Historia de la piscicultura del pejerrey en Chascomús

El pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis es uno de los peces de aguas continentales más emblemáticos de la Argentina y una de las especies más estudiada desde diferentes aspectos: ecológico, sistemático, morfológico, fisiológico, genético, etc. (López et al. 1991). Durante los años 1891 y 1892 se realizaron las primeras experiencias de piscicultura,lográndose por primera vez la reproducción artificial en 1904. Su amplia distribución actual es consecuencia de las siembras que se realizaron desde el antiguo Vivero de Piscicultura del Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería de la Nación y de la Estación Hidrobiológica del Ministerio de Asuntos Agrarios de la provincia de Buenos Aires, ambos establecimientos ubicados en la ciudad de Chascomús. En el presente trabajo se realiza una aproximación a la historia de la piscicultura del pejerrey en Chascomús, la que se divide en tres períodos: 1) Antecedentes de piscicultura, importancia de la pesca comercial en el sistema de lagunas Encadenadas de Chascomús y primeras medidas tomadas para conservar la explotación de las lagunas hacia fines del siglo XIX. 2) Etapa del antiguo Vivero (Ministerio de Agricultura de la Nación), desde 1904 hasta 1939. 3) Etapa de la Estación Hidrobiológica (Ministerio de Asuntos Agrarios, provincia de Buenos Aires), desde 1943 hasta el presente.

Weed age affects chemical control of Conyza bonariensis in fallows

In the last decade, Conyza bonariensis has become a widespread and difficult-to-control weed in Australian broad-acre cropping, particularly in glyphosate-based zero-tilled fallows of the subtropical grain region. The first Australian populations of C. bonariensis, where it is known as flaxleaf fleabane, were confirmed resistant to glyphosate in 2010. Control with alternative herbicides in fallows has been inconsistent, with earlier research indicating that weed age could be a potential contributing factor. In two field experiments, the impact of weed age (one, two and three months) was measured on the efficacy of six non-selective herbicide mixtures and sequential applications for control in fallows. In another two experiments we evaluated 11 non-selective herbicides, mixtures and sequential applications applied to one and three month old weeds using higher rates on older weeds. When herbicide rates were consistent for different weed ages, efficacy was reduced only by an average of 1% when two month old weeds were treated compared to one month old weeds. However when applied to three month old weeds, efficacy of treatments was significantly (P < 0.001) reduced by 3-30%. When herbicide rates were increased, weed age had no adverse effect on efficacy, which ranged from 90 to 100%, for amitrole, glyphosate mixed with 2,4-D amine plus picloram, and three sequential application treatments of glyphosate mixtures followed with bipyridyl products. Thus, this problem weed can be controlled effectively and consistently at the rosette stage of one to two months old, or three month old weeds with several different treatments at robust rates. These effective glyphosate alternatives and sequential-application tactics will minimise replenishment of the soil seed-bank and further reduce the risk for further evolution of glyphosate resistance.

Improved chemical control of Conyza bonariensis in wheat limits problems in the following fallow

Conyza bonariensis is a major weed infesting zero-tilled cropping systems in subtropical Australia, particularly in wheat and winter fallows. Uncontrolled C.bonariensis survives to become a problem weed in the following crops or fallows. As no herbicide has been registered for C.bonariensis in wheat, the effectiveness of 11 herbicides, currently registered for other broad-leaved weeds in wheat, was evaluated in two pot and two field experiments. As previous research showed that the age of C.bonariensis, and to a lesser extent, the soil moisture at spraying affected herbicide efficacy, these factors also were investigated. The efficacy of the majority of herbicide treatments was reduced when large rosettes (5-15cm diameter) were treated, compared with small rosettes (<5cm diameter). However, for the majority of herbicide treatments, the soil moisture did not affect the herbicide efficacy in the pot experiments. In the field, a delay in herbicide treatment of 2 weeks reduced the herbicide efficacy consistently across herbicide treatments, which was related to weed age but not to soil moisture differences. Across all the experiments, four herbicides controlled C.bonariensis in wheat consistently (83-100%): 2,4-D; aminopyralid + fluroxypyr; picloram + MCPA + metsulfuron; and picloram + high rates of 2,4-D. Thus, this problem weed can be effectively and consistently controlled in wheat, particularly when small rosettes are treated, and therefore C.bonariensis will have a less adverse impact on the following fallow or crop.

Ecologia e aplicabilidade de métodos para avaliação da produção primária de Zizaniopsis bonariensis : uma macrófita aquática emergente, no sistema hidrológico do Taim, RS

Este estudo analisou variações mensais na dinâmica populacional, biomassa aérea, taxas de crescimento e produção primária de Zizaniopsis bonariensis, uma macrófita aquática emergente, no Sistema Hidrológico do Taim, RS, durante o ano de 2004. Indivíduos fotossinteticamente ativos tiveram todas suas folhas etiquetadas, quantificações de incrementos em biomassa foram determinadas de modo não destrutivo através de quadros experimentais “in situ”. Variáveis alométricas foliares como comprimento de tecido clorofilado e senescente e diâmetro basal de centenas de indivíduos foram mensuradas em campo e convertidas em biomassa através da regressão da área da superfície foliar contra biomassa. Devido à emergência contínua de indivíduos de Z.bonariensis durante todo o ano, coortes mensais foram recrutadas e monitoradas. Variações na biomassa desta espécie também foram avaliadas de modo destrutivo através de blocos de colheita. Os dados obtidos foram utilizados para calcular a Produção Primária Aérea Anual (PPAA) com base em nove métodos de estimativa: Pico Anual de Biomassa; Pico Anual de Biomassa modificado; Milner & Hughes (IBP); Smalley; Valiela et al; Curva de Allen; Soma dos Máximos de Biomassa; Soma de Incrementos e Crescimento Instantâneo. A taxa media mensal de emergência de brotos foi de 11,7ind m-2, sem evidências de pulsos de emergência em função de mudanças sazonais. A densidade média foi de 48 ind m-2. A longevidade das coortes foi estimada em 10,5 meses, e taxa de mortalidade aumentou após o período reprodutivo, sugerindo preliminarmente influência da sazonalidade sobre estas variáveis A biomassa média das coortes aumentou durante o período reprodutivo, demonstrando alto investimento reprodutivo, sendo o maior valor registrado em outubro, 39,96 gPS m-2, pela coorte de janeiro. A taxa de crescimento relativo se mostrou maior durante o primeiro mês após emergência entre todas as coortes, 0,048 g PSm-2d-1. A biomassa clorofilada dos quadros experimentais decresceu no inverno, voltando a aumentar durante a primavera. A PPAA foi estimada em 2870 gPS m-2. Dos métodos utilizados, apenas o método de Milner & Hughes (não-destrutivo) se mostrou adequado, enquanto os baseados em dados de colheita (destrutivo) subestimaram a produção real de Z. bonariensis.

Controle químico de biótipos de buva (Conyza canadensis e Conyza bonariensis) resistentes ao glyphosate

Studies were conducted at Estacao Experimental de Citricultura de Bebedouro, SP to evaluate the response of glyphosate-resistant horseweed and hairy fleabane biotypes to herbicides glyphosate, bromacil + diuron, diuron e paraquat isolated and in mixture and effect of a sequential application of glyphosate. The experimental design was of complete randomized blocks with four replication and seven treatments. The herbicides were applied with costal sprayer, constant pressure with three nozzles TT110015, the equivalent spray volume was 150 L ha(-1). The control was visually evaluated, trough percentile note scale. The best results were obtained to general control of weed with diuron isolated and glyphosate in mixture with bromacil + diuron while to glyphosate-resistant horseweed and hairy fleabane there was no difference between the treatments. After sequential application to Conyza sp control, the best treatment was obtained associated with diuron and bromacil+diuron.

Cytogenetic characterization of the silverside fish Odontesthes regia (Humboldt, 1833) (Teleostei: Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) from Iquique, Chile

This paper describes the karyotype of Odontesthes regia by means of Giemsa staining, C-banding, to reveal the distribution of the constitutive heterochromatin, and by Ag-staining and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), to locate ribosomal genes (rDNA). The chromosome diploid modal count in the species was 2n = 48. The karyotype is composed of one submetacentric pair (pair 1), 16 subtelocentric pairs (pairs 2 to 17), and 7 acrocentric pairs (pairs 18 to 24). With the exception of pair 1 it was not possible to classify the homologous chromosomes accurately because differences in chromosome size were too slight between adjacent pairs. The distribution of C-banded heterochromatin allowed for a more accurate matching of the majority of chromosomes of the subtelocentric series. Silver staining of metaphase spreads allowed for the identification of Nucleolus Organizer Regions (Ag-NOR) on pair 1. FISH experiments showed that 18S rDNA sequences were located, as expected, in the same chromosome pair identified as the Ag-NOR-bearing one.
