The IDPH Public Health Tracking Program is an excellent way to collect data related to various indicators for Iowans, but those looking for national statistics or data from other states may want to check out the Health Indicators Warehouse (healthindicators.gov). Run and maintained by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, this site is a centralized source for national, state, and county data for a wide variety of indicators. The data is available to the public, and can be accessed either through the tables and charts directly on the website, or indicators can be downloaded to use in a spreadsheet. Once on the site, users are able to search for their desired data either by topic or geographic region. Filters can then be applied to the chosen field to narrow down the user’s search and obtain the preferred statistics. In addition, users are also able to search for indicators derived from state and federal health indicator initiatives: County Health Rankings, Community Health Status Indicators, Healthy People 2020, and CMS Community Indicators. The warehouse provides an overview of each indicator after the user has made their selection. This overview includes information on how the data was calculated and what characteristics are being represented. For example, percent of binge drinking adults is prefaced in the overview that data was based on the question: “Considering all types of alcoholic beverages, how many times during the past 30 days did you have [5 for men, 4 for women] or more drinks on an occasion?" Data is viewable either in the basic table format, chart format, or for some indicators it is possible to view it in terms of a national map. The Health Indicators Warehouse updates indicators as data becomes available, but the collection of years varies amongst the indicators. Nonetheless, this site is a useful resource to anyone looking for comparative indicators throughout the nation or is interested in one of the hundreds of indicators housed by the site.

Análise da capacidade combinatória entre linhagens de girassol

A capacidade geral (CGC) e a capacidade específica de combinação (CEC), entre duas linhagens macho-estéreis (mãe) e um grupo de sete linhagens S4 restauradoras de fertilidade (pai), foram estimadas para estudar o potencial desses materiais em programas de melhoramento de girassol (Helianthus annuus L.). O método IV de Griffing, adaptado para cruzamentos dialélicos parciais, foi usado na análise das combinações híbridas. Considerando a CGC para rendimento de aquênios e teor de óleo, os progenitores com maior potencial para o melhoramento foram CMS HA 302 (originária de uma população norte-americana) para ser usada como mãe, e as linhagens 89V2345)3382 e 89V2345)3311 (derivadas da população V2000, obtida por seleção sobre a população Issanka, originária da França) como pais nos cruzamentos. Para o rendimento de aquênios, os efeitos gênicos não aditivos foram importantes na determinação das diferenças entre progenitores. Considerando-se os efeitos gênicos aditivos e não-aditivos conjuntamente, as melhores combinações são CMS HA 302 x 89V2396)5333 para rendimento de aquênios e CMS HA 30379NW22 x 89V2345)3382 para teor de óleo e rendimento de óleo.

Adaptabilidade e estabilidade de produção de cultivares de milho no nordeste brasileiro

Vinte e cinco cultivares de milho (Zea mays L.) foram avaliadas, em 1994, em doze ambientes, na Região Nordeste do Brasil, em blocos ao acaso, com três repetições, objetivando conhecer sua adaptabilidade e estabilidade de produção, em diferentes condições ambientais. Foram detectados efeitos significativos quanto a ambientes, cultivares e interação cultivares x ambientes, na análise de variância conjunta, e foram evidenciadas diferenças marcantes entre os ambientes, as cultivares e respostas das cultivares com relação às variações ambientais. Os híbridos mostraram melhor desempenho produtivo que as variedades, produzindo, em média, 22,5% mais em relação à média das variedades. Apenas os híbridos Cargill 505 e AG 510 mostraram baixa adaptabilidade a ambientes desfavoráveis, com respostas positivas à melhoria do ambiente. Considerando a média das variedades, a CMS 39 ajustou-se mais ao genótipo ideal proposto pelo modelo. Nenhum dos materiais estudados mostrou coeficiente de determinação (R²) inferior a 80%, o que confere a todos eles uma boa estabilidade de produção.

Efeito das condições de colheita, pré-processamento e armazenamento na qualidade do milho-pipoca

Com o objetivo de identificar parâmetros de decréscimos de qualidade de milho-pipoca, foram avaliados os efeitos dos métodos de colheita e debulha de grãos, dos teores de umidade inicial, da temperatura do ar de secagem e do tempo de armazenamento sobre a capacidade de expansão das cultivares Zélia e CMS 43. A colheita foi realizada quando ambas as cultivares de milho-pipoca atingiram o teor de umidade de 19% b.u. e, posteriormente, 15% b.u. Foram utilizadas a colheita e debulha manuais e a colheita mecânica com diferentes velocidades do cilindro debulhador. O produto foi submetido à secagem artificial em camada fina. Periodicamente, realizou-se o teste-padrão de qualidade relativo à capacidade de expansão do milho-pipoca. A qualidade do grão foi afetada significativamente pela colheita mecânica e pelo aumento da temperatura do ar de secagem mas não foi reduzida durante o armazenamento. Os melhores valores de capacidade de expansão, com relação à maioria dos tratamentos, foram obtidos depois de 270 dias de armazenamento. O milho-pipoca da cultivar Zélia apresentou-se com qualidade comercial superior à da cultivar CMS 43, porém é necessário salientar que esta última encontra-se ainda em fase de desenvolvimento e melhoramento genético.

Sistema de plantio de milho em fileiras duplas e simples em consórcio com o feijoeiro comum

Este trabalho teve por objetivo identificar sistemas de semeadura do milho em fileiras duplas e simples que permitam melhores condições de rendimento ao feijoeiro em cultivo consorciado. Os experimentos foram instalados na área experimental da Embrapa-Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Milho e Sorgo (CNPMS), nos anos de 1988/89 e 1989/90. As cultivares de milho precoce BR 201, Cargill 606 e CMS 350 foram semeadas em fileiras duplas de 50 cm com 60.000 e 40.000 plantas por hectare. O espaçamento entre fileiras duplas foi de 150 cm, e de 100 cm entre as fileiras simples com 40.000 plantas por hectare. A densidade 120.000 plantas por hectare do feijão cultivar Carioca foi constante em todos os sistemas de cultivo. O rendimento do milho não foi influenciado por esses sistemas. A produtividade do feijoeiro foi menor quando consorciado com os milhos Cargill 606 e CMS 350 em fileiras duplas. O híbrido Cargill 606 em fileiras simples proporcionou maiores rendimentos de grãos à leguminosa. O BR 201 foi o milho mais eficiente para o consórcio, por ser, na média, o mais produtivo, e por permitir, em média, maiores rendimentos do feijoeiro. As produtividades de grãos do consórcio variaram de acordo com os sistemas de cultivo e com as condições climáticas.

Comparação de testadores na avaliação de famílias S2 de milho

O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar testadores para discriminação e avaliação da capacidade de combinação de 64 famílias S2 de milho (Zea mays L.), provenientes do composto CMS-39. As famílias S2 foram avaliadas pelo seu desempenho per se e em cruzamento com três testadores de base genética ampla. Estes foram constituídos pelo híbrido duplo BR-201, pela própria população CMS-39 e a CMS-50. Os topcrosses e famílias S2 foram avaliados em quatro látices 8 x 8, com duas repetições, instalados em áreas contíguas no campo experimental do Departamento de Biologia da Universidade Federal de Lavras, em Lavras, MG, no ano agrícola 1996/97. Estimou-se a capacidade geral e específica de combinação, considerando-se dialelo parcial, e a heterose em relação às famílias S2 per se. Foram obtidas estimativas das correlações do desempenho médio das famílias S2 per se e dos seus híbridos com os diferentes testadores. Constatou-se que só foi possível discriminar os testadores de acordo com a capacidade de combinação e das estimativas das heteroses. A população CMS-50 destacou-se como a melhor testadora.

Estabilidade da produção de germoplasma de milho avaliado em diferentes regiões do Brasil

Este trabalho teve por objetivo obter informações quanto aos aspectos relacionados aos padrões de respostas apresentados por 30 diferentes genótipos de milho (híbridos, cultivares e populações), avaliados em 14 diferentes ambientes do Brasil, no ano agrícola de 1995/96. Foram obtidas as estimativas dos parâmetros de estabilidade da produção de espigas despalhadas. Os genótipos estudados apresentaram comportamento diferenciado quanto à adaptabilidade da produção. Os híbridos foram mais adaptados que as cultivares e populações. O híbrido triplo P 3041 foi o mais produtivo, porém de baixa previsibilidade e estabilidade nos ambientes estudados. As cultivares CMS 50 e BR 106 apresentaram a primeira e a quinta melhores produções, respectivamente, entre as cultivares estudadas, porém não foram muito resistentes ao baixo nível tecnológico. Foi possível identificar genótipos promissores para utilização de imediato e em programas de melhoramento
