title: Does the Introgression of Bt Gene Affect Physiological Cotton Response to Water Deficit?

description: ABSTRACT: Water deficit may affect the expression of lepidoptera-controlling proteins in cotton. However, it is unknown if there is a differential response of conventional and Bt cotton cultivars to water deficit, what could potentially affect the plant competition with weeds. The objective of this work was to investigate the response of Bt cotton cultivars to water deficit compared with their conventional near-isolines. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, where the cotton cultivars FMT 705, FMT 709 and IMACD 8276, with and without the Bt gene, were grown under two water regimens: 100% and 50% (moderate water deficit) of available soil water. Cotton phenology was severely affected by moderate water deficit, with a reduction in shoot and root dry matter production, root length and diameter, plant height and leaf area. No effect of the Bt gene was observed. Water deficit during cotton flowering decrease stomatal conductance, net assimilation of CO2 and transpiration rates. The leaf water potential is lower in plants exposed to a moderate water deficit compared with non-stressed plants. However, the introgression of the Bt gene does not modify cotton physiological and phenotypic response to water deficit.

title: Allelopathic Effect of Lotus and Arrowhead Weed on Wheat, Wild Oat and Milkthistle Germination

description: ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted to investigate the allelopathic effects of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) and arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolia (Brummitt & Powell): L.) on seed germination of wheat and two associated weeds, namely, wild oat (Avena fatua L.) and milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.). The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design during May, 2014. Dried biomasses of lotus and arrowhead leaves were soaked in distilled water for 48 hrs for extract preparation. The extracts were applied at a rate of 5 and 10% concentrations to the seeds of wheat, wild oat and milk thistle at 25 °C in 10 cm wide Petri plates. A control treatment where only distilled water was applied to the seeds, was included for comparison. Data were recorded on germination (%), shoot length (cm), shoot and root fresh weights (g). The results revealed that 10% lotus extract reduced germination of wild oat (0.00%) and milk thistle (13.3%) but comparatively enhanced that of wheat (20%). By contrast, arrowhead totally inhibited germination of wheat and wild oat as compared to milk thistle (16.66%). Similarly, 10% lotus extract favored shoot length and root weight of wheat and milk thistle, whereas 100% inhibited wild oat. By comparison, arrowhead completely inhibited shoot length and root weight of wheat and wild oat at 10% conc. and enhanced milkthistle (3.00 cm and 3 g). A higher lotus extract conc. affected wild oat more than wheat and milkthistle, while arrowhead weed affected almost all test species. In conclusion, these aquatic weeds can be used as mulch in wheat in nearby fields of the infested aquatic water bodies for wild oat control, weed biomass disposal and nutrient addition to the soil.

title: Museums in Brazilian urban periphery

description: Abstract Nowadays, in Brazil, community initiatives in urban centers express their social and cultural values through museological processes. The main objective in this article is to investigate museums and cities as anthropological ethnographic fields, when identifying these processes in low income neighborhoods of Brazilian urban centers. The study is applied to the Pilot-project for the Memory Points Program, linked to the Brazilian Institute of Museums, based on the ethnographic experience with the Ponto de Memória da Terra Firme, a community initiative that develops a museological process in the neighborhood of Terra Firme in Belém, Pará. After analyzing strategies and relations established due to the consolidation of the Memory Points, it is concluded that these museological processes derive from a political will to register social memory through the appropriation of cultural heritages recognized by its residents, thus consolidating in community museums.

title: A COMBINATION OF DISCRETE EVENT SIMULATION AND MULTI-CRITERIA ANALYSIS TO CONFIGURE SUGARCANE DROP AND HOOK DELIVERY SYSTEMS

description: ABSTRACT This article explores decision analysis regarding Drop and Hook (D&H) transportation operations at sugarcane mills. By means of a case study, a combination of a discrete event simulation model and multi-attribute utility theory was used to evaluate different configurations for sugarcane delivery systems using internal, external, or no D&H systems. A D&H strategy maximises truck utilisation, as semi-trailers can be handled independently of the traction unit of the trucks, which makes the transport system more agile. For internal D&H systems the semi-trailer detaching/attaching point is located inside the mill site while for external D&H systems it is located outside, before the trucks’ weighbridge. Each configuration requires different infrastructure which affects the supply of sugarcane for milling. The case study was applied to a sugarcane mill of a corporation located in São Paulo State. By means of discrete simulation, we determined that eighteen D&H configurations were feasible. By using the swing weighting multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method, we identified fleet cost as the most important factor, while configurations with external D&H systems showed the best utility values. For this case study, the best configuration is to use the external D&H strategy with 28 road trains (truck and two semi-trailers), 12 additional semi-trailer sets, and 6 tractor units.

title: Biometry and genetic diversity of paradise nut genotypes (Lecythidaceae)

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the biometry of fruit and seed, and the diversity of paradise nut (Lecythis pisonis) genotypes. Fruit of 12 paradise nut genotypes were collected from plants in the northern region of the state of Espírito Santo and in the eastern region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were subjected to the analysis of variance, and means of the different genotypes were compared by Scott-Knott’s mean clustering test. The phenotypic diversity was analyzed using Mahalanobis’ generalized distance, and clustering, by Tocher’s optimization method and the graphical dispersion of canonical variables. The relative contribution of the characters to diversity was assessed by Singh’s method. The paradise nut genotypes differed regarding the morphological characteristics of fruit and seed. Genotype 1 produced the largest number of seed per fruit, and genotypes 2 and 7 produced the largest seed. These genotypes were clustered into different groups, which is indicative of their potential combination for use in genetic breeding programs.

title: A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM BASED ON LiDAR TECHNOLOGY TO CHARACTERIZE THE CANOPY OF SUGARCANE PLANTS

description: ABSTRACT Laser sensor applications associated with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology on platforms allow the evaluation of crop and forest biomass in a non-invasive way. This study presents the development of a measurement system based on LiDAR technology aimed at the proposed assessment of the height of sugarcane plants during the pre-harvest period. A laser sensor, a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver, and an inertial unit compose the measurement system. The equipment was integrated with a computer for data acquisition and installed on an agricultural tractor platform. The GNSS receiver with a real-time kinematic signal was synchronized to the laser sensor to obtain the point cloud and to the inertial unit to evaluate the intensity of the vibration from platform oscillation. Data acquisition was carried about 10 days before sugarcane harvest. The developed steps of acquisition and data processing enabled the generation of point clouds with a density of about 2,000 points m−2 and the extraction of metrics related to the height of sugarcane plants. The influence of vibration in the dataset was more significant in one of the experimental fields due the high-amplitude spectral power observed.

title: Nitrogen management of forage grasses for nutrition, seed production, and nutrients in residual straw

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutrition, accumulation of nutrients in residual straw, pure seed yield, and seed quality of the tropical forage grasses 'Mombaça' and 'Xaraés' subjected to topdressing with nitrogen fertilizer management. Field experiments were carried out in the municipalities of Rancharia and Presidente Prudente, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The treatments included a control (without N topdressing) and four N fractionation forms at different forage stages: 150 kg ha-1 N, at the vegetative phase (VP); 150 kg ha-1 N, at the beginning of the reproductive phase (RP), between panicle initiation and the prebooting stages; 100 kg ha-1 N, at VP plus 50 kg ha-1 N at RP; and 50 kg ha-1 N at VP plus 100 kg ha-1 N at RP. Fertilization with N as topdressing, regardless of the N fractionation form, increased N concentration in the flag leaf and in residual straw, and the quantities of N accumulated by 'Mombaça' and 'Xaraés' forage grasses. The application of all or most N in the VP increased the quantities of residual straw and of P and K accumulated by the 'Mombaça' forage grasses. The application of all or most N in the RP provided a greater pure seed yield and N use efficiency in both forage grasses. The seed physiological quality of the forages is not affected by fertilization with N topdressing.

title: Phosphorus and nitrogen balance in constructed wetlands with Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms

description: ABSTRACT Improper disposal, even after treatment, of wastewater can cause negative impacts on receiving water bodies. Particularly, substances such as nitrogen and phosphorus can become, depending on their concentrations, toxic to aquatic organisms or produce favorable conditions for the proliferation of a vegetation that can start the process of eutrophication. Constructed wetlands are a wastewater treatment built to mimic the structure of natural wetlands, promoting mechanisms of phytoremediation. Despite E. crassipes be an invasive plant which causes problems in eutrophic lakes and rivers, its use may be interesting in wetlands because it is an ornamental plant, which will increase wastewater treatment system’s acceptance, and it can be reused in crafts, in biofuel production and in animal feed. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the retention/removal of total phosphorus and Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) present in wastewater by two subsurface horizontal flow constructed wetland system cultivated with Eichhornia crassipes, with a difference of 43 days of cultivation, fixed to a support medium. The concentrations of total phosphorus ranged from 4.5 to 5.1 mg.L-1 in the affluent and from 3.2 to 4.4 mg.L-1 in the effluent of constructed wetlands, whereas NTK concentrations ranged from 95.9 to 104.7 mg.L-1 in the effluent, and from 77.5 to 85.3 mg.L-1 in the effluent.
