title: Exogenous application of salicylic acid in yellow passion fruit for the control of fruit woodiness virus

description: ABSTRACT: The effect of salicylic acid (SA) was evaluated in control of Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV), which induces hardening of the fruits of passion fruit (EFM). Also, its influence on the expression of symptoms and the activation of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidases were evaluated. The experiment was designed and conducted in a completely random way. The treatments consisted of SA (2.5 mM) and control (10% ethanol), applied 12 hours before mechanical inoculation of CABMV, the causal agent of EFM in Brazil. A similar experiment was conducted under the same conditions, but four applications were performed weekly after CABMV mechanical inoculation. In both experiments a rating scale ranging from 0 to 3 was used to assess the severity of the disease. To evaluate the activity of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase, the plants were treated (SA and control) and, after 12 hours, inoculated with isolated CABMV. Leaf samplings were performed at 0, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the treatments (HAT), processed and analyzed in a spectrophotometer to verify the activation of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase. At 30 days after inoculation (DAI), the SA applied once promoted reduction of 57.1% of the severity, when compared with the control. In plants subjected to SA weekly applications, it was found a significantly reduction in the expression of symptoms at 45 DAI. In the biochemical assays, a significant increase in peroxidase in 12-hour intervals (DAI)/24 hours (HAT) was observed. For polyphenol oxidase, a significant increase of its activity was observed at 24 hour intervals (DAI)/48 hours (HAT). It is suggested that SA may represent an additional tool in the management of EFM.

title: Effect of bagging on the incidence of fruit flies and in the quality of guavas

description: ABSTRACT: This research aimed to determine the optimal size of guava fruits to be bagged, and to evaluate the efficiency of different bagging at the control of fruits flies, as well as their correlation with the fruit quality. The work was conducted in a commercial guava orchard of Paluma variety at the municipality of Crato, in Cariri region, Ceará, Brazil, from October 2011 until April 2012. Popcorn bags, parchment paper bags, newspaper bags, micropierced plastic bags, TNT and the control were tested in four groups of fruits diameters: first group (2.0 to 3.0 cm), second group (3.1 to 4.0 cm), third group (4.1 to 5.0 cm) and fourth group (5.1 to 6.0 cm). Fruits were collected when they became mature and after each collect they were transferred to the Laboratory of Entomology of the Federal University of Cariri in order to evaluate the fruit flies attacks and the physicochemical parameters of the fruits. Bagging the guava is effective to avoid attacks from fruit flies, regardless of the type of bag used. Moreover, one can recommend bagging the guava with diameter less than 2 cm. Fruits were heavier, larger in length and with better Brix degrees when bagged in newspaper bags, with diameters ranging from 4.1 to 5.0 cm. On the other hand, to obtain fruits with larger diameters, one can recommend bagging the fruits with 5.1 to 6.0 cm in diameter.

title: Abundance and potential impact of granivorous birds on irrigated rice cultivation, Itajaí, Santa Catarina, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT: The assemblage of granivorous birds in the irrigated paddy-fields was evaluated over an annual cultivation cycle by means of 12 monthly samplings undertaken in each of 3 areas (of a total of 90 ha) in Itajaí, Santa Catarina, between August 2010 and July 2011. Of a total of 10 species, distributed among 5 families and 2 orders, Sturnella superciliaris (43.88%) and Sicalis flaveola (36.88%) were the most abundant. The regular species contributed with 45.17%, followed by the occasional (30.37%) and the seasonal (24.43%). Only the abundance of S. flaveola presented significant differences between the months of sampling (F11-33 = 7.1290, p &lt; 0.01) as a result of the lower values recorded in December and January. The diversity and evenness indices showed similar fluctuation, with mean values ranging between 0.47 ± 1.37 and 0.29 ± 0.83, respectively. The average losses per hectare, due to the action of S. superciliaris and S. flaveola , were 8.35 ± 1.66 and 6.10 ± 1.48 kg of rice, equivalent to R$ 49.07 in the 3 areas monitored, giving a total average annual loss of 82.9 kg for the 90 ha of rice monitored.

title: Sensibility of isolates of entomopathogenic fungi to solar radiation, ultraviolet rays and temperature

description: ABSTRACT: This study aimed to access the sensibility of isolates of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorok. and Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. to the effect of solar and ultraviolet radiation and temperature. Conidia were exposed for various periods to the rays from a solar simulator at various irradiances, and to light germicidal ultraviolet rays. Conidia of the isolate of M. anisopliae were also exposed to temperatures of 19.5, 24.2 and 31.0ºC and the isolate of B. bassiana to 19.4, 20.8 and 28.3ºC, and also to 18.7, 23.8 and 30.9ºC. The germination of conidia was evaluated by the viability test. The fungal isolates showed to be very sensitive to the solar simulator and ultraviolet rays. Germination of both was significantly decreased starting from 30 minutes of exposure to the rays of the solar simulator. The most severe effect was evidenced by the isolate of B. bassiana with great reduction in conidia germination in all the tested irradiances. Sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation was also great, showing a marked reduction in the germination of M. anisopliae (38.2%) and B. bassiana (65%) conidia after 30 seconds of exposure. The temperature affected the viability of both fungi. Temperatures ranging of 23.8 to 31ºC favor the germination of conidia while temperatures around 20ºC constrained germination.

title: Chemical composition and efficacy of essential oil and ethanol extract of Alpinia zerumbet on Staphylococcus aureus

description: ABSTRACT: The present work describes the antibacterial activity of the essential oil and the ethanol extract from leaves of Alpinia zerumbet (colônia) on Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from cows with subclinical mastitis and standard strains ATCC 29213 and ATCC 25923, using the agar diffusion method. Ten treatments containing different concentrations of essential oil and ethanol extract (100.0; 50.0; 25.0; 12.5 and 6.3 mg.mL-1) and the control group (50% ethyl alcohol and 1% Tween solutions) were used for antimicrobial testing. The major constituents of the essential oil were p -cimeno (32.72%), 1.8-cineol (24.05%) and 4-terpineol (20.23%), which were determined by gas chromatographymass spectrometry and gas chromatography - flame ionization detector (CG-MS/FID). Ellagic acid and three flavonoids (rutin, quercetin and campferol) were detected in the ethanol extract by means of high performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector (HPLC-PDA). All strains showed sensitivity to the treatments with essential oil and the ethanol extract. The best response was obtained with A. zerumbet essential oil at a 100 mg.mL-1, showing complete inhibition of bacterial growth. These results demonstrate the antibacterial potential of essential oil and ethanol extract of A. zerumbet in the control of bovine mastitis.

title: Stability of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. conidia stored in different packagings

description: ABSTRACT: One of the limiting factors in the use of more substantial amounts of entomopathogenic fungi is the difficulty in maintaining conidial viability for long periods in storage. The need for developing formulations and packaging that would increase the shelf life of these microorganisms is therefore important. Considering this, this study aimed to identify packaging types that would maintain conidial viability for long storage periods at different temperatures. A granular B. bassiana (CG 432) mixture (conidia and parboiled rice) was used, stored in three different packaging types: Coex, metallized polyester, and polyethylene, which were stored in refrigerator (6 ± 2°C) and in an incubator (25 ± 1°C) for 180 days. Germination percentage and water content were the parameters used to evaluate packaging influence on conidial viability. The conidia stored in Coex packaging showed the highest germination percentage in refrigerator and at room temperature during the entire storage period. This packaging also provided the lowest water acquisition by the conidia during storage. Regardless of packaging, the conidia stored in refrigerator showed the highest germination percentage in relation to those stored at room temperature (25 ± 1°C).

title: the real estate market integration and the second home - the metropolitan Brazil

description: The integration of the land market in metropolitan regions is one of the aspects responsible for the expansion of second home settlements in Brazil. This expansion of domiciles known as DOU (Domiciles of Occasional Use), from the relative point of view, is concentrated in the peripheral municipalities, once the metropolitan cores are considered controlling centers of land and real estate of this type of habitation. The analysis reveals the trend of monopoly exerted from the metropolitan cores, which results in problems of economic and social order for the municipalities with major concentrations of domiciles of occasional use.

title: Antimicrobial activity of mouth rinses against bacteria that initially colonizes dental’s surface

description: Abstract Introduction Much advertising in mouthwash is conveyed in all media appealing to the anti-plaque effect and rendering a disservice to the community. Mouth rinses are available over-the-count and differ on their compositions and antimicrobial effectiveness. Objective In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of 35 widely available mouth rinses against bacterial species involved in initiation of dental biofilm – Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus salivarius, and Streptococcus sanguinis. Material and method The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the evaluated mouth rinses were determined according to the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute protocols. Data were submitted to Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney post hoc (α=0.05). Result About 70% of the mouth rinses achieved high antibacterial activity and 30%, a low antibacterial activity against all the species tested. The most ineffective mouth rinse showed antibacterial activity (MIC) at 1:1 dilution, while the most effective showed activity even at 1:2048 dilution, which may imply prolonged effect in the mouth. About 51% of mouth rinses showed bactericidal activity, and it was verified that cetylpyridinium chloride or chlorhexidine digluconate containing in the formulation were associated with the highest activity. Conclusion Most - but not all - mouth rinses commercially available are effective in inhibiting in vitro initial colonizers of dental surfaces.
