Translation from text above;

The seed muvuca is a mixture of forest seeds (jatobá, xixá, baru and etc), green manure seeds (pigeon pea, pigeon bean, etc.) and a fill material to homogenize these seeds, such as sand or sawdust

It is a technique of direct seeding for ecological restoration of forest or savannas ecosystems, that instead of planting seedlings, we plant the seeds directly in the soil

Muvuca seeds can be planted manually or mechanized, in the photo the planting was done manually and in pits

In the photo we see a two-year-old muvuca, with exotic invading grasses controlled, pigeon pea making ground cover and amazing, with 5600 trees per hectare with a wealth of 23 species

The girl in the photo is 1.74m tall, so we have a sense of the scale
