Gestão ambiental aplicada a prevenção, controle e recuperação de erosão linear acelerada no município de Ipeúna-SP

The erosion is a natural process of detachment, transport and deposition of soil and rock particles from one place to another. Human activities with no previous planning may accelerate this process, causing several damages to the environment and to society. In order to control the acceleration of these erosion processes caused by humans, prevention and improvement initiatives emerge. Regarding works which interfere directly in some of the natural resources, these initiatives must respect the intrinsic physical properties of the area of interest, if they aim to obtain effective results. Based on this scenario, this work proposes a few methods of accelerated linear erosion prevention, control and recovery in a specific area of the municipal district of Ipeúna (SP). For that matter, this study is based on a method of physiographic compartmentalization of the area, considering and integrating soil, relief, geology and the use and land cover properties of the study area. Plus, a flowchart with general orientations regarding management of eroded areas was produced, focused on the control and recovery of linear erosion. The result demonstrates the importance of careful erosion control, respecting the physical properties of each physiographic unit. The vegetative and mechanical conservationists methods, and the discipline of water flow, have found wide applicability in the study area.

Auto-ecologia de Geonoma gamiova Barb. Rodr. (Arecaceae) em mata ombrófila densa montana (Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho, SP)

Geonoma é um dos mais complexos gêneros de palmeiras neotropicais e possui aproximadamente 80 espécies distribuídas nos Neotrópicos. Espécies desse gênero apresentam pequeno a médio porte e são típicas de sub-bosque de florestas em áreas com grande pluviosidade. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a auto-ecologia de Geonoma gamiova em duas escalas espaciais, relacionando sua estrutura populacional entre hábitats (fundo de vale x encosta) e microsítios (local de ocorrência clonal). O trabalho foi realizado no núcleo São Miguel Arcanjo do Parque Estadual Carlos Botelho que possui uma área de 37.794 ha e uma amplitude altitudinal de 50 a 975 metros. A área apresenta relevo de montanhas com vales profundos e morros paralelos e a vegetação presente no Parque é a Floresta Ombrófila Densa. Foram distribuídas 30 parcelas de 5 x 20m em três trilhas no Parque, onde foram quantificados os indivíduos de Geonoma gamiova em três estágios de desenvolvimento e foi caracterizado o hábitat. Foram marcados 42 indivíduos de Geonoma gamiova para avaliar o crescimento vegetativo e sua ecologia reprodutiva, avaliando-se também a estrutura dos microsítios em que esses indivíduos se encontravam. Os indivíduos apresentaram uma distribuição de tamanho populacional em forma de J invertido. Geonoma gamiova foi a segunda palmeira mais abundante na área estudada. O tamanho das moitas foi maior no fundo de vale, porém, os parâmetros mensurados para verificar a estrutura de comunidade, assim como a abundância dos indivíduos de G. gamiova não apresentaram diferença significativa (p > 0,05) entre os hábitats. Não houve nenhuma correlação significativa (p > 0,05) entre o número de estipes por moita e as variáveis microclimáticas e edáficas mensuradas. O crescimento dos estipes, avaliado pelo aumento do número de nós, apresentou diferença significativa, sendo maior.... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Tratamentos pré-germinativos e substratos na emergência de sementes e qualidade de mudas de pinhão manso (Jatropha curcas L.)

The physic nut can be propagated asexually or sexually. Using cuttings have been earlier yield and more fidelity characteristics of the parent plant. However, there is less initial vegetative growth. The seeds from the plants have increased genetic variability, are more vigorous and begin production later. To get quality changes, the substrate is an important factor. With that the objective was to taste pre-germinated treatments and different substrate on seeds emergence and quality physic nut seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized, in factorial scheme 6 x 3 (pre-germinated treatments x substrate), 18 treatments and 4 repetition, 8 seeds to each repetition. It was evaluated six pre-germination treatments: T1: witness (without treatments); T2: water immersion for 12 hours; T3: water immersion for 24 hours; T4: mechanical scarification; T5: mechanical scarification + water immersion for 12 hours; T6: mechanical scarification + water immersion for 24 hours, using as substrate: commercial, expanded vermiculite and sand washed. The mechanical scarification was realized opposite the micropyle using sandpaper n. 60. After the pre-germination treatments, the seeds were emergence in plastic cups (200mL) with substrates. We evaluated the characteristics: percentage, beginning and emergence speed index, mean length of plant, diameter of plant stem, SPAD index, fresh and dry shoot and root. The results showed that in seeds of Jatropha do not need pre-germinative treatments; and the use of commercial substrate showed seedling development.

Resíduos agrícolas e argila expandida no cultivo da orquídea Oncidium baueri Lindl.

For orchid cultivation in containers is essential to select the right substrate, since this will influence the quality of the final product, it serve as a support for the root system of the plants. This study aimed to evaluate different agricultural residues and expanded clay in Oncidium baueri Lindl. orchid cultivation. The plants were subjected to treatments: pinus husk + carbonized rice husk, pinus husk + coffee husk, pinus husk + fibered coconut, pecan nut husk, expanded clay, fibered coconut, coffee husk, carbonized rice husk, pinus husk. After eleven months of the experiment, the following variables were evaluated: plant height; largest pseudo-bulb diameter; number of buds; shoot fresh dry matter; the longest root length; number of roots; root fresh matter; root dry matter; and electric conductivity; pH and water retention capacity of the substrates. Except the expanded clay, the other substrates showed satisfactory results in one or more traits. Standing out among these substrates pinus husk + coffee husk and pine bark + fibered coconut, which favored the most vegetative and root characteristic of the orchid. The mixture of pinus husk + coffee husk and pinus husk + fibered coconut, provided the best results in vegetative and root growth of the orchid Oncidium baueri and the expanded clay did not show favorable results in the cultivation of this species.

Morphogenic parameters and productivity of grass-Pioneer subjected to nitrogen

Objective of this work by evaluating the effect of nitrogen on forage yield and morphogenesis of elephant grass cv. Pioneer. The experimental design was randomized blocks with five replications, totaling 20 experimental units. Treatments consisted of four nitrogen levels (100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha(-1) yr(-1)). The experiment was conducted under irrigated conditions. Evaluative cuts were made at 50 cm soil with values of light interception (95%) without pre-defined intervals. It was observed that N fertilization increased significantly (P<0.05) the production of dry matter per hectare, leaf appearance rate (leaves days(-1)tiller(-1)), leaf elongation rate (cm tiller(-1) day(-1)) and stem elongation rate (cm day(-1)). The process of this forage senescence is accelerated with increasing doses of nitrogen and leaf appearance rate, thereby reducing the phyllochron. It required a study on the economic viability of higher doses of nitrogen in grazed elephant grass cv. Pioneer.

Herbicidas inibidores da ACCase em plantas de Cenchrus echinatus em estresse hídrico

This project aimed to relate the efficiency of control of ACCase inhibiting herbicides applied post-emergence in Cenchrus echinatus under different soil water contents. The experiments were conducted in a greenhouse, with the application of three different herbicides (fluazifop-p-butyl, haloxyfop-methyl and sethoxydim + oil Assist) and the experimental design for each herbicide was completely randomized design with four replications, consisting a 3 x 4 factorial, with the combination of water management strategies (-0.03, -0.07 and -1.5 MPa) and four doses of these products (100, 50, 25 and 0% of the recommended dose). Herbicide application was made at vegetative stage of 2-3 tillers. The water management strategies were initiated in the development stage of two leaves, replacing the water until the soil reaches the potential of -0.01 MPa, when it came to severe pre-determined for each water management. The physiological parameters evaluated were: photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration, leaf temperature and plant dry matter. The visual assessments of phytotoxicity were performed at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after application. The efficiency of these herbicides was influenced by soil management and water lowest in plants grown in the minimal potential of water in the soil of -1.5 MPa. All the herbicides were unsatisfactory controls in applications late (2-3 tiller plants).

Influence of soil water potential in the action of herbicides on goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L) Gaertn)

Currently, the use of herbicides is essential in a practical and common in agricultural areas, but efficiency of these herbicides can be compromised when applied on plants that thrive in water deficit conditions, due to low uptake and translocation of the product. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of control ACCase inhibiting herbicides applied post-emergence in plants of Eleusine indica under different soil water contents. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse and the experimental design was completely randomized design with four replications, consisting of a 9x4 factorial, with the combination of three soil water potentials (-0.03, -0.07 and -1.5 MPa) three herbicides (fluazifop-p -butyl, haloxyfop-methyl and sethoxydim + oil) and four doses (0, 25, 50, and 100 % of the recommended dose). Herbicide application was made in plants in vegetative stage 2-3 tillers. The soil water potential was initiated in the development stage of two leaves, and the water was supplemented until the soil reaches the potential of -0.01 MPa, when it came to minimum pre-determined for each water management. The physiological parameters evaluated were: photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration leaf temperature and plant dry mass. The visual assessments of phytotoxicity were performed at 7 and 14 days after application. The herbicides behaved in different ways according to the used water management. In severe water stress conditions (soil moisture at 8%) only fluazifop-p-butyl herbicide achieved satisfactory control (> 90%) in E. indica plants.
