The guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Paluma has been cultivated in São Francisco Valley, Northeastern of Brazil, for in natura consumption and processing purposes. In spite of its importance, there are few scientific knowledge regarding guava physiology, nutrition, irrigation and fertigation. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of weather conditions and different concentrations of N and K applied by fertigation in foliar contents of reducing sugars, total soluble sugars, starch, sucrose, amino acids, and proteins. The field experiment was carried out at Bebedouro Experimental Field and the biochemical evaluations at the Laboratory of Seed and Plant Physiology, both located at Embrapa Semi-Árido, Petrolina-PE. The doses of 200 g N and 100 g K2O; 400 g N and 200 g K2O; 600 g N and 300 g K2O; and 800 g N and 400 g K2O per plant were applied in an experiment field. The experimental design was totally randomized blocks, with four treatments and five blocks. The weather conditions influenced the plant photosynthesis, which affects the plants metabolism. Guava presented specific responses to N and K fertigation for each parameter evaluated. The weather conditions during the evaluation period influenced guava responses to N and K fertigation.

In perennial crops, fertilizers are applied to restore the amount of nutrient removed from the plant by harvesting. Nevertheless, the immobilized nutrient inside the whole plant should be considered. Based on it, the nutrient concentrations in the guava leaf and fruit and the nutrient contents removed by fruits and post-harvest pruning were evaluated in an irrigated orchard, in Petrolina, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. The greatest contents removed by fruits were N and K among the macronutrients, while Fe, Zn and Mn presented higher levels among the micronutrients. More than 60% of the total content of N, P, K, Mg, Fe, and B removed by pruning were immobilized in the leaf and non-marketable fruit.

Yield and physical and chemical characteristics of 'Paluma' guava fruit were evaluated as a function of the harvest at different maturity stages, under influence of nitrogen and potassium fertilization, in Petrolina, State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Fertilizer rates were 67 kg N + 33 kg K2O, 133 kg N + 67 kg K2O, 200 kg N + 100 kg K2O and 267 kg N + 133 kg K2O per hectare. Fruits were evaluated at maturity stages 2, 3, 4 and 5, established according to peel color. Higher doses of N and K induced higher yields. Nevertheless, fertilization with 200 kg of N + 100 kg of K per hectare improved fruit quality, delaying ascorbic acid breakdown and conserving pulp firmness. Main changes took place at maturity stages 4 and 5, when the fruit should present ideal conditions for consumption, namely the increase on soluble solids and soluble sugars content.

Surface sediments from the River São Francisco were analyzed to investigate the impact, due to the presence of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) in wastes from a metallurgical industry in the city of Três Marias/MG, Brazil. The concentrations and geochemical associations of Pb, Zn and trace metals associated with the minerals employed in zinc production were measured. Sediments close to discharge locations were highly contaminated with Pb (332-512 μg g-1) and Zn (7872-10780 μg g-1), with values decreasing rapidly due to dilution and hydraulic sorting. Evaluation of toxicity according to the Consensus-based Sediment Quality Guidelines indicated for Cd, Pb and Zn a high probability of adverse effects on aquatic biota at these sites.

This study aimed to apply mathematical models to the growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared in net cages in the lower São Francisco basin and choose the model(s) that best represents the conditions of rearing for the region. Nonlinear models of Brody, Bertalanffy, Logistic, Gompertz, and Richards were tested. The models were adjusted to the series of weight for age according to the methods of Gauss, Newton, Gradiente and Marquardt. It was used the procedure "NLIN" of the System SAS® (2003) to obtain estimates of the parameters from the available data. The best adjustment of the data were performed by the Bertalanffy, Gompertz and Logistic models which are equivalent to explain the growth of the animals up to 270 days of rearing. From the commercial point of view, it is recommended that commercialization of tilapia from at least 600 g, which is estimated in the Bertalanffy, Gompertz and Logistic models for creating over 183, 181 and 184 days, and up to 1 Kg of mass , it is suggested the suspension of the rearing up to 244, 244 and 243 days, respectively.

OBJETIVO: avaliar a associação entre a exposição dos genitores aos agrotóxicos e nascimentos com defeitos congênitos no Vale do São Francisco, bem como o perfil sociodemográfico e os defeitos encontrados. MÉTODOS: estudo tipo caso-controle, sendo que para cada caso (recém-nascido com defeito congênito), eram dois controles (recém-nascidos saudáveis) nascidos na cidade de Petrolina, no Vale do São Francisco, em 2009. A amostra constou de 42 casos e 84 controles. Os dados formam colhidos com uso de questionário estruturado, adaptado do Estudo Colaborativo Latino-Americano de Malformações Congênitas (ECLAMC), acrescido de questões relacionadas à exposição aos agrotóxicos, análise do prontuário e contato com a pediatra do hospital. Foi realizado o teste do χ2 com nível de significância de 5% para identificar as variáveis com maiores diferenças entre os grupos caso e controle. Em seguida, foi calculado o Odds Ratio (OR) amostral, bem como o OR obtido por análise de regressão logística e, finalmente, realizou-se uma análise de regressão logística multivariada. RESULTADOS: houve maior exposição aos agrotóxicos durante a gestação em neonatos com defeitos congênitos se comparados aos saudáveis. Maior risco foi observado quando pelo menos um dos genitores foi exposto aos agrotóxicos (OR ajustado = 1,3; IC95% = 0,4-3,9). As variáveis sociodemográficas associadas aos defeitos congênitos foram: baixa escolaridade, baixo peso, prematuridade, genitores jovens, doenças crônicas e fatores físicos. Foram encontrados com maior frequência os polimalformados e os defeitos dos sistemas musculoesquelético e nervoso. CONCLUSÃO: o presente estudo, a despeito de não apresentar significância, sugere associação entre a exposição aos agrotóxicos e a ocorrência de defeitos congênitos.
