Maturation behavior of Maxi Gala grafetd on two rootstocks by no Destructive Method.

The evaluation of the maturation in apple orchards is checked using destructive methods, sampling fruits and analyzing them in the laboratory, making the process slow and expensive. The use of not destructive method to determine fruit maturation in the orchard could accelerate delivery of results and help in determining harvest time, because non-destructive data would allow to verify the maturation on different blocks in the orchard. The aim of this work was to chart fruit maturation in 'Maxi Gala' grafted on two different rootstocks, using destructive and not destructive methods. The non-destructive method used was the portable DA-Meter. The trial was realized at Vacaria, southern Brazillocated 28,44 S and 50,85 W. The samples were harvested on two orchards during the seasons 2014/15 and 2015/16, during six weeks before harvest from January until the second week of February. The sampling was realized in five different points of the orchard, on rootstocks M.9 or Marubakaido with M.9 interstem. Ten-apple samples were collected weekly in each point in the orchard and then evaluated by destructive method (flesh firmness, starch degradation, total soluble solids and acidity) and the not destructive method (DA-Meter). For both seasons, the evolution of the fruit maturation of Maxi Gala showed a similar progression for both rootstocks. The non-destructive method correlated well with the traditional destructive methods, making it a tool for more practical and easy determination of the harvest date.

Grafting compatibility among eleven chestnut cultivars and hybrids.

Among the four commercial chestnut species the C. dentata (Marsh.) Boskh. and C. sativa P. Mill. has excellent quality but more susceptible to diseases when compared to C. mollissima Blume and C. crenata Siebold & Zucc. which has inferior quality but can be used as rootstocks. This work aimed to evaluate the behavior of chestnut varieties grafted in different rootstocks under São Bento do Sapucaí, São Paulo, Brazil condition. In 1986, eleven chestnut cultivars and hybrids - Ibuki (IB), Izumo (IZ), Kinchu (KI), KM1 (KM2), KM(2) KM(2), Moriowase (MO), Okuni (OK), Taishowase (TAI), Tamatsukuri (TAM), Tiodowase (TIO) and Senri (SEN) (only graft) ? were grafted each other resulting in hundred ten combinations. Fifteen-year later grafted trees with minimum of three plants were evaluated for tree height, trunk diameter above and below graft union and graft compatibility. Randomized blocks with three replications were submitted to analysis of variance for tree height and trunk diameter. Grouping analysis using the PROC CLUSTER ? SAS system was used to describe the pattern of variance among different combinations. Seventy eight combinations in hundred ten showed perfect grafting compatibility 6 months after grafting. Forty seven combinations showed incompatibility after transplanting and the dieback rate in each combination ranged from 25 to 100%. Among seventy eight combinations established in the field twenty six had enough plants for evaluation fifteen-year later. Tree height and trunk diameter showed highly significant difference among the combinations. The highest plant (6 m) was grafted on Moriowase and Tamatsukuri which showed the highest compatibility as rootstock. The harvesting season is from November to May where MOR, IB, TAM, OK and TAI behave as early-season-cultivar and SEN the latest one.

Influence of the vintage, clone and rootstock on the chemical characteristics of Syrah tropical wines from Brazil.

In the Northeast of Brazil, vines can produce twice a year, because annual average temperature is 26ºC, with high solar radiation and water availability for irrigation. Many cultivars have been tested according to their adaptation to the climate and soil, and the main variety used for red wines is Syrah. This work aimed to evaluate five clones of Syrah, grafted on two rootstocks, in two harvests of the second semester of 2009 and 2010, according to the chemical analyses of the wines.The clones evaluated were 100, 174, 300, 470 and 525, the rootstocks were Paulsen 1103 and IAC 313 (Golia x Vitis caribeae). Grapes were harvested in November 2009 and 2010 and the yield was evaluated. Climate characteristics of each harvest was determined and correlated to the results. Wines were elaborated in glass tanks of 20 L, with alcoholic fermentation at 25ºC for seven days, then wines were pressed and malolactic fermentation was carried out at 18ºC for 20 days. The following parameters were analyzed: alcohol content, dry extract, total anthocyanins, total phenolic index. High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine tartaric, malic, lactic and citric organic acids. Results showed that wines presented different concentrations of classical analyses, phenolics and organic acids according to the harvest date, rootstocks and clones. Principal component analysis was applied on data and clusters with wine samples were formed, explaining the variability, and results are discussed.

Adubação mineral para produção de porta-enxertos de seringueira em Açailandia, MA.

No processo de formação de mudas, um dos pré-requisitos para se obterem plântulas com precocidade para enxertia é uma adequada recomendação de fertilizantes. Deste modo, com o objetivo de determinar os níveis de nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio adequados para a produção de plantas aptas para enxertia em viveiro de seringueira, foi conduzido um experimento em área de produtor, localizado em Açailândia, MA, em solo classificado como Podzólico Vermelho-amarelo, textura média. Os tratamentos correspondentes a quatro doses de nitrogênio (0; 120; 240; e 360kg.ha-1 de N) na forma de sulfato de amônia; fósforo (0; 160; 320; e 480kg.ha-1 de P2O5) na forma de superfosfato triplo, potássio (0; 140; 280 e 420kg.ha-1 de K2O) na forma de cloreto de potássio; e de magnésio (0; 50; 100 e 150kg.ha-1 de MgO) na forma de sulfato de magnésio. Pelos resultados obtidos recomendam-se as doses de 98,3kg.ha-1 de N, 130kg.ha-1 de P2O5, 188kg.ha-1 de K2O e 44kg.ha-1 de MgO, por terem proporcionado o índice de aproveitamento de 85% de plantas aptas para enxertia e a produção de 64.600 porta-enxertos comerciais por hectare.

Concentrazione di potassio nelle bacche e valori di pH e zuccheri nel mosto della cv Cabernet Sauvignon innestata su diversi portinnesti nel Sud del Brasile.

In field conditions two experiments were carried out in 2000/2001 and 2001/2002, to evaluate potassium (K) content in berries, and pH and total soluble solid values in the must. The experiment 1 was carried on a Udorthent soil and the experiment 2 on a Haplumbrept soil, both at Southern Brazil, Bento Gonçalves city. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine was grafted on different rootstocks (Rupestris Du Lot, R. 99, R. 110, SO4, 420 A, 1103, 101-14 and 3309). At full ripening, berries were collected and potassium concentration (2000/2001 and 2001/2002 seasons), pH and total soluble solids (2001/2002 season) were determined. Rootstock didn?t affect potassium content of berries, and pH and total soluble solid values in the must.

Manual cross-pollination, fruit set and development in pear.

The lack of pear-compatible rootstocks in Brazil calls for the application of classical genetic techniques. Therefore, in order to obtain select suitable material, the search for genetic segregation must be continuous, being used as alternative scion cultivars. This study aims to assess fruit set, number of seeds, fruit weight and fruit diameter according to crosses between pear cultivars. The trial was carried out from September 2008 to February 2009 in a commercial orchard in the city of Vacaria/RS, Brazil. For the pollination process, pollen was extracted from flowers at full-white stage in the same orchard. The cultivars used were 'Packham's Triumph' and 'Clapps Favorite'. The crossings were defined as: open pollination; selfpollination of 'Packham's Triumph' and 'Packham's Triumph' × 'Clapps Favorite'. The pollinations were done manually in flowers at full-white stage, which were opened, emasculated and then pollinated. Each pollinated flower was then isolated with a fine nylon bag. Open pollination and cross pollination between 'Packham's Triumph' × 'Clapps Favorite' provided higher fruit set (17 and 18%, respectively). Fruit weight and diameter did not differ between treatments. Open pollination provided fruits with a higher number of seeds.
