title: BRS Juruti: the first Brazilian habanero-type hot pepper cultivar

description: ABSTRACT: The Habanero hot pepper group is not well known in Brazil, despite its origin in the Amazon. Nevertheless, domestic and international markets have been increasing the demand for this type of hot pepper. The Brazilian agroindustry is interested in supplying part of this demand with high quality products and competitive prices, and it needs well-adapted cultivars. To fill this gap, Embrapa Vegetables developed the Habanero pepper cultivar BRS Juruti, which meets the demands of both the market for fresh fruit and the processing agroindustry of mash and sauces. Cultivar BRS Juruti has red fruits and yielded around 50 t/ha (36,000 plants/ha). Fruit pungency is circa 260,000 SHU and fruits have high content of vitamin C (122 mg/100 g). BRS Juruti is resistant to several viruses, Oidiopsis sicula, and Meloidogyne javanica, and presents intermediate resistance to key bacterial diseases; and is highly uniform in comparison with the original population. Cultivar BRS Juruti is recommended for open field (specially adapted to the Central Region of Brazil), as well as greenhouse/screenhouse cultivation. BRS Juruti has been registered (RNC 32010) and protected (DOU 01/09/2015) in theBrazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and FoodSupply (MAPA). Breeders' seed is being made available to interested parties in the private sector.

title: Susceptibility of Bemisia tabaci biotype B to insecticides

description: ABSTRACT: The association between some plant pathogenic viruses and their vectors may or may not alter the action of chemical control. This study aimed at evaluating the susceptibility of viruliferous (transmitter of the begomovirus Tomato severe rugose virus, ToSRV) and aviruliferous (non-transmitter of ToSRV) Bemisia tabaci biotype B to the main insecticides registered to its control in tomato crops. Two sets of experiments were carried out with tomato plants and foliar discs of jack beans. The treatments were schemed in a factorial design of 7 (six insecticides + control) and 5 (four insecticides + control) x 2 {viruliferous (V) or aviruliferous (AV) whiteflies (WF)} and arranged in completely randomized blocks design with six and 25 replications, respectively, for tomato and jack beans. The following insecticides and concentrations were evaluated: a) tomato: acephate (100 g), clothianidin (20 g), pymetrozine (40 g), pyriproxyfen (75 mL) and thiametoxan (20 g of a.i./100 L), and diafenthiuron (800 g of a.i./300 L of solution); b) jack beans: acephate (100 g), thiametoxan (20 g), pymetrozine (40 g of a.i./100 L) and diafenthiuron (800 g of a.i./300 L). The insecticide susceptibility of whiteflies was not altered by their viruliferous condition (V or AV). The insecticides diafenthiuron (87.68%±4.96) and thiametoxam (43.94%±9.43) caused the highest mortality of whiteflies in tomatoes. In jack beans, diafenthiuron (92.01%±2.68) and thiametoxam (86,39%±2,74) caused similar mortality. Among the tested insecticides, diafenthiuron was the only one causing significant mortality of B. tabaci biotype B.

title: Phosphate fertilization over the accumulation of macronutrients in cauliflower seed production

description: abstract Considering the scarce information on nutrient extraction by plants for seed production within vegetable crops, as well as the effect of fertilization over extraction, studying nutrient accumulation in different plant parts under varied fertilization rates is necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of phosphate rates on macronutrient accumulation in cauliflower plants during seed production. Five phosphate rates were studied (0, 300, 600, 900 and 1200 kg/ha P2O5), in a randomized complete block design, with four replications. Accumulation of nutrients in the different plant parts was evaluated at the end of the cycle (vegetative and reproductive, the latter divided in seeds and inflorescence). Data were submitted to analysis of variance and regression. Considering only the seeds, a quadratic effect was obtained for the accumulation of all macronutrients, with maximum estimated for rates between 858 and 952 kg/ha P2O5. Considering the whole plant (total accumulation), a linear increase for P, Ca and S was obtained the higher the P2O5 rates, while the effect was quadratic for N, K and Mg accumulation. The total nutrient accumulation descending order was: K&gt;N&gt;Ca&gt;S&gt;P&gt;Mg, and considering only the seeds was: N&gt;S&gt;K&gt;P&gt;Ca&gt;Mg, S being highlighted as the second most accumulated nutrient in the seeds.

title: Reuse water and urban horticulture: alliance towards more sustainable cities

description: ABSTRACT The need to rethink current models of using water resources in the various sectors of human activity is escalating, as thousands of people in different regions of the world are suffering from clean water shortage for their basic daily needs. In this context, the use of recycled water from treated domestic sewage in agricultural activities is gaining ground. Reuse water can combine environmental protection and high agricultural productivity, especially for simultaneously carrying plant nutrients and minimizing demands for catching "noble" fresh water from streams and water sources for irrigation, currently the highest water consuming activity. The increasing urbanization contributes to generate, but also to foster the treatment and use of wastewater, since urban areas are, at one time, chief water consumers and chief sewage producers. Although there are cultural and sanitary impediments for using recycled water on large scale and the knowledge about possible existing treatments is still limited, a safe alternative to integrate the reuse water into the productive process is its use in irrigation projects involving non edible species. Among these, plants used in floriculture and landscaping can be great allies for the development of wastewater-based urban and peri-urban horticulture, encouraging local development, creating jobs and aiding to environmental protection. We critically discuss these possibilities in this article.

title: Ultra high diluted arsenic reduces spore germination of Alternaria brassicicola and dark leaf spot in cauliflower

description: ABSTRACT A major problem in cauliflower crop is the fungus Alternaria brassicicola, which causes dark leaf spot on Brassicaceae family. The current use of copper salts in agriculture is questioned. In fact, these products present some disadvantages, connected mainly with their deposits in the soil and toxicity on plants. This work investigated the effects of arsenic treatments, in ultra high diluted form (UHD), prepared by a process of repeated dilution and succussion (shaking), through: 1) in vitro germination experiments, where spores of A. brassicicola were suspended in the treatments; 2) in planta experiments and 3) a field trial, where cauliflower plants infected by the fungus were sprayed with treatments. The results showed that ultra high dilutions of arsenic (where no more molecules of this substance are present) were effective in all the experiments, inhibiting spore germination by 60.0%, controlling fungal disease in in planta experiments (relative efficacy of 42.1%), and, in field trial, decreasing the mean infection level in cauliflower heads by 45.7% and 41.6% in artificially inoculated and naturally infected plants, respectively. This is the first study to demonstrate that ultra high dilutions effectively reduce in vitro spore germination and infection of A. brassicicola in cauliflower plants, both under controlled conditions and in the field. Our research is still very experimental, however, in light of the significant results obtained with ultra-diluted arsenic, and given that its extreme high dilution level precludes any toxicity or accumulation in the environment, the use of UHDs could be considered a potential and reliable approach for sustainable agriculture.

title: Models for estimating yacon leaf area

description: ABSTRACT The recent exploration of yacon demands scientific information for improving the crop production technology. This study aimed to set a leaf area estimate model for yacon plants, using non-destructive measurements of leaf length (L) and/or width (W). Sixty-four representative yacon plants were randomly selected in an experimental field during the full vegetative growth. One thousand leaves of various sizes were taken from those plants for setting and validating a model. The logarithmic model best fitted this purpose, the result of multiplying length by width being used as independent variable. Yacon leaf area can be determined with high precision and accuracy by LALW = (-27.7418 + (3.9812LW / ln LW ) , disregarding the leaf size.

title: Physiological response of cidró to different water replacement levels in two seasons of the year

description: ABSTRACT We aimed to determine the response of cidró (Aloysia triphylla) submitted to different water replacement levels in summer and winter, in order to understand and relate the plant physiological performance under adverse weather conditions. The research was developed in a protected environment, in the city of Frederico Westphalen, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized, arranged in a 2x4x2 factorial scheme, two seasons of the year (summer and winter), four water availability (50, 75, 100, 125% of ETo) and two faces of leaf (abaxial and adaxial), with four replications. There were evaluated stomatal vapor diffusion resistance (s/cm), transpiration (µg/cm2/s) and leaf temperature (°C), on both faces of the leaf from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., 45 days after the beginning of the season. We concluded that the physiological response of cidró plants was influenced by water replacement levels, in a different way according to the seasons of the year. The summer season was responsible for the highest values of incident photosynthetically active radiation, leaf temperature, transpiration and stomatal vapor diffusion resistance. The reduction in water availability promoted the increase in values for stomatal resistance to vapor flow, reducing leaf transpiration rate. The incident photosynthetically active radiation, leaf temperature and transpiration showed highest values on the abaxial face of the studied species.

title: Yield and quality of the Tetsukabuto squash fruits induced with 2,4-D doses under dry conditions

description: ABSTRACT Squashes and pumpkins are known and grown worldwide, including the Tetsukabuto type, a hybrid of Japanese origin. On this work, we evaluated yield and quality of parthenocarpic fruits of hybrid Tetsukabuto developed with the use of 2,4-D doses, in the climatic conditions of the Brazilian semiarid, in the city of Pombal, state of Paraíba, Brazil. The experiment was carried out from February to May 2013, in complete blocks at random and five replications. Treatments corresponded to five 2,4-D doses (0, 90, 180, 270, and 360 mg/L) applied to female flowers, and a control treatment, where fruits developed out of insect pollinated flowers. We evaluated number of flowers per plant, duration of flowering, number of fruits per plant (used to estimate number of fruits per hectare), fruit set index, fruit mass and transversal and longitudinal diameters, pulp thickness and content of soluble solids, total fruit production and yield. Number of fruits per plant and fruit mass increased 269.5 and 15.4%, respectively, with 212.1 mg/L and 360.0 mg/L of 2,4-D, when compared to the control treatment. Increasing the 2,4-D dose from 0.0 to 241.4 mg/L resulted in 38.2% rise in plant production. Correlations were significant only for number of flowers x number of fruits per plant (NF) and NF x yield, with coefficients of 87.5 and 82.7%, respectively. These results indicate that fruit induction using 2,4-D resulted in higher fruit set, independent of the 2,4-D dose applied.
