Andropogon grass consortium with stylo in two times: the forage response and sources of phosphorus rates

The use of legumes intercropped with forage in the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado) region is an alternative to reverse the process of pasture degradation. The natural phosphorus deficiency in this region and the high retention capacity of this nutrient in the soil are factors that directly affect the sustainability of the production system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a phosphate with medium solubility (Arad) compared to more soluble sources such as triple superphosphate and mono-ammonium phosphate, on the formation and maintenance of pastures of Andropogon gayanus with or without the introduction of Stylosantes guianensis in pasture already established in the Brazilian savannah. Two experiments were carried out under field conditions in an Oxisol using a randomized block design with split plots, plots with two sources of phosphorus (Arad and super-triple or MAP) and subplots with different levels of phosphorus. The study showed that andropogon grass, even though characterised as forage requiring low fertilization, responded to increased fertilization, especially with the use of more soluble sources of P at planting. From the second year on, with the introduction of Stylosantes guianensis, verified effects were seen on legumes in their efficiency of utilization of residual fertilization from the first year; however, this didn't affect legume dry matter production resulting from the P sources used for the andropogon grass. The mixed stands of andropogon grass and Stylosantes guianensis made it more advantageous to increase the P sources using phosphate fertilizer with lower solubility (Arad), when compared to MAP.

Solubilización de fuentes de fósforo asociadas a un compuesto orgánico enriquecido con biofertilizantes

The enrichment of an organic compound with biofertilizers of microorganisms (solubilizing phosphorus bacteria, BSF) can improve the properties of phosphate fertilizers applied to soils to increase nutrient availability. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with a factorial 4x2 +1 arrangement of treatments: 1) four sources of phosphorus: phosphate rock, natural phosphate, triple superphosphate (TSP) and Cuban phosphate rock; 2) two sources of bio-fertilizer prepared from filter cake (cane waste) enriched with microorganisms and no enrichment; 3) and an absolute control (no filter cake or fertilizer); repeated three times. Data was analyzed with ANOVA and treatment means were compared using Tukey (p <= 0.05). Assessments of available P (Bray-2 and Oniani methodology) and the quantification of total and solubilizing bacteria and fungi in the soil were performed 30, 60 and 90 d after starting the experiment. After 60 d, the population of BSF was lower in the control (p <= 0.05) and the content of P (Bray-2) was higher for SFT (p <= 0.01). The application of the bio-fertilizer increased the P content compared to the control. At 90 d P (Bray-2) increased with the SFT treatment, which also increased (p P in the soil at 60 and 90 d regardless of the presence of microorganism-enriched bio-fertilizer. The use of filter cake enriched with microorganisms associated with different sources of P, and applied to the soil with a high content of P, did not change the soil populations of total and solubilizing bacteria and fungi in the short term. TSP promoted the highest levels of P in the soil, irrespective of the presence of the organic compound enriched with P solubilizing microorganisms.

Determinação de fósforo em biodiesel utilizando eletrodo quimicamente modificado com nanopartículas de ferro

Once petroleum is na exhaustible source of energy, alternative fuels are having more prominence. A much discussed option for replacing fossil fuels is the use of biofuels derived from oils or fats, especially biodiesel. The biodiesel preparation is through a reaction named transesterification, a reaction of triglycerides with a short chain alcohol with a catalyst, producing a mixture of fatty acid esters and glycerol. According to ANP (National Petroleum Agency) specifications, biodiesel can have contaminants due to the catalyst or oil used on its synthesis, such as phosphorus, wich can damage the catalytic converter and cause significant increase in the particles emission. This project aims to develop na alternative method using chemically modified electrodes with iron nanoparticles for determination of phosphorus in biodiesel. For the formation of the iron nanoparticles film on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, was used a iron sulfate solution. The film was formed after 10 successive cycles, with a scanning speed of 50 mV s-1 and a potential range of -0,9 to -1,25 V. To reduce possible oxides on the surface and activate the electrode, it has been subjected to a cathodic polarization with a potential of -1,25 V for 15 minutes in a sodium hydroxide solution. In cyclic voltammograms obtained in the study of the speed of scanning, there is an increase in the intensity of the anodic and cathodic current peaks. The cathodic peak current varied linearly with the square root of scan rate, showing that the electrode is controlled by diffusion. After successive additions of phosphate there is a linear variation in the current peak in the concentration range of 1,0 x 10-7 a 1,0 x 10-6 mol L-1. To determine if the concentration of phosphorus in real sample, the method of adding standard was used by adding aliquots of phosphate ions in the solution containing soy biodiesel extracted with ....
