O gênero Eugenia: da química à farmacologia

Research on natural products is extremely important either for new compound discovery with possible pharmacology uses or for its impact on economy, which moves millions of dollars for year. Scientific studies related on utilization and characterization of bioactive substances are important due to the fact that many drugs currently used by the population were synthetized from isolated compounds of natural products. Among many medicinal species commonly used, there are that ones from the genus Eugenia, witch belongs to Myrtaceae family. Eugenia is one of the biggest genus from this family and has about 5000 species and Brazil has 400 of them, which are appreciated on gastronomy for its fruits, for example, pitanga (Eugenia uniflora), cherry (Eugenia involucrata), clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) and cagaita (Eugenia dysinterica). Phytochemical studies of plants from this genus report the presence of several secondary metabolites like flavonoids, tannins, coumarins, anthocyanins and more. Eugenia species have important pharmacology activity as antioxidant, hypothermic, antidiarrheal, antihypertensive, antimicrobial and fungicide. Thus, Eugenia is a genus which has species with potencial phytotherapic products

Eficácia do flutriafol e do flutriafol + tiofanato metílico aplicados com gotas finas ou médias no controle da ferrugem asiática da soja

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of fine and medium droplets in the performance of flutriafol and thiophanate methyl + flutriafol for the control of Asian Soybean Rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow & Sydow). The experiment was a 2 x 2 factorial design (2 droplet sizes x 2 fungicides) resulting in four treatments with six replications. The experimental area was set up with 24 plots (50 x 21 m). In each plot there was a central assessment area with 10 x 20 m. To the each plot there was a non-treated area placed in opposed direction to the wind. The evaluations of rust control were made by of the calculation of incidence (percentage of plants with rust), severity (level of infection), defoliations and soybean yield. The results were analyzed by the calculation of the confidence interval at 90%. The study was set up in curative control conditions with average infestation of 68.6%, average severity in the lower part of the canopy was of 35.9% and on the upper parte it was 4.57%. The results of severity, defoliation and productivity did not show statistical difference among the treatments. However, it was observed that in general there was tendency of better results with the application of flutriafol alone comparing with thiophanate methyl + flutriafol, since there was a small difference between two commercial products in the flutriafol active ingredient content (62.5 g ha-1 to the flutriafol alone and 60 g ha-1 to the thiophanate methyl + flutriafol). There was no statistical difference between fine and medium droplets. This fact can be explained by the characteristics of systemic action of the flutriafol and by the type of control made (curative). The flutriafol, being a systemic fungicide is less sensitive to the better coverage provided by the smaller droplets and, on the curative control, the amount of product deposited can became more import than coverage, mainly on the superior part of the leaves. These leaves are healthier than the inferior leaves that in general are the first to become completely compromised by the rust, losing importance to the plant. By this reason, medium droplets appear to have offered similar performance even not offering advantages in the leaf coverage. This fact may become important because in the practical side of the use of medium droplets, since this may increase the amount of time to spray, mainly because the fine and very fine droplets have more limitations related to drift and evaporation.

Remoção pela chuva de diferentes formulações de flutriafol aplicada em soja, com e sem a adição de óleo mineral na calda

The present study had as objectives to verify the effect of rainfastness of different flutriafol formulations, in laboratory conditions, applied on soybean plants with and without the oil adjuvant in the spray solution, as well as to verify the influence of the oil on the droplet spectrum. The experiment considered ten spray solutions related to five treatments containing flutriafol (four formulations of flutriafol and a flutriafol mixture with tebuconazole), all applied with and without mineral oil. Particles size analysis were based on the determination of the droplet spectrum, medium volumetric diameter and the amount of droplets below 100 μm. All the solutions were sprayed with Teejet XR 11001 (fine droplets). Droplet spectrum was determined in a direct way by diffraction of laser (Malvern Mastersizer S®, version 2.15). Confidence interval at 90% degree was used to compare the mean data. The results showed that the addition of mineral oil in the solutions provided tendencies of larger medium volumetric diameter, smaller amount of droplets below than 100 µm and better uniformity of the droplet spectrum. All of the solutions with the addition of mineral oil presented larger adhesion and/or absorption of the fungicide on the plants in comparison with the solutions without oil. The increase of the time between the application and the rain, caused reduction of the fungicide removal, independently of the rain intensity. The increase of the amount of rain didn't change the relative behavior among the solutions; however, this larger amount of rain caused larger fungicide removal along the time. It was observed significant removal of flutriafol by the rain up to 48 hours after the spray application.

Utilização de extratos vegetais em proteção de plantas

Usage of pesticies in excessive doses or in an inadequate way to control diseases, pests and weeds, has promoted significant environmental damage, contamination of animals, intoxication of farmers, among others. These factors lead to occur the resistance of weeds, pests and pathogens, the appearance of iatrogenic diseases, biological imbalance and reduction in biodiversity. Seeking less aggressive alternatives, plant extracts have been used successfully. Compared to synthetic products, they offer great advantages as generating new compounds, which pathogens are unable to inactivate, and are less toxic, of rapid degradation in the environment, they have broad modes of action, and are derived from renewable resources. It should be emphasized that there are some limitations on its use. The extracts have potencial as insecticide, fungicide, herbicide and nematicide and are considered of good efficiency. The methodologies for obtaining can be achieved through cold extraction, open and closed hot system. The use of plant extracts reappears as a promising and unique option for integrated management in plant protection, being considered as an alternative to control plant pathogens, demonstrating excellent results without causing harm to the environment and living beings.
