title: Controlled release fertilizer and container volumes in the production of Parapiptadenia rigida (Benth.) Brenan seedlings

description: ABSTRACT Growing demand for native tree seedlings will require improvements in quality standards of production processes through the use of more efficient cultivation techniques. This study evaluated the effects of different doses of controlled release fertilizer (CRF) and different container volumes in the production of Parapiptadenia rigida seedlings. We examined the effects of five different concentrations (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 g L-1 substrate) of CRF (18-5-9 NPK) and three different container volumes (50, 110 and 180 cm3) on seedling height (H) and collar diameter (CD) measured monthly for seven months and then calculated H/CD ratios. After 210 days of growth, the dry masses of the aerial portions, root systems, and total masses were determined, as well as the concentrations of macro- and micronutrients in the aerial portions of the seedlings. In general, the dose 9 g L-1 substrate combined with the 180 cm3 cultivation tubes demonstrated the best results in terms of the morphological variables analyzed, resulting in consistent quality seedlings for field planting.

title: Evaluation of the spatial dependence of dendrometric characteristics for an Eucalyptus plantation

description: ABSTRACT Geostatistics evaluates the spatial dependence between two or more variables in order to estimate unknown values in space. The objective of this study was to evaluate, using geostatistical techniques, the spatial variability of dendrometric characteristics for a commercial plantation of Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla located in eastern Minas Gerais, Brazil (19º28' S and 42º49' W). The diameter at breast height (DBH) and commercial height (H) of 60 trees was measured in a forest inventory plot at two, five and seven years old. The volume of each tree in the plot was estimated from allometric equations and values of DBH and H. Spatial dependence of the three dendrometric variables at different ages was evaluated by fitting the experimental semivariogram. Validation of the semivariograms was performed using the jackknife test. The dendrometric variables analyzed presented normal distribution throughout the entire production cycle according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The spherical model adequately represented the spatial distribution of dendrometric characteristics for the planted forest. The dendrometric characteristics of the analyzed plantation had an average spatial dependence, making the use of geostatistical techniques for characterization of the plantation very important.

title: Growth and photosynthetic responses during ex vitro acclimatization of Etlingera Elatior (Jack) rm smith (torch ginger)

description: ABSTRACT Torch ginger (Etlingera elatior (Jack) RM Smith) can be propagated in vitro, but there is currently little information about the stages of acclimatization and adaptation for torch ginger in a greenhouse. The objective was to study the growth responses, survival and photosynthetic response during the acclimatization of plants maintained on three different substrates (Plantmax forestry(r), sand and 1:1 Plantmax forestry(r) and sand) under three shading conditions (50% red and blue shading nets and control without shading nets). The highest leaf and shoot numbers per plant and survival rate were observed in treatments with the Plantmax forestry(r) type substrate in the absence of shading. In vitro culture plants behaved similarly or better than rhizome propagated control plants with regard to the net photosynthesis rate, carboxylation efficiency, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate. In general, for both conditions, in vitro and control plants had similar efficiency of biochemical functions and of photosystem II. These results show that plants derived from in vitro culture exhibit satisfactory physiological yield and greenhouse acclimation capacity.

title: Control of coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) with botanical insecticides and mineral oils

description: ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to evaluate botanical oils, mineral oils and an insecticide that contained azadirachtin (ICA) for the control of Hypothenemus hampei, in addition to the effects of residual castor oil. We evaluated the effectiveness of the vegetable oils of canola, sunflower, corn, soybean and castor, two mineral oils (assist(r) and naturol(r)), and the ICA for the control of H. hampei. The compounds were tested at a concentration of 3.0% (v v-1). The median lethal concentration (LC50) was estimated with Probit analysis. The oil of castor bean and extract of castor bean cake were also evaluated at concentrations of 3.0% (v v-1) and 3.0% (m v-1), respectively. The mortality rates for H. hampei caused by the ICA and the castor oil were 40.8 and 53.7%, with LC50 values of 6.71 and 3.49% (v v-1), respectively. In the castor oil, the methyl esters of the fatty acids were palmitic (1.10%), linoleic (4.50%), oleic (4.02%), stearic (0.50%) and ricinoleic acids (88.04%). The extract of the castor bean cake was not toxic to H. hampei. The persistence of the castor oil in the environment was low, and the cause of mortality for H. hampei was most likely the blockage of the spiracles, which prevented the insects from breathing.

title: Description of the application method in technical and scientific work on insecticides

description: ABSTRACT. Chemical control is a viable and practically indispensable tool in the control and management of cultivated plant pests, but insufficient detail in documenting the methods used for applying phytosanitary products has been reported in the majority of scientific publications dealing with insecticide application. A survey of 200 scientific studies was conducted to examine how much basic information was provided on the application method. The amount of descriptive detail concerning the insecticide application method was found to be below the minimum requirements. In particular, there was insufficient detail concerning the spray droplet spectrum (no information in 173 studies evaluated - 86.5%), operating pressure (38 studies - 19%), solution concentration (52 studies - 26%), distance and position of spray nozzles in relation to the target (114 studies - 57%), temperature (128 studies - 64%), relative humidity (134 studies - 67%) and wind speed (145 studies - 72.5%). All the studies evaluated contained information on the application rate used (L ha-1). To change this situation and reestablish the importance of the application method, we propose a simplified method description for the application of phytosanitary chemicals. Use of the proposed minimum methodological description is practicable for insecticide treatments and will also enable them to be accurately repeated.

title: AFLP analysis of genetic diversity in determinate and indeterminate snap bean accessions

description: ABSTRACT. The present study aimed to estimate and characterize the genetic divergence between determinate and indeterminate snap bean accessions from the Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL) germplasm bank based on amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. A total of 40 and 32 accessions with determinate and indeterminate growth habits, respectively, were characterized for this purpose. Seven combinations of primers corresponding to EcoR1 and Mse1 were tested for the AFLP analysis, and the combinations E-AAG/M-CTC, E-ACT/M-CTT and E-ACC/M-CTT were selected. These selective AFLP combinations revealed 485 informative loci in total, and the combination E-ACC/M-CTT detected the greatest number of informative loci (49%). The analysis of dissimilarity frequency distribution showed that the distribution was uniform, ranging from 0.1285 to 0.7310 with a mean of 0.4801, and the accessions with indeterminate growth habits exhibited greater variability than the accessions with determinate growth habits. The clustering UPGMA, PCoA and Bayesian analyses showed the formation of two large clusters, wherein there is a possible association between snap bean growth habit and gene pool. The determinate accessions may be more closely associated with the Andean gene pool, while the indeterminate ones may be associated with the Mesoamerican gene pool. The Bayesian analysis showed accessions intermediate to both groups, suggesting introgression between the Andean and Mesoamerican gene pools.

title: A SAS macro for computing statistical tests for two-way table and stability indices of nonparametric method from genotype-by-environment interaction

description: ABSTRACT. Genotype-by-environment interaction refers to the differential response of different genotypes across different environments. This is a general phenomenon in all living organisms and always has been one of the main challenges for biologists and plant breeders. The nonparametric methods based on the rank of original data have been suggested as the alternative methods after parametric methods to analyze data without perquisite assumptions needed for common analysis of variance. But, the lack of statistical software or package, especially for analysis of two-way data, is one of the main reasons that plant breeders have not greatly used the nonparametric methods. Here, we have explained the nonparametric methods and presented a comprehensive two-parts SAS program for calculation of four nonparametric statistical tests (Bredenkamp, Hildebrand, Kubinger and van der Laan-de Kroon) and all of the valid stability statistics including Hühn's parameters (Si(1), Si(2), Si(3), Si(6)), Thennarasu's parameters (NPi(1), NPi(2), NPi(3), NPi(4)), Fox's ranking technique and Kang's rank-sum.

title: Morphology and viability of castor bean genotypes pollen grains

description: ABSTRACT. The objective of this work was to characterize the morphology and viability of the pollen of 15 genotypes of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) and to generate information that can assist in the selection of highly promising male parents for future use in genetic improvement programs aimed at producing seeds for oil extraction. Acetolysis and scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphology of the pollen. The viability of the pollen grains was estimated by in vitro germination and colorimetric analysis (acetocarmine 2% and 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride 1%). For the in vitro germination, pollen grains were grown in 10 types of solidified culture medium consisting of different concentrations of sucrose, boric acid, calcium nitrate, magnesium sulfate and potassium nitrate. The pollen grains had the following characteristics: medium size, isopolar and subspheroidal shape, radial symmetry, circular ambit, 3-colporate, elongated endoapertures, tectate exine and granulated sexine. The acetocarmine dye overestimated pollen viability. The media M5 and M8 were the most efficient at promoting the germination of pollen grains. The studied genotypes had high levels of viability and can therefore be used as male parents in genetic improvement programs.
