Efeito alelopático de melissa, capim-cidreira, lavanda e alecrim na germinação e vigor de sementes de alface

Objetivou-se, neste estudo, avaliar a inluência na germinação e vigor de sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa L.) de macerados e infusões de Melissa oficinalis L. (melissa), Rosmarinus oficinalis L. (alecrim), Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (lavanda) e Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf. (capim-cidreira). O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com nove tratamentos e quatro repetições, cada unidade experimental constituída por 25 sementes. Sendo os tratamentos: alecrim infusão, alecrim macerado, lavanda infusão, lavanda macerado, melissa infusão, melissa macerado, capim-cidreira infusão, capim-cidreira macerado e testemunha. As variáveis avaliadas foram: índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), porcentagens de plantas anormais (PA), porcentagens de plantas germinadas (PG), massa fresca (MF), massa seca (MS), comprimento da parte aérea (CPA) e comprimento da radícula (CR). O capim-cidreira apresentou efeito alelopático negativo na germinação e no vigor de sementes de L. sativa L. Já em melissa infusão veriicou-se ação estimulante.

Germination, vigor and pathogen incidence in broccoli seeds treated with Carboxin + Thiram

The purpose of treating seeds chemically is to eradicate their pathogens and/or protect them against soil pathogens, mainly by germination time. However, there is little research on vegetables investigating the effect of this treatment on seed quality. Therefore, this study evaluates the effects of Carboxin + Thiram doses on germination and vigor of three lots of broccoli seeds, as well as on the incidence of fungi in treated seed. The 15 treatments were evaluated in a factorial system (3x5), with the first factor consisting of three lots of 'Avenger' broccoli seeds (lots 82744, 82745 and 82749), and the second factor consisting of five doses (0, 0.04, 0.06, 0.10 and 0.12% of a.i.) of Carboxin + Thiram fungicide (commercial name Vitavax-Thiran). The germination and seed vigor were evaluated, in addition to the presence of pathogens in seeds after treatment (blotter test). All lots showed high levels of germination and vigor. The lot 82749, however, showed higher value in plug test in substrate emergence (99%) than lot 82745 (95%). Regarding the treatment with Carboxin + Thiram, no changes in germination average (98%) and vigor were noticed (average for the first germination count, length, and dry weight of seedling, plug test at 10 days after sowing of 97%, 4.9 cm, 4.0 mg and 96%, respectively), showing that this fungicide, in the evaluated doses, does not affect the quality of broccoli seeds. As to seeds health, the pathogens Alternaria spp. and Fusarium spp. were detected, in addition to saprophytic species such as Penicillium, Aspergillus, Trichoderma, and Rhizopus. The higher incidence of Fusarium spp. was noticed in lot 82744, and the lowest in lot 82749. As to Penicillium spp., lot 82479 was the most contaminated. Regarding other fungi, the general incidence was very low and there was no difference between lots and doses used.

Aplicação da Simulação de Monte Carlo no estudo de testes de fadiga em rodas agrícolas

Due to the increasing demand from clients and the search for better performances in the heavy vehicles industry, a progressive evolution in technology in a general way was needed. This paper uses a scientific method to validate, prior to its manufacture, the project of an agricultural wheel for sugar cane harvesters. Monte Carlo Simulation is used in conjunction with Finite Elements Method, in order to simulate the wheel's behavior in a cornering test, identify possible failure regions and get an estimate for its life under fatigue. To this end, test conditions according to EUWA Standards were simulated and obeyed, relevant to fatigue. Simulation results were interesting, according to industry experts involved in the project and manufacture of the product in question, and have provided important elements for the decision making regarding improvements that could be made on the product project before its execution
