Published: March 2017

Leaves and drupes of the olive varieties "Koroneiki", "Lianolia Kerkyras", "Mastoidis", "Arbequina", "Adramytini", "Megaritiki", "Gaidourelia", "Kalamata", "Konservolia" and "Chalkidiki" were collected at different seasons during 2008 and 2009 and investigated by HPLC for their phenolic profile and the concentration of the phenolic compounds present. The phenolic compounds identified in 2008 new season leaves were, in declining concentration order, oleuropein, 7-O-glucoside of luteolin and rutin whereas for those collected in 2009 the main phenolic compounds were oleuropein, rutin, 4-O-glucoside of luteolin and 7-O-glucoside of apigenin. In September - December 2009 collected leaves, oleuropein presented the higher concentration followed by 7-O-glucoside of luteolin, 4-O-glucoside of luteolin and rutin. Regarding green and black drupes for both years, the main phenolic compounds were oleuropein, verbascoside and rutin. Verbascoside was only found in drupes whereas the 7-O-glucoside of apigenin only in leaves. Î•ach tissue, for both years, had a similar phenolic profile in all varieties.

Authors: GÜREL Serhat , BAŞAR Haluk
Published: March 2017

Boron (B) is an essential microelement for plants, animals and humans. The present study was conducted to evaluate theeffectiveness of various treatments for the correction of boron (B) with zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiencies in the pear cultivar ʻDeveciʼ in the south eastern Marmara region of Turkey. This work consisted of 4 field experiments that primarly included control, soil and foliar applications of B alone and in combination with Zn and Fe. Soil and foliar applications of borax increased B concentrations in leaves and fruit. However, foliar treatment with B was more effective than the soil application. Foliar applications of boron four times each season appeared to be an appropriate treatment for maintaining a sufficient B level in pear trees. Foliar applications of double and triple combinations of FeSO4.7H2O and ZnSO4.7H2O with borax significantly increased Fe and Zn concentrations in the leaves, as well. Boron concentrations were dramatically higher in the fruit parts(flesh and peel) than in the leaves. These results clearly indicated the translocation of B from soil and treated leaves to the fruits. Therefore, the B concentration in the fruit was more useful for the evaluation of B levels in pear trees.

Published: March 2017

Canola (Brassica napus L.) crop ranks third after soybean and palm among oilseed crops for production of vegetable oil and meal for human and livestock, respectively around the globe. The cultivars of canola crop vary greatly in their yield potential in response to eco-edaphic factors under different production environments. Therefore, research studies were undertaken to evaluate eight cultivars of canola crop â€˜Shiraleeâ€™, â€˜Dunkledâ€™, â€˜Bulbul-98â€™, â€˜Ac-Excelâ€™, â€˜Cycloneâ€™, â€˜Rainbowâ€™, â€˜DGLâ€™ and â€˜Faisal Canolaâ€™ for quantifying some physiological and productivity indicesÂ  under normal growing conditions. The results showed that various cultivars of canola differed significantly amongst themselves with respect to biological yield, chlorophyll content, protein content, nutrient composition and components of seed yield. Among the cultivars, cvs. â€˜Bulbal-98â€™ and â€˜Rainbowâ€™ produced maximum biological yield and seed yield,Â  respectively, Furthermore, maximum yield harvested from cv. â€˜Rainbowâ€™ was associated with higher total seed weight plant-1, while cv. â€˜Faisal Canolaâ€™ maintained higher chlorophyll content than other ones. Cultivar â€˜Dunkledâ€™ contained higher K+ nutrient by 21.13 mg g-1 in leaf tissues compared to minimum (9.73 mg g-1) in â€˜DGLâ€™ cultivar. The higher amount of Na+ content (12.16 mg g-1) was determined in cv. â€˜AC Excelâ€™. Cultivar â€˜Rainbowâ€™ maintained higher photosystem (II) activity and had greater partitioning ability of photo-assimilates in the seed tissues. Of various chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, quantum yield of photosystem II and electron transport performance index could be used as a selection criterion for breeding of canola cultivars.

Published: March 2017

Grape seed and green tea extracts are reported to produce antioxidant scavenging activities against free radical toxicity. This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that a specific combination of these extracts presents a synergistic antioxidant scavenging activities. The extracts of grape seed, green tea and their mixtures were characterized by phytochemical studies and tested for phenolics and flavonoids. In vitro antioxidant activity for individual extract and its mixtures was determined by DPPH, hydroxyl and superoxide free radical scavenging methods. The amount of total phenolics varied among the different extracts and ranged from 43.74 to 67.68 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE) / g dry weight, whereas total flavonoids content ranged from 4.25 to 11.66 mg of quercetin equivalents (QU) /g dry weight. The present results suggest that both extracts reported a highly contents of total phenolic and flavonoids compounds, also the mixtures of these extracts can synergistically enhance antioxidant activity. Antioxidant potential from mixture 2 (grape seed extract 200 mg: green tea extract 100 mg) was comparable to that of standard. HPLC results showed that the most abundant components in the mixture 2 extract were epigallocatechingallate while the lowest was the procyanidine.

A rose hip is the fruit of a rose plant and mostly belongs to Rosa canina and Rosa dumalis. These species are genuine found as wild in natural conditions, while in some countries are cultivated for their hips that are picked and used in a wide variety of preparations. Because they contain a variety of antioxidants, carotenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, leucoanthocyanins and catechins, rose hips are considered to be a good cancer preventative. The Rosa genus has been the focus of many recent studies due to its potential benefic effects on treatment and prevention of several diseases. However, there are few in vitro studies concerning its composition and antioxidant capacity. The aim of the present study was to determine bioactive content, including ascorbic acid, total phenolics, total flavonoids, total carotenoids and antioxidant activity of Rosa dumalis genotypes growing wild in Erzurum province located eastern Anatolia. The results revealed that fruits of Rosa dumalis different genotypes were rich rich in terms of vitamin C, which ranged from 402 to 511 mg/100 g fresh weight base. The total phenolic content varied from 297 to 403 mg/100 g fresh weight. The genotype 'E-09' had the highest total flavonoids content (229 mg quercetin equivalent/100 g fresh weight) and the lowest value was attributed to genotype 'E-04' with 143 mg/ quercetin equivalent/100 g fresh weight. The antioxidant activity of the genotypes was between 12.9-28.6 Î¼g Trolox/ml samples. The results revealed that there was enough diversity among Rosa dumalis genotypes for bioactive content and promising genotypes, with high bioactive content, were determined, which can become study material for future breeding activities.

Ecoclimatic conditions have a great influence on grapevine growth and development. Favourable conditions (solar radiation, temperature, humidity etc.) are important and have a positive effect on the growth and fruition. Critical conditions have negative influences resulting in low grape production and wine quality. The purpose of this research was to analyse the quality of wine obtained from eight grapevine varieties (four Romanian autochthonous varieties: ‘Feteasca regala’, ‘Feteasca alba’, ‘Babeasca gri’, ‘Sarba’, and four world-wide varieties: ‘Aligoté’, ‘Sauvignon Blanc’, ‘Muscat Ottonel’, and ‘Italian Riesling’). The wine samples were obtained from micro-wine production under local weather conditions of Dealu Bujoruluivineyard, Romania. The physico-chemical analysis of young wines showed that the highest alcohol content was recorded at the ‘Sauvignon blanc’ variety (14.35% vol.) followed by ‘Sarba’ (14.10% vol.). The highest level of acidity was registered to ‘Babeasca gri’ (5.90 g/L C4H6O6) and the lowest acidity in the ‘Muscat Ottonel’ wine (4.40 g/L C4H6O6). The pH values were between limits of 3.62 (‘Feteasca alba’) and 3.27 (‘Aligote’). In order to get a wider perspective about the wine quality, another 11 parameters were examined at these varieties, using spectrophotometric methods (acetic acid, potassium, calcium, free amino nitrogen, tartaric acid, copper, L-lactic acid, iron, L-malic acid, D-gluconic acid and glycerol). The results showed the suitability of ecoclimatic conditions and the proper growth and development of the tested varieties for obtaining wines withsuperiors quality.

Published: March 2017

Ethephon is used to accelerate fruit ripening on plantations with well-developed plants which have formed a large quantity of fruits. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of ethephon on the chemical composition of the fruits of seven cultivars of processing tomato (‘Rumba’, ‘Hubal’, ‘Sokal’ F1, ‘Mieszko’ F1, ‘Polset’ F1, ‘Hysioux’ F1 and ‘AF1120’ F1), applied to the plants when most of the fruits had reached the mature-green stage. The study was conducted during three consecutiveyears, characterized by different weather conditions. Meteorological elements, i.e. air temperature and precipitation totals, were monitored in the experimental station in Mydlniki, near Krakow, Poland. Ethephon was found to have a beneficial effect on the content of extract and soluble sugars of the harvested tomatoes and on their acidity. Dry matter and lycopene levels were not dependent on the use of this compound, while the ascorbic acid content was reduced by the procedure. The chemicalcomposition of the tomato fruits differed significantly in consecutive years of the study, which confirmed the weather impact on fruit quality and on the varied responses of different cultivars to use of ethephon. The tested cultivars were also compared in terms of their suitability for processing. The ‘Hubal’ cultivar had the highest content of dry matter, extract, soluble sugars of all the cultivars tested. The highest level of lycopene was noted for the tomatoes of the ‘Rumba’ and ‘Sokal’ F1 cultivar, ascorbic acid of the ‘Rumba’ and the highest acidity for ‘AF 1120’ F1.

In the environment plants are competing for water, nutrients and light, and other components. Their competition is not only based on shading but on the allelopathic interactions as well. Sticky willy (Galium aparine L.) is a nitrophilous weed growing in thickets, crop fields and on ruderal areas. Its sticky and strongly branching stems are connecting together stalks of grain make it difficult to harvest. G. aparine wraps around plants and limits their access to the light. It may to secrete allelopathic substances to the soil. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of aqueous extracts from shoots G. aparine L. concentrations of 1, 3, and 5% on growth seedlings of Zea mays L. in two varieties: ‘Lokata’ F2, ‘Wilga’ F1 and F2. The seeds were placed on Petri dishes (100 units) and watered extracts from shoots G. aparine, and distilled water (control). The ability of seed germination was higher on extracts of concentration 1% for the variety ‘Wilga’ F1 and F2, and less for the ‘Lokata’ F2. Biometric analysis of seedling roots showed the stimulatory effect of 1% and 3% extracts, and the inhibitory for 5%. The fresh weight of maize seedlings was significantly higher on 1% extract, as compared to other and the control. The values of the dry weight of ‘Lokata’ F2 each concentration was lower in comparison to the control. The water contents in seedlings of the ‘Wilga’ F1 and ‘Lokata’ F2 varieties were significantly increased of each extracts, in comparison to control.

Light quality can influence the photosynthetic characteristics, morphology and physiological processes of plants. To investigate the effects of different light qualities (white light, W; red light, R; blue light, B; mixture of red and blue light, RB) of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and white cold fluorescent lamp on the growth and morphology of fruiting mulberry plants (Morus alba L. cv. â€˜Longsang No.1â€™), fruiting mulberry plants were grown under different light qualities: W, R, B and RB of the same photosynthetic photo flux density (PPFD; 100 Î¼mol m-2 s-1) for 20 d. Our results showed that stem length and leaf area of plants grown under R were the highest. However, stem length and leaf area of plants grown under B were lowest. Dry weights (DW), leaf mass per area (LMA), chlorophyll a/b ratio, soluble protein content, sucrose and starch content, and total leaf nitrogen (N) content of plants grown under R were the lowest. Net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs), and actual photochemical efficiency of PSII (Î¦PSII) of plants grown under RB were similar to plants grown under W. Net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and Î¦PSII of plants grown under R and B were lower than plants grown under W and RB. Antioxidant enzymes activity of plants grown under R, RB and B were higher than plants grown under W. The number of leaf stomata, leaf thickness, palisade tissue length and spongy tissue length were the lowest in plants grown under R. The number of leaf stomata, leaf thickness and palisade tissue length of plants grown under RB and B were higher than plants grown under R. The results of this study indicate that a certain ratio of mixed red and blue LEDs light can reduce adverse effects of monochromatic red and blue LEDs light on fruiting mulberry growth and development.

Published: March 2017

The major goal of this research was to establish a stable regeneration system for tomato cultivars in order to lay the foundations for the future genetic transformation of the tomato. The regeneration ability of two kinds of explants (cotyledons and hypocotyl segments) was compared for three Polish cultivars of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Explants were cultured on 10 different regeneration media (basal mediums MS or B5, and with a combination of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). It was found that the ability to regenerate was substantially dependent on the cultivars, as well as on the kind of explant. The best explants for inducing shoot regeneration were cotyledons, followed by hypocotyls. It was noticed that the best formulation of the medium for this regeneration from the two types of explants used in this study, is MS with 2 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L IAA.Â  Tomato shoots were transferred to a Â½ MS medium and Â½ MS complemented with 0.1 mg/L IAA for rooting and all of them responded positively to the rooting medium.

Published: March 2017

The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamics of chlorophyll (Chl), biosynthetic intermediates (protoporphyrin IX, magnesium protoporphyrin IX, and protochlorophyllide), degradation intermediates [chlorophyllide (Chlide), pheophytin (Phe), and pheophorbide (Pho)], and carotenoids (Car) in leaves of rice seedlings. Two rice varieties, 'Taichung Shen 10' ('TCS10') and 'IR1552', were grown under different light quality conditions controlled by light emitting diodes (LED). Lighting treatments for rice seedlings were included by red (R), blue (B), green (G), and red + blue (RB), with fluorescent lighting (FL) as the control and photosynthetic photon flux density being set at 105 µmol m-2 s-1. The results show that lower levels of Chl and Car in leaves were detected under G lighting, and light quality did not mediate porphyrins in biosynthetic pathways. Rice seedling leaves took Chl→Phe→Pho and Chl→Chlide→Pho as the major and minor degradation routes, respectively. Furthermore, higher Phe/Chlide ratios were observed under G and FL lighting conditions, indicating that green-enriched environments can up-regulate the minor degradation route in leaves.
A sociologia durkheimiana e a tradição conservadora: elementos para uma revisão crítica
Authors: Vares Sidnei Ferreira de
Published: March 2017

Resumo Este artigo propõe-se a discutir a relação entre a teoria sociológica desenvolvida por Émile Durkheim e as ideias conservadoras clássicas. Por um lado, visa-se compreender em que medida o sociólogo francês absorveu elementos conservadores em sua sociologia e, por outro, se essa suposta influência bastaria para atribuir à obra durkheimiana uma rubrica conservadora. Com isso, pretende-se evitar possíveis rótulos ou tipificações, quase sempre reducionistas e incapazes de dar conta de toda a complexidade que envolve uma produção teórica de grande fôlego, como a de Durkheim. A análise empregada é eminentemente bibliográfica e revisionista, assentando-se tanto em fontes primárias quanto em fontes secundárias.
O Liberalismo Político e a República dos Modernos: a crítica de Benjamin Constant ao conceito rousseauniano de soberania popular
Authors: Cassimiro Paulo Henrique Paschoeto
Published: March 2017

Resumo Partindo da leitura crítica do conceito rousseauniano de soberania do povo, Benjamin Constant irá formular uma teoria que estabelece a existência de uma autoridade social limitada e regulada por instituições constitucionais como condição absoluta da sobrevivência da liberdade conquistada com a revolução. Constant legará ao liberalismo francês um topos central, qual seja, o da incapacidade da liberdade republicana clássica em dar conta de formular uma solução institucional para a complexa sociedade comercial da Europa das luzes, mas também a compreensão de uma interpretação da história como progresso da civilização cujo sentido acentua a premência da dimensão da sociedade civil sobre a dimensão da política. Assim, pretendemos demonstrar como o liberalismo de Constant legitima o regime representativo, por meio de uma crítica ao princípio do republicanismo rousseauniano-jacobino e de uma teoria progressiva da história.
Análise de valências, debate acadêmico e contenda política

Published: March 2017

Resumo Este é o quarto artigo de um debate com Luis Felipe Miguel sobre a MAV e, como tal, responde às objeções feitas pelo autor em texto anterior, intitulado Uma Resposta. Miguel argumenta que a MAV é utilizada pelo site Manchetômetro com propósitos de intervenção pública, e não com fins acadêmicos. Mostro que, na sociedade de hoje, é comum metodologias acadêmicas serem usadas para subsidiar o debate público. Ele também critica a cientificidade e a acurácia da MAV. Em resposta, mostro que a MAV foi empregada muitas vezes no Brasil em estudos de mídia e é fartamente aplicada na academia de língua inglesa, inclusive nos jornais mais prestigiosos da área de ciência política. Por fim, comparo a MAV à análise de enquadramentos, metodologia fartamente utilizada na academia nacional, para mostrar que a determinação de valências de textos é operação mais simples, e, portanto, muito menos sujeita à variação, do que a interpretação de complexas construções semânticas que são os enquadramentos.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a continuidade de cuidados nas Unidades de Saúde no município de Évora (Portugal), na perspetiva dos utentes. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, exploratório e descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, com uma amostra constituída por 342 utentes das unidades de saúde. O instrumento utilizado foi um questionário adaptado de estudos ingleses e espanhóis. Os resultados revelam que foram identificados elementos de continuidade ao nível das diferentes dimensões da continuidade de cuidados - relacional, de gestão, informação e de alguns itens da continuidade flexível. A continuidade longitudinal apresenta os valores mais baixos no atendimento de enfermagem. Como conclusão, destaca-se positivamente, e nas suas diferentes dimensões, a continuidade relacional em que a maioria dos utentes recomendam o seu médico de família e enfermeira a familiares e amigos e a continuidade flexível, que se traduz por reduzidos tempos de espera no atendimento por um médico ou enfermeiro e acessibilidade aos cuidados. Negativamente sobressai o fraco envolvimento do utente nos cuidados, pelos profissionais de saúde, numa das dimensões da continuidade relacional.

Resumo A epidemiologia desempenha um papel estratégico neste estágio do ciclo de política, contribuindo para o estabelecimento de metas, alocação de recursos e uso de sistemas de informação. Em 2009, a Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do Rio de Janeiro iniciou uma reforma do modelo de atenção, utilizando como principal influência o conceito de Atenção Primária em Saúde. Este estudo avalia a tendência de indicadores selecionados do “pay-for-performance” que mensuram o processo de cuidado em saúde na APS da cidade. Estudo de painéis repetidos, a partir dos registros administrativos e clínicos dos prontuários eletrônicos no período de 2012 a 2016. Foram escolhidos sete indicadores que analisaram o desempenho longitudinal dentro da meta estabelecida, entre aqueles que representam acesso, longitudinalidade, coordenação do cuidado – atributos da APS, assim como outras características dos serviços como desempenho assistencial e eficiência econômica. Este estudo demonstrou que a descentralização da gestão para níveis mais próximos do usuário é potencialmente exitoso para o registro de dados clínicos, caso seja realizado um adequado monitoramento dos indicadores, auditorias clínicas frequentes e realizado periodicamente um “feedback” aos profissionais de saúde com os dados e indicadores acompanhados.

Published: March 2017

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The lack of availability of antidotes in emergency services is a worldwide concern. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the availability of antidotes used for treating poisoning in Campinas (SP). DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a cross-sectional study of emergency services in Campinas, conducted in 2010-2012. METHODS: The availability, amount in stock, place of storage and access time for 26 antidotal treatments was investigated. In the hospitals, the availability of at least one complete treatment for a 70 kg adult over the first 24 hours of admission was evaluated based on stock and access recommendations contained in two international guidelines. RESULTS: 14 out of 17 functioning emergency services participated in the study, comprising pre-hospital services such as the public emergency ambulance service (SAMU; n = 1) and public emergency rooms for admissions lasting ≤ 24 hours (UPAs; n = 3), and 10 hospitals with emergency services. Six antidotes (atropine, sodium bicarbonate, diazepam, Phytomenadione, flumazenil and calcium gluconate) were stocked in all the services, followed by 13 units that also stocked activated charcoal, naloxone and diphenhydramine or biperiden. No service stocked all of the recommended antidotes; only the regional Poison Control Center had stocks close to recommended (22/26 antidotal treatments). The 10 hospitals had almost half of the antidotes for starting treatments, but only one quarter of the antidotes was present with stocks sufficient for providing treatment for 24 hours. CONCLUSION: The stock of antidotes for attending poisoning emergencies in the municipality of Campinas is incomplete and needs to be improved.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the development and reproduction of the zoophytophagous predator Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) fed kale, broccoli and cabbage affects its. Nymphs and adults of this predator were fed on larvae of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) as prey with kale, cabbage, or broccoli. In the nymph period, the duration and prey consumption were similar with all the Brassicacea cultivar. However, nymph viability was higher for predators with broccoli leaves. The mean weight of 5th-instar nymphs, newly emerged females and the sex ratio were similar among the Brassicacea cultivars, while newly emerged males were heavier with kale and broccoli leaves. The supply of broccoli leaves resulted in greater oviposition, higher number of eggs per egg mass and longer longevity of P. nigrispinus males and females. Furthermore, the consumption of P. xylostella larvae by adult predators was higher with these cultivars. The net reproductive rate (R0) and mean generation time (T) were highest for predators with prey and broccoli leaves. The reproductive parameters of P. nigrispinus were enhanced when fed on P. xylostella larvae with and broccoli leaves, which can be an alternative diet in laboratory rearing of this predator.

Resumo Tomando como pretexto o culto ecumênico celebrado em 1975 na Catedral da Sé em repúdio à morte do jornalista Vladimir Herzog e o ato inter-religioso que relembrou sua morte em 2015, na mesma catedral, procuraremos neste artigo analisar como determinadas “estratégias de ritualização” produzem sentidos cívicos por meio da interpelação e da produção de diferentes públicos. A análise das estratégias rituais colocadas em movimento nestes dois atos pretende, por um lado, mapear as figuras que, por ocasião desses atos, assumem a fala pública em diferentes contextos e, por outro, determinar sua função em cada cena. Partimos da hipótese de que a configuração do que está sendo mobilizado como vontade coletiva e o seu sentido político e/ou religioso dependem das formas de endereçamento produzidas nas sequências rituais. Nesse sentido, este trabalho não pretende tratar do papel da Igreja Católica na luta contra a ditadura militar - tema já profusamente debatido na literatura - mas sim, tomando estas “situações” como um ponto de partida, localizar as dinâmicas através das quais os rituais categorizam e fazem existir diversos formatos de coletividades políticas. Desta forma, pensamos ser possível, a partir da análise comparativa de dois casos concretos e bem circunscritos, localizar alguns elementos-chave na configuração recente do espaço público político da sociedade brasileira.

ABSTRACT Assuming that a roughness meter can be successfully employed to measure the roughness on the internal surface of irrigation pipes, this research had the purpose of defining parameters and procedures required to represent the internal surface roughness of plastic pipes used in irrigation. In 2013, the roughness parameter Ra, traditional for the representation of surface irregularities in most situations, and the parameters Rc, Rq, and Ry were estimated based on 350 samples of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) pipes. Pressure losses were determined from experiments carried out in laboratory. Estimations of pressure loss varied significantly according to the roughness parameters (Ra, Rc, Rq, and Ry) and the corresponding pipe diameter. Therefore, specific values of roughness for each pipe diameter improves accuracy in pressure losses estimation. The average values of internal surface roughness were 3.334 and 8.116 μm for PVC and LDPE pipes, respectively.

ABSTRACT The use of cobalt (Co) and molybdenum (Mo) along with the co-inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense on soybean can contribute to biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), allowing higher yields. Thus, this work aimed to study the technical and economic viability of soybean in the Cerrado, according to the mode of application of Co + Mo, and seed or leaf co-inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense. The experiment was conducted in Selvíria-MS, in a no-tillage system in an Oxisol, arranged in a randomized block design with six treatments (seed application of two treatments with Co + Mo, with or without inoculation with A. brasilense, respectively; Foliar application of Co + Mo at soybean V3 stage; Foliar application of Co + Mo together with A. brasilense at V3 growth stage; Foliar application of A. brasilense at V3 growth stage; and the Control, consisting of only inoculation with Rhizobium), and four replicates. Seed application of Co + Mo associated with seed inoculation with A. brasilense promoted the highest leaf N content, hundred-grain weight, yield and profitability with the soybean crop.

ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of different managements of fertigation and NK doses on the production of bell pepper fruit in a protected environment. The experimental design was randomized blocks in 3 x 5 factorial. The treatments were formed by the combination of three managements of fertigation (M1 - Based on the rate of absorption; M2 - Monitoring the electrical conductivity of the soil solution; M3 - Monitoring concentrations of N and K ions in the soil solution), with five doses of NK (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200% of the recommended dose) and four replicates. Six samples were collected and the following variables were evaluated: number, length and diameter of fruit, pulp thickness and fruit production. Except for diameter, all variables were affected by the interaction between the studied factors. The fertigation management by monitoring and controlling the ionic concentration of the soil solution is more efficient in the production of bell pepper. The fertigation management can be performed more efficiently from the managements M2 or M3, with NK doses of 144 and 165%, respectively, of the recommended concentration for the hydroponic cultivation of bell pepper.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of crisp lettuce in hydroponic cultivation, following the nutrient film technique (NFT), using optimized mineral and organomineral nutrient solutions. The experiment was set in 8 x 3 factorial scheme, with treatments distributed in randomized blocks and split plots, with three replicates. The plots corresponded to eight nutrient solutions, of which four were mineral solutions with chemical composition suggested by Bernardes, Furlani, Castellane & Araújo and Ueda, and four were organomineral solutions, suggested by this research with chemical composition similar to those of the previously mentioned mineral solutions. The subplots corresponded to three varieties of crisp lettuce: Thaís, Vanda and Verônica. At 25 days after transplanting, the following parameters were evaluated: stem and crown diameter, root length, leaf area and number of leaves. For stem and crown diameters and number of leaves, the mineral solutions promoted the highest means. The mineral solution of Furlani and the organomineral solutions, except the modified solution of Castellane & Araújo, promoted the greatest root lengths. The smallest leaf area was obtained in the organomineral solution of Ueda. The cultivar Verônica had the highest root length and stem diameter.

ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to fit different mathematical models to experimental data of drying of sunflower grains, determine and evaluate the effective diffusion coefficient and obtain the activation energy for the process during the drying under various conditions of air. The sunflower grains were collected with an initial moisture content of 0.5267 dry basis (d.b.) and dried in an oven with forced air ventilation under five temperature conditions: 35, 50, 65, 80 and 95 °C, until reaching the moisture content of 0.0934 ± 0.0061 (d.b.). Among the analyzed models, Wang and Singh showed the best fit to describe the drying phenomenon. The effective diffusion coefficient of sunflower grains increased with the increment in air temperature and has activation energy for liquid diffusion in the sunflower drying of 29.55 kJ mol-1.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the performance of spray nozzles to control fusarium head blight (FHB) and mycotoxins in barley grains. The barley cultivar used in the test was ‘BRS Aliansa’, with a density of 300 plants m-2. Fungicide applications were performed using a mechanized set formed by a sprayer (Jacto, model Falcon Vortex) and a tractor (Massey Ferguson, Model 283). The spray volume used was 150 L ha-1. The nozzles used were single fan, single fan with air induction, hollow cone and double fan. The assay was performed in strips, totaling an area of 350 m2 and the variables yield and concentration of mycotoxin in the grains were determined along the strips. The data were submitted to descriptive statistics; the results were compared by F test and the means were compared by Dunnett test, both at a minimum significance level of 0.05. The nozzle TurboDrop TD02 caused reduction of 9.18% in the mycotoxin concentrations in barley grains. There was significant difference in yield when specific control was performed for FHB and improved quality of the product.

ABSTRACT The mechanized harvesting of soybean is a fundamental tool in the production process of this crop and, if not performed properly, it can result in severe mechanical damage to the seeds, causing significant losses at harvest, particularly due to reduced quality. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the physical and physiological quality of soybean seeds at three speeds of the harvester, using statistical process control. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Conceição das Alagoas, MG, Brazil, with three travel speeds: 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5 km h-1. The seed samples were collected at 20 min intervals for 3 h of operation, with a total of 9 samples for each speed. The evaluations were performed based on the following parameters: grain temperature, water content, concave opening, cylinder rotation, mechanical damage and electrical conductivity. The physical and physiological quality of the seeds was dependent on the displacement speed of machine. The highest speed led to lower mechanical damage and higher vigor of soybean seeds.

Resumo Objetivo Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da lima patência na manutenção do comprimento de trabalho (CT) durante o preparo coroa-ápice, utilizando o sistema oscilatório em canais artificiais de acrílico. Material e método Foram utilizados 30 cubos de acrílico: a) grupo 1 (n=10): sem a lima patência e preparo no CT (CT=16 mm); b) grupo 2 (n=10): com a lima patência K#10, comprimento de patência de 17 mm e preparo no CT; c) grupo 3 (n=10): sem a lima patência, uso de uma lima K#10 em 16 mm para recapitulação e preparo no CT. Água destilada foi utilizada como solução irrigadora. O resultado foi analisado estatisticamente pelos testes de Levene e Kruskal-Wallis (p≤0,05), pelos quais se tornou possível observar a perda do comprimento de trabalho após a instrumentação, em diferentes abordagens, em relação à lima patência. Resultado Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos 1 e 3 quando comparados ao grupo 2; entretanto, ao comparar-se o grupo 1 com o grupo 3, estes apresentaram semelhanças estatísticas. O grupo 2 foi o único que conservou o CT após a instrumentação em 16 mm, enquanto os grupos 1 e 3 apresentaram uma perda de até 2 mm do CT. Conclusão Conclui-se que a lima patência em 1 mm além do CT mostrou-se eficaz na manutenção do seu comprimento durante o preparo do canal radicular.
