Nitrogen and potassium fertilization on the yield and intensity of the maize white spot

A plant’s nutritional balance can influence its resistance to diseases. In order to evaluate the effect of increasing doses of N and K on the yield and severity of the maize white spot, two experiments were installed in the field, one in the city of Ijaci, Minas Gerais, and the other in the city of Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. The experimental delimitation was in randomized blocks with 5 x 5 factorial analysis of variance, and four repetitions. The treatments consisted of five doses of N (20; 40; 80; 150; 190 Kg ha-1 of N in the experiments 1 and 2) and five doses of K (15; 30; 60; 120; 180 Kg ha-1 of K in experiment 1 and 8.75; 17.5; 35; 50; 100 Kg ha-1 of K in experiment 2). The susceptible cultivar 30P70 was planted in both experiments. The plot consisted of four rows 5 meters long, with a useful area consisting of two central rows 3 meters each. Evaluations began 43 days after emergence (DAE) in the first experiment and 56 DAE in the second one. There was no significant interaction between doses of N and K and the disease progress. The effect was only observed for N. The K did not influence the yield and the severity of the disease in these experiments. Bigger areas below the severity progress curve of the white spot and better yield were observed with increasing doses of N. Thus, with increasing doses of N, the white spot increased and also did the yield.

Caracterização, gênese e uso de latossolos sob cerrado no município de Rio Paranaíba - MG

The main objective of this research was to study the morphological, physical, chemical, mineralogical and geomorphic characteristics of two soil types in the Rio Paranaíba área of Minas Gerais. Using descriptions based on current methods, the soil profile study was carried out in two trenches both two meters in depth. The landscape of this region consists of an extensive, flat plain where the Red Yellow Latosol is found. In addition, the Dusky Red Latosol is distributed on slopes between the basin of Parana-São Francisco and the plateau. Chemical analysis show that the Red Yellow Latosol presents an extremely low natural fertility and the high amounts of gibbsite indicates a highly advanced degree of weathering for this soil. Mecanization is difficult in the Dusky Red Latosol due to the steep relief. Thus, Dusky Red Latosol could be put to better use as land for pastures and perennial crops taking the necessary care to prevent erosion. The soils were classified respectively as Typic Acrustox and Acrustox according to the Soil Survey Staff (67) and were categorized as Dystrophic Red Yellow Latosol of a clayish texture, flat relief, with clayish substratum sediments and Dystrophic Dusky Red Latosol, of clayish texture, high relief, undulant substratum, with and volcanic tuffs in agreement with the criteria proposed by Bennema and Camargo (11) for the Brasilian Classification.

The impact of climate change on the water sector in the Caribbean

This study econometrically analyses the projected impact of climate change on the water sector of nine Caribbean countries to 2100: Aruba, Barbados, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Montserrat, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago. Overall, all countries, with the exception of Trinidad and Tobago, are expected to suffer aggregate losses as result of climate change in the early periods ca. 2020 under one or more scenarios. Over time, some countries experience declining negative impacts, as in the case of Guyana under the B2 scenario. Some countries, such as the Dominican Republic, is projected to suffer increasing losses under the B2 scenario and, for others, the impacts do not follow a defined trend. The A2 scenario offers the best outcome for all countries, except Jamaica (where BAU is most desirable), Montserrat (which performs most poorly under the A2 scenario), and the Netherlands Antilles, which does best under the B2 case. Overall, relative to 2006, the total demand for water in the Caribbean is expected to fall by 2030 by 11.3% to approximately 12,967 million cubic meters. This is due to the expected fall in agricultural water demand by approximately 36% in that period. However, by 2050, total water demand for the Caribbean will again exceed the 2006 level by approximately 4% to 14,896.33 106 m3. By 2100, water demand will increase almost fivefold to approximately 69,233.69 106 m3. Climate change is expected to affect all countries in the Caribbean. In some cases, there will be positive impacts that may continue to increase over time and, in other cases, the impact will be negative and worsen over time. Overall, the agricultural sector is expected to suffer the worst losses over any scenario, whilst growth in the industrial sectors is expected to be significant and contribute the most to increasing water demand over time.
