title: Adaptability and stability of peach and nectarine cultivars in subtropical climate

description: ABSTRACT Information on adaptability and stability of fruit production in different environments or years is crucial to increasing agricultural production potential. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate whether there is interaction between cultivars and years, as well as to assess the stability of peach and nectarine cultivars regarding fruit fresh mass, SS/TA ratio, and cycle length in Viçosa -MG, Brazil. The characteristics fruit fresh mass (FM), soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio (SS/TA), and cycle length (CL) were evaluated in 28 cultivars of peach and two cultivars of nectarine from the orchard of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa, in 2011, 2012, and 2013. The methods used to determine the phenotypic stability across time were Eberhart & Russell (1966) and the Traditional. The interaction cultivars x years was significant for all traits. Cultivar ‘Josefina’ showed broad adaptability for SS/TA ratio, and cultivars ‘Flordaprince’ and ‘Tropical’ for cycle length. For favorable environments, the cultivars ‘Capdebosq’ and ‘Maciel’ are indicated regarding the characteristic fruit mass, and ‘Coral’ and ‘Talismã’ for SS/TA ratio. ‘Rubimel’ was adaptable to unfavorable environments regarding fruit mass.

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.

title: Sowing time affecting the development of common bean cultivars in Lichinga, Province of Niassa, Mozambique

description: ABSTRACT The demonstration of yield potential of crops depends on genetic factors, favorable conditions of envi ronment, and management. The sowing time can significantly affect the common bean grain yield. The aim of this research was to study the behavior of Brazilian cultivars and sowing times on the yield components and grain yield of common bean grown in the environmental conditions of Lichinga, Province of Niassa, Mozambique. The field trial was performed for two growing seasons, using the experimental as a randomized block in factorial 5 × 3 × 2, with four replications. The treatments consisted of the combination of five common bean cultivars (BRS Pontal, BRS Agreste, Perola, and BRS Requinte, developed by Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), and a local variety, Encarnada) with three sowing dates (beginning of the rainy season, and 15 and 30 days after), during two growing seasons. The Brazilian cultivar of common beans BRS Pontal was the most productive in all sowing times, followed by BRS Agreste, which was not the most productive only in the second sowing time of 2013/2014 growing season. The cultivar Encarnada, from Mozambique, was the less productive cultivar in all sowing times and in all growing seasons. The best sowing time for common bean cultivars is in the beginning of the rainy season. The use of technologies such as use of seeds of new cultivars, proper sowing time, fertilization, and control of weeds allow significant increase of common bean grain yield in Lichinga, Mozambique.

title: Winter management and seed inoculation influenced the productivity and quality of corn silage 1

description: ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to assess crop residue effects, nitrogen doses, and inoculation of seeds with Azospirillum brasilense concerning yield and corn silage quality using direct planting system. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Santa Maria - RS, Brazil. A randomized block design approach was used and treatments were distributed in a factor analysis with different crop residues (cultivars Fundacep Horizonte, Quartzo, Mirante, Campo Real, BRS Cauê, MN 743, and Moreninha), nitrogen doses (0; 88.59, and 177.18 kg de N ha-1), and presence and absence of inoculation with A. brasilense. Productivity and bromatological quality of the silage product were assessed. Crop residues and nitrogen doses did not influence grain productivity. After barley crop, corn silage presented lower neutral detergent fiber values in relation to maize grown after wheat and black oat crops. The dose of 177.18 kg N ha-1 increased silage dry mass of corn at least by 2.13 and 2.18 Mg ha-1, respectively, after barley and black oat crops. The soil cover with an oat crop (cv. Moreninha) in winter improves the bromatological quality of corn silage. Inoculation with A. brasilense increases grain yield, but does not influence the protein content of corn silage.

title: Common bean grain yield as affected by sulfur fertilization and cultivars

description: ABSTRACT A better understanding of the differential growth of common bean cultivars with increasing soil sulfur (S) availability can indicate how to improve common bean grain yield in soils of Savannas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of sprinkler-irrigated common bean cultivars to sulfur fertilization in a no-tillage system. The experiment was designed as a randomized block in a split-plot scheme with sulfur rates (0, 10, 20, 40, and 60 kg ha-1) as main plots and common bean cultivars (BRS Requinte, BRS Cometa, Diamante Negro, BRS Grafite, BRS Valente, and Corrente) as subplots, with three replications. Common bean cultivars did not differ regarding grain yield response to sulfur rates, which fitted to a quadratic equation. Among the cultivars tested, only BRS Requinte and BRS Valente differed in grain yield for S fertilization, the first being more productive. Moreover, S fertilization allows significant increases in common bean grain yield in average of six cultivars and must be considered in cropping systems aiming for high yields.

title: Bioactivity of humic substances extracted from soils managed with integration, agriculture, livestock and forestry

description: ABSTRACT The humified organic matter promotes biostimulating effect such as auxins. However, information is needed on plant stimulation capacity of humic substances from soils managed with systems integrating crops, livestock, and forests. The aim of this study was to evaluate the initial performance of maize in response to the application of increasing concentrations of isolated humic substances from soils managed with integrated system of crop, livestock, and forests, applied at seed, comparing them also with humic substances isolated from soil with eucalyptus and isolated pasture and with a Cerrado adjacent area. The corn seeds were treated for 16 hours in solutions containing 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 80 mmol L-1 of C from humic substances. Then, the seeds were planted in pots of 1 dm3 containing corrected and fertilized soils, in greenhouse. Growth characteristics of shoot and root systems were evaluated. The results showed that the humic substances extracted from soils with integration of crop, livestock, and forests have positive effects on the initial performance of corn, superior to those observed under control (133%), Cerrado (29%), eucalyptus (30%), and isolated pasture (56%).

title: Productivity of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in response to the application of humic acids and diazotrophic bacteria, under field conditions

description: ABSTRACT Lettuce is one of the most consumed leafy vegetables in Brazil, generating great demand for its cultivation. It demands nutrients and a soil rich in organic matter to achieve high productivity, requiring large doses of organic compounds, leading to high production costs. Humic acids (HA) and diazotrophic bacteria (B) contain plant hormones, such as auxins, which promote cell elongation and increase of roots and absorption of nutrients, leading to plant growth and development. Due to these characteristics, they can be used as biostimulants in promoting lettuce productivity. The objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity of lettuce in response to the application of humic acids and diazotrophic bacteria under field conditions. The humic acids were isolated from bovine manure and the bacteria originated from the collection of bacteria from the Floriculture Sector of the Federal University of Viçosa - Campus Florestal, extracted from Cymbidium sp. orchids. The experiment was carried out in field conditions with cv. Vanda and the treatments were control (producer’s conventional cultivation), isolated applications of humic acid and bacterium, and combined application of humic acid + bacterium. A randomized block design with five replications was used. The application of biostimulants was carried out shortly after transplanting. Plant attributes of the aerial parts were evaluated. It was concluded that the treatments used, mainly the HA + B combination, increased lettuce productivity.

title: Estimation of soybean agronomic performance in climatic scenarios for Southern Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The study aimed to analyze the agronomic performance of soybean cultivated in Southern Brazil, in climatic scenarios. Climatic data from three cities located in the main soybean producing regions of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul were used in the Aquacrop 4.0 software. Thus, it was possible to simulate cycle duration, yield, water use efficiency in productivity of evapotranspiration water (WUE), net irrigation requirement, and harvest index adjusted for different climatic scenarios based on short-term (2016-2035) and medium-term projections (2046-2065) of the RCP4.5 scenario of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The soybean cycle duration tends to decrease when the locality is colder. Productivity and WUE should increase even if there is no irrigation requirement in future climate scenarios.

title: Influence of flowering times and phenological protection periods against powdery mildew infection on dwarf cashew BRS 189

description: ABSTRACT The occurrence of powdery mildew, Pseudoidium anacardii, is conditioned by new sprouting of the cashew tree and the infection that occurs in buds, flowers, and young maturis (green cashew nuts). Mature tissues naturally become resistant to fungus and, for the control of the disease, preventive protection with a sulfur-based fungicide is necessary. The objective was to verify the flowering time and phenological protection periods in the dwarf cashew BRS 189 against P. anacardii infection. The experimental design was randomized blocks in split-plot scheme with four replications. The main plots were flowering time (time I and II) and split plots were six phenological protection periods. The severity of powdery mildew in the panicle, peduncle, and cashew nuts and cashew production was evaluated. It was verified that the flowering times and the phenological protection periods influenced the severity of the disease and cashew production. For disease variables, lower severities of powdery mildew were observed for the greater phenological protection periods in panicle, peduncle, and chestnuts. There was no significant difference between the flowering times when the phenological protection periods were analyzed for total weight and peduncle. In both flowering times the protection period (T6) was different from the others. However, there was no difference between flowering times and phenological protection periods in relation to the weight of the nuts. The results indicate that flowering times and phenological protection periods interfere with the severity of the disease and cashew production (peduncle) of the BRS 189.
