Decomposição da palhada de forrageiras em função da adubação nitrogenada após o consórcio com milho e produtividade da soja em sucessão

The objective of this study was to evaluate the straw decomposition of the Urochloa and Panicum after intercropped with corn and nitrogen fertilization, as well as, the agronomic performance of soybean in succession. The experiment was conducted in an Oxisol in Cerrado conditions under no-tillage eight years ago. After the corn harvest intercropped with grass and cutting of forage homogenization were applied N rates (0, 50, 100 and 200 kg ha-1 of N - urea source) in coverage. The plots consisted of Urochloa brizantha,Urochloa ruziziensis and Panicum maximum Tanzânia and Mombaça sown at the time of corn sowing and subplots composed by accumulated amounts of nitrogen applied in forage plants prior to the soybean cultivation (0, 250, 500 and 1000 kg ha-1 of N, after five cuts). The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications in a split plot. Soon after the last cut of the forage, proportionate amount of fresh mass of the species of each subplot was wrapped in nylon bags called Litter Bags, these being deposited in direct contact with the soil, to determine the time of decomposition of the dry mass during a period of 150 days. The nitrogen doses, as well as, the corn intercropped with forages (except with Mombaça) interfere similarly in the straw decomposition of forage and in the soybean yield in succession. All the consortiums of corn and nitrogen fertilization predecessors determined that, at 60 days after desiccation and cutting, still remained between 50 and 60% of the initial straw for no-tillage system.

Impacto do padrão geométrico ventricular na remodelação cardíaca após o infarto do miocárdio

BACKGROUND: The relevance of left ventricular (LV) geometric pattern after myocardial infarction is not known. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the presence of different LV geometric patterns and teir impact as a predictor of remodeling in patients with myocardial infarction. METHODS: Patients with anterior acute myocardial infarction (n = 80) were divided according to the geometric pattern: normal (normal left ventricular mass index [LVMI] and normal relative wall thickness [RWT]), concentric remodeling (normal LVMI and increased RWT), concentric hypertrophy (increased LVMI and RWT) and eccentric hypertrophy (increased LVMI and normal RWT). After six months, echocardiographic assessment was repeated. RESULTS: Four patients died. Of the survivors, 41 showed remodeling (R +), whereas 39 did not (R-). Considering the geometric pattern, the cases were distributed as follows: 24 patients with normal pattern, 13 with concentric remodeling, 29 with concentric hypertrophy and 14 with eccentric hypertrophy. Patients who showed remodeling had larger infarction sizes analyzed by peak CPK (R + = 4,610 (1,688-7,970), R- = 1,442 (775-4247), p <0.001) and CK-MB (R + = 441 (246 - 666), R- = 183 (101-465), p <0.001), trend towards higher prevalence of concentric remodeling (R+ = 10, R- = 3, p = 0.08) and lower prevalence of eccentric hypertrophy (R + = 2 R- = 12, p = 0.006). In the multivariate regression analysis, infarction size was a predictor (OR = 1.01, p = 0.020) and eccentric hypertrophy was a protective factor (OR = 0.189, p = 0.046) of ventricular remodeling after coronary occlusion. CONCLUSION: The LV geometric pattern of can have an impact on the remodeling process in patients with myocardial infarction.

Desempenho escolar: análise comparativa em função do sexo e percepção dos estudantes

This paper discusses the results of an investigation of academic achievement by gender and student perception of the expectations of their teachers. 120 students from the 5th year of primary education municipal public schools in the metropolitan region of Campinas city participated in the research: 60 of the students have satisfactory academic performance and the other 60 have unsatisfactory performance. We used a scale of student perception of teacher expectations and, to measure academic performance, we considered the grade teachers assigned to students. Research results revealed significant differences between boys and girls in the group of students with unsatisfactory performance, because most of them (83.3%) were male. On the other hand, there were no statistically significant differences between boys and girls in the group with satisfactory academic performance, although girls' average academic performance was higher. Regarding the perception of their teachers, we observed differences in both groups. Students with satisfactory performance have the perception that they are more praised and more often chosen to assist the teacher in the classroom while underperforming students believe they receive more criticism from their teachers and are seen as more unruly. The data allow discussing student-teacher bond, the influence of experience at the time of learning and how it influences the interest and motivation of students.

Propriedades físicas de um Nitossolo Vermelho em função dos sistemas de uso e manejo

O solo, um dos principais suportes da produção agrícola tem seu comportamento regido por um complexo conjunto de fatores físicos, químicos e biológicos, razão pela qual o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar as modificações dos atributos físicos de um Nitossolo Vermelho distroférrico com diferentes manejos, na Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas - UNESP, Campus de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brasil. O delineamento estatístico foi inteiramente casualizado, com seis repetições em três diferentes áreas, sendo uma área de mata nativa, uma área com sistema de preparo convencional do solo e uma área com plantio direto. Foram determinados: matéria orgânica, argila natural, porosidade total, macroporosidade, densidade do solo, resistência à penetração e diâmetro médio ponderado dos agregados. O sistema de preparo convencional apresentou os menores teores de matéria orgânica na camada até 0,20 m. Na resistência à penetração não houve diferença entre os tratamentos. Para as cinco profundidades do sistema de preparo convencional observaram-se maior densidade e teor de argila natural em comparação aos outros sistemas. O sistema de preparo convencional diferiu dos demais tratamentos quanto ao diâmetro médio ponderado, porosidade total e macroporosidade apresentando os menores valores desses atributos.

Produção de chicória em função de doses de nitrogênio e potássio aplicadas na fase de mudas

Considering there are few researches about the influence of seedlings fertilization on yield, this work was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of rates of nitrogen and potassium, applied by fertirrigation, in endive seedlings on yield. Two experiments were carried out, the first with four treatments, varying nitrogen rates, and the second with four potassium rates. In both, experimental design was randomized blocks, with four replications. In the first experiment, we utilized ammonium nitrate, weekly, at rates 0; 40; 80 and 120 mg of N L-1, while in the second experiment we utilized potassium chloride, weekly, at rates 0; 70; 140 and 210 mg of K2O L-1. The evaluated characteristics at seedling stage were shoot height, number of leaves, fresh and dry shoot weight. At harvesting, we evaluated plant height, diameter, number of leaves and fresh weight. Potassium rates did not influence all characteristics, at seedling and at harvesting stages. For all seedling characteristics, there was linear increasing depending on nitrogen rates. But, for plant fresh weight, diameter and number of leaves at harvesting, the effect was quadratic. The highest fresh weight and number of leaves at harvesting were obtained with 90 mg of N L-1.

Produção de beterraba em função do espaçamento

Atualmente alguns híbridos importados têm substituído as tradicionais cultivares de beterraba de mesa, sem no entanto, desenvolver estudos básicos sobre a melhor densidade de plantio para as condições brasileiras. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do espaçamento entre linhas e entre plantas na produção de beterraba híbrido Boro. O experimento foi conduzido em campo da UNESP em Botucatu-SP, de 10 de setembro a 8 de dezembro de 2010. Foram estudados dois fatores, espaçamentos entre linhas (EL) de 20 e 25 cm, e 7,5; 10,0 e 12,5 cm entre plantas (EP), no esquema fatorial 2 EL x 3 EP, totalizando seis tratamentos (populações variando de 246.400 a 513.333 plantas ha-1, considerando-se canteiros com 1,0 m de largura e espaço entre canteiros de 0,3 m). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com cinco repetições e parcelas de 2 m2. As mudas foram produzidas em bandejas de polipropileno com 288 células. A irrigação foi por aspersão e a adubação foi igual para todos os tratamentos, seguindo a recomendação para o estado de São Paulo. A maior massa fresca por raiz (116,1 g) foi obtida no EL de 25,0 cm. Em relação ao comprimento da raiz, observaram-se diferenças significativas apenas para o EP, sendo que o maior espaçamento, 12,5 cm, resultou em maior comprimento (63,1 mm). Foram obtidos maiores valores de diâmetro das raízes quanto maiores os EP (65,6 mm para 12,5 cm) e EL (63,1 mm para 25 cm). A maior produtividade (44,7 t ha-1) foi obtida no menor EP (7,5 cm), enquanto que o EL não afetou a produtividade. Pode-se concluir que o melhor EP foi de 7,5 cm pela maior produtividade. Quanto ao tamanho da raiz, tanto o maior EL (25 cm) como o maior EP (12,5 cm) resultaram em raízes com maiores massa média e diâmetro.

Produtividade de arroz de terras altas em função de reguladores de crescimento

The use of sprinkler-irrigation and/or high levels of fertilization in upland rice can increase plant height and hence plant lodging. Lodging can be controlled by using growth regulators, in order to reduce plant height. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of plant growth regulators applied at the stage of panicle primordium differentiation on the reduction of plant height and the impact on grain yield and its components of upland rice cultivar Primavera, under sprinkler irrigation. The experiment was arranged in a 3x4 factorial randomized blocks design with four replications. Treatments consisted of: mepiquat chloride and trinexapac-ethil applied at doses 9, 50, 100, and 200 mg a.i. ha-1, and paclobutrazol at doses of 0, 25, 50, and 100 mg a.i. ha-1. Plant growth regulators reduced rice plant height; increasing doses of regulators reduced upland rice grain yield and its components; trinexapac-ethyl was the most harmful to rice grain yield.In this study, it was not identified the dose of growth regulator that allied reduction in plant height and did not cause decrease in rice yield.

Crescimento e produtividade de cana-de-açúcar em função da disponibilidade hídrica dos Tabuleiros Costeiros de Alagoas

The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction among meteorological variables and yield components of six sugarcane varieties and to establish appropriate varietal management at the Coastal Tablelands of the Alagoas State (Brazil). The sugarcane planting was carried out in September 2005, and three cane harvests were made in November 2006, 2007 and 2008. The experimental design was in randomized block with six treatments consisting of the varieties RB863129, RB867515, RB92579, RB93509, RB931003 and RB951541, with four replications. The growth variables evaluated were number and length of stalks, leaf area index, and productivity of stalks and sugar. On average, the crop water balance showed water deficit of 869 mm between September and March and excess of 837 mm from April to August. The irregularity of rainfall in the Coastal Tablelands promoted differential responses in the development and productivity of varieties of sugarcane. Varieties RB93509 and RB931003 are considered options for the varietal management in this region.

Suscetibilidade à podridão negra e produtividade de brócolis em função de doses de nitrogênio e potássio

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of potassium and nitrogen on the severity of black rot and yield of head. The experiment was carried out in split plots with factorial subplots, in randomized blocks with four replications. In the plots we assessed the influence of inoculation (injured plants with distilled water and inoculated with Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris) and in the subplots we evaluated the 4 x 4 factorial, potassium doses (0, 275, 550 and 825 kg ha-1) and nitrogen (0, 150, 300 and 450 kg ha-1). The hybrid Broccoli BRO68 was inoculated using the toothpick method at 64 days after sowing. We observed that potassium in the plant reduced the disease, but nitrogen increased disease. We estimated that the highest levels of potassum in the plant reduced the severity of the disease but lack or excess of nitrogen increased disease severity. The highest production of broccoli inflorescence was obtained at doses from 541 to 751 kg ha-1 of K2O and 286 to 328 kg ha-1 of N. However, when considering a balanced fertilization to obtain higher yield and size of inflorescences and greater resistance to black rot, the ideal doses are 283 kg ha-1 of N and 550 kg ha-1 of K2O.

Teor de nitrogênio inorgânico no solo em função de plantas de cobertura, fontes de nitrogênio e inibidor de nitrificação

A utilização de plantas de cobertura pode alterar a rela-ção NO3-:NH4+ no solo, proporcionando maiores quantidades de NH4+ e podendo viabilizar o desenvolvimento de culturas que absorvem mais e preferem esta forma de nitrogênio (N), como o arroz. Objetivou-se avaliar a influência da interação de plantas de cobertura e fontes de N, com e sem inibidor de nitrificação (dicianodiamida), em sistema plantio direto (SPD). O experimento foi realizado em 2009/2010, em Botucatu (SP), em Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico cultivado por seis anos no SPD. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema de parcela subdividida, com quatro repetições. As parcelas foram constituídas por seis espécies de plantas de cobertura do solo (Urochloa brizantha, U. decumbens, U. humidicola, U. ruziziensis, Pennisetum americanum e Crotalaria spectabilis) e as subparcelas por sete formas de fertilização nitrogenada, aos 0 e 30 dias após a emergência (DAE) do arroz [1 - controle, sem aplicação de nitrogênio; 2 - nitrato de cálcio (40 + 40 kg ha-1); 3 - nitrato de cálcio (0 + 80 kg ha-1); 4 - sulfato de amônio (40 + 40 kg ha-1); 5 - sulfato de amônio (0 + 80 kg ha-1); 6 - sulfato de amônio + dicianodiamida (40 + 40 kg ha-1); e 7 - sulfato de amônio + dicianodiamida (0 + 80 kg ha-1)]. O uso do inibidor de nitrificação e o cultivo de C. spectabilis proporcionaram maiores teores de amônio no solo. A aplicação da fonte amoniacal sem inibidor em dose total aos 30 DAE e com inibidor tanto parcelada quanto em dose total proporcionaram os maiores teores de nitrato no solo.
