Alternative substrates in the production of lettuce seedlings and their productivity in the field

Based on the hypothesis that alternative substrates should improve the yield of lettuce crops by producing better quality seedlings, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different substrates on the production of seedlings of this species, and their growth in the field. The study was in two stages. The first consisted of the production of lettuce seedlings, and the second assessed their development in the field. Four alternative substrates were tested, obtained by mixing together a sieved vermicompost from which all clumps had been removed, sterilized sand, charred rice husks and basalt powder. The commercial substrate, Plantmax HA®, was also tested. In the first phase, which was conducted in a completely randomised design with four replications, the height, root length, number of leaves, leaf area and dry weight of the seedlings were all evaluated 28 days after sowing. In the second phase, which was carried out in the field in a randomised block design with four replications, the plants were harvested 50 days after transplanting and the head diameter, fresh weight, number of leaves and leaf and stem dry weight were evaluated. The alternative substrates produced larger seedlings in less time than the commercial substrate, resulting in a reduction of 10 days in the total crop cycle. The reduction in the time between sowing and harvesting, together with those aspects relating to sustainability, are the main advantages of the use of alternative substrates, since in the field crop production did not differ between treatments.

Produção de beterraba em função do espaçamento

Atualmente alguns híbridos importados têm substituído as tradicionais cultivares de beterraba de mesa, sem no entanto, desenvolver estudos básicos sobre a melhor densidade de plantio para as condições brasileiras. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do espaçamento entre linhas e entre plantas na produção de beterraba híbrido Boro. O experimento foi conduzido em campo da UNESP em Botucatu-SP, de 10 de setembro a 8 de dezembro de 2010. Foram estudados dois fatores, espaçamentos entre linhas (EL) de 20 e 25 cm, e 7,5; 10,0 e 12,5 cm entre plantas (EP), no esquema fatorial 2 EL x 3 EP, totalizando seis tratamentos (populações variando de 246.400 a 513.333 plantas ha-1, considerando-se canteiros com 1,0 m de largura e espaço entre canteiros de 0,3 m). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com cinco repetições e parcelas de 2 m2. As mudas foram produzidas em bandejas de polipropileno com 288 células. A irrigação foi por aspersão e a adubação foi igual para todos os tratamentos, seguindo a recomendação para o estado de São Paulo. A maior massa fresca por raiz (116,1 g) foi obtida no EL de 25,0 cm. Em relação ao comprimento da raiz, observaram-se diferenças significativas apenas para o EP, sendo que o maior espaçamento, 12,5 cm, resultou em maior comprimento (63,1 mm). Foram obtidos maiores valores de diâmetro das raízes quanto maiores os EP (65,6 mm para 12,5 cm) e EL (63,1 mm para 25 cm). A maior produtividade (44,7 t ha-1) foi obtida no menor EP (7,5 cm), enquanto que o EL não afetou a produtividade. Pode-se concluir que o melhor EP foi de 7,5 cm pela maior produtividade. Quanto ao tamanho da raiz, tanto o maior EL (25 cm) como o maior EP (12,5 cm) resultaram em raízes com maiores massa média e diâmetro.

Desenvolvimento radicular e aéreo, nutrição e eficiência de absorção de macronutrientes e zinco por cultivares de arroz de terras altas afetadas pela adubação fosfatada

In Brazil, phosphorus availability is one factor that that more limit yield of upland rice under rainfed system. Then, better understanding of cultivars development at phosphorus soil fertilization is very important in the production systems making this more sustainable. The objective was to evaluate the influence of phosphorus doses applied to the soil over the root length, root and shoot dry matter, concentration and content of macronutrient and zinc in shoot and root as well as the efficiency of nutrient uptake per meter root of upland cultivars of intermediate and modern groups. The experiment was carried out in greenhouse conditions in a completely randomized design in factorial scheme 4 x 4. Treatments were four levels of P fertilization applied at the soil (0, 50, 100 and 200 mg dm(-3) of P) and four upland rice cultivars (Maravilha - modern group, IAC-201, IAC-202 and Carajas - intermediate group). There is increase in phosphorus availability in the soil with increasing levels of P fertilization. Under low phosphorus availability, cultivars of the intermediate group have better shoots and root system development in relation to the modern cultivar group. Level of phosphorus affected nutrients contents in shoots and root system of upland rice cultivars. The increasing phosphorus fertilization increased uptake of nutrients per meter of root; and although under higher phosphorus availability there was a greater root growth, in low phosphorus availability root growth was greater at the expense of shoot growth.

Avaliação dos potenciais fitotóxico e citotóxico de pyrostegia venusta (Ker Gawl.) miers (bignoniaceae)

Pyrostegia venusta (Ker-Gawl.) Miers (Bignoniaceae) is a species with a wide distribution in nearly all of Southern and Southeastern Brazil, has long been used in folk medicine and is considered an invasive plant. The phytotoxic potential of a hydroalcoholic extract of the flowers of P. venusta was evaluated by the germination (pre and post-emergence) and the phytotoxicity bioassays (mitotic index) on the test plant Lactuca sativa (Asteraceae) (lettuce). A phytochemical screening was performed to identify the components of the floral extract. Different concentrations of the extract caused changes in the germination parameters, the root length and the mitotic index. The phytochemical screening indicated the presence of substances such as terpenes, sterols, flavonoids, tannins and saponins, which are compounds that may be associated directly with the results of cytotoxicity and phytotoxicity observed. P. venusta has allelochemical components capable of impairing the germination and root growth of lettuce.

Sensitivity of cotton cultivars to soil compaction

Cotton is one of the most sensitive crops to soil compaction, but there may be genetic variability for this trait. The objective of this study was to evaluate cotton cultivars sensitivity to soil compaction. Soil columns were built with three pvc rings with internal diameter of 10 cm and filled with an alfisol. The heights of the top and bottom rings were 15 cm, and the intermediate ring, in which the soil was compacted, was 3.5 cm high. The levels of compression used in the subsurface were characterized by penetration resistances of 0.41, 0.93, 1.41 and 1.92 MPa. The cultivars 701 FMT, FMT 705, FMT 707, FMX 951 LL and FMX 966 LL were grown up to 23 days after plant emergence, when the dry matter of shoots and roots, root length density and root diameter were determined. The cotton cultivars have variability in their sensitivity to resistance to penetration. The cultivar 707 FMT is more sensitive to soil compaction, while the FMT 701 is more tolerant. Penetration resistance of around 0.92 to 1.06 MPa reduce 50% cotton root growth, but resistance to penetration of 1.92 MPa did not totally prevent growth.
