Determinação dos tipos de resistência a Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) em genótipos de soja

The aim of this work was to evaluate the resistance types in soybean genotypes to Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker) in laboratory. Soybean genotypes assessed were as follows: 'IAC 100'(resistance standard), 'BR16'(susceptible standard), 'Dowling', PI 227687, PI 274454, 'IGRA RA 626 RR', PI 227682, 'BRSGO 8360', 'IGRA RA 516 RR'and 'P 98Y11 RR'. Free-choice and no-choice feeding non-preference tests were done using two newly-hatched larvae per genotype or one third-instar larva per genotype in both tests. Larvae attractiveness was evaluated in different times, and at the end of the experiments the leaf area consumed was quantified. In the antibiosis test, newly-hatched larvae were individualized into Petri dishes, where leaflets of the genotypes were offered over the larval stage, and the following biological parameters were assessed: period and viability of larvae, pupae and overall (larvae + pupae), weight of larvae and pupae, sex ratio and adults longevity. Overall, in the feeding preference tests, significant differences were not found in leaf consumption among the genotypes. In the antibiosis assay, genotypes PI 227687, PI 227682 and 'IAC 100'caused 100% larval mortality and the lowest weight of larvae, ranging between 37.65 and 85.56 mg. All soybean genotypes evaluated do not exhibit feeding non-preference type resistance to S. cosmioides, and PI 227687, PI 227682 and 'IAC 100'highlighted for possessing antibiosis.

Baixa umidade do solo na eficácia de herbicidas aplicados em pré-emergência

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low soil moisture on the efficacy of applying herbicides ametryn + clomazone, sulfentrazone and tebuthiuron in pre-emergence application submitted to simulated rainfalls at different time intervals after application in control of B. pilosa, C. echinatus and U. plantaginea plants. The experiment was carried out in pots with a capacity of 2.5 L in green-house conditions and experimental design was completely randomized with four replications, arranged in a 3x5 factorial (three herbicides and five rains intervals). The herbicides clomazone + ametryn (Sinerge EC) 5.0 L commercial product (cp) ha(-1), sulfentrazone (Boral 500 SC) 1.2 L cp ha(-1) and tebuthiuron (combine SC) 2.0 L cp ha(-1) were applied in pre-emergence and the precipitation of 20 mm were applied under de pots in five time intervals after the herbicide application (0h, 4h, 8h, 12h and 24hours). Visual evaluations of plants control that emerged plants were realized at 14 and 21 days after treatment application and the plant emergence percentage was calculated. The application of these three herbicides in dry soil then rain within 24 hours after application provided C. echinatus plants emergence, reduced B. pilosa emergency but in the end of the experiment effectively controlled these two species and U. plantaginea plants.

Spectrophotometric evaluation of color changes of esthetic brackets stored in potentially staining solutions

The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the chromatic behavior of esthetic brackets stored in potentially staining solutions. The sample were divided into four groups according to the commercial brand and stored in four different solutions (distilled water, cola soda, coffee and mouthrinse) at 37°C for 14 days. Possible color changes measured according to the CIE L*a*b* color system with a spectrophotometer at five intervals of time after storage. The statistical analysis was carried out using ANOVA to 1%, Tukey's tests and decomposition of interactions with a significance level of 5%.The color changes were dependent on the solution, storage time and the brand of brackets. The largest color changes were observed in the G3, followed by G2, G1/G4. The esthetic brackets do not present satisfactory and stable chromatic behavior.

Remoção pela chuva de diferentes formulações de flutriafol aplicada em soja, com e sem a adição de óleo mineral na calda

The present study had as objectives to verify the effect of rainfastness of different flutriafol formulations, in laboratory conditions, applied on soybean plants with and without the oil adjuvant in the spray solution, as well as to verify the influence of the oil on the droplet spectrum. The experiment considered ten spray solutions related to five treatments containing flutriafol (four formulations of flutriafol and a flutriafol mixture with tebuconazole), all applied with and without mineral oil. Particles size analysis were based on the determination of the droplet spectrum, medium volumetric diameter and the amount of droplets below 100 μm. All the solutions were sprayed with Teejet XR 11001 (fine droplets). Droplet spectrum was determined in a direct way by diffraction of laser (Malvern Mastersizer S®, version 2.15). Confidence interval at 90% degree was used to compare the mean data. The results showed that the addition of mineral oil in the solutions provided tendencies of larger medium volumetric diameter, smaller amount of droplets below than 100 µm and better uniformity of the droplet spectrum. All of the solutions with the addition of mineral oil presented larger adhesion and/or absorption of the fungicide on the plants in comparison with the solutions without oil. The increase of the time between the application and the rain, caused reduction of the fungicide removal, independently of the rain intensity. The increase of the amount of rain didn't change the relative behavior among the solutions; however, this larger amount of rain caused larger fungicide removal along the time. It was observed significant removal of flutriafol by the rain up to 48 hours after the spray application.

Comportamento do fator de potência de uma serra de fita vertical e de um picador em uma serraria

This work aims to present the electrical behavior of two mechanical processing equipment of wood, the saw vertical tape and the wood chipper. Their characteristics in real operating conditions and the electrical behavior of devices in terms of energy efficiency is shown through the study of individual power factor are presented in this study. It was observed that both devices operate unloaded for some intervals of time and this contributes to a low power factor. It is concluded that improved production planning and better preparation of the operators in the operations of sawing wood, in order to improve the power factor in sawmills is necessary.

Eficácia do glyphosate e 2,4-d no controle de commelina villosa

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of glyphosate and 2,4-D alone and in combination, in the control of Commelina villosa. We studied two methodologies for evaluating herbicide absorption in eight time intervals for washing (simulating rainfall after application) and cutting of leaves (simulating abortion as a defense strategy): 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after herbicide application, and a treatment without washing or cutting the leaves in a completely randomized design with four replications in a 3 x 7 + 1 factorial design (three herbicides x seven periods – hours after application). Herbicides and doses tested were: glyphosate (1,440 g ha-1), 2,4-D (720 g ha-1) and a mixture of glyphosate + 2,4-D (1,080 + 720 g ha-1). The simulation of rain interfered negatively in the plant control with glyphosate. The control with the herbicide 2,4-D was affected only for the period of 2 hours. Periods of rain simulation did not influence the control of plants with a mixture of glyphosate + 2,4-D. For the study with the cutting of treated leaves, all treatments regardless of the period of cutting the leaves were influenced negatively in terms of plant control, the plants showing regrowth when treated with 2,4-D alone.

Análise imuno-histoquímica das proteínas RANK, RANKL e OPG em dentes de ratos reimplantados

The RANK / RANKL / OPG sy stem plays an important role in bone formation and resorption . This finding has been regarded as one of the m ost important advances in the understanding of bone biology with respect to osteoclastogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of RANKL / RANK / OPG markers in reimplanted t eeth of rats, and to observe the relationship between the expression of these markers and to oth and bone resorption. Thirty male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus albinos) had their maxillary right incisors extrac ted , and were divided into 2 groups according to the period that the extracted teeth were kept in dry air before reimplantation : G1 (n = 15) - 5 minutes , and G2 (n = 15) - 60 minutes . After reimplantation, teeth were analyzed at intervals of 1, 3 and 7 da ys. After these experimental periods, the animals were euthanized. Longitudinal sections with 5μm thick were obtained and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin for histological analysis , while 3μm thick sections were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis of OPG , RANK and RANKL. The results showed that the RANK / RANKL / OPG system actively participates in both the repair process, as well as tooth and bone resorption . Extr a - alveolar time of 60 minutes before replantation caused minor expressions of RANKL a nd OPG, not influencing the expression of RANK; RANKL immunostaining showed higher in both groups when compared to other biomarkers, participating in all phases of bone and tooth resorption; RANKL was associated to both osteoclastogenesis and c ell ular proliferation , and was expressed in both groups.
