O ácaro-rajado, Tetranychus urticae Koch (1836) (Acari: Tetranychidae), é a principal praga na cultura do morangueiro. O objetivo deste trabalho foi a caracterização química do óleo essencial de Chenopodium ambrosioides L. e a avaliação de seus efeitos sobre o ácaro-rajado. Os compostos do óleo essencial foram identificados pelasanálises de CG-DIC e CG-EM. A mortalidade e a oviposição foram avaliadas após a pulverização do óleo (2,5; 5,0; 7,5 e 10,0% v v-1) sobre fêmeas do ácaro-rajado. O rendimento do óleo essencial foi de 0,3%, e os compostos identificados foram (Z)-ascaridol (87%), (E)-ascaridol (5,04%), p-cimeno (4,83%), a- terpineno (1,24%) e piperitona (0,7%). Os maiores valores para mortalidade e redução de oviposição observados foram 85% e 69%, respectivamente. O óleo essencial de C. ambrosioidesé uma opção promissora para o manejo do ácaro-rajado.

RESUMO A videira ‘Niagara Rosada’ é a principal cultivar de uva de mesa plantada no Sul do Brasil. Para avaliar a qualidade da uva produzida, foi conduzido um experimento com aNiagara Rosada nos seguintes porta-enxertos: ‘Jales’, ‘Tropical’, ‘Campinas’, ‘VR 043-43’, ‘R-99’, ‘Paulsen 1103’, ‘Schwarzmann’,‘Traviú’, ‘Golias’, ‘Gravesac’, ‘RR 101-14’, ‘Dog Ridge’, ‘VR 044-4’, ‘Kobber5BB’ e ‘SO4’, mais o pé-franco. Foram avaliados a fenologia, o vigor, a sobrevivência das plantas ea produção (produtividade, tamanho do cacho e número de cachos por planta). Os diferentes porta-enxertos não influenciam na fenologia da planta. O maior vigor foi observado para o ‘Dog Ridge’, seguido do‘Campinas’, ‘Paulsen 1103’ e ‘VR 043-43’. As maiores mortalidades de planta ocorreram para pé-franco (56%), ‘Traviú’ (50%) e ‘Schwarzmann’(41%). Os porta-enxertos ‘Paulsen 1103’, ‘Campinas’ e ‘Golias’, além de altaprodutividade, apresentam cachos maiores e mais compactos.

This work describes the construction of a home-made low-cost reactor, using easily available materials, capable of destroying efficiently dissolved organic matter. Just 30 minutes of irradiation were sufficient to destroy more than 99% of the humic acids present in a solution of 4 mg C L-1. Copper speciation was evaluated in natural waters of different salinities to test the reactor's efficiency in destroying organically complexed metal species. The effect of the organic matter concentration, salinity, dissolved oxygen and temperature in the photo-oxidation process is discussed.

The surface activity of humic acids (HA) is a parameter which might be considered in the evaluation of all types of aggregation of these substances. In this work the surface tension of aquatic and terrestrial-HA aqueous solutions was observed under varied conditions of pH, concentration and ionic strength. Results showed that HA present surface activity for a extent range of concentration. The surface tension decreases with HA concentration increasing and, for all samples exist a concentration value above which a reduction in the rate of the solute migration to the solution surface is observed. This value is sensibly reduced and sharpened with the increasing of the ionic strength. Surface tension is also reduced with the acidity increasing, being a minimum reached between pH 3 and 5. Observed effects are explained in view of conformational arrangements of HA which tend to agglomerate in micelle-like domains in aqueous solutions.

Adopting the perspective of human health risk assessment, an interdisciplinary research group has been investigating since 1998 the quality of mussels and oysters cultivated in coastal zones of Santa Catarina State. Evaluation of physico-chemical parameters considered relevant in measuring the degree of eutrophication showed values compatible with the dynamics of well balanced environmental systems. Concentrations of metallic and semi-metallic elements in seawater and bivalves were found to be similar to or lower than those found in Chile, Greenland and the USA. Further investigations focusing upon sediments will provide new and useful data for the management of sustainable mariculture strategies in Brazil.

Ilex paraguariensis is a native plant in Southern Brazil, whose leaves are utilized in beverages such as chimarrão and tererê. This study investigated variations of total methylxanthines in leaves from two Ilex populations collected at one-month intervals over the course of one year. The levels varied from 1.92 to 10.37 mg/g (Ijuí) and 1.77 to 9.17 mg/g (Santa Maria). Statistical analysis indicated a significative variation in the contents of all samples analysed, confirming seasonal fluctuations. These results show that the period of harvest might decisively influence the organoleptic characteristics of raw material used in industry and therefore in commercial products.

Evaluation of the pollution by the herbicides alachlor, propanil and atrazine in water samples from four rivers in the cities of Turvo and Meleiro, south of Santa Catarina State, was made using the SPME-GC-ECD method. The proposed method was optimized and validated. The correlation coefficients were higher than 0.997 and linear ranges of the analytical curves were 0.1-4; 0.1-2.5 and 0.1-5 µg L-1 for atrazine, alachlor and propanil, respectively. The herbicides were quantified by GC-ECD and identified by GC-MS. Both of the selected rivers presented contamination by at least one of the studied herbicides.

This work describes the liquid-liquid extraction of uranium after digestion of colofanite (a fluoroapatite) from Itataia with sulfuric acid. The experiments were run at room temperature in one stage. Among the solutions tested the highest distribution coefficient (D > 60) was found for 40%vol. DEHPA (di(2-ethyl-hexyl)phosphoric acid) + 20% vol. TOPO (trioctylphosphine oxide) in kerosene. Thorium in the raffinate was quantitatively extracted by TOPO (0.1% vol.) in cyclohexane. Uranium stripping and separation from iron was possible using 1.5 mol L-1 ammonium or sodium carbonate (room temperature, one stage). However, pH control is essential for a good separation.

Two samples of calcic bentonite of the Santa Elena Peninsula, Ecuador, were pillared with Al13 ions in the ratio of 10, 15 and 20 meq of Al g-1 of clay, calcinated at 573, 723 and 873 ºK and acid activated with 4, 6 and 8 mol L-1 H2SO4. Analyses by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, differential and gravimetric thermal, density, surface area and porosity, were applied in order to study the modifications occurred in the crystalline structure of the montmorillonite. The 8 mol L-1 H2SO4 acid-activated 15 meq of Al g-1 of clay at 573 ºK Al-pillared samples indicated the best results in the bleaching of the soybean oil measured by UV-visible spectrophotometer.

Samples of shells of oysters and mussels from sea farm around the Santa Catarina Island in south Brazil were collected and analyzed by DRX, FRX, SEM, CHN-S, FTIR, TG, AAS/Flame and AAS /GF. The results showed that the crystalline structure of mussel's shells is mainly formed by aragonite and the oyster's shells by calcite. The calcium percentage in both shells species was in the range of 33 to 35% and also 850 and 1200 mg/kg of strontium was detected in the shells of oysters and mussels, respectively. The content of organic matter was larger in the mussel's shells and the thermal degradation of both shells species occurred by three events at different temperatures from 250 to 830 ºC.

O emprego de plantas antogônicas tem sido uma alternativa no controle de fitonematóides. O efeito da erva-de-Santa-Maria (ESM) sobre a população de Pratylenchus brachyurus foi avaliado em teste in vitro e em dois experimentos em condições de casa de vegetação. No teste in vitro, utilizou-se extrato de ESM em quatro concentrações (20; 2; 0,2 e 0,02%), em suspensões contendo 500 exemplares de P. brachyurus. Após 48 h, os nematóides vivos foram coletados e contados. Verificou-se que a ESM possui ação nematicida, sendo observada maior mortalidade de juvenis de P. brachyurus quando comparada com o controle químico (aldicarb). Nos experimentos em casa de vegetação, plantas de ESM e soja foram inoculadas com 1.500 e 5.000 nematóides, respectivamente, e, após 45 dias, a parte aérea (PA) foi incorporada ao solo, seguindo-se os seguintes tratamentos: incorporação da PA da ESM; incorporação da PA da soja; e sem incorporação da PA. Após um mês, cada vaso recebeu uma planta de soja, para atuar como indicador biológico de parasitismo. Após 45 dias, avaliou-se a população final do nematóide presente nas raízes de soja e no solo e as massas seca da PA e fresca de raízes da soja. Houve redução da população do nematóide nos tratamentos com ESM, mas foi observada fitotoxidez em plantas de soja.

In this study the BEST7 software was employed to quantify different classes of functional groups and to model the proton titration behavior of humic substances. To illustrate the process, the Suwannee River fulvic acid of the IHSS (International Humic Substances Society) was used. Five categories - two classes of phenolic groups (phenol and cathecol), two classes of carboxylic groups (benzoic and phtalic) and the combination between them (salicylic) - of oxygenated groups were considered as being responsible for the potentiometric behavior of the sample and were quantitatively determined. The most and the least abundant groups were cathecol (3.300 ± 0.010 mmol g-1) and phenol (1.225 ± 0.070 mmol g-1), respectively. The estimated equilibrium constants were also determined and were in good agreement with the literature values for phenol and cathecol groups and for benzoic, phtalic and salicylic acids. Distribution diagrams of the species were generated with the software SPE and SPEPLOT.

Neste estudo foi desenvolvida uma metodologia analítica para determinação de 2,4-dinitrofenol (2,4-DNP) em amostras de águas de chuva de regiões de Santa Catarina utilizando a voltametria de onda quadrada (VOQ) e de forma ex situ. O estudo envolveu a aplicabilidade de utilizar o eletrodo de carbono vítreo modificado com filme de bismuto. A formação do filme de bismuto foi otimizada por voltametria cíclica e em seguida, estudos de pH e eletrólito de suporte foram investigados para a redução do 2,4-DNP. Os parâmetros analíticos que afetam a sensibilidade da VOQ foram otimizados. Na sequência, as figuras analíticas de mérito foram obtidas: faixa linear de trabalho de 3,2 x 10-7 - 4,6 x 10-6 mol L-1, coeficiente de correlação de 0,996, RSD% = 17,5 (1,3 x 10-6 mol L-1, n = 6), 11,7 (2,5 x 10-6 mol L-1, n = 6) e 6,4 ( 4,5 x 10-6 mol L-1, n = 6), limite de detecção de 1,2 x 10-7 mol L-1. E, finalmente estudos de recuperação foram realizados para avaliar a exatidão da metodologia. Valores obtidos ficaram entre 84-112% (2,5 x 10-6 mol L-1) e 89 - 113% (4,5 x 10-6 mol L-1).
