Coeficientes de Cultura da Chicória (cichorium Endivia L.)

O conhecimento do coeficiente de cultura (Kc) permite a estimativa das necessidades hídricas de uma cultura, sendo fundamental para o manejo da irrigação. Nesta pesquisa, conduzida na área experimental do Departamento de Recursos Naturais da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas – FCA/UNESP, Campus de Botucatu, utilizou-se, para medida da evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc), 4 evapotranspirômetros de nível freático constante. Desses, 2 foram cobertos com plástico transparente rente ao solo, a fim de se evitar a evaporação. A evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) foi estimada pelo método de Penman-Monteith, sendo o coeficiente de cultura da chicória (Cichorium endivia L.) dado pela relação: , em suas diversas fases de desenvolvimento. Os valores de (Kc) obtidos evidenciaram um comportamento crescente durante todo o período vegetativo, com a influência da cobertura plástica na fase inicial quando a evaporação do solo representa uma fração considerável da evapotranspiração da cultura.

Influência da Cultura do Pimentão (capsicum Annuum L.) Nos Elementos Ambientais em Ambiente Protegido

No presente trabalho foram avaliados os elementos ambientais: temperatura do solo, temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, nas condições de ambiente protegido (coberto com polietileno) e de campo, num período sem cultura (solo sem cobertura vegetal) e num outro com a cultura do pimentão, em anos diferentes, nas condições climáticas de Botucatu, SP. O híbrido de pimentão utilizado foi o Margarita, que apresenta frutos vermelhos quando maduros. A temperatura do solo foi monitorada por dois sensores eletrônicos instalados a 0,1m de profundidade, sendo um na condição de ambiente protegido e outro na condição de campo, e a temperatura e umidade do ar foram monitoradas por dois sensores eletrônicos instalados a 2m de altura (ambiente protegido e campo). O efeito do pimentão alterando o microclima de cultivo foi observado na temperatura do solo, que apresentou menores valores do índice no período com a cultura, uma vez que o dossel funcionou como uma barreira física que impediu que a radiação solar chegasse ao solo. Os valores encontrados para o índice da temperatura e umidade relativa do ar no período sem a cultura foram muito próximos aos encontrados no período com a cultura, não caracterizando o efeito do pimentão sobre essas variáveis.

Metabolismo da videira ‘syrah’ no semiárido nordestino sob três estratégias hídricas

The almost complete absence or misdistribution of water as a natural resource frequently constitute a limiting factor for plant growth and development in the semi-arid northeastern Brazil. In this context, the use of appropriate irrigation techniques is an essential and indispensable factor for proper functioning of the primary and secondary metabolisms in plants. This study aimed to assess the metabolism of the Syrah grapevine in the semi-arid northeastern Brazil, by using three irrigation strategies (controlled deficit irrigation [CDI], deficit irrigation [DI], and full irrigation [FI]). The research was conducted at Embrapa Semiarid (Embrapa-Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation), Experimental Field of Bebedouro, municipality of Petrolina, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The statistical design was randomized blocks, with a 3 x 6 factorial scheme. Six samplings were performed throughout the experiment cycle at 54, 60, 73, 87, 101, and 115 days after pruning (DAP). We analyzed the total soluble sugars, reducing sugars, total soluble protein, and invertase activity. Analysis of variance and the F test were performed for all analyzed variables. The means were compared using the Tukey test at 5% significance. At the end of the experiment cycle, DI was found to increase the average acid invertase activity in the plant cell wall. Further, by the end of the experiment cycle, the total soluble sugars and reducing sugars increased in all plants in the three irrigation strategies. Thus, we conclude that it is possible to reduce water consumption in vineyards of the semi-arid northeastern Brazil, without significantly affecting the protein and sugar metabolisms in the plants.

Técnicas de energia elétrica sustentável aplicadas em edificações

One of the majors concerns in society today is to decrease the environmental impact caused by human activities and natural resource exploration. From this need to be more careful with the environment arose, in the field of civil construction, the term sustainable building. Projects that use natural resources rationally, without ceasing to bring comfort and functionality for customers, are becoming more a reality. This paper presents the share of electric energy in a sustainable building, with the analysis of the available renewable energies used in a project, presentation of new constructive techniques and technologies that are constantly emerging to achieve greater energy efficiency, with an appropriate use of energy received, also a decrease of the energy consumed by some devices present in a residence or business

Valoração ambiental: síntese dos principais métodos

This study aims to show some methods of environmental assets valuation. These methods are intended to assist in the economic value estimation to environmental resources by the simulation of a hypothetical market, even if there are no market prices related to them. It is about an individual preference measure against the environmental changes. Thus, the environmental valuation methods do not convert a natural resource into a market product. The present report evaluates the applicability of the valuation methods to determine the economic value for assets or resources. The challenge for all is to understand the current economic and ecologic thinking and their limitations, so as to seek improvements in the perception of natural phenomena and in the economic-oriented goal, which is the sustainable development.

Avaliação das ocorrências de nitrato e fluoreto nas águas subterrâneas do Estado de São Paulo

Concerns about the quality of groundwater have been continuously rising, considering its importance for the public water supply in the State of São Paulo, and even more due to the impact that anthropic action has been causing to the original quality of that natural resource. It is extremely relevant to identify the contamination focuses along the aquifers of the State of São Paulo. This report aims to evaluate nitrates and fluorides concentrations along the aquifers present in the state, in order to identify places where change in the quality of groundwater is observed, through the comparison between measured concentrations and reference values, such as: “Intervention Value” (maximum allowed value) and “Alert Value” (attention required value). To perform this research, a full compilation and organization has been done on chemical analysis data from the “Sistema de Informações de Águas Subterrâneas - SIDAS”, made available by the “Divisão de Procedimentos de Outorga – DPO” of the “Departamento de Água e Energia Elétrica – DAEE”. This work has made possible the build-up of a database composed by 6,860 wells, with analytical data ready to be interpreted, containing information about water pH, electrical conductivity, hardness and chloride, iron, fluoride, nitrogen, nitrates and total dissolved solids concentrations. This database shows concentration data for nitrates (6,157 wells) and fluoride (3,316 wells). From this information, maps for nitrates and fluorides concentration distributions have been made, by each aquifer and each “Unidade de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos – UGRHI”, which has enabled the identification of wells where the concentrations of these chemical compounds exceeds the reference values. Concerning nitrates, these analysis indicated the existence of contamination sources from rural and urban zones, mostly present in the west region...

Desenvolvimento regional e sustentabilidade: a indústria intensiva em recursos naturais na região administrativa de Ribeirão Preto

The natural resource intensive industries have moved from center to periphery in Brazil. This shift is related to the environmental impacts generated by this type of industry, as occur biggest benefits to these industries in small towns as tax exemptions and donations of land, and local institutional capacity is lower in pollution control. In the 1970s began, in the state of São Paulo, a process of industrial deconcentration of Metropolitan Region of São Paulo to the inside of state, which generated an intense industrialization of the region of Campinas, Ribeirão Preto, Sorocaba e São José dos Campos. This process of industrial deconcentration had support in state policies restricting new industries in the Metropolitan Region and the creation and financing of infrastructure and improvement of road. This research project aims to verify whether there has been a shift of natural resource intensive industries for the Administrative Region of Ribeirão Preto, as well as aspects of the sustainability of this process
