Islamic banking is a multidisciplinary field that integrates banking and fiqh muamalat using mathematical, statistical, computational, and economic models. Islamic banking is dependent on the development of Islamic financial transactions for its growth. Islamic banking applications in are emerging not only as means of enhancing financial results but also as means of enhancing the sustainability and productivity of the economy. This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive systematic bibliometric analysis of Islamic banking literature. It starts by finding 3,285 documents published in the Scopus database from January 1983 to October 2021. This paper, using bibliometric analysis, describes the most significant literature, denotes the related discipline fields, and offers insight into the existing research patterns and possible future trends in Islamic banking. The financial crisis has revolutionised Islamic banking as an interesting alternative to the fragile current banking system. The findings establish a solid grounding for future research in the field of Islamic banking.
إنسانية الشريعة الإسلامية
Authors: ربيع احمد
Published: December 2021

اتصفت الشريعة الإسلامية بالطابع الإنساني في تشريعها للأحكام كونها الشريعة الخاتمة لكافة الشرائع السماوية، وقد تجلت تلك النظرة الإنسانية من خلال الأحكام التي نظمت علاقة المسلم بغيره من بني الإنسان في وقت السلم والحرب، فعملت الشريعة على صيانة الإنسان فحفظت له نفسه وجعلتها أشد حرمة من الكعبة المشرفة، وجعلت قتل النفس قتلا للناس جميعا، ثم راعت تحقيق مصلحة المكلفين كمقصد شرعي أصيل؛ فأينما وجدت المصلحة فثم شرع الله، وتوجهت بخطابها التشريعي إلى المسلم وغير المسلم مراعية الأبعاد الإنسانية في العديد من الأحكام؛ فشرعت الرخص المخففة لبعض التكاليف، وأمرت بتأخير العقوبة مراعاة للظروف الإنسانية، وراعت حق الزوجة على زوجها وقدمته على حق الجهاد، وفي مجال الحرب عالجت الشريعة الإسلامية الحرب بشكل فيه احترام لآدمية الإنسان سواء من حيث المبادئ التي تقوم عليها الحرب التي تغيت فيها البعد الإنساني الذي يجعل من السلم أساسا للعلاقة بين الناس جميعا ونظرتها للحرب على أنها استثناء في أساس العلاقة مع غير المسلم، كما أنها وصفت الحرب بأنها كره لما لها من آثار تخريبية في حق الإنسان الذي هو خليفة الله في أرضه أيا كان جنسه ومعتقده، أو من حيث الأحكام التفصيلية التي نظمت سير العمليات العدائية، فرسخت مبدأ الفروسية ومبدأ الضرورة الحربية ومنعت الغدر بالعدو وحرمت قتال من لم يقاتل وأمرت بالإحسان إلى الأسير إلى غير ذلك من الأحكام التي خففت من قسوة الحرب ووضعتها في إطار استثنائي يحفظ للإنسان كرامته ويصون له آدميته.
EUTHANASIA AND ISLAMIC RULINGS PERTINENT TO MAINTAINING AND REMOVING ARTIFICIAL LIFE SUPPORT DEVICES
Authors: Alrahawan Muhammad
Published: December 2021

This paper is intended to elaborate on the legal ruling of removing life support from a brain-dead person. Brain death means the permanent absence of brainstem and cerebral functions, not only the death of the brain cortex. Life support devices restore the functions of the heart and respiratory system, which sometimes result in the full recovery of consciousness of the patient and all of his basic functions. It is possible for the patient to restore normal breathing and leave the hospital in a full healthy state. On this basis, it is not permissible for a doctor to remove these devices before the brainstem dies, otherwise this would cause a real and irreversible death of the patient. In this case, the doctor bears full civil and criminal responsibility. The doctor is held accountable if he refrains from providing assistance to this patient who is legally and medically alive. It is permissible to remove artificial life devices once the death of the brain is ascertained in the light of the above-mentioned diagnoses. Then, the patient will be transferred to another room, but his death is announced only after the heart stops functioning. It is from this moment that the rulings of death are applied. The responsibility of removing these devices and declaring death is the work of a specialized medical committee that approves the diagnosis and issues a burial permit.
Molten Oxide Electrolysis: Metal recovery and primary processing?
Authors: Bishop Catherine
Published: December 2021

Molten oxide electrolysis has the potential to be a more efficient method to produce metals with near zero CO_2 emissions compared to traditional methods. If metals can be produced from industrial by-products, such as slags, then the environmental and sustainability benefits are considerable. Our team uses thermodynamic predictions coupled with high-temperature molten oxide electrochemical experiments to explore the opportunities and limitations of this approach.

In this talk, I’ll show how we used these methods to characterise the selective reduction of titanium from steelmaking slag. Due to the complex composition of the industrial material, we studied the reduction of titanium from model pseudo-quinary metal oxide melts. Co-reduction of silicon and titanium was achieved with sufficient ionic transport in the oxide melt such that salt-free electrolytes could be used, avoiding the environmental impact of halides. Model binary oxide systems were sought to simplify the electrolyte for titanium extraction and to reduce the operating temperature to about 1100˚C. We identified alkali metal oxides as candidates based on thermodynamic predictions. Our work on these simpler systems, illustrates the challenges of characterising electrochemical behaviour of transition metal molten oxides at elevated temperatures.

In new work, we turn our attention to primary production of critical metals. We focus on Ta and Nd, two technology-critical metals. I’ll discuss the characteristics of high temperature electrolytic melts that allow for the extraction of metals, and the opportunities and challenges of molten oxide electrolysis to obtain selected metals from mixtures of chemically similar elements.
Artrópodos. Producción de grillos de forma sustentable
Authors: Cruz Fagua Diego , Arévalo Arévalo Helbert , Vernot Diana
Published: December 2021

En 2018, la Universidad de La Sabana y la empresa ArthroFood aunaron esfuerzos para estructurar el proyecto de investigación Cría de grillos para la alimentación humana. Fomento del biocomercio en acompañamiento de mujeres rurales en el municipio de La Mesa, Cundinamarca. ArthroFood, empresa cuyo propósito es la cría de insectos para el consumo humano, ha visto la oportunidad de aportar en el sector industrial de la alimentación a través de una alternativa más sostenible: cría de grillos en condiciones de invernadero. Aunque en varias partes del mundo los insectos han jugado un papel importante en la nutrición humana, como ocurre en Colombia con las hormigas culonas y el mojojoy (larva de un escarabajo, propio de la región amazónica colombiana) -entre los más reconocidos-, la sistematización y estandarización del proceso de cría de estos animales es novedoso. La producción animal para alimentar al mundo se basa, pero no de manera exclusiva, en animales como la res, el cerdo y el pollo. Para el año 2020, en Colombia se estimó que una persona come al año aproximadamente 10,8 kg de carne de cerdo, 34,2 kg de carne de pollo, 7,7 kg de pescado y 17,1 kg de carne de res (Fedegán, 2020). En lo ambiental, mantener esta producción es riesgoso si se quiere mitigar los efectos del cambio climático. Estudios advierten la necesidad de disminuir la producción de carnes rojas en un 90 %, no solo por la cantidad de gases invernadero que causa su producción de forma extensiva, sino también por el alto gasto de agua que la ganadería provoca. Por esto, la domesticación de los insectos puede ser una gran iniciativa para mejorar las condiciones ambientales en el mundo, así como aporte nutricional para poblaciones que padecen de hambre.

Effect of Trendelenburg position during prone ventilation in fifteen COVID-19 patients. Observational study
Authors: Su Marissa , Yamasaki Kimiyo , Daoud Ehab
Published: December 2021

Background Prone position ventilation has shown to improve oxygenation and mortality in severe ARDS. The data of prone position ventilation during severe ARDS secondary to COVID-19 have shown similar benefit in oxygenation and mortality. Usually, patient placed in prone position are placed flat or in reverse Trendelenburg positioning to decrease risk of aspiration and abdominal girth compressing the chest. To date, no studies are available to compare the effects of positioning the bed in different angles during the prone position ventilation. Methods An observational study in fifteen patients with severe ARDS secondary to COVID-19 who were placed in the prone position for the first time. All the patients were sedated and chemically paralyzed with no spontaneous effort. All patients were ventilated with the pressure-controlled mode with set PEEP according to the pressure-volume curves. Five patients had esophageal balloon manometry to estimate pleural pressures and trans-pulmonary pressures. Patients were initially placed in reverse Trendelenburg position and later in Trendelenburg position. Tidal volume and respiratory compliance were observed for 30 minutes after bed positioning has been achieved. Tidal volume and total respiratory compliance in both Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg position were compared. Ventilator settings were not changed during the observation. No patients were suspected of increased intra-cranial or intra-ocular pressures. T-test was done to compare the values. Results Tidal volume significantly increased by 80.26 ± 23.4 ml/breath (95% CI 37.7 - 122.9) from 391.3 ± 52.7 to 471.6 ± 60.9 (20.5%) P 0.001. The respiratory system compliance significantly increased by 4.9 ml/cmH2O (95% CI 1.4 - 8.4) from 34.6 ± 4.7 to 39.5 ± 4.6 (14%) P 0.001. Of the five patients with esophageal balloon, the lung compliance significantly increased by 16.7 ml/cmH2O (95% CI 12.8 – 20.6) from 66.6 ± 1.7 to 83.3 ± 3.3 (25%) P 0.001. The chest wall compliance had small but non-significant increase by 1.5 ml/cmH2O (95% CI -1.3 – 4.3) from 65 ± 1.4 to 66.5 ± 2.3 (2%) P 0.085. Conclusion In this study, statistically significant increase in tidal volume, lung and respiratory system compliance were observed in patients placed in the Trendelenburg position during prone position ventilation. The results reflect the effect of body positioning during prone position ventilation. These effects may be the reflection of altered ventilation distribution throughout the lungs and change in pleural pressure as well as trans-pulmonary pressure during body positioning. More studies need to be done to confirm and examine this phenomenon. Precautions should be taken as this maneuver can increase the intra-cranial and intra-ocular pressures.

Towards a sustainable road transportation system in urban areas: A case study of Owerri, Nigeria
Authors: Onyeka JO  , Obi LE  , Igiri VC
Published: December 2021

Urban Areas in almost all cases develop outwards from the centre. Public facilities (schools, offices, markets) are usually located at about the centre while residential abodes radiate outwards. Such development pattern necessitates road transportation movement to the centre. This paper examines strategies that can be adopted to achieve the necessary movement in a sustainable manner for these urban areas, with Owerri Nigeria as a case study. A field study was conducted to ascertain the total passenger requirement, number and mix of passenger vehicles as well as measure three main road transport-induced air pollutants. The result of the field work showed existing commuter vehicles mix of 56.2:63.7: 19.6:1.6:1 for salons, wagons, mini-buses, coaster buses and big buses respectively, of a total of 85,950 vehicles. The survey also revealed ambient air pollutants level higher than the recommended standards. A new model was developed to achieve a vehicles remix of 10:33:53: 14:1 of same vehicle types and reduction in traffic volume and target air pollutants. The analyses showed that mini-buses and coaster buses have advantage over salon cars, wagon vehicles and big buses in terms of traffic congestions and pollutants release into the environment. The two bus types have least pollutants release per passenger carried. An optimal vehicle remix, which gives higher priority to these buses has been shown to reduce congestion by 40%, Carbon monoxide by 40%, Nitrogen Dioxide by 50% and Methane by 50%. Based on the findings, it is recommended that vehicular remix of 10:33:53:14:1, for salon: wagon: mini-buses: coaster buses: big buses be adopted for Owerri commuters’ transportation need. Some policy measures were put forward to help achieve this. The measures include an outright ban on use of low-passenger-carrying vehicles for commercial purposes.

New capabilities of optical coherence tomography in the diagnostics of primary angle-closure glaucoma
Authors: Erichev V. P. , Poleva R. P. , Hadiri Kh.
Published: December 2021

INTRODUCTION. Recently, posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was suggested as a fundamental pathologic process in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in morphologically predisposed patients with anatomically narrow anterior chamber angle.

PURPOSE. To study the role of PVD in the development and clinical manifestation of PACG in anatomically predisposed eyes and to assess the capabilities of posterior segment optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) in PACG diagnostics.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thirty eyes with newly diagnosed stage I-II PACG and thirty eyes predisposed to PACG (with narrow anterior chamber angle without glaucoma signs) were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent ophthalmological examination, Hyams test, ocular ultrasound (OU) and PS-OCT.

RESULTS. PVD with retrohyaloid space (RHS) formation was revealed in all PACG eyes. Positive Hyams test was in 86.67% eyes with PACG, and 13.33% were negative. All the eyes with PVD as a result of Hyams test experienced RHS enhancement correlating with IOP rise. Despite the negative results of Hyams test in some PACG eyes with PVD — glaucomatous optic neuropathy signs were present. Possible causes are discussed.

PVD with RHS formation was revealed in 53.33% predisposed to PACG eyes — all with positive result of Hyams test. The other 46.67% eyes predisposed to PACG had negative Hyams test, no PVD and no RHS.

CONCLUSION. Obtained results confirm a new theory of PACG etiopathogenesis suggesting PVD with PGS to be the essential mechanism of POAG development in morphologically predisposed eyes. PS-OCT appears to be crucial in PACG early diagnostics.

Authors: Khan Fazlullah , Atta Qazi Mashood , Niaz Kamal
Published: December 2021

Toxicoepigenomics is new field emerged from the combination of toxicology and epigenetics. It is defined as the heritable changes in the gene activity induced by exposure to environment and toxicant substances such as heavy metals without any alterations in the existing nucleotide sequence. Research studies show that epigenetics plays important role in the development of certain human diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Hence toxicoepigenomics has evolved as an important new area in toxicology research. In toxicoepigenomics targeting DNA methylation alteration as a tool to identify the underlying causes of disease development exists as important trend in the current research design, but this aspect of toxicoepigenomics has been evaluated extensively. New mechanisms such as microRNA (miRNA) dysregulations need to be considered for future research work. Furthermore, it is important to consider different study designs such as the application of parallel in vitro and in vivo studies. This might be an interesting aspect of toxicoepigenomics research and will enable researchers to fill the gap in the existing research designs.

En este estudio se analiza, mediante técnicas descriptivas y multivariadas, el perfil de ingreso y la trayectoria académica de los estudiantes de la cohorte 2017 de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Francisco Morazán; para lo cual se consideran la condición demográfica, económica, antecedentes académicos, resultados del test de aptitud académica e indicadores de la trayectoria académica (matrícula, abandono, movilidad, regularidad y éxito académico). Los resultados muestran que un número reducido de variables del perfil de ingreso explica la trayectoria académica, y que la influencia de las variables difiere por año académico analizado y por facultad a la cual están adscritos los estudiantes. También, se encontró que el test de aptitud académica, es predictor del desempeño en Español y Matemáticas; sin embargo, no aparece regularmente como predictor para otras variables de trayectoria académica. Finalmente, las trayectorias académicas de los estudiantes son bastante irregulares, siendo los desempeños del estudiante durante un año, fuertes predictores del éxito en el año siguiente.

Published: December 2021

A cebola está entre as hortaliças mais importantes e produzidas do Brasil. O surgimento de novas tecnologias, como cultivares mais produtivas e técnicas de manejo mais adequadas, modificaram o sistema de produção de cebola ao longo dos anos, possibilitando um melhor aproveitamento da área de cultivo e resultando em ganhos de produtividade. Entretanto, alguns fatores ainda podem limitar seu desenvolvimento, embora muitos destes possam ser controlados. A cebola é fortemente influenciada pela temperatura e fotoperíodo, porém, a escolha da cultivar mais adaptada e a época de plantio podem reduzir os danos causadas pelo clima. Além disso, o manejo pós-colheita, como o processo de cura é essencial para manter a qualidade dos bulbos por um tempo maior e diminuir perdas ocasionadas pelo ataque de pragas e doenças. Sendo assim, esta revisão tem como objetivo informar as principais características da cultura da cebola abordando os estágios de desenvolvimento, exigências climáticas e técnicas de cultivo adequadas, que quando bem executadas podem reduzir as perdas de rendimento e qualidade.

A avicultura vem passando por grandes transformações no decorrer dos anos, tornando cada vez mais produtiva, sendo garantido pelos avanços nos manejos, controle sanitário e de biosseguridade, avanços na nutrição e melhoramento genético e aplicação de tecnologia que garantiu melhores condições ambientais. Esses avanços permitiu aumentar a produção com o objetivo de atender a demanda de carne de frango e ovos, com isso, a intensificação dos sistemas de produção para atender o mercado foi uma das alternativas adotadas pelos produtores. A ambiência é um dos grandes desafios da intensificação dos sistemas de produção, visto que a temperatura interfere diretamente no bem-estar e desempenho produtivo das aves. As aves são animais homeotérmicos, desta forma, mantem a temperatura corporal constante, por meio de troca de calor com o ambiente. Ao sofrerem estresse térmico, as aves buscam mecanismos fisiológicos ou comportamentais para manter o conforto térmico. Algumas alternativas são adotadas com o objetivo de manter a temperatura ambiente dentro da zona de termoneutralidade nas diferentes fases de produção de frangos de corte e poedeiras, entre elas podemos citar nutrição. Com isso, o objetivo desta revisão de literatura é abordar o estresse térmico em frangos de corte e poedeiras, destacamento os efeitos na fisiologia das, os impactos causados e as soluções nutricionais para minimizar tais efeitos.

As doenças parasitárias representam impacto negativo em potencial para a produção animal, comprometendo, muitas vezes, o processo de transformação dos produtos de origem animal, com perdas estimadas em 13,96 bilhões de dólares/ano, sendo mais da metade (U$ 7,10 bilhões) relacionadas somente aos nematoides gastrintestinais. A sensibilidade desses animais a estes parasitas tornou-se grande problema na produção devido a estas helmintoses ocorrerem por meio de infecções de várias espécies de parasitas do trato gastrintestinal. Além disso, causam sérios problemas sanitários como perda de peso, anemia, letargia, anorexia e até a morte, levando a prejuízos como diminuição da produção e aumento do valor do produto final. O controle dessas parasitoses é basicamente feito por meio de anti-helmínticos que permanece essencialmente com bases químicas. Decorrente do insuficiente repasse de tecnologia, ou mesmo de informações inadequadas referentes à frequência de tratamento e à utilização incorreta das drogas antiparasitárias em ovinos, foi observada grande diminuição da eficácia desses produtos nas principais regiões produtoras brasileiras, inclusive, com o aparecimento de cepas resistentes a vários grupos químicos disponíveis no mercado. Neste sentido, as pesquisas estão cada vez mais direcionadas à busca por tratamentos alternativos como, por exemplo, a fitoterapia. Produtos naturais quando vindos de espécies vegetais, apresentam grande importância no desenvolvimento de novos medicamentos. A fitoterapia pode trazer grandes benefícios ao produtor, consumidor e meio ambiente. No entanto, estudos in vivo são escassos e carecem de informações. Observa-se que as fontes científicas relacionadas aos fitoterápicos utilizados em ovinos ainda são escassas. Mas muitos autores que utilizaram fitoterápicos obtiveram um resultado satisfatório, sendo assim, é conclusivo que o uso de fitoterápicos no controle das helmintoses em ovinos pode se tornar uma alternativa positiva por ser um produto eficaz, geralmente de fácil acesso e baixo custo, todavia, estudos in vitro devem ser realizados e posteriormente in vivo na busca e validação de plantas que podem ser utilizadas.
Armazenamento refrigerado como forma de prolongar a vida útil de bulbos de cebola: revisão
Authors: IASTREMSKI M. P. , WENDEL C. H.
Published: December 2021

A produção de cebola é sazonal, mas o seu consumo ocorre durante o ano inteiro, sendo necessário condições adequadas de armazenamento para reduzir as perdas e manter a qualidade dos bulbos até sua comercialização. Os bulbos de cebola são considerados de alta perecibilidade, devido a fatores fisiológicos, como respiração e brotação, além da ocorrência do ataque de patógenos. Durante o armazenamento, estes fatores acabam alterando as características físico-químicas da cebola, podendo torná-las impróprias para o consumo. No entanto, armazenar os bulbos em uma temperatura ideal possibilita reduzir as perdas tanto de qualidade, quanto em quantidade e prolongar a sua vida útil. Geralmente, as temperaturas mais baixas, promovem a redução da atividade metabólica dos bulbos, suprimindo a brotação, e conservando as características específicas de cada cultivar por um período maior. Sendo assim, o objetivo desse trabalho é revisar os principais atributos físico-químicas da cebola e o efeito da temperatura de armazenamento sobre os mesmos, abordando quais condições são as mais adequadas para amenizar as perdas durante esse período.

Authors: RIBEIRO C. H. M. , VIOL R. E.
Published: December 2021

O desenvolvimento de raízes e brotos adventícios é influenciado pelo balanço hormonal. A diferenciação radicular e aérea é influenciada direta ou indiretamente por um grupo de hormônios que são responsáveis por diversos processos metabólicos e fisiológicos, sendo eles as auxinas, citocininas, giberelinas, etileno e ácido abscísico. Como eles são afetados por diferentes fatores, como espécies e concentrações, o entendimento de como o controle hormonal pode influenciar na formação das raízes e brotos adventícios se faz necessário. Sendo assim, a presente revisão de literatura tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir como o controle hormonal pode afetar a formação das raízes e brotos (e rebentos) adventícios.

Published: December 2021

Charles Darwin dedicou mais de 20 anos de sua vida a uma variedade de investigações em plantas superiores (angiospermas). Foi implicitamente assumido que estes estudos nas áreas de botânica descritiva e experimental fisiologia vegetal foram realizadas para corroborar seu princípio de descida com modificação. No entanto, seu filho, Francis Darwin, que era biólogo vegetal profissional, apontou que os interesses de seu pai eram ambos de um de natureza fisiológica e evolutiva. Neste trabalho, descrevemos o trabalho de Darwin sobre a fisiologia das plantas de uma perspectiva moderna. Com base em uma revisão de vários campos de investigação, deduzimos a existência de uma abordagem darwiniana (evolucionária) à fisiologia vegetal e definimos esta disciplina científica emergente como o estudo experimental e análise teórica das funções do verde, séssil organismos de uma perspectiva filogenética.

No Brasil, muitas plantas têm sido comercializadas com o nome de plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC). No entanto, pouco se sabe sobre estas plantas, por vezes negligenciadas, subutilizadas, porém de alto valor nutricional e de baixo valor econômico. Diante do exposto foi realizada uma pesquisa on-line, com o objetivo de avaliar os conhecimentos da população sobre tópicos relacionados as plantas PANCs, seu consumo, propriedades nutricionais e medicinais, com o auxílio da ferramenta Forms, disponível no sistema Google. Um questionário de múltipla escolha foi divulgado por meio de redes sociais no período de 04 a 26 de março de 2021. Os resultados obtidos foram calculados percentualmente pela ferramenta e comparados com entrevistas realizadas por outros autores, utilizando artigos publicados em base de dados on-line. Para a busca, utilizou-se as bases de dados Scielo, PubMed e Google Acadêmico. Com base nesta pesquisa podemos concluir que, grande parte dos entrevistados conhecem as PANCs, porém a minoria faz uso das mesmas.

O Brasil caracteriza- se por ser um país predominantemente agrícola, porém, é um país tropical que apresenta altas temperaturas e estas por sua vez, influenciam diretamente no bem-estar das aves. Animais monogástricos apresentam metabolismo acelerado devido sua alta taxa de crescimento corporal em período muito curto de tempo, sendo esses ainda mais susceptíveis a grandes variações de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar. O conhecimento de todos os fatores que envolvem o bem-estar animal deve ser levado em consideração, com atenção especial para o controle da homeostase, pois, o desempenho produtivo e eficiência de utilização dos nutrientes ingeridos dependem diretamente das condições ambientais fornecidas, que quando não atendida, afeta o crescimento e desenvolvimento corpóreo dos animais. Portanto, faz-se necessário a adoção de alternativas para melhorar o oferecimento de condições ambientais desejáveis para cada espécie, independente da fase de criação, buscando sempre o melhor desempenho produtivo e econômico dos animais. Este estudo de revisão bibliografica objetivou analisar estudos inerentes às condições de conforto térmico ambiental e respostas fisiológicas e zootécnicas em frangos de corte.
Controle de plantas daninhas nas brássicas: revisão
Authors: WENDEL C. H. , IASTREMSKI M. P.
Published: December 2021

As brássicas são hortaliças de grande importância econômica e na alimentação humana saudável, sendo rica em antioxidantes, ácido fólico, ferro, fibras, vitaminas A, B, C, E, K e zinco. Entretanto, a qualidade e a produtividade das brássicas podem ser prejudicadas pela convivência com plantas daninhas durante o período de crescimento e desenvolvimento da cultura, pois estas competem com luz, água, gás carbônico, oxigênio, nutrientes, espaço físico, além de serem hospedeira de pragas e doenças. As plantas daninhas interferem na produtividade de acordo com o grau de competição, o qual está relacionado, com as características da cultura, tipos de solo, do grau de infestação, período e época de convivência entre as plantas, condições edafoclimáticas. Para a cultura das Brássicas, existe poucas informações sobre o controle das plantas daninhas, sendo limitado a disponibilidade de herbicidas registrados. Quando as brássicas são expostas ao controle químico das plantas daninhas com herbicidas, mesmo sendo seletivos, podem sofrer processos de fitointoxicação prejudicando seu desenvolvimento. Alguns fatores ambientais como horário da aplicação, umidade relativa do ar e orvalho podem causar maiores danos nas brássicas e interferir na eficácia do controle. Diante disso, objetivou-se com esse trabalho revisar a importância do controle químico das plantas daninhas no período correto que esteja causando interferência a planta de valor comercial, evitando assim submetê-las ao estresse e fitointoxicação.
