Determinação do teor dos ingredientes ativos imidacloprida e clorpirifós em produtos técnicos formulados por CLUE-DAD

The use of pesticides to manage pest problems in agriculture has become a common practice around the world. Pesticides consist in chemical substances or biological agents that act preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating the damage caused by pests in agriculture. In order to a successful treatment, the correct dosage of pesticide has to be applied for each kind of culture. In this context, this project aims to quantify the levels of the active ingredients Imidacloprid and Chlorpyrifos present in formulated technical products and compare with the reported in the ir commercial leaflets. The analyzes were performed by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to a photodiode array detector (CLUE-DAD). The identification of Imidacloprid and Chlorpyrifos in the samples was realized by comparison of the time of retention and UV spectre of those substances with the commercials patterns, resulting in a excellent method specificity of the method. In the scope of determination of active ingredients in formulated products, the method developed showed good sensitivity in the applied conditions, with suitables limits of detection (4,2.10-² mg L-¹ for Imidacloprid and 1,1.10-¹ mg L-¹ to Chlorpyrifos) and quantitation (1,4.10-¹ mg L-¹ and Imidacloprid 3,6.10-¹ mg L-¹ to Chlorpyrifos) for the concentrations found in matrices analyzed. Furthermore, good results were obtained to the method accuracy with coeficiente of variance values in the range of 0,6 to 0,7% for repeatability (intra-day) and 0,4 to 0,58% for intermediate precision (inter- day). The accuracy of the method was determined by recovery tests, the values were comprised in the range of 98 102%. According to the recommendations of the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas, these values show good accuracy of the method. The concentrations obtained in the quantification of the active ingredients in formulated products showed values within permited by ABNT, 60.1% (w/v) ± 0.6%...

Utilização dos parâmetros físico-químicos e redes neurais artificiais na identificação dos méis de abelhas (Apis mellifera L.) produzidos no verão e inverno na microrregião de Campos de Jordão, São Paulo

The objective of this work was to typify, through physicochemical parameters, honey from Campos do Jordão’s microrregion, and verify how samples are grouped in accordance with the climatic production seasonality (summer and winter). It were assessed 30 samples of honey from beekeepers located in the cities of Monteiro Lobato, Campos do Jordão, Santo Antonio do Pinhal e São Bento do Sapucaí-SP, regarding both periods of honey production (November to February; July to September, during 2007 and 2008; n = 30). Samples were submitted to physicochemical analysis of total acidity, pH, humidity, water activity, density, aminoacids, ashes, color and electrical conductivity, identifying physicochemical standards of honey samples from both periods of production. Next, we carried out a cluster analysis of data using k-means algorithm, which grouped the samples into two classes (summer and winter). Thus, there was a supervised training of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) using backpropagation algorithm. According to the analysis, the knowledge gained through the ANN classified the samples with 80% accuracy. It was observed that the ANNs have proved an effective tool to group samples of honey of the region of Campos do Jordao according to their physicochemical characteristics, depending on the different production periods.

Eficácia de produtos químicos no controle do fungo manchador botryodiplodia theobromae em madeira de hevea brasiliensis

In Brazil, the exploration and use of the Hevea brasiliensis Mull Arg. wood at the end of the latex production cycle from 30 to 35 years, is practically unknown. However, one of the most significant problems with its use relates to the high susceptibility of this species wood to the fungus Botryodiplodia theobromae attack, especially during the primary wood processing phase. The present study evaluated the efficacy of four chemicals to control juvenile and adult Hevea brasiliensis wood from the attack of the fungus stainer Botryodiplodia theobromae following the ASTM 4445 (2003) standard. The results showed that the active ingredients separately tested and evaluated in the laboratory; (Quinolinolato Copper - 8 and Carbendazim (T1); Tribromofenol 2-4-6 (T2); Extract-Based Vegetable Tannin (T3); Carbendazim and Prochloraz (T4)) do not totally prevent the contamination of Botryodiplodia theobromae in 5% level of significance

Métodos de controle químicos e físicos de Marchantia polymorpha

Marchantia polymorpha develops under environmental conditions of high relative humidity and shading. As this habitat is the usually used in nurseries for the growth of seedlings of native tree species that species grows very quickly among developing tree seedlings and causes severe losses. This study was undertaken viewing more efficient either physical or chemical methods for the control of M. polymorpha. Two experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions. In the first acetic acid (10, 20, and 40% of concentration), oxygenated water (50 and 100%) and the herbicides glyphosate (1,680 g AI ha) and fomesafen (375 g AI ha-1 ) were applied to the seedlings. In the second, the treatments consisted of soil previously submitted to a temperature of 105 °C for 48 hours, soil submitted to solarization in black plastic and in transparent plastic bags for 30 days, preemergence application of diuron (1,750 g AI ha-1 ) and trifluralina (1,575 g AI ha-1 ). The visual evaluations of the methods were performed 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after the application (DAA) and at 60 and 120 DAA, respectively, for the first and the second experiment. Only diuron and trifluralina resulted in a 100% control of M. polymorpha 120 DAA.
