Thermal tool for evaluation of essential oils of Eucalyptus spp susceptible and resistant to Glycaspis brimblecombei attack.

Eucalyptus spp genus is economically important to different industry fields. There are pests that damage the development of eucalypts and Glycaspis brimblecombei, a sap-sucking insect, is one of them. Studies about this insect attack to the eucalypts showed preferences. This work aim was to compare the preferences of the insect with thermoanalytical characteristics of different eucalypts (susceptible, less susceptible and resistant to Glycaspis brimblecombei) essential oils. The leaves of six species of Eucalyptus were crushed and the essential oil was extracted using Clevenger apparatus. The Shimadzu DTG-60H was used to analyze the samples. The results showed that the samples from more susceptible eucalypts had total mass loss at about 124ºC to 156ºC, lower than samples from more resistant eucalypts (from 168ºC to 175ºC). Furthermore, the study suggests that the susceptibility or the resistance of eucalypts to the pest may be related to their essential oil composition and concentration of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes.

Avaliação de genótipos de girassol em Mato Grosso, na safrinha de 2014.

RESUMO: Objetivou-se avaliar o desempenho agronômico de genótipos de girassol, em ensaio da Rede de Ensaios de Avaliação de Genótipos de Girassol, na safrinha de 2014, visando à indicação para cultivo no Estado de Mato Grosso. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso (IFMT), campus de São Vicente - MT, na safrinha de 2014, empregando-se delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Foram efetuadas avaliações de altura de planta, rendimento de aquênios, teor de óleo e rendimento de óleo. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias foram comparadas pelo teste de Duncan ao nível de 5% de significância. Os genótipos GNZ NEON, SYN 045, AGUARÁ 06, M734, MG 360 e MG 305 foram superiores na avaliação de rendimento de aquênios. Em teor de óleo, os genótipos MG 360, MG 305, HLA 2012, SYN 3950HO, PARAÍSO 20 e AGUARÁ 04 se destacaram. O intenso ataque de pássaros prejudicou o desempenho dos genótipos de girassol. ABSTRACT: This work aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of the sunflower genotypes under testing by the Network of Evaluative Experiments with Sunflower Genotypes, on off-season of 2014, proposing an indication for cultivation in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Experiment was conducted in the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso, campus of São Vicente - MT, using randomized complete block design, with four replications. Measurements were made, evaluating plant height, achene yield, oil content and oil yield. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and compared using the Duncan test at 5% of significance level. Genotypes GNZ NEON, SYN 045, AGUARÁ 06, M734, MG 360 and MG 305 were higher in achenes yield evaluation. Regarding oil content, the genotypes MG 360, MG 305, HLA 2012, SYN 3950HO, PARAISO 20 and AGUARÁ 04 were best. The intense attack of birds affected performance of sunflower genotypes.
