The objective of this work was to evaluate the adaptation of anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) cultivars as cut flowers in a subtropical area, located in north of Paraná State, Brazil. The Apalai, Ianomami, Kinã, nK 102, Parakanã, Rubi, and Terena cultivars were cultivated in a nursery under 80% shade. The number of leaves and inflorescences, floral stem length, length and width of inflorescences, and spadix length were evaluated. The experimental design was in completely randomized blocks, with six replicates and five plants per plot. During the 18 months evaluated, 'Parakanã' produced 11 inflorescences per plant, whereas the other cultivars produced seven to nine inflorescences per plant. The number of leaves produced per plant was: 'Ianomami', 25; 'Parakanã', 20; 'Apalai' and 'Terena', 15; 'Kinã' and 'Rubi', 11; and 'nK 102', 9. The Apalai, nK 102, Parakanã, and Rubi cultivars are the most recommended as cut flowers; the Ianomami cultivar is not recommended as a cut flower in this region.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the economic viability of an agrosilvipastoral system developed for Zona da Mata mountainous areas in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, as well as to compare different options for wood (Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium) commercialization of the second thinning. The data were obtained from a 10 year-old agrosilvipastoral system established in four hectares at Embrapa Gado de Leite station in Coronel Pacheco, MG, Brazil. As evaluation criteria for the economic viability analysis, the adopted methods were the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR), both calculated at 6% interest rate. Despite the small difference, adding value to forest products increased the attractiveness of the proposed system. Considered separately, the agricultural activity was impracticable, whereas the forestry and livestock activities were independently viable. The studied system seems to be equally tolerant to price variations for forest and livestock products, as well as strongly tolerant to variations in production costs.

The objective of this work was to develop a procedure to estimate soybean crop areas in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Estimations were made based on the temporal profiles of the enhanced vegetation index (Evi) calculated from moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (Modis) images. The methodology developed for soybean classification was named Modis crop detection algorithm (MCDA). The MCDA provides soybean area estimates in December (first forecast), using images from the sowing period, and March (second forecast), using images from the sowing and maximum crop development periods. The results obtained by the MCDA were compared with the official estimates on soybean area of the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. The coefficients of determination ranged from 0.91 to 0.95, indicating good agreement between the estimates. For the 2000/2001 crop year, the MCDA soybean crop map was evaluated using a soybean crop map derived from Landsat images, and the overall map accuracy was approximately 82%, with similar commission and omission errors. The MCDA was able to estimate soybean crop areas in Rio Grande do Sul State and to generate an annual thematic map with the geographic position of the soybean fields. The soybean crop area estimates by the MCDA are in good agreement with the official agricultural statistics.
Correlação de variáveis espectrais e estoque de carbono da biomassa aérea de sistemas agroflorestais

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a correlação entre variáveis espectrais e o estoque de carbono da biomassa aérea de sistemas agroflorestais da região de Tomé‑Açu, PA. Foram testados 24 índices de vegetação de três grupos (razão simples, diferença normalizada e complexos), gerados a partir de imagens do sensor TM/Landsat‑5, adquiridas em 2008. As variáveis obtidas foram correlacionadas, por meio de regressão linear simples, ao estoque de carbono de quatro classes de sistemas agroflorestais, de diferentes idades e composições florísticas. As correlações obtidas entre as variáveis espectrais e o estoque de carbono foram significativas em 47% dos índices testados e variaram de acordo com as diferenças de biomassa nos sistemas analisados. As melhores correlações foram obtidas pelos índices de vegetação de razão simples e de diferença normalizada, em sistemas agroflorestais jovens, e pelos índices de vegetação complexos, em sistemas agroflorestais mais antigos.

The objective of this work was to evaluate a simple, semi‑automated methodology for mapping cropland areas in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. A Fourier transform was applied over a time series of vegetation index products from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (Modis) sensor. This procedure allows for the evaluation of the amplitude of the periodic changes in vegetation response through time and the identification of areas with strong seasonal variation related to crop production. Annual cropland masks from 2006 to 2009 were generated and municipal cropland areas were estimated through remote sensing. We observed good agreement with official statistics on planted area, especially for municipalities with more than 10% of cropland cover (R² = 0.89), but poor agreement in municipalities with less than 5% crop cover (R² = 0.41). The assessed methodology can be used for annual cropland mapping over large production areas in Brazil.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da secagem da parte aérea da mandioca, ao sol e à sombra, sobre a composição bromatológica e o coeficiente de digestibilidade aparente (CDA) de nutrientes, energia e aminoácidos para tilápia-do-nilo (Oreochromis niloticus). Não houve diferença entre os métodos de secagem para a composição bromatológica. O CDA da proteína bruta apresentou maior digestibilidade para a parte aérea seca à sombra. A secagem da parte aérea da mandioca à sombra permite maior conservação do conteúdo proteico e melhor digestibilidade aparente da fração proteica e aminoacídica para a tilápia-do-nilo.
