title: Multiple-and Cross-Resistance of Amaranthus retroflexus to Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) and Photosystem II (PSII) Inhibiting Herbicides in Preemergence

description: ABSTRACT: Herbicide resistance in Amaranthus genus occurs frequently around the word and has become a big problem in cotton producing areas. The objective of this work was to evaluate cross-and multiple-resistance of redroot pigweed (A. retroflexus) to herbicides used in preemergence in cotton fields in Brazil. Seven dose-response experiments were conducted with herbicides atrazine, prometryn, diuron, S-metolachlor, trifluralin, trifloxysulfuron-sodium and pyrithiobac-sodium, and the treatments consisted of application rates of 0, ¼, ½, 1, 2 and 4 times the recommended label rate. Eight A. retroflexus byotipes with suspect of resistance were sampled for experiments in three brazilian states of cotton producing. Resistance to prometryn was confirmed for one biotype in Goiás (GO), and one biotype from Mato Grosso (MT) showed cross-resistance to atrazine and prometryn. One byotipe from GO was identified with cross-resistance to trifloxysulfuron-sodium and pyrithiobac-sodium. One of the GO samples was identified with multiple resistance to prometryn and ALS inhibitors, another one to atrazine and ALS inhibitors, while MT byotipe was confirmed with multiple resistance to triazines and pyrithiobac. The herbicides S-metolachlor, diuron, and trifluralin were efficient for control of this species, therefore, they can be used as managment alternative in those regions.

title: Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Redispersible Polymer-Gypsum Composites

description: Studies on gypsum modified by polymers have been conducted to assess the potential of improvement in the mechanical performance, water resistance and increasing the setting time, facilitating its handling. Gypsum-based compounds made with different additions of redispersible polymers were studied, such as: ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), vinyl acetate terpolymer, vinyl laurate and vinyl chloride (VA/VL/VC), and vinyl acetate and vinyl versatate (VA/VeoVA). The influence on setting time, microstructural formation and on the bending performance was assessed, as well as and compression of the hardened gypsum. The composites were prepared using a polymer concentration of 5% and 10%, and water/gypsum ratio of 0.6. The addition of the polymer decreased the structural robustness and change in the microstructure. We concluded that the reduction in the amount of water through additives may allow a more complete and robust training of gypsum crystals and compounds with better mechanical performance.

title: Differential Tolerance of Clones of Eucalyptus grandis Exposed to Drift of the Herbicides Carfentrazone-Ethyl and Glyphosate

description: ABSTRACT: Drift of the herbicides carfentrazone-ethyl and glyphosate may affect the initial growth of eucalyptus. This study aimed to assess the effect of carfentrazone-ethyl and glyphosate drift on photosynthesis, leaf morphoanatomy, and initial growth of two clones of Eucalyptus grandis. Two experiments were carried out in a 2 x 4 factorial scheme, in which factor 1 was represented by two clones of E. grandis and factor 2 by four herbicide underdoses (control, 86.4 g a.e. ha-1 of glyphosate, 3.0 g a.e. ha-1 of carfentrazone-ethyl, and the mixture of 86.4 g a.e. ha-1 of glyphosate + 3.0 g a.e. ha-1 of carfentrazone-ethyl). Herbicide application was carried out by simulating the drift in the lower third of seedling canopy. Assessments were performed 23 days after herbicide application. Both clones presented morphoanatomical changes such as erosion of epicuticular waxes and degeneration of epidermal and parenchymal cells, especially when exposed to carfentrazone-ethyl underdose or its mixture with glyphosate. The clone CLR 383 was the most affected by the tested herbicides and presented the highest injury, lowest initial growth, lowest dry matter, and highest reduction of photosynthetic rate when treated with herbicide mixture, followed by carfentrazone-ethyl and glyphosate underdoses. The initial growth, dry matter, and photosynthesis of the clone CLR 384 were not affected by the carfentrazone-ethyl underdose. Thus, both herbicides applied in isolation or in a mixture reduced the initial growth, dry matter, and photosynthesis of eucalyptus.

title: Electrodeposition of Co-rich Cu-Co Alloys from Sodium Tartrate Baths Using Direct (DC) and Single Pulsed Current (SPC)

description: Cu-Co alloys were electrodeposited on steel substrates from alkaline sodium tartrate electrolyte using direct and single pulsed current (DC and SPC, respectively). The electrodeposition bath was composed by 0.02 mol L−1 of CuSO4.5H2O, 0.10 mol L−1 of CoSO4.7H2O and 0.50 mol L−1 of Na2C4H4O6.4H2O. Using both kind of deposition processes, it was verified that the applied current density (j) affected the cathodic current efficiency (Ef), the copper and cobalt contents in the coatings (wt. % Cu and wt. % Co, respectively), the morphology and the anticorrosive performance of the coatings (based on the transfer charge resistance, (Rct) values). Comparing the results obtained for DC and SPC coatings, those produced by single pulsed current improved the Ef values and decreased the grain sizes. Concerning the conditions used in this work, the coating produced under the conditions of Experiment 4’, using jm = 40 A m-2 and SPC mode, presented 15.9 wt. % Co, the most compact morphology, the smallest grain size and the highest Rct value after 24 h of exposure in the saline medium.

title: Influence of Density and Development Stage of Ryegrass on Glyphosate Effectiveness

description: ABSTRACT : Glyphosate is one of the main herbicides used to control ryegrass. The objective of this research was to evaluated whether the glyphosate dose-response curve is affected by density of ryegrass plants in two phenological growth stages. To attend this objective, two experiments were carried out in greenhouse (one with Lolium multiflorum and another with Lolium rigidum) and two under field conditions. In the greenhouse experiments, the experimental design was a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme, with factor A as plant density and factor B as glyphosate doses. In the field, two experiments were carried out in a randomized block design in a split-plot scheme. Plots consisted of glyphosate doses (0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 250, and 350 g ha-1), and the subplots consisted of three ryegrass densities (8 plants m-2, 140 plants m-2 with thinning before herbicide application, and 140 plants m-2 with thinning after herbicide application). In one experiment, glyphosate was sprayed at 28 days after emergence (DAE), whereas in another the application was carried out at 51 DAE. High-density ryegrass plants required a higher herbicide dose to obtain the same level of control of low-density plants. In addition to the density effect, an increased glyphosate dose was necessary for the late application to obtain the same level of control when compared to the initial application. Herbicide effectiveness was affected by population density and plant development stage.

title: Phytosociological Survey of Sugarcane Crop Weeds in Different Agroecological Areas in Tucumán Province, Argentina

description: ABSTRACT: Weeds constitute the main constraint on the productivity of sugarcane agroecosystems in Argentina. This work aimed to analyze the floristic and phytosociological composition of sugarcane weed communities in different agroecological areas in Tucumán. Fifteen plots from each area were sampled 60 to 90 days after crop shooting, by throwing a 0.5 m x 0.5 m quadrat metallic frame six times in random directions in each of the plots. Species found within the frame were identified. Later, fresh and dry biomass weight were calculated per quadrat sample and species. Frequency, density, dominance, importance value index, Shannon-Wiener and Simpson species diversity index and Jaccard similarity index were calculated. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) was used to interpret similarity. Overall, 35 species were identified, 24 of which were dicotyledons and 11 monocotyledons. Eighteen of them were annual species, versus 17 which were perennial. Considering IVI, the most outstanding families were Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Amaranthaceae and Asteraceae. The results obtained in all the areas revealed the importance of the species Panicum maximum, Sorghum halepense, Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon and Euphorbia hyssopifolia. The areas with greater and less diversity were the Depressed Plain-Non-Saline Depressed Plain Subregion and the Subhumid-Humid Chaco-Pampean Plain, respectively. There was a 53% similarity between the Depressed Plain-Saline Depressed Plain and the Depressed Plain-Non-Saline Depressed Plain, and a 47% similarity between the Humid and Perhumid Foothills and the Subhumid-Humid Chaco-Pampean Plain. Hierarchical clustering and Jaccard index led to similar results.

title: Leaching of Herbicides Commonly Applied to Sugarcane in Five Agricultural Soils

description: ABSTRACT: Leaching intensity depends on the physicochemical properties of soils and herbicides. Consequently, a good understanding of this process is essential to determine mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate the risk of water contamination around areas with sugarcane crops. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the leaching of ametryn, diuron, hexazinone, and metribuzin by using columns in five soils with different physicochemical properties cultivated with sugarcane. The radiolabeled herbicides with 14C were evaluated at six soil depths (0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, 0.10-0.15, 0.15-0.20, 0.20-0.25, and 0.25-0.30 m) and in the leachate after 200 mm rainfall simulation for 48 h. Herbicide leaching was mostly affected by soil type. Ametryn and diuron were reported in the highest amount (&gt;87%) on the topsoil (0-0.05 m), which was indicative of the low leaching of these two herbicides in the soil profile. Thus, these herbicides can contaminate surface water by runoff. Leachate percentage was always &lt;0.3% for ametryn, diuron, and metribuzin; this was also the case for hexazinone in two out of the five soils. Hexazinone proved to be a potential contaminant of groundwater and metribuzin presented high leaching in the soil profile. Previous knowledge of the physico-chemical properties of soils cultivated with sugarcane is essential to recommend the use of these herbicides in weed management.

title: Phytochemical Profile of Pasture Weeds from the Brazilian Cerrado

description: ABSTRACT: The great diversity of plant species in pastures of the Brazilian Cerrado with distinct ecophysiological characteristics indicates the possibility of finding, in the cellular content of this flora, chemical compounds with potential for use in agriculture and human and animal health. Three steps are necessary to prove this hypothesis: phytochemical prospecting, characterization of secondary metabolites, and studies on the biological activities of these metabolites present in these plants. The chemical profile of secondary metabolites present in five species of the Brazilian Cerrado (Davilla elliptica, Remijia ferruginea, Luehea paniculata, Anacardium occidentale, and Acosmium dasycarpum) was traced in this research. These plant species were collected in pasture areas of Felício dos Santos, Minas Gerais. The samples were dried and submitted to two types of extract (ethanolic and hexanic). By using specific chemical reactions, the presence of coumarins, triterpenes/steroids, and anthracenosides was observed in the hexanic extracts, while the presence of alkaloids, triterpenes/steroids, flavonoids, tannins, reducing compounds, and anthocyanins was observed in the ethanolic extracts. The species presented diverse classes of compounds. However, triterpenes/steroids, tannins, reducing compounds and anthocyanins were found in all species, being the use of the solvent ethanol the most efficient in extracting the compounds. The species D. elliptica presented the highest number of classes of compounds. The widespread application in folk medicine justifies further studies on the biological activity of different metabolites in agriculture and health areas.

title: Translocation and Root Exudation of Glyphosate by Urochloa brizantha and its Transport on Sugarcane and Citrus Seedlings

description: ABSTRACT: Glyphosate is easily exuded by the roots of plants. However, there is still some lack of information in the scientific literature as to whether Urochloa brizantha is capable of exuding glyphosate to influence the growth of crops such as sugarcane and citrus. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the translocation and root exudation of 14C-glyphosate by U. brizantha and its transport in sugarcane and citrus. Sugarcane seedlings, varieties SP80-1842, and citrus ‘Limão Rosa’ (Citrus limonia L. Osbeck) were cultivated with U. brizantha around the seedlings. Using a microsphere, 14C-glyphosate was applied on the leaves of U. brizantha. The plants were cultured for 12 days after treatment (DAT). The radioactivity of the herbicide was evaluated by liquid scintillation spectrometer, after oxidizing the soil and parts of the plants (leaves, culms and roots) of U. brizantha, sugarcane and citrus. The highest amount of glyphosate was detected in the U. brizantha leaves, where the applications were carried out, regardless of the culture studied. Only traces of glyphosate (0.001%) were detected in soil cultivated with sugarcane. On the other hand, in citrus, U. brizantha exuded 9.46% of the glyphosate by the root system in the soil. The total amount of herbicide found in sugarcane and citrus seedlings was only 0.006 and 0.095%, respectively, in all parts of the plant. These concentrations are lower than those required to cause intoxication in those crops. Considering the results, it is possible to state that the translocation of glyphosate in young plants of U. brizantha associated with citrus was higher in relation to sugarcane, and it was not exuded by the root system of the weed with sugarcane, but presented root exudation with citrus, however, the amount did not reach what is necessary to affect the dry mass of the agricultural crops.

title: The anatomic analysis of the vidian canal and the surrounding structures concerning vidian neurectomy using computed tomography scans

description: Abstract Introduction: The type of endoscopic approach chosen for vidian neurectomy can be specified by evaluating the vidian canal and the surrounding sphenoid sinus structures. Objective: The variations and morphometry of the vidian canal were investigated, focusing on the functional correlations between them which are crucial anatomical landmarks for preoperative planning. Methods: This study was performed using paranasal multidetector computed tomography images that were obtained with a section thickening of 0.625 mm of 250 adults. Results: The distributions of 500 vidian canal variants were categorized as follows; Type 1, within the sphenoid corpus (55.6%); Type 2, partially protruding into the sphenoid sinus (34.8%); Type 3, within the sphenoid sinus (9.6%). The pneumatization of the pterygoid process is mostly seen in vidian canal Type 2 (72.4%) and Type 3 (95.8%) (p &lt; 0.001). The mean distances from the vidian canal to the foramen rotundum and the palatovaginal canal were greater in the vidian canal Type 2 and 3 with the pterygoid process pneumatization (p &lt; 0.001). The prevalence of the intrasphenoid septum between the vidian canal and the vomerine crest and lateral attachment which ending on carotid prominence were much higher in vidian canal Type 3 than other types (p &lt; 0.001). The mean angle between the posterior end of the middle turbinate and the lateral margin of the anterior opening of the vidian canal was measured as 33.05 ± 7.71°. Conclusions: Preoperative radiologic analysis of the vidian canal and the surrounding structures will allow surgeons to choose an appropriate endoscopic approach to ensure predictable postoperative outcomes.

title: Abiotic parameters and planktonic community of an earthen fish pond with continuous water flow

description: Abstract Aim Limnological conditions, phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in a fishpond highly affected by management during the dry and rainy seasons are investigated. Methods Water samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters; soil samples were analyzed for macro- and micro-nutrients, phytoplankton and zooplankton communities, at four sites, during eight months in the rainy and dry seasons. Distance-based linear model (DISTLM) was applied with Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), where the influence of environmental variables in the variation of phytoplankton and zooplankton composition could be assessed and the best model could be selected. Results The multiparameter test revealed that variables pH, TSS and TP better explain the composition of the biotic community (AICc = 45.6; R2 = 0.80). Chlorophyceae was the dominant group with 32 taxa, or rather, 75-85% of total phytoplankton, with high density at 2,365-4,180 ind.L-1 during the sampling period. Rotifera was the most abundant group in the zooplankton community during the two seasons, except at IW2 during the dry season, when Copepoda had a higher density, namely, 52% of total zooplankton community at this site. Conclusions The contribution of allochthonous material to the fishpond during the two seasons mainly consists of macro- and micro-nutrients and thermotolerant coliforms that influenced the plankton community and enhanced high Cyanobacteria density in the rainy season. Plankton community in the studied pond was characteristic of small water bodies. Management protocol in places with continuous water flow according to the region may be an important tool to optimize and to avoid risks in fish production.

title: Perennial scientific distortions and their consequences to science teaching: the relationship among electricity, magnetism and heat

description: Abstract Historical distortions can promote a misunderstanding on science and to bring undesirable consequences to science teaching. In this work, we discuss a historical case study in which the description of a research was conveniently altered during their dissemination. As consequence, a distortion of concepts and procedures persists in history of science. This historical case is an example that to attribute facts, concepts and equations to a historical character implies more than a simple illustration.
