Agrobiodivesificacion de playas y barreales y su función en la economia familiar ribereña de la Amazônia Peruana

La agrobiodiversidad presente en playas y barreales de la Amazonía Peruana fue estudiada en Muyuy, sector ubicado a tres horas de la ciudad de Iquitos, capital de La Región Loreto. El objetivo de trabajo fue orientado a medir la agrobiodiversidad en estos ambientes dinámicos y su contribución en la economía familiar ribereña. Primeramente, vemos que la actividad agrícola practicada en playas y barreales se da a través de un rol de producción con cultivos de corto periodo vegetativo (arroz, caupí, maní, etc.); esto para disminuir el riesgo provocado por los repiquetes o el nuevo ciclo anual de inundación. Datos levantados en las campañas agrícolas de 1999 y 2004, permiten identificar el establecimiento de 9 y 2 cultivos respectivamente, esta variación se debe al diferente comportamiento de inundación; variación que a la vez influencia la formación de diferentes ambientes como playas y barreales: altos, medios, y bajos. A continuación, vemos que el ambiente de barreal óptimo para la producción de arroz, fue promocionado con créditos agrícolas - 2004; esto implicó consecuentemente la incursión de variedades certificadas o tardías (Inti, Ecoarroz, Jar, Capirona, y Amor 107), sensibles a una inundabilidad rápida como la sucedida en la campaña agrícola 2004. Los resultados muestran que las comunidades SPC, ODN, TPZ, CON y DDM beneficiadas con los créditos y afectadas por la inundabilidad, consiguieron rescatar hasta un 10% de la producción esperada del arroz; aquí, también se encuentran casos de agricultores de las comunidades DDM y MAZ empleando variedades precoces no promocionadas como el Milagrito, consiguiendo rescatar de 50 a 60 % de la producción. Los agricultores que establecieron caupí en playas consiguieron aprovechar aproximadamente 10% de la producción esperada. La inundación que afectó los cultivos cerca al periodo de cosecha creó ambientes propicios para la alimentación y protección de algunas especies de peces y tortugas, esto a la vez aumentó los factores o recursos de aprovechamiento para los agricultores; aquí, se ejecutó la labor de pesca tanto para el consumo general y la comercialización por parte de algunos casos encontrados en las comunidades estudiadas, el más representativo como la familia 11 muestra que a partir de esta labor de pesca consiguió el 2.9% de recuperación en base al cálculo rentable de los cultivos establecidos; y de la captura de tortugas el 3.1%. Se concluye que los cultivos perdidos por inundabilidad pueden ser recuperados en porcentajes más significativos, si se usara manejos adecuados sin alterar los ambientes de producción como ocurre con la aplicación de agroquímicos.

Avaliação do desempenho ambiental da produção canavieira com colheita mecanizada: contribuição à implantação de um sistema simplificado de gestão ambiental da propriedade

The consuming of the natural resources in the agricultural sector does not represent only one external factor of the productive process, but also it implies in a bigger cost for the production, justified for this environmental degradation. In view of the necessity of evaluating the sustainment of the agricultural businesses, the use of performance indicators if makes of extreme importance. The measurement of the support through environmentalindicators is one of the most accepted forms of performing the evaluation of one given agricultural activity. In this context, the Base System for Eco-certification of Agricultural Businesses (Eco-cert Rural) developed by the Embrapa Environment at Jaguariúna/SP, has for purpose to present a method of evaluation of the agricultural businesses, not only of the point of view of the ecological performance, as well as considering the social, economic and organizational aspects. Through the analysis of the performance of the activity and the regularization of the disconformities found, it makes possible the eco-certification of the activities in the varied existing protocols, offering technologies designed to the sustainable development of the agricultural businesses. Using Eco-cert.Rural, this work evaluated the contribution of the use of mechanized harvest in sugar cane handling, front to the traditional system of manual harvest, using the fire. In the Sugar Cane Activity General Performance Index, Agrícola Rio Claro scored 2,08 of a maximum of 15. Amongst all the indicators, those wich reached performance worse had been related to the Use of Energy and the Income, by increasing fossil fuel consumptiom, and implying income concentration due to resignations of rural workers. However, the improvements on the environment quality by supressing manual harvest through fire are very significant. Beyond the great reduction in...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Agricultura familiar em Rio Claro - SP: em busca de alternativas para permanência no campo

As we focusing in the Brazilian rural area we see that it presents the spatial diversity and the different organization forms of the space arising from its diversity, tied to the different economic, social, politic and cultural contexts .These contextual diversities bring results that is not limited to the agrarian sector, but get beyond the border of the rural world, taking different ways of organization and structuring in the urban areas. The building and management of the rural spaces are constituted as an attribute of the agricultural production that in the course of the centuries made disappear and reduce significant proportions from the natural areas. In many places, the intensification of the production process gives satisfaction to the globalized markets and that return allows the reproduction of the productive conditions. In other areas the access difficulties to the market and the proximity to the developed urban centers cause the abandonment of the agricultural activity and the maintenance of property without production or with specific services (tourism, for example). That process triggers a multiplicity of factors that are defining the pace of the rural areas in Brazil. This work sought to understand all the deals of the ‘’rural’’ county of Rio Claro-SP and what’s the role and the situation that we find the familiar agriculture in the advanced urban areas, which is the case of this study. Where the agriculture doesn’t represent the flagship of the economy. It was the intention, identify what activities and practices socio-spatial are developed in the county rural area. Trying to understand the public politics acts in the promotion and encouragement to the already developed activities or even other activities that can represent the possibility of a social and territorial reproduction of the families on the country

Validação e aplicação de método para análise de pesticidas em água para consumo humano de dourados (ms) por CLAE/UV e CG/DTE

Indiscriminate and inappropriate use of pesticides in agriculture has been pointed out for increasing health problems and environmental damage. Considering that water resources are the principal destiny of those compounds after application, the present study presents optimization and validation of two simple and effi cient analytical methods for pesticides quantifi cation in both surface and groundwater. Were selected the pesticides more commonly used at Dourados (MS - Brazil), region with intense agricultural activity. Pesticides were preconcentrated by solid-phase extraction using C18 (500 mg) cartridges and then divided in two groups for elution and quantifi cation: 2.4-D and 2.4-DCP were eluted with methanol and quantifi ed by high performance liquid chromatography with ultra-violet detector (HPLC-UV) while atrazine, DIA, DEA, trifl uralin and methyl parathion were eluted with ethylacetate (1:1, v/v) and quantifi ed by gas chromatography with thermionic specifi c detector (GC-TSD). The methods showed satisfactory accuracy (76-107%) and precision (<12%) for the substances analyzed at the fortifi ed levels selected for the study, except for DIA (<51%). Study of pesticide stability also presented good results: C18 cartridges could be stored for at least for 21 days at -20ºC with no signs of the compounds degradability. Both methods limits of quantifi cation of the pesticides (0.22 - 0.48 μg L-1) are in accordance to the levels currently established by the Brazilian national legislation for pesticides in water. Although only the pesticide 2.4-D has been detected in two distinct collection points in the study period of time, this work warns for the requirement of systematical analysis of pesticides presence in water destined to human consume, principally in areas of intense agriculture activity. Such monitoring can provide subsidies for public environmental policies.

Change detection as support for monitoring the dynamic of land around reservoir

The change detection technique was used in this study to provide preliminary information on the dynamics of land cover in the region over the western basin of the Tiete River. This area is characterized by sequence of reservoirs and intense agricultural activity, triggering series negative effects. One of the impacts is contamination and proliferation of aquatic organisms in these aquatics environments, increased by release of nutrients from human activities. This work was possible to observe a large switching classes and secondary vegetation bare land, probably related to agricultural activity.
