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.

Um estudo sobre o desenho aplicado ao design

Although technological development has created several tools and techniques of graphic representation, we highlight here the importance of the manual drawing abilities for the design creative process. Freehand drawing is used to facilitate the development of projects and show them more quickly and efficiently, and is an essential technique for any designer, regardless is informational, product or fashion designer.

Laboratório de design solidário - LABSOL: projeto de extensão em design na perspectiva da geração de trabalho e renda

Introdução: Na sociedade contemporânea costuma-se associar Design ao consumo de luxo, entretanto o design encontra-se aplicado a todos os objetos, do automóvel ao clips, todavia o Design parece estar sempre atrelado à sociedade de consumo, à indústria a serviço do capital e das relações de subordinação e expropriação a ele atrelado. Assim faz-se necessário despertar no aluno do curso de Design a possibilidade da aplicação de seu conhecimento a serviço de uma sociedade mais democrática e solidária, de não apenas produzir a serviço do capital, mas pensar de forma mais abrangente, considerando o bem comum. Objetivos: O Labsol, desde 2007, procura: Otimizar, revitalizar e qualificar a produção artesanal através dos conceitos de ecodesign, sustentabilidade e economia solidária, tendo em vista a auto sustentabilidade das comunidades produtoras. Desenvolver projetos e ações que promovam encontros entre o Design e o patrimônio cultural do artesanato. Preocupar-se com a qualificação do produto artesanal e sua inserção no mercado, tendo em vista a auto sustentabilidade das comunidades produtoras. Métodos: A formação dos integrantes do LabSol é continua e baseada em três conceitos fundamentais: sustentabilidade, economia solidária e eco design. As ações se dão a partir do convite de uma comunidade de artesãos na perspectiva da qualificação estética ou produtiva de seus trabalhos e a melhoria da geração de renda. Utiliza-se o método empírico, de caráter prático, através de estudo de caso. Em uma visita aprende-se métodos e técnicas utilizados pela comunidade, e de volta à sede, faz-se revisão bibliográfica e utiliza-se a metodologia do projeto em design para melhoria das técnicas produção, o redesenho de produtos e a geração de novos objetos de design. Construídos modelos e protótipos e avaliado seu potencial de comercialização são submetidos a aprovação da comuni-dade através de oficinas. O diferencial no trabalho do LabSol se dá na maneira que os projetos são entregues aos grupos. Entende-se todo o processo como um aprendizado de mão dupla, da troca de saberes, onde os membros do laboratório aprendem da comunidade dados de sua cultura e de seus modos de fazer, em contrapartida novos produtos são levados de volta a comunidade, entendidos como mais um dado cultural posto a disposição da comunidade podendo ou não ser por ela incorporado. Resultados: Com mais de 20 grupos atendidos, e centenas de produtos de eco design, as ações o LabSol resultam na pesquisa de eco design, materiais, técnicas, métodos e de novas tecnologias sociais, gerando um número significativo de publicações e exposições de divulgação. Tem recebido graduandos de relações públicas e engenharia de produção, a junção de saberes tem permitido um aprimoramento na qualidade de atendimento ás comunidades.

O design inserido no vestuário infantil: um estudo sobre as roupas com conceitos lúdicos de aprendizagem

Among the current trends for children’s clothing is clothing that may contribute to the development and children’s learning through interaction with their clothes. For child interaction / clothes from occurring, this dress is appropriate the knowledge of design, which assist in its construction. Thus, this study seeks to investigate design principles that can be adopted for production of clothing that can assist in the development of children, showing how notions of education can be incorporated into costumes, studying the relationships and interactions between design, fashion and education. The study addresses this garment from the perspective of design, so as to provide insights that could contribute to the creation of the pieces. To that end, we developed a theoretical framework that sought to show the infant universe, communication, clothing and design. According to the methodological procedures for the work, there was a case study in ten private schools in Bauru-sp in order to obtain data on experiences with children about their preferences, attitudes and ways of reasoning child’s world.

Processamento da amostra das silagens de grãos úmidos de sorgo com baixo e alto tanino na determinação da digestibilidade aparente em equinos

There were used four castrated male horses, crossbred. It was used randomized block by design for four replications. The objective was to evaluate the effect of using samples, ground or in natura, in the precision of the mobile nylon bag technique (MNBT) in comparison to the total collection (CT) method in oder to estimate the apparent digestibility coefficient (DC) of nutrients of high-moisture grains silage of sorghum with low (SSLT) and high (SSHT) tannin in the feeding equine. No effect was observed for MNBT and CT methods with in natura sample for DC of DM, OM, CE, CP to SSLT (P>0.05), whose average values were 81.71, 84.23, 82.27 e 81.43%, respectively. The MNBT did not showacuracy to evaluate of DC of the SSHT, with ground and in natura samples. It was concluded that MNBT containing in natura sample should be used to determinating the DC of SSLT to DM, OM, CE and CP for equines.
