Dinâmica do potássio no solo e nutrição potássica da soja

Potassium deficiency in soybeans has spread iii São Paulo State, Brazil, as a consequence of soil K reserve depletion. Exchangeable and nonexchangeable K dynamics in soil were investigated in order to understand the reserve exaustion and its significance to soybean nutrition. Soybean was grown in 8 1 pots with five soils differing in K and clay contents, in presence or absence of K fertilization. Soil samples were taken at 20 days interval and soybean was harvest at R6. Exchangeable (H2SO4 0,05 N) and nonexchangeable K (boiling HNO3) were estimated in soil sample. Two of the soils were very poor in exchangeable K, and even so there was no response in dry matter due to K fertilization. In spite of some differences in K contents in some of the soybeans parts, generally K absorption was not affected by K fertilization, except in grains. Potassium acumulation in soybean plants were affected by soils, but the response was not closely related to exchangeable K in soil. The main K source to the plants was the HNO3 extrated K, showing that this form is not at all nonexchangeable. After the period of maximum plant demand there was a sharp increase in extractable K in soil showing a tendency to a natural equilibrium.

Manganês no solo, sua avaliação e toxidez de manganês em soja

Two experiments were carried out in pots with a Dusky Latossol showing a 15% base saturation. In the first experiment dolomitic limestone was applied to reach 45, 60, 75 and 90% of base saturation. In the second, MnSO4 was applied in rates of 30, 60, 90 and 120 ppm,and base saturation was raised to 70%.Soybean plants cv. IAC-9 were grown up to R6, when dry matter production and manganese accumulation were evaluated. Soybean responded to liming up to 60% base saturation, as Mn availability and evantualy Mn absorption were decreased to non-toxic levels. Mn applied to a reclamed soil up to 120 ppm was not enough to cause toxicity to soybean cv IAC-9. All of the chemical extractors (Ammonium Acetate, DTA, Mehlich and H2SO4) showed modification in Mn availabity in soil but were not definitely related to Mn absorption and dry matter production.

Avaliação das Sub-Frações dos Carboidratos e das Proteínas, Usando as Metodologias do Cncps e In situ com Bovinos da Raça Nelore. 2. Milho e Farelo de Algodão

The chemical composition of corn and cottonseed meal was determined in accordance with the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) in diets with forage:concentrate ratios of 80:20 (D1) and 60:40(D2) using Nellore cattle. The potential and effective degradabilities of the carbohydrate and protein subfractions were also determined. For corn. diet 2 resulted in an increase for potentially degradable dry matter (DM). An increase was observed in the effective degradation of DM (EDDM) when lag time was not considered, however, the use of Eng time increased the EDDM for both diets, 23 and 18% for DI and D2. respectively. For cottonseed meal, diet 2 determined a reduction in the potentially degradable DM: therefore, the use of lag time increased the EDDM for bath diets, 14% for D1 and 15% for D2. The availability of corn starch (fraction B1) was lower than that determined by CNCPS. The higher values for the degradability of corn and cottonseed meal protein subfractions may indicate an underestimation by the model, and, or, could be attributed to the Zebu animals used in this study.

Características químicas do resíduo do leite de soja obtido a partir do farelo e da farinha do grão integral de soja

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar os efeitos de diferentes tempos de processamento (duas, quatro e seis horas) e temperaturas (50°C, 65°C e 80°C) em dois substratos: farinha do grão integral de soja e farelo de soja. Para obtenção do resíduo, utilizou-se uma máquina de aço inoxidável com termostato para controle de temperatura e agitador constante. O delineamento estatístico utilizado na análise dos dados foi inteiramente casualizado, segundo o esquema fatorial 3 x 3 x 2 com duas repetições. Concluiu-se que os tratamentos não apresentaram diferenças marcantes na composição química e mineral do resíduo. O teor de proteína no resíduo do farelo foi 3,5% superior ao teor do farelo que lhe deu origem, o contrário ocorreu com o resíduo da farinha que foi 9,8% inferior. O teor de extrato etéreo no resíduo da farinha, aproximou-se bastante do teor da farinha do grão integral (21,41%) e no resíduo do farelo foi ligeiramente inferior.

Deficiência de Mn em soja, induzida por adubação potássica e calagem

Tanto a toxidez como a deficiência de Mn em soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), levam a um prejuízo na produtividade. Tem-se recomendado a calagem para superar os graves problemas de toxidez de Mn em soja, mas existem condições potenciais para ocorrer indução de deficiências de micronutrientes, inclusive o Mn. Com o objetivo de explorar esta possibilidade, a cultivar de soja Cristalina foi plantada em vasos, contendo dois Latossolos Vermelho- Escuro de textura média, na presença ou ausência de adubação potássica (50 ug/cm3), e calagem. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a adubação potássica pode ter como consequência uma menor absorção de Mn pela soja, e quando associada à calagem (pH 6,5) pode levar à ocorrência de deficiência induzida de Mn, que se manifesta como clorose internerval nas folhas do terço superior da planta.

Influência da utilização da proteína texturizada de soja nas características sensoriais, químicas e funcionais e de processamento do fiambre de frango

This research was designed to study the effect of addition of 5, 10 e 15% of textured soy protein (TSP) on sensorial, chemical, and physical-chemical parameters of chicken loaf with ground meat. The sensorial properties were not affected by textured soy protein. The addition of textured soy protein in preparing chicken loaf increased the water absorption and holding capacity, and decreased the moisture and ether extract content, but did not increase the final product yield.

Adubação potássica da soja em latossolo vermelho-escuro fase arenosa

Durante três anos foi conduzido um experimento em Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro fase arenosa, no qual foram estudados os efeitos de adubações anuais com 0,40, 80, 160 e 240 kg/ha de K2O, nas formas de cloreto de potássio e sulfato de potássio, aplicados no sulco de semeadura ou em área total com incorporação. Observou-se resposta à adubação potássica a partir do segundo ano de cultivo. As máximas produções sempre estiveram associadas a teores de potássio nas folhas acima de 1,5%. Em anos mais secos que o normal, as aplicações a lanço proporcionaram melhores resultados do que as aplicações em sulcos. Não foram observadas diferenças entre as fontes de potássio utilizadas. Notou-se acentuado decréscimo nos teores de potássio trocável do solo, com o transcorrer do tempo, sendo necessária a aplicação de doses maiores que 80 kg/ha de K2O por ano para manter o nível original. Por outro lado, a aplicação de doses elevadas de potássio levou a uma perda significativa do nutriente por lixiviação.

Diferentes resposta de cutivares de soja e potássio

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is known to have a high ability as a potassium extractor, and different cultivars show different potassium requirements. An experiment was run to study the potassium nutrition of soybean as related to plant characteristics. Six soybean cultivars (FT-2, Bossier, IAC-11, IAC-17, IAC-18 and IAC-19) were grown in 6 kg pots filled with the topsoil of a Dark Red Latosol (sandy loam), either with and without K fertilization. The plants were harvested 70 days after emergence. Soybean response to potassium was not related to growth habit or group of maturation. There was a different response to K. The cultivars IAC-18 and FT-2 were less tolerant to K deficiency. Potassium deficiency in the leaves was not related to top dry matter production. With K fertilization soybean plants showed small root volume and higher ratio canopy/root. With high K in soil, all of the cultivars showed higher nodulation.

Condutividade elétrica na solução de embebição de sements de soja. I. Efeito do genótipo

During the period from October/92 to September/94 experiments were carried out at the Seed Laboratory, FCAV/UNESP, Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil, using soybean seeds of different genotypes in order to evaluate the effect of genotype on the electrical conductivity (bulk conductivity) of soaked seeds. Seed moisture content (105+/-3 degrees C, 24 h), standard germination (four 50-seed samples, paper towel, 30 degrees C), and vigor-accelerated aging (42 degrees C, 48 h) were first determined. Undamaged soybean seeds were soaked in deionized water (four 50-seed samples, 75 ml, 25 degrees C, 24 h) and electrical conductivity (mu mhos.cm(-1).g(-1)) was measured. Significant differences in conductivity were observed among genotypes having the same pattern of germination and vigor. The results have showed that electrical conductivity can be significantly influenced by genotype.

Épocas de semeadura da soja I. Efeitos na produção de grãos e nos componentes da produção

O presente trabalho foi realizado como objetivo de estudar os efeitos de épocas da semeadura na produção de grãos e nos componentes de produção de três cultivares de soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) de ciclos culturais distintos. Os experimentos foram desenvolvidos em campo, no município de Botucatu, Estado de São Paulo (latitude 22º 51 'S e longitude 48º 27'W.Grw.), em solo classificado como Terra Roxa Estruturada, durante os anos agrícolas de 1977/78, 1978/79 e 1979/80. As cultivares empregadas foram Paraná, Santa Rosa, UFV-1. As semeaduras, em número de seis, foram realizadas com intervalos, aproximadamente, quinzenais, com início de semeadura em outubro. Foram avaliados: a produção de sementes (kg/ha), número de vagens/planta, percentagem de vagens normais e peso de 100 sementes. As maiores produções de grãos, para as três cultivares, foram obtidas nas semeaduras realizadas na segunda quinzena de outubro e durante o mês de novembro. O número de vagens por planta e o peso de 100 grãos foram os componentes da produção que mais sofreram efeitos das épocas de semeadura.

Avaliação do óleo de soja submetido ao processo de fritura de alimentos diversos

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the degree of degradation of the soybean oil used in frying processes. The quality of the oil during the frying process was evaluated by means of physical-chemical analyses, such: conjugated dienes (%) and TBA index (mmoles g(-1)), and determination of total polar compounds (%). It was observed that the values of conjugated dienes increasing significantly with time until 1.87% after 15 hours for fry pans I and 1.76% after 22.5 hours for fry pans II. The TBA indexes reached at the end the frying process values of 0.0265 and 0.0210 mmoles g(-1) for fry pans I and II, respectively. The percentages of total polar compounds have shown an increase of six and eight times in relation to the original sample starting from 5.9% and 3.7% and reaching values of 36.8% and 29.2%, for fry pan I and II, after 15 and 22.5 hours of heating, respectively. It has been concluded that the alterations of the soybean oil increased as the time of frying increased, for both fry pans. The oil used in fry pan I showed greater alteration than the that observed in the oil used in fry pan II, in spite of the time of heating being shorter. Taking into consideration that the levels of polar compounds should be less than 25% according to the legislation of several countries, the oils used in both fry pans were already inadequate conditions at the moment of disposal.

Variabilidade espacial da resistência do solo à penetração e do teor de água em sistema de plantio direto na cultura da soja

A harmful and limiting factor regarding culture productivity is soil compaction, a parameter that can be quantified by the resistance of the soil to penetration and highly influenced by water content. These variables present spatial and temporary variability, characteristics which can be determined by the geostatistical technique. In the light of the above, the present work had as its objective the study of spatial variability of soil resistance to penetration (RP) and water content in the soil (U) in soy culture. The RP values at depths of 0,00-0,10; 0,11-0,20 and 0,21-0,30 m varied from 2,9 to 4,28 MPa and are considered harmful to the root development of legumes, although they have not influenced soy productivity which was 3887 kg ha(-1). The medium water content of the soil was between 0,210 and 0,213 kg kg(-1) for the three depths studied. The resistance of the soil to penetration, expressed through semivariograms, presented spatial dependence at all depths, being adjusted to the spherical model at depths of 0,00-0,10m and exponential at depths of 0,110,20 and 0,21-0,30 m. The spatial variability for all studied layers presented a range of about 20m. The water content in the soil did not present spatial dependence for the depths, presenting randomized distribution.

Doses de inoculante e nitrogênio na semeadura da soja em área de primeiro cultivo

The inoculation of soybean crop with Bradyrhizobium bacteria is a widespread practice, due to excellent results achieved in productivity, however, some doubt still arise in relation the need of application of mineral nitrogen at sowing. In that mean, this work aimed to evaluate the response of the doses at inoculant and mineral nitrogen in the sowing of crop soybean in area of first cultivation. The experiments were carried in the experimental field of the University of the Estate of Mato Grosso, Campus of Alta Floresta - MT, Brazil, in the growing seasons of 2006/2007 and 2007/2008. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in a factorial escheme 2 x 4, with four replications. The factors consisted in the inoculation of seeds with Bradyrhizobium japonicum *(3 e 6 mL kg(-1) of seeds), and nitrogen fertilizer at sowing *(0, 10, 20 e 40 kg ha(-1)). The following variables were evaluated: plant height, insertion height of first pod, number of pod per plant, number of grain per pod, mass of 100 grain and grain productivity. In the two growing seasons there was no significant difference for doses of inoculants applied in first year of cultivation with soybean. To nitrogen application at sowing of soybean crop there was quadratic effect to plant height and of insertion height of first pod and growing linear to number of pod per plant in the second year of cultivation, however, without significant increase the productivity.

Desenvolvimento de "Nezara viridula" (L., 1758) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) em genótipos de soja

The soybean (Glycine max (L.)) has been significantly compromised by the attack of insect pests. The stink bug Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is pointed as one of the most damaging species, reducing the quantity and quality of grain produced and requiring a large number of applications of insecticides in crops. Al-though chemical control is still the most widely used method of control, the use of resistant genotypes may represent a viable alternative in the management of this insect, reducing costs and impacts on the environment. This study evaluated the performance of nymphs of N. viridula in nine soybean genotypes under laboratory conditions (T = 25 + 2[degree]C, RH = 70 [plus or minus]10% and photoperiod = 12 h), aiming to detect possible resistance mechanisms. Thus, 25 nymphs/genotype were monitored daily by assessing the duration and mortality of the nymphal stage, the weight of nymphs and adults and the developmental period from egg to adult. The data revealed that the genotypes 'TMG-103', 'TMG-121, IAC-19', 'TMG-117', and 'IAC-24' caused 100% mortality of nymphs, indicating high levels of antibiosis and/or feeding non-preference expression. 'IAC-17' also prolonged the nymphal period, indicating the occurrence of resistance. The insects from 'PI-227687' showed the lowest average weight, also indicating the occurrence of antibiosis and/or feeding non-preference. Our results may be useful for soybean breeding programs focusing on development of genotypes resistant to insects.

Perdas quantitativas na colheita mecanizada de soja em diferentes condições operacionais de duas colhedoras

Mechanized harvesting losses are one of the main problems in the soybean production. This work aimed characterize the quantitative losses of productivity for area, in the mechanized harvesting system in commercial production soybean grains, in function of harvesting displacement speed and year of production. The test was accomplished using a randomized design in a fatorial scheme 2x2, being treatments composed by two harvesting operating in two speeds, 4,0 a 4,5 km h(-1) and 6,0 a 7,0 km h(-1), with five replications for each treatment. The harvesting used Massey Ferguson 5650 Advanced, year of production 2003 e Massey Ferguson 5650 Advanced, year of production 2004. They were evaluated the soybean grains losses caused by the cleaning and separation systems, cut deficiency in the harvesting cutterhead and total losses. The results showed the losses of systems of separation was influenced by harvesting, and the others variables are not significative alterations and the losses in the systems of cleaning showed more contribution for the total losses.
