title: Influence of potassium fertilization on quality and antioxidant potential of sapodilla at different development stages

description: ABSTRACT The chemical composition and stage of maturation may interfere with harvest point of sapodilla depending on the destination of the fruit. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of potassium fertilization on quality and antioxidant potential of sapodilla at different development stages. The experiment was carried out on farm Norfruit, in Pau Branco, Mossoró, RN. The experimental design was completely randomized blocks in a 5 × 6 factorial scheme, consisting of five doses of potassium (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 g K for plant) and six development stages, with five repetitions. The fruits were marked when reaching 10 to 15 mm in length, being collected and evaluated after 90, 120, 150, 180, and 200 days after being marked and when they were fully mature (after eight days of storage at 25 ± 2 °C and RH 58 ± 5%). Sapodilla can be harvested 200 days after full bloom, when it reaches its maximum size and presents adequate quality for consumption. The ripe sapodilla has higher concentration of sugar and lower concentration of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity. The dose of 400 g of K per plant generated fruits of greater mass, with higher concentration of polyphenols and antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of sapodilla is more correlated with total extractable polyphenol concentration.

title: Use of garlic-based product associated with pruning on the performance of fine grapevines

description: ABSTRACT The wine industry is a very important activity on the national scenery, having important role in diversification and incorporation of income for small farms. The aim of the present study was to evaluate intensities and pruning times associated with the use of products for bud breaking dormancy in Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine varieties in Marechal Cândido Rondon, Paraná State, Brazil. Two experiments were carried out, in which the experimental design was a randomized block design. The first experiment was done in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme (three pruning intensities, (short, long, and mixed pruning) × two commercial products for bud breaking dormancy (Dormex® and Natualho®), containing five blocks and one plant/block, totaling 30 plants of Cabernet Franc grapevine variety grafted onto ‘RR 101-14’ rootstocks. Pruning and application of the products through spraying until complete wetting of the plants were carried out on August 17, 2013. The second experiment consisted of a 4 × 2 factorial scheme (four pruning times × two commercial products for bud breaking dormancy), containing four blocks and one plant/block, totaling 32 plants of Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine variety, grafted on the ‘RR 101-14’ rootstocks. After pruning in the two experiments, the following vegetative characteristics were evaluated: number of buds/plant; number of shoots/plant; phenological stage of “cotton bud”, used as sprouting pattern; percentage of sprouted buds; and length of time from pruning to stabilization of sprouting. Garlic extract did not show efficiency in the plant bud breaking dormancy. Variety Cabernet Franc showed better results in vegetative parameters when subjected to heavy pruning. The last pruning time showed better results for the vegetative characteristics of variety Cabernet Sauvignon.

title: Spatial variability of soybean leaf nutrient concentrations related to chemical attributes of an Oxisol

description: ABSTRACT The study of soil properties and plant using geostatistics, and the consequent generation of management maps, result in the rational use of fertilizers and thus to reduce costs for producers. In the agricultural year 2013/2014, in Selvíria (MS) aimed to evaluate the linear and spatial dependence of the attributes Ca, Mg, H+Al, Al, SB, CTC and m of an Oxisol, with foliar concentrations of Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn soybean (Glycine max L.) grown in tillage. A sampling network was installed to collect soil and plant data, with 100 sampling points distributed random, in an area of 7,980 m2. The results of geostatistical analysis showed that for the evaluated attributes there was spatial dependence. The lower reaches were observed the constant variations of the area by staging a production system. Both linear and spatially, soil CTC was good indicator of foliar concentrations of Ca and S soybean under no-tillage.

title: Heat and mass transfer coefficients and modeling of infrared drying of banana slices

description: ABSTRACT Banana is one of the most consumed fruits in the world, having a large part of its production performed in tropical countries. This product possesses a wide range of vitamins and minerals, being an important component of the alimentation worldwide. However, the shelf life of bananas is short, thus requiring procedures to prevent the quality loss and increase the shelf life. One of these procedures widely used is drying. This work aimed to study the infrared drying process of banana slices (cv. Prata) and determine the heat and mass transfer coefficients of this process. In addition, effective diffusion coefficient and relationship between ripening stages of banana and drying were obtained. Banana slices at four different ripening stages were dried using a dryer with infrared heating source with four different temperatures (65, 75, 85, and 95 ºC). Midilli model was the one that best represented infrared drying of banana slices. Heat and mass transfer coefficients varied, respectively, between 46.84 and 70.54 W m-2 K-1 and 0.040 to 0.0632 m s-1 for temperature range, at the different ripening stages. Effective diffusion coefficient ranged from 1.96 to 3.59 × 10-15 m² s-1. Activation energy encountered were 16.392, 29.531, 23.194, and 25.206 kJ mol-1 for 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 7th ripening stages, respectively. Ripening stages did not affect the infrared drying of bananas.

title: Crown cover of native trees in the structural development of reforestations in Rondônia

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to assess the initial development of a reforestation structure using the crown projection method as an indicator to monitor the recovery in degraded areas in the State of Rondônia. The method consisted of correlating canopy projection data with structural performance variables of six native tree species of the Amazon region. The study found that the species “large acacia” had the best capacity to promote shading, favor rapid covering, protection, and stabilization of the soil in the initial phase, at 24 months, with a crown area of 62.82 m². The crown projection method was suitable to identify the native trees that stand out in the initial years of restoration of degraded areas. The method can be used to indicate variations in the structural development of species as a function of site quality and to assist in determining the feasibility of native tree species selected for reforestation. Therefore, further studies on this approach are needed to develop models of crown cover prediction and validate crown cover as an indicator of reforestation development in restoration processes in the Amazon region.

title: Meteorological variables and morphological characteristics influencing the evapotranspiration of forage cactus

description: ABSTRACT Despite belonging to the same photosynthetic group (CAM - Crassulacean Acid Metabolism), evapotranspiration of distinct species of forage cactus may respond differently to meteorological variables and depends on its growth dynamics. The objective of this work was to analyze the contribution of meteorological variables and morphological characteristics of cladodes and the plants on the evapotranspiration of forage cactus species of the genus Nopalea and Opuntia. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, State of Pernambuco, where the species ‘IPA Sertânia’ (Nopalea sp.), ‘Miúda’ (Nopalea sp.) and ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (Opuntia sp.) were submitted to different irrigation depths (2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 mm) and intervals (7, 14 and 28 days). Actual evapotranspiration and biometric data of forage cactus species and meteorological variables were obtained between March 2012 and August 2013. Pearson correlation matrix and canonical and path analysis were applied to the data. It was verified that the global solar radiation stood out as the variable that most influenced the reduction of the actual evapotranspiration (ET) of the three species, and the wind velocity as the one that affected the response of ET to the atmospheric demand variation (ET/ETo) of the species ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ and ‘IPA Sertânia’. The increase in the cladode area index implied in the reduction of ET of the latter two species, while the effects of the number of 1st and 2nd order cladodes were the most important for the ‘Miúda'. Hence, forage cactus evapotranspiration depends on the seasonality of the meteorological conditions and the morphological characteristics of its species.

title: Parasitism of the mealybug Planococcus citri (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) by Coccidoxenoides perminutus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)

description: ABSTRACT Planococcus citri is an important pest of vine in the Submedium São Francisco River Valley and its parasitism by Coccidoxenoides perminutus, which naturally occurs in this region, was studied by determining the parameters of functional response. The experiments were carried out using grape leaf (cv. Syrah) disks with second instar mealybug at densities of 2, 4, 8, 14, 28, 40, and 50 nymphs. Newly emerged and fed females were confined with the nymphs for 24 h. The parasitism rate resulted in functional response of type III with the parameters handling time (Th) and attack rate (a’) of 0.9824 h and 0.00718 h-1, respectively. A correlation of 94.3% between parasitism observed and estimated by the functional response model was observed, with a maximum of 27 and 24.44 nymphs parasitized in 24 h, respectively. The results showed that the parasitoid exhibited a density-dependent response between 2 and 28 nymphs under the studied conditions. Also, emergence of parasitoids from mummified nymphs were 64 to 95% and varied as a function of the densities used. The results showed that the functional response of C. perminutus to nymphs of P. citri is type III and that the rate of emergence of the parasitoid is influenced by the different densities of P. citri nymphs offered. Based on the functional response determined, C. perminutus presents potential for pest control, contributing with information for a future program of biological control.

title: Forage mass, botanical composition and stocking density of bermudagrass overseeded with forage legumes

description: ABSTRACT Pastures of the genus Cynodon are being cultivated alone in conventional production with high rates of nitrogen fertilizer. Information and research about its use on mixed-pasture system is scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate three grazing systems with coastcross-1 (CC) + 100 kg N ha-1 year-1 + common vetch; CC + 100 kg N ha-1 year-1 + arrowleaf clover; and CC + 200 kg N ha-1 year-1. The experiment was carried out from May 2013 to April 2014. The sward height, forage mass, botanical composition, leaf:stem ratio, and animal stocking density were evaluated. Experimental design was completely randomized with three treatments (grazing systems) and three replicates (paddocks) in completely split-plot time (grazing cycles). The average stocking rate was 7.0, 6.8, 6.8 cows ha-1 day-1 for the respective forage systems. Better results were found with coastcross-1 mixed with common vetch + 100 kg N ha-1 year-1 in winter and spring and coastcross-1 alone + 200 kg N ha-1 year-1 in autumn.

title: Carbon dioxide quantified by the infrared in evaluation of respiratory activity of wheat seeds

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to develop and validate the methodology of carbon dioxide concentration in the evaluation of vigor of Triticum aestivum L. seeds based on infrared spectroscopy. The proposed method quantifies CO2 content using a drag system and exhaustion to the gas released by the seeds. Samples of 50 seeds of six lots of cultivar CD 123 were incubated at temperatures of 15, 25 and 40 °C. The CO2 content released after 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 h of incubation were quantified. Additionally, the percentage of normal seedlings emerged in the field were evaluated. The simple correlation coefficients were evaluated among tests. After determining the reading conditions, the precision and accuracy of the proposed method were evaluated, using 15 lots of seeds. For the evaluation of the respiratory activity in Triticum aestivum seeds, a sample of 25 seeds, incubated at 25 °C for a minimum of 12 h is recommended since it allows to classify lots with different levels of vigor and predict the establishment of seedlings in the field, being the appropriate method for measuring CO2 as it externalizes precision between successive measurements and agreement with the reference method.
