Induction of resistance is defined as the activation of a state of resistance against diseases which is induced systemically in plants by the use of biotic or abiotic agents without any modification of the plant genome, occurring non-specific way, by activating genes coding for various plant defense responses. Chitosan is a polymer derived from the deacetylation of chitin, which is found in large quantities in crustacean shell, and studied with the potential to control plant pathogens, both by its direct fungistatic action, as the ability to induce protection of plants, indicating the presence of molecules of elicitoras characteristics. Three experiments with objective of evaluating the potential of chitosan in the seedling resistance induction were developed, beet (Beta vulgaris) seeds, cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seeds and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seeds, and the control of Fusarium sp., Rhizoctonia solani K¨uhn e Pythium sp. in vitro conditions. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replications. Beet seeds, tomato and cucumber were submerged in chitosan solution for 20 minutes, in concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2% in the control and distilled water. Seeds were sown in trays containing Plantmax Florestalr substrate sterilized and inoculated with Fusarium sp., Rhizoctonia solani K¨unh and Pythium sp., respectively for the three cultures. The experiment was conducted for 14 days in growth chamber with controlled temperature (25 C 2 C), light (12 hour photoperiod) and humidity (70% 10%). The evaluations were seed emergency, seedling damping-off, seedling length, fresh weight and activity of the enzymes phenylalanine amˆonia-liase (PAL), chitinase and b-1,3-glucanase. It was also rated the mycelial growth of Fusarium sp., Pythium sp. and R. solani on P.D.A. (Potato-Dextrose and Agar) culture medium containing chitosan at the same concentrations evaluated in seeds. For beet growing, seed treatment with chitosan presented higher emergence and the length of the seedlings, and reduced the percentage of tipping. Treatment with chitosan activated the systemic acquired resistance with expression of chitinase and b-1,3-glucanase enzymes. For the tomato crop in chitosan concentration of 0.25% favored the emergency of seedlings, reduced the incidence of tipping and activated the PAL enzymes, chitinase and b-1,3-glucanase. In cucumber on the concentration of up 0.5% favored seedlings emergence and reduces the incidence of tipping. Chitosan activated the PAL enzymes and b-1,3-glucanase. Chitosan also presented fungistatic action on the initial growth of Pythium sp. and R. solani in vitro conditions, however, such action did not prevail until the end of the experiment. To Fusarium sp. the concentration of chitosan resulted in the reduction of mycelial growth in vitro.

The crops are affected by pests and diseases that decrease productivity. Among them are the damping off of seedlings that can occur in pre and post-emergence. In bean crops, cucumber and beet these diseases occur, being caused by various pathogens, especialy fitopathogenic fungi. Several measures are used for the controle of such diseases, among them, is the chemical seed treatment fungicides. However, society has become increasingly concerned about the quality and food and environmental contamination, generation a growting search for sensitive products to humans and the environment. The use of essential oils to control plant pathogens is an example of alternative tested by science in the search for less aggressive technologies. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the use of essential oil Aloysia citriodora, in control of pathogens causing damping off in beans, cucumber and beet. This thesis was divided in four chapters, the introductory first, and the other addressing the control of Pythium sp. in beans, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on cucumber, and Fusarium sp. on beet. The methodology consisted of four experiments in each pathosystem, with all the work done at the Federal Technological University of Parana, Campus Dois Vizinhos. In the first experiment evaluated the fungistatic and fungicidal effect of the essential oil of A. citriodora on PDA in vitro in mycelial growth of pathogens studied. In the second experiment evaluated the in vitro effect of essential oil concentrations of A. citriodora in BD medium on microscope slides, on the germination of sporangia Pythium sp. and conidia Fusarium sp., and in Petri dishes with PDA medium, the sclerotia germination speed index of S. sclerotiorum. In the third experiment, we evaluated in germination test in paper roll (PR), the phytotoxic effect or not the use of essential oil concentrations of A. citriodora in dry bean seed, cucumber and beet. The variables used to assess this experiment were the germination percentage, mediun green mass per plant and average length of seedlings. In the fourth experiment we assessed the effect of treating bean seeds, cucumber and beet with essential oil contents of A. citriodora, seeds in their subsequent substrates contamined with pathogens studied, Pythium sp., S. sclerotiorum and Fusarium sp. In this experiment we used the following variables: percentage of emergence, percentage of post-emergence damping off, green average mass per plant, average length per plant and biochemical analyzes. The biochemistry of plant tissues evaluated were as follows: protein content, enzymatic activities of peroxidases, phenylalanine ammonia-liase (PAL), chitinases and β-1,3-glucanases. The in vitro results show that the essential oil has fungistatic and fungicidal effect on mycelial growth, on sporangia germination, conidia and sclerotia of the pathogens studied in this work, wich may be related to its major components, citral and limonene. The oil also exhibits low phytotoxicity to seeds of the species studied, only in beans decreases germination in most studied dosage (0,25%), cucumber also in the higher dosage (0,25%) reduce the length of seedlings, and beet there were no negative effects to the seedlings. In the test in substrate contaminated with the pathogens, the use of essential oil: increased germination and decreased post emergence damping off of beans seedlings; at a concentration of 0,0625% decreases post emergence damping off in cucumber. In biochemical analyzes found an increase in the enzymatic activity of peroxidases and β-1,3-glucanases on beans, and glucanases on cucumber, and increased enzyme activity of peroxidases on beet, showing action in resistance induction at damping off.

The release of nitrogen compounds in water bodies can result in many environmental problems, so treat wastewater, such as sewage in order to remove not only organic matter but also nitrogen has been studied a few decades. From the above, the objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a structured bed reactor, continuous flow, with recirculation, in removing organic matter and nitrogen present in wastewater under different cycles of intermittent aeration (AI) and to evaluate the influence of these cycles in the development of nitrifying bacteria (Oxidizing Bacteria Ammonia - BOA and Bacteria Oxidizing Nitrite - BON) and denitrifying (DESN) adhered (Support Material - MS) and suspension (Effluent - EF and sludge - LD). The reactor used has usable volume of 9.4 L. As support materials (MS) polyurethane foam was used, cut and fixed in PVC rods. 3 were worked aeration phases (AE) and non-aeration (AN) at different stage: Stage 1 (4 h EA / AN 2H); Stage 2 (2H EA / AN 1 h) and Phase 3 (2H EA / AN 2 h). During all hydraulic detention time phases was kept at 16 h and the effluent recirculated at a rate of 3 times the inflow. Were analyzed: pH, total alkalinity, temperature, chemical oxygen demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), nitrogen Kjeldhl Total (NKT), ammonia-N-N-NH4+, nitrito-N-NO2+andnitrato-NO3-. The concentration of BOA, BON and DESN was determined using the number More Provável.gSSV-1 (NMP.gSSV-1). In phase 1 the percentage removal NTK N-NH4+ and NT was 76±10%, 70±21% and 67±10% respectively. In Phase 2 80±15% of removel NKT, 86±15% of N-NH4+ e 68±9% of removel NT e na Fase 3 de 58±20%, 72±28% and 41±6% of NKT, N-NH4+ of NT, respectively. The denitrification efficiency in stage 3 was over 70%, indicating that occurred in the reactor the process of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (NDS). DQOT the removal percentages were 88 ± 4% in Phase 1, 94 ± 7 in Phase 2 and 90± 11% in Phase 3. The multivariate ANOVA applied to NMP.gSSV-1, it indicated that there was significant (F: 20,2, p <0,01) between the analyzed concentration of organisms AI in different cycles, but the differences between NMP.gSSV-1 depends not only isolated factors but of which means, and phase groups being analysis. From the results it is concluded that the working system is efficient in terms of nitrogen removal and organic matter, and that the stage with the highest availability of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and C/N ratio (Step 2), was the one obtained the lower concentrations of organic matter effluents and N-NH4+. Hinted that there was a significant difference between the concentration (NMP.100mL-1) of the analyzed organizations (BOA, BON and DESN), but this difference does not depend on factors alone but of which means (MS, EF or LD), stages (1, 2 or 3) and groups (BOA, BON and DESN) is being considered.

Marine shrimp farming has grown exponentially during the last years in Brazil. In spite of the promising economical situation, this activity is facing an increasing criticism due to its environmental impact. Thus, the necessity of alternatives to mitigate environmental degradation caused by this activity. An alternative that is being studied is the policulture that is the integrated culture of two or more organisms, normally one of them a filtering organism. Among filtering organisms, macroalgae are very practicable because they are efficient in the removal of the exceeding nutrients of the water and do not leave residues in the water. Besides, the integrated culture with macroalgae allows the economical exploration of the seaweed (for the manufacture of jelly and jam, for the dairy industry, pharmaceuticals, etc.) along with possibility of a sustainable aquaculture. In the present experiment, the development of the seaweed Gracilaria birdiae, the influence and tolerance of this species to the environmental parameters, and its absorption efficiency in relation with the three kinds of macronutrients (NH4+, NO3- and PO4-3) found in the effluents of marine shrimp farming was studied. The experiment was divided in two parts: a laboratorial part and one part carried under natural conditions. The water used in the laboratory trial was collected in the shrimp ponds of Tecnarão farm and distributed in aquaria containing 20 g of G. birdiae. In the field trial, 0.5 kg of G. birdiae was inserted in PVC cages cultivated in the farm. The results of the study showed a modest growth of G. birdiae, probably due to its low tolerance to highly eutrophicated environments. However, the removal of nutrients was very expressive. Ammonia was reduced in approximately 34 %. Ortho-phosphate showed a reduction of 93.5 %. The capacity of biofiltration of the NO3- by the macro algae was of 100 %, showing that G. birdiae is a seaweed-filtered with a high level of removal for this nutrient under laboratorial conditions. In spite of the low growth of the macro algae in the experiment, the results in relation to the removal of nutrients of the water was encouraging, suggesting that this species can be an efficient biofilter and thus, a strong candidate to be used in a sustainable aquaculture

A tecnologia do sistema de cultivo com bioflocos (BFT) permite a intensificação da densidade de estocagem, bem como o aumento da produtividade no qual exige esforços no manejo para a manutenção de qualidade de água. No entanto, um dos problemas é a liberação de nitrogênio através de alimento não consumidos, juntamente com as excretas dos organismos cultivados, principalmente na forma de amônia total. A adição de fontes de carbono orgânico é uma alternativa na redução de amônia tornando possível a conversão deste composto em proteína bacteriana, sendo disponível como alimento suplementar no ambiente de cultivo. Portanto foram testadas fontes de carbono como o melaço de cana-de-açúcar, dextrose e farelo de arroz no cultivo do camarão L. vannamei em sistemas BFT, avaliando a redução da concentração do nitrogênio amoniacal total em experimentos nas fases de berçário e engorda, bem como a análise de desempenho zootécnico dos animais. Os experimentos foram realizados utilizando caixas com volume útil de 800 L. O experimento berçário teve a duração de 35 dias, com densidade de estocagem de 1200 camarões m- ² e peso médio de 0,024±0,01 g. As fontes de carbono melaço de cana-de-açúcar (M) e farelo de arroz (F) foram combinadas em diferentes percentuais. No experimento engorda foi utilizada densidade de estocagem de 300 camarões m- ², peso médio de 4,09±0,51 g, durante 70 dias. Os tratamentos foram distinguidos pelas fontes de carbono dextrose e farelo de arroz. No experimento berçário a concentração da amônia foi significativamente menor (p<0,05) com o uso do melaço. O nitrito acumulou até o final do experimento, mas devido ao curto período experimental não interferiu nos índices de desempenho zootécnico, nos quais não apresentaram diferenças pelo uso das fontes de carbono. No experimento engorda, com o uso da dextrose, a concentração de amônia foi significativamente menor (p<0,05). Apesar de elevadas concentrações de nitrito, as sobrevivências foram similares e acima de 80%. Dados zootécnicos como peso final, ganho de peso semanal, conversão alimentar aparente e produtividade foram significativamente melhores (p<0,05) no tratamento farelo de arroz. Em ambos os experimentos as fontes de carbono de degradação rápida, como o melaço e a dextrose foram mais eficientes na redução de amônia. A degradação rápida destas fontes podem ter disponibilizado maiores teores de carbono como substrato para as bactérias heterotróficas metabolizarem a amônia, melhorando a qualidade da água.

RESUMO: Grande proporção do nitrogênio no solo está na forma de material proteináceo, cuja quebra é regulada pela atividade de proteases extracelulares. Outra enzima envolvida no ciclo do nitrogênio, a urease, é responsável pela hidrólise da uréia a amônia e CO2. Neste trabalho, avaliou-se o efeito da suplementação do solo com diferentes doses e tipos de lodo (ETE de Barueri e ETE de Franca) na atividade das enzimas protease e urease. As aplicações de lodo ao solo iniciaram-se em 1999 a taxas que variaram na dose recomendada, tomando-se como base os requerimentos da planta em N, até uma taxa 8 vezes maior. Nos anos de 2004 e 2005 os lodos não foram aplicados. Em 2006 e 2007 somente foi aplicado o lodo de Franca. Os resultados deste trabalho referem-se às coletas de solo feitas no ano agrícola 2007/2008. A atividade da protease aumentou com o aumento da dose de lodo de Franca. Por outro lado, houve decréscimo da atividade da protease com o aumento da dose do lodo de Barueri. Na maior dose deste lodo a atividade foi semelhante à obtida no tratamento com fertilização mineral. A menor atividade daquela enzima foi obtida no tratamento testemunha. A atividade da urease foi maior nos tratamentos com o lodo de Franca independentemente da dose aplicada. A atividade das duas enzimas envolvidas no ciclo do nitrogênio foram sensíveis indicadores da qualidade de solo tratado com lodo de esgoto.

Devido ao crescente aumento do uso de aeradores artificiais em sistema de cultivo de peixes e à carência de estudos nesta área, este trabalho avaliou a influência de um aerador tipo propeller diffuser (AR 120) nas variáveis bióticas e abióticas em um viveiro de engorda de peixe. Foram demarcados três pontos de coleta localizados a 5, 10 e 23 m de distância do aerador, durante 15 dias consecutivos, sendo 5 dias antes do uso do aerador, 5 dias com o aerador ligado e 5 dias com o aerador desligado. As variáveis limnológicas estudadas não apresentaram diferenças significativas (P > 0,05) entre os três pontos de coleta, porém, em relação ao uso do aerador, variáveis como temperatura, transparência, pH, oxigênio dissolvido, bicarbonato, CO2 livre, fósforo total, ortofosfato, amônia, nitrato e nitrito diferiram significativamente (P < 0,05) com a agitação mecânica da água. Já a condutividade, alcalinidade, CO2 total e clorofila a não apresentaram diferenças significativas (P > 0,05) com o uso do aerador. A comunidade fitoplanctônica sofreu influência direta do aerador (P < 0,05), dominada pelas Chlorophyta, representando mais de 70% do total de organismos presentes, seguidas das Cyanophyta e Chrysophyta, porém estas últimas tenderam a aumentar após o uso do aerador, uma vez que estes grupos se adaptam rapidamente às mudanças do ambiente.

Avaliou-se o efeito da inclusão de um complexo enzimático em dietas para tilápias-do-nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) sobre o desempenho, a composição química da carcaça e a qualidade da água. Foram utilizados 200 alevinos revertidos (4,57 ± 1,24 g), distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em 20 tanques de 500 litros, com quatro tratamentos e cinco repetições, considerando a unidade experimental uma caixa com dez peixes. Os peixes foram alimentados com dietas contendo 0; 0,033; 0,066 ou 0,099% de complexo enzimático. As dietas foram processadas na forma peletizada e fornecidas quatro vezes ao dia, às 8, 11, 14 e 17 h. Os valores médios de pH, condutividade elétrica, oxigênio dissolvido, temperatura, fósforo total, amônia e nitrato da água de cultivo não foram influenciados pela dieta. A inclusão do complexo enzimático na dieta não afetou o ganho de peso, as taxas de sobrevivência e de crescimento específico, mas influenciou o consumo de ração e a conversão alimentar, cujos valores foram maiores nos peixes alimentados com a dieta com 0,066% de complexo enzimático. Não foram observadas diferenças nos teores de matéria seca, umidade, proteína bruta, matéria mineral, cálcio e fósforo na carcaça dos peixes, no entanto, o teor de extrato etéreo reduziu de forma linear com o aumento do nível de complexo enzimático. A utilização de complexo enzimático (amilase, protease, celulase, lipase, pectinase, xilanase, β-glucanase e fitase) no nível de 0,066% em dietas para juvenis de tilápia-do-nilo piora a conversão alimentar, mas não influencia o desempenho e a composição corporal dos peixes.

Novas tecnologias têm sido testadas para aumentar a eficiência do uso de fertilizantes nitrogenados pelas culturas, como é o caso do uso dos fertilizantes de liberação lenta. Pesquisas recentes mostram que o uso das zeólitas em associação a uréia nas adubações, pode aumentar a eficiência agronômica do N em algumas culturas. Visando avaliar o aproveitamento do nitrogênio por plantas de milho em função da aplicação de fertilizantes nitrogenados de liberação lenta a base de zeólita enriquecida com uréia, um experimento foi conduzido em um Latossolo Amarelo distrófico, textura muito argilosa, em Paragominas-PA. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, em parcelas subdivididas, com oito tratamentos e quatro repetições, correspondentes a duas fontes de N (uréia comum e zeólita enriquecida com uréia), nas parcelas, e quatro níveis de N (0, 50%, 100% e 150% da dose recomendada para a cultura do milho), nas subparcelas. A aplicação de zeólita enriquecida com uréia não difere da uréia convencional no aproveitamento de N pelas plantas de milho, em condições de elevada precipitação pluviométrica. A aumento da dose N aplicada no solo promove aumento nos teores e quantidades acumuladas do nutriente nas folhas, colmo e grãos

No processo de formação de mudas, um dos pré-requisitos para se obterem plântulas com precocidade para enxertia é uma adequada recomendação de fertilizantes. Deste modo, com o objetivo de determinar os níveis de nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio adequados para a produção de plantas aptas para enxertia em viveiro de seringueira, foi conduzido um experimento em área de produtor, localizado em Açailândia, MA, em solo classificado como Podzólico Vermelho-amarelo, textura média. Os tratamentos correspondentes a quatro doses de nitrogênio (0; 120; 240; e 360kg.ha-1 de N) na forma de sulfato de amônia; fósforo (0; 160; 320; e 480kg.ha-1 de P2O5) na forma de superfosfato triplo, potássio (0; 140; 280 e 420kg.ha-1 de K2O) na forma de cloreto de potássio; e de magnésio (0; 50; 100 e 150kg.ha-1 de MgO) na forma de sulfato de magnésio. Pelos resultados obtidos recomendam-se as doses de 98,3kg.ha-1 de N, 130kg.ha-1 de P2O5, 188kg.ha-1 de K2O e 44kg.ha-1 de MgO, por terem proporcionado o índice de aproveitamento de 85% de plantas aptas para enxertia e a produção de 64.600 porta-enxertos comerciais por hectare.
