Avaliação da redução de matéria orgânica do tratamento do efluente líquido deextração de fécula de mandioca por processo de biodigestão anaeróbia.

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment of cassava wastewater, separately from the root washing water, by means of ascending flux anaerobic digesters, with separation of the phases, without temperature control or addition of chemical products and to evaluate its suitability by means of its physical and chemical characteristics for throwing in receiving body, public sewage system or application in fertilization and irrigation. After reactors had been stabilized, essays were conducted varying feeding flow with 8.0, 12.0 and 16.0 Ld-1 corresponding to a hydraulic retention time of 8.17, 5.44 and 4.08 days, respectively. The best reduction for organic load reduction were obtained with hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 8.17 and 5.44 days with mean efficiencies of 89.8 and 90.9%, respectively.

Degradabilidade da matéria seca e da proteína bruta de grãos secos e de silagens de grãos úmidos de híbridos de milho (Zea mays), submetidos a diferentes processamentos

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of processing two corn hybrids conserved, dry and humid grains, the dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradability in situ. The particle size was determined and difference was verified in MGD (Medium Geometric Diameter) of processed ingredients. Three sheep were used with rumen canulated, in a completely randomized design, using a factorial outline 2 x 2 x 3, being two corn hybrid, two conservation methods and three processing forms (whole, coarsely and finely ground), with five times of incubation (3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours). The fraction A in SDC (silage of dent corn) of DM was superior to GDC (grain of dent corn) in all of the particles size. The ensiling process increased the DM solubility, reducing the fraction B in comparison to dry grain. The values regarding the fractions DP and DE the 5% per hour of the protein, were larger for SDC and GDC, it presents a decreasing when the incubation time advances. The fermentation rate was superior for SDC and GDC. The ensiling process has positive effect in the decreasing of DM and CP in comparison to GDC.

Perda de matéria seca em grãos de milho submetidos a sistemas de secagem natural e artificial.

The permanence of the corn grain in the field, after physiological maturity, is an important cause of crop losses, both in quantitative and qualitative aspect. By ceasing the supply of assimilated substances to grains, due to physiological maturity, the synthesis reactions are overcome by breathing, responsible for the maintenance of the living tissues of the grains, which occur at the expense of reserves accumulated during grain formation. In addition, there are losses from fungus and insects attack due to adverse weather conditions. Technological advances in recent decades, the develop of grain dryers with different capacities and efficiencies, has led to the early withdrawal of the product from the field, still damp, reducing spoilage. Moreover, the use of artificial drying systems can represent a significant cost to the producer. Thus, the present work aimed to study the effect of natural and artificial methods of drying on maize dry matter losses, for Botucatu, city of Sao Paulo state, Brazil. The cornfield production was conducted at the Experimental Farm “Lageado” and the experimental treatments were conducted in the Laboratory of Agricultural Products Processing, in the Department of Rural Engineering, where the drying systems were tested. The treatments were: shade (control), artificial with heated air, artificial unheated air and, drying attached to the plant. The following analyzes for quality monitoring were performed: weight test, thousand-grain weight test and, grain dry weight. The results showed significant loss in quality of drying beans attached to the plant, by assessing the dry matter loss and by the variation of the grain weight. The weight test showed that the worst performance was the artificial with heated air treatment. We used mathematical modeling techniques to describe the dry matter loss and adjusted the mathematical model to the experimental data analyzed. From the experimental data obtained during drying the grain attached to the plant, it was still possible to fit a regression model that estimates the loss of grain dry matter under the climate from Botucatu during the 2011/2012 harvest period.

Batata cv Pirassu como matéria prima industrial

The starch market has been growing and improving in recent years, leading to a search for products with specific characteristics that meet the industrial requirements. This work aimed to evaluate the centesimal composition of potato tubers cv Pirassu and its industrial potential. The potato cv Pirassu was cultivated in Pouso Alegre, mountainous region south of Minas Gerais state, with planting season in August and harvest season in November, 2011. The tubers were analyzed for color, pulp and centesimal composition. The starch extract was analyzed for centesimal composition, phosphorus content, apparent amylose, pasting properties and thermal properties. The results showed that the content of dry matter, total soluble sugar and starch of tubers, are compatible for processing for potato chips. The starch of this cultivate showed important viscosity characteristics for food industry such as: heat resistance and friction, good final viscosity and low granular organization.

Método Mehlich 3 como substituinte ao HCl para extração de Cobre e Zinco em solos com alto teor de matéria orgânica do sul do Brasil

No presente trabalho, foram comparados dois métodos de extração de cobre (Cu) e zinco (Zn) em solos com teor de matéria orgânica (MO) maior que 50g kg-1. Os métodos de extração comparados foram: Extração com HCl 0,1mol L-1 (método padrão para os estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina) e Mehlich 3. Este trabalho foi realizado no Laboratório de Química e Fertilidade do Solo da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC), no ano de 2009. As duas metodologias de extração foram aplicadas em 286 amostras de solo provenientes do Laboratório de Análise do Solo da UDESC, todas com mais de 50g kg-1 de MO. Os teores de cobre e zinco nos extratos foram determinados por espectrometria de absorção atômica com chama. Os resultados mostraram que houve correlação significativa entre os métodos, Cu (r=0,80) e Zn (r=0,93). A solução de Mehlich 3 extraiu mais cobre e menos zinco, quando comparada à solução de HCl 0,1mol L-1. O Mehlich 3 demonstrou ser eficiente na extração de cobre e zinco em solos com alto teor de MO, podendo substituir o método atual.

Correlações de Pearson e canônica entre componentes da matéria seca da forragem e sementes de azevém

O melhoramento genético de plantas forrageiras é fundamental para a intensificação da pecuária. Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a correlação simples de Pearson entre os componentes produtivos da matéria seca da forragem e de sementes para genótipos de azevém. Cinco genótipos de azevém, cultivados em cinco datas de semeadura, com diferentes números de cortes (variando de um a quatro), foram usados no delineamento blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições em Santa Maria, RS. Pastagens de azevém com uma menor produtividade total de matéria seca, mas composta por uma quantidade maior de folhas e menor de colmo, com maior teor proteico e menor teor de fibra em detergente neutro determinam maior rendimento de sementes, comprimento de espigas e peso de mil sementes, e menor número de espigas. A associação entre componentes do rendimento da matéria seca e do rendimento de semente é critério de fundamental importância na seleção de genótipos para o azevém, pois o rendimento de sementes correlaciona-se positivamente com a produção de matéria seca de folhas, teor de proteína bruta, comprimento de espiga e peso de mil sementes.
