural systems by farmers themselves. The results show the agricultural systems of sand bars and silt bars vary according to the type of annual sediment. In 2004, agricultural credit is promoted for rice. The agricultural biodiversity in sand bars and silt bars comprised 9 cultures in 1999 and 2 cultures in 2004. Th...

The guapuruvu is pioneer specie by fast growing of legume family with great importance in restoration projects. The aim of the study was to assess the genetic variability of offspring of Schizolobium parahyba through quantitative genetic parameters. The progeny test was installed in a randomized block design in three replications four plants per plot with 60 progenies. Was evaluated plant height, diameter at breast height with the ages: 2, 7, 14, 20 and 66 months and the percentage of survival at 66 months. For the estimates of genetic parameters, the data were analyzed by software SELEGEN. The heritability coefficients at individual level (ĥa2) were higher by height (0.318, 0.012, 0.247, 0.390 and 0.012) compared to DBH (0.021, 0.024 and 0.015) in the 14, 20 and 66 months, respectively. The highest genetic correlation between characters and plant height DBH occurred in the period of 14...
