Não preferência para alimentação e antibiose em cultivares de amendoim a Stegasta bosquella (Chambers) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

This work aimed to evaluate the attractiveness, non-preference for feeding and antibiosis in straight and runner growth habit peanut cultivars to Stegasta bosquella (Chambers). Eight cultivars were evaluated, four of straight growth habit (IAC Tatu, IAC 22, IAC 8112 and IAC 5) and four of runner growth habit (IAC Runner 886, IAC 147, IAC 125 and IAC 503). Free-choice and no-choice feeding tests were performed, using pairs of overlapped leaf discs with 1.0 cm diameter, which were placed in Petri dishes where third instar larvae of S. bosquella were released. The attractiveness to the larvae was assessed in predetermined times, in addition to the dry mass consumed. In the antibiosis assay, the biological parameters were evaluated: period and viability of larvae, pre-pupae, pupae, and total, weight of larvae and pupae, sex ratio and longevity. None of the runner growth habit cultivars exhibited non-preference for feeding-type resistance. Among the straight growth habit cultivars, IAC 5 and IAC 22 were the least attractive and consumed in the free-choice feeding test, and IAC 5 and IAC 8112 were the least attractive in the no-choice test. The runner growth habit cultivars IAC 147 and IAC Runner 886 affected the larval survival of S. bosquella, exhibiting antibiosis-type resistance. For the straight growth habit cultivars, IAC 22 and IAC 8112 affected the larval viability, presenting antibiosis-type resistance. The straight and runner growth habit cultivars did not influence the biological parameters of weight of pupae, sex ratio and longevity of S. bosquella.

Growth and reproduction of earthworm in organic waste mixtures and effects on chemical and microbial properties of vermicompost

There is a large demand for organic fertilizers in organic agriculture, but few options for different wastes have been studied. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the biological responses of earthworms Eisenia andrei Bouche in wastes composed of cattle manure, peanut husk and spent coffee grounds, as well as to analyze the effect of earthworms on the microbial density and chemical properties of the vermicompost. Four treatments were employed, H1: cattle manure (100%), H2: cattle manure (75%) + peanut husk (25%), H3: cattle manure (75%) + spent coffee grounds (25%), H4: cattle manure (50%) + spent coffee ground (25%) + peanut husk (25%), with six replicates in a completely randomized design. The addition of spent coffee grounds to the manure increased the total biomass and indicated a rising trend in the production of cocoons, while the peanut husk apparently did not affect these variables. The CFU of bacteria and fungi were affected by the treatments at the beginning and end of the experiment and by the earthworms during the waste transformation. The evaluated organic waste mixtures differently affected the growth and reproduction of earthworms and chemical and biological properties of humus.

Solubilización de fuentes de fósforo asociadas a un compuesto orgánico enriquecido con biofertilizantes

The enrichment of an organic compound with biofertilizers of microorganisms (solubilizing phosphorus bacteria, BSF) can improve the properties of phosphate fertilizers applied to soils to increase nutrient availability. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with a factorial 4x2 +1 arrangement of treatments: 1) four sources of phosphorus: phosphate rock, natural phosphate, triple superphosphate (TSP) and Cuban phosphate rock; 2) two sources of bio-fertilizer prepared from filter cake (cane waste) enriched with microorganisms and no enrichment; 3) and an absolute control (no filter cake or fertilizer); repeated three times. Data was analyzed with ANOVA and treatment means were compared using Tukey (p <= 0.05). Assessments of available P (Bray-2 and Oniani methodology) and the quantification of total and solubilizing bacteria and fungi in the soil were performed 30, 60 and 90 d after starting the experiment. After 60 d, the population of BSF was lower in the control (p <= 0.05) and the content of P (Bray-2) was higher for SFT (p <= 0.01). The application of the bio-fertilizer increased the P content compared to the control. At 90 d P (Bray-2) increased with the SFT treatment, which also increased (p P in the soil at 60 and 90 d regardless of the presence of microorganism-enriched bio-fertilizer. The use of filter cake enriched with microorganisms associated with different sources of P, and applied to the soil with a high content of P, did not change the soil populations of total and solubilizing bacteria and fungi in the short term. TSP promoted the highest levels of P in the soil, irrespective of the presence of the organic compound enriched with P solubilizing microorganisms.

Avaliação nutricional e conformidade da rotulagem de “petiscos” consumidos por crianças à legislação brasileira

Label is every and any information regarding to a product that is transcribed in its package. For the consumer it is through the nutritional information tables contained in the labels that there is access to data such as quantity and percentage of nutrients contained in foods. Through this knowledge, it is possible to make healthier food choices, minimizing the negative effects related to poor nutrition in the population, especially among children, the most critical rate of obesity incidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the appropriateness of the labels of some foods consumed by children in relation to the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) and verify that the general aspects of the labels were in accordance with Brazilian regulations. Five products were selected like snacks, corn snacks, snacks, peanut, peanuts, potato snacks and biscuit recipes. The labels of different brands of each snack were analyzed using the Checklist of Labelling, which is based on RDC No. 259 and RDC No. 360. The nutritional adequacy of nutrients from these foods (carbohydrates, protein, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, dietary fiber and sodium) was evaluated in relation to that recommended by the RDA for children 4-8 years old. There was small percentage of mistakes in the labels of the analyzed foods, about 12%, being the presence of words that induce the consumers to the misunderstanding the irregularity with larger predominance, present in 25% of the labels. Other items in disagreement were the incomplete specification of the addictive ones alimentary in the list of ingredients and the absence of instructions about the conservation of the foods after opening the packings, both with percentile of occurrence of 18,75%. The high sodium content found in the nutritional information of food shows that should reduce the consumption of these products among children.
