Palm heart is not Areca

It is always fruitful, merge skills and traditional knowledge on the academic and technical staff for each member, whether the programs mitigatórios flora and fauna in at least four matutos here in the region, connoisseurs of fine woods and accustomed to long walks inside, with snakes, giant mosquitoes and mini mosquitoes etc., and already accustomed to our hot and humid climate and the uphill and downhill mountain region's own.

Moreover, adopting a system of incentives for staff or individual staff involved in Mitigation Programs, proportional units of rare plant species collected per unit and replanted successful, no doubt expand greatly the success of mitigation programs environmental, determined by the competent authority to the concessionaire of the highway.

The savory palm-juçara, Euterpe edulis, is now rare species, because their economic value and wide extraction, since there is no regrowth after cutting. The species Euterpe edulis is one of the most exploited in the Atlantic Forest, and WAR REIS, 1999), but still lingers heavily here in the Hunter Basin, Sierra Cafezal, Régis Bittencourt, Br-116/SP.

It is common knowledge in the backcountry, the difficulty of the replanting of palm-juçara achieve success, unlike the areca-known bamboo, Dypsis lutescens, a palm garden, although both the family Arecaceae (Palmae).

The backwoodsmen have success in replanting the palm-juçara small seedlings with a foot at most, bringing them in clod, to the planting site. Besides having "good hand" to plant, need to deposit the change into the pit, and the earth together with the back of the hoe or other tool calcar well, around the switches to set it on the ground. The people of the region also know that seeds germinate best in the grotto but the young palmiteiro prefer the slopes.

Here in the Cassador Valley River is occurring, the replanting of palmiteiro Euterpe edulis Mart, in lumps, through the programs of reforestation with seedlings to 1, approximately 2 m.

The palms generally beyond the care already mentioned, support transplant, from 1m to adulthood, have several meters high, depending on the size of the root ball and its previous preparation using the process of "bleeding", as routinely occurs in paisagismos performed in parks and gardens of buildings, houses, streets etc..

The process changes the boot without the palm-juçara clod and enter the roots in a plastic bag for later replanting, the percentage of "succes" is practically zero. We bush, which both enjoyed the palm Juçara already know that traditional knowledge acquired by, and we are satisfied that the program of reforestation here in Sierra Cafezal, Br-116, Basin Hunter started well, and has been discarded replaced by the system of lump.

The seedlings of palmiteiro always give us a lot of hope, because it takes to dry. They are like leaves Sunday Palmas.

Cassador Valley River BAsin / Sector ITEREI, sow the palm-juçara decades ago, in packages made with newsprint, formatted in bottles, the method used before in Alta Paulista coffee seedlings for later changes to the palm-grown juçara was planted in situ, always under the shade of larger trees. Yet many do not avenged. Sowing in the shade of palm-juçara for release on own litter, with seeds already prepared for the acceleration of germination in turn always gave very satisfactory results.

Night and day the small and large herbivores of the forest as well as the Moon and Luanni, 2 mares chucras born there, roam the valleys of Cassador Valley River , and also the arrest of former drovers. The animals are curious, often leave trails or are sighted, of other, not. Eventually graze their leaves, but without fatally harming the seedlings of the palm-juçara. Now in March 2013 the Cassador Valley River is full of ripe guavas and araçás, goodies sought by herbivores. To avoid this type of grazing, or trampling of seedlings of palm-juçara heavier by an animal, either a deer or a tapir, the countryman knows that to a greater possibility of success of seedlings of palm-juçara,. must make a cerquinha around each one, or the viability of several of them around "gives a trabalhico more, huh .. is right."

Moreover, the seedlings that juçara palmito-or tumble out of the hole occurs only when they are planted, or were not properly seated in the soil.

It is always fruitful, merge skills and traditional knowledge have on the academic and technical staff for each, whether the programs mitigatórios flora and fauna in at least four matutos here in the region, connoisseurs of fine woods and accustomed to long walks inside, with snakes, giant mosquitoes, mosquitoes etc., and already accustomed to our hot and humid climate and the uphill and downhill mountain region's own.

Moreover, adopting a system of incentives for staff or individual staff involved in Mitigation Programs, proportional units of rare plant species collected per unit and replanted successful, no doubt expand greatly the success of mitigation programs environmental, determined by the competent authority to the concessionaire of the highway.

We can not forget that the vermin, loves inga and its fruits, is the horseshoe, black or native mirim here, all with lush and magnificent flowering species that are included in the programs of environmental mitigation Basin Hunter can also be appreciated by future users of Highway Régis Bittencourt, here in Sierra Cafezal, Br-116, São Paulo.
