The research was carried out with intercropped cultivation of garlic and beet, in Caçador, SC, Brazil. Four seeding epochs for beet (0, 15, 30 and 45 days after garlic planting) and three management systems for weeds (with herbicides, without control and with frequent weeding) were tested. It was hoped to determine the effects of this intercropping, in time and space, seeking the benefits in .weed control, efficient land use, productivity, commercial quality, and profitability. The randomized block design was in split-plots. The epochs represented the plots, and the management, the subplots, with four replicates. Napromide at 750 g/ha did not cause symptoms of intoxication in the garlic plants, nor in the beet. All the treatments in epochs at the initiation of intercropping, in three management systems for weeds, presented efficient land use values greater than 1. The profitability of the intercropping of garlic and beet only became evident in the management involving frequent weeding; in all epochs, profits were greater than for the respective epochs of monoculture of beet and monoculture of garlic.

Nas regiões de clima tropical, o monocultivo da banana vem causando conseqüências ambientais desastrosas e, muitas vezes, impedindo uma exploração continuada de uma mesma área. A redução do rendimento é devido principalmente as limitações físico-químicas do solo e a rápida degradação do sistema radicular, agravada pela ação de parasitas do solo (nematóides, fungos, etc.). Em virtude destas limitações, várias iniciativas vem sendo buscadas para a minimização das perdas agronômicas e ambientais, destacando-se o melhoramento e a modificação genética, e a associação deste cultivo com espécies leguminosas. Porém uma das grandes dificuldades de avaliarmos os novos sistemas de cultivo alternativos concentra-se na falta de referenciais agronômicos relacionados principalmente com o funcionamento de sistemas de cultivos associados, especialmente relacionados aos fatores e condições que interferem diretamente na definição do rendimento da espécie principal. O presente estudo testou , em campo experimental, o uso de plantas de serviço associada a bananeira e seus efeitos na produção de biomassa durante seu o ciclo vegetativo. Isto porque é durante esta fase que a bananeira constrói sua capacidade de reservas de fotoassimilados e, consequentemente, define o potencial de produção e enchimento dos frutos. Além do monocultivo, definiu-se mais duas parcelas associadas com o feijão-de- porco: 1) o plantio simultâneo das duas espécies e; 2) o plantio de feijão-de-porco e, após 2 meses, a introdução da banana. Além de acompanhamento semanal das parcelas, realizou-se, bimensalmente, coletas destrutivas de dados sobre produção de matéria seca, superfície foliar e análise nutricional das plantas. Após a análise agronômica da fase vegetativa, aplicou-se a modelização dos sistemas de cultivo estudados e comparou-se os possíveis cenários sobre o rendimento final da bananeira, além de outros indicadores sobre os fatores de crescimento das plantas. Após o acompanhamento dos 7 primeiros meses do ciclo vegetativo, concluiu-se que a data de estabelecimento da associação foi determinante para o sucesso do cultivo associado. Podemos destacar que a associação entre a bananeira e o feijão-de-porco não causou limitações na produção de biomassa (4,2 ton/ha), quando comparada com o monocultivo (4,5 ton/ha). A redução do número de capinas também foi um indicador animador deste sistema de cultivo alternativo. Por outro lado, quando a bananeira foi plantada 60 dias após a leguminosa, a mesma representou uma séria limitação na produção de biomassa (2,7 ton/ha). Esta limitação deveu-se ao estado de forte competição devido a agressividade com que o feijão-de-porco recobria toda a parcela e alcançando uma altura (74 cm) superior que a muda de banana (29 cm). Em relação a primeira parte da metodologia aplicada - o diagnóstico agronômico -, a mesma foi eficiente para a avaliação do ciclo vegetativo da associação estudada, ficando a necessidade da continuidade do acompanhamento do ciclo reprodutivo, para a confirmação dos resultados em termos de formação e produção de frutos. Na fase de modelização, chegou-se a uma leitura dos resultados próxima dos resultados obtidos no campo. Em termos de rendimento em frutos, o monocultivo com adubação (400 kg/ha de nitrogênio) e irrigação (133 mm) teve um aumento na ordem de 50% no rendimento final (28 ton/ha) Quando comparada com a parcela nas condições reais do experimento (19,6 ton/ha). Já o rendimento em frutos da associação, apresentou o mesmo resultado com e sem adubação e irrigação (16 ton/ha). No tocante a contrução dos cenários, confirmou-se novamente algumas das vantagens da associação, principalmente na redução da adubação nitrogenada aplicada nos sistemas convencionais de cultivo. Finalmente, podemos imaginar a construção de várias formas de testar e otimizar o uso destes sistemas associados (cenários). Porém, confirma-se que a construção de novos referenciais agronômicos sobre sistemas de cultivo mais complexos (os cultivos associados) torna-se ainda muito necessário para a realização de avaliações mais precisas sobre estas alternativas. E, com estes novos referenciais técnicos, podemos imaginar, a médio e longo prazo, alguns dos benefícios das leguminosas sobre as propriedades físico-químicas do solo cultivado (cobertura viva, adubo verde, redução de adventícias, etc) e sobre a manutenção do rendimento dos cultivos (adubação verde).

This work was carried out using intercropped cultivation of garlic (Allium sativum) and carrot (Daucus carota) in Jaboticabal, SP - Brazil. Four seeding timings for carrot (0, 15, 30 and 45 days after garlic planting) and three weed management systems (herbicide, frequent manual weed control and no weed control) were tested. The effects of this intercropped system on weed control, efficient land use and productivity were determined. The experimental design was a completely randomized block with split-plots and four replications, with carrot seeding timings being the plots and the weed management systems, the sub-plots. The herbicide oxadiazon at 750 g ha-1 did not cause toxicity in the garlic, nor in the carrot plants. Regandress of the timing for the intercropping establishment the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) values were greater than one. Garlic-carrot intercropping profitability was greater than that of monocultures of garlic crop, mainly under weed management systems, using the herbicide oxadiazon and frequent manual weeding.

This work presents the objective of producing organic fertilizer from the waste generated at FCT/UNESP and its use in the growing sunflower. For this, there were collected wastes of pruning/weeding and organic waste from the canteen. It were made two types of treatments, one conventional and the other mechanized, using three mass ratios: ratio 1 (30% wastes of pruning/weeding (RP) + 70% organic waste (RC)), ratio 2 (50% RP + 50% RC) and ratio 3 (70% RP + 30% RC). The conventional system was done windrow with turning manual and the mechanized system was developed in reactors by injecting compressed air. The compounds produced were analyzed in terms of pH, organic matter, organic carbon, mineral residue, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which could be compared to the values stipulated by the Instrução Normativa n° 25 de 23/07/2009 do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento. The compounds produced were used on growing sunflowers in 14 different conditions for the systems manual and mechanized, totaling 26 treatments with the following proportions...

Small-scale village woodlots of less than 0.5ha are the preferred use of land for local farmers with extra land in the village of Isangati, a small community located in the southern highlands of Tanzania. Farmers view woodlots as lucrative investments that do not involve intensive labor or time. The climate is ideal for the types of trees grown and the risks are minimal with no serious threats from insects, fires, thieves, or grazing livestock. It was hypothesized that small-scale village woodlot owners were not maximizing timber outputs with their current timber stand management and harvesting techniques. Personal interviews were conducted over a five month period and field data was collected at each farmer’s woodlots over a seven month period. Woodlot field data included woodlot size, number of trees, tree species, tree height, dbh, age, and spacing. The results indicated that the lack of proper woodlot management techniques results in failure to fully capitalize on the investment of woodlots. While farmers should continue with their current harvesting rotations, some of the reasons for not maximizing tree growth include close spacing (2m x 2m), no tree thinning, extreme pruning (60% of tree), and little to no weeding. Through education and hands-on woodlot management workshops, the farmers could increase their timber output and value of woodlots.

The importance of competition between similar species in driving community assembly is much debated. Recently, phylogenetic patterns in species composition have been investigated to help resolve this question: phylogenetic clustering is taken to imply environmental filtering, and phylogenetic overdispersion to indicate limiting similarity between species. We used experimental plant communities with random species compositions and initially even abundance distributions to examine the development of phylogenetic pattern in species abundance distributions. Where composition was held constant by weeding, abundance distributions became overdispersed through time, but only in communities that contained distantly related clades, some with several species (i.e., a mix of closely and distantly related species). Phylogenetic pattern in composition therefore constrained the development of overdispersed abundance distributions, and this might indicate limiting similarity between close relatives and facilitation/complementarity between distant relatives. Comparing the phylogenetic patterns in these communities with those expected from the monoculture abundances of the constituent species revealed that interspecific competition caused the phylogenetic patterns. Opening experimental communities to colonization by all species in the species pool led to convergence in phylogenetic diversity. At convergence, communities were composed of several distantly related but species-rich clades and had overdispersed abundance distributions. This suggests that limiting similarity processes determine which species dominate a community but not which species occur in a community. Crucially, as our study was carried out in experimental communities, we could rule out local evolutionary or dispersal explanations for the patterns and identify ecological processes as the driving force, underlining the advantages of studying these processes in experimental communities. Our results show that phylogenetic relations between species provide a good guide to understanding community structure and add a new perspective to the evidence that niche complementarity is critical in driving community assembly.
