ABSTRACT One of the bottlenecks for maize (Zea mays L.) production is the need for a large supply of nitrogen fertilizers, which burdens farmers. A solution to this problem is the use of proteobacteria Azospirillum brasilense as an inoculant. However, experimental results regarding this inoculant vary depending, for instance, on the soil cultivation practices used. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense on morphophysiological characters and yield characteristics of three maize genotypes in two off-season cultivated in no-tillage system (NT). Fallow soil (FS) was used as control. The results showed that soil cultivation had a significant effect on morphophysiological and productivity parameters compared to inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense. There were no distinct morphophysiological differences among the treatments. FS (inoculated or not) was more closely related to productivity parameters (grain yield-YI, weight of 100 seeds-100SW, plant height-PH and number of leaves-NL) than NT in both off-seasons. Among the hybrids, Dekalb 255 PRO3 (DKB 255) showed the highest YI and 100SW. Thus, this hybrid was considered well-adapted to off-seasons in western Paraná, Brazil. The inoculation effect was practically null and did not influence the estimated productivity of the different chosen hybrids.

ABSTRACT The application of silicon (Si) in plants benefits the performance of several species. However, the dynamics of the element, mainly in non-accumulating species such as tomatoes, are rarely analyzed. This study investigated the dynamics of Si in tomato plants cultivated under different forms of application and water conditions. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with four replications, using a factorial scheme 2 x 4: two water conditions (60 and 100% of the evapotranspiration of the crop - ETc), and four forms of silicon application (without application, full dose applied at soil, split dose applied at soil, and foliar application). Si content in the soil and in the different plant organs were analyzed. Si content in the soil increased after the crop cycle depending on the application form (full or split doses). The dynamics of Si accumulation and extraction by tomato are influenced by the application form (higher in soil application) and water management, with fruits and leaves having the higher values. Si application, mainly in the soil, increased the rate of Si accumulation and extraction by tomatoes cultivated in different water conditions.

ABSTRACT The proper distribution of maize seeds in pneumatic dispensers is essential for high-quality sowing operations. To enhance seed distribution accuracy, advanced pneumatic mechanisms utilizing new electrically driven dosing devices have been developed, as mechanical mechanisms often lead to distribution errors. Consequently, it becomes imperative to assess the impact of these mechanisms, particularly concerning operational speed. This study aims to evaluate the transmission performance of pneumatic dispensers when depositing maize seeds at varying operating speeds. The experiment was conducted on a static simulation bench, employing a completely randomized design and assessing two seed distribution mechanisms at speeds of 5.0, 7.0, 9.0, 11.0, and 13.0 km h-1. Parameters analyzed included acceptable spacing, double failure, coefficient of variation, and precision index, gathered from five repetitions of 250 consecutive seed depositions. The results suggest that the independent electrically driven dosing mechanism outperforms the pneumatic dosing mechanism with mechanical transmission in terms of acceptable spacing (1.27), missing spacing (0.85), and accuracy index (1.31). However, it is crucial to note that an increase in operating speed negatively impacts seed quality for both dispenser drive mechanisms.
玉米种子在气动分配器中的正确分布是高质量播种操作的必要条件。为了提高种子分配精度,利用新型电动加药装置的先进气动机构已经开发出来,因为机械机构经常导致分配误差。因此,必须评估这些机制的影响,特别是在行动速度方面的影响。本研究的目的是评估在不同的操作速度下,气力分配器在存放玉米种子时的传输性能。实验在静态模拟台上进行,采用完全随机设计,对种子在5.0、7.0、9.0、11.0和13.0 km h-1速度下的两种分布机制进行了研究。分析的参数包括可接受间距、双重破坏、变异系数和精度指数,这些参数来自250个连续种子沉积的5个重复。结果表明,独立电动加药机构在可接受间距(1.27)、缺失间距(0.85)和精度指数(1.31)方面均优于机械传动的气动加药机构。然而,必须注意的是,操作速度的增加对两个分配器驱动机构的种子质量都有负面影响。

ABSTRACT Moringa oleifera (Lam.) is an oilseed rich in unsaturated fatty acids. The seed reserve composition can change according to environmental conditions of precipitation and temperature. Thus, this work aimed to characterize the M. oleifera seed and its vegetable oil from plants cultivated in different states of Northeast Brazil. Seeds and soil samples were collected in Bahia (BA), Ceará (CE), Paraíba (PB), and Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Regarding climate variables, RN and BA had the lowest (395 mm) and highest (880 mm) precipitation during the collection year, respectively. The size and mass of the seeds and almonds, and the characterization of the flour and the oil of the ‘moringa’ seeds were measured. The largest seeds and almonds were collected in BA and the smallest in RN. The highest protein and moisture contents were obtained in the seeds from CE. The seeds from RN had the highest oil content, unsaturated fatty acids, ashes, acidity, and saponification levels. Thus, RN presents the smallest seeds of M. oleifera with higher content of mineral salts (ashes), oil, and monounsaturated fatty acids.
辣木(Lam.)是一种富含不饱和脂肪酸的油籽。种子储备成分会根据降水和温度等环境条件发生变化。因此,本研究旨在对巴西东北部不同州种植的油籽植物及其植物油进行表征。在Bahia (BA)、ceear (CE)、Paraíba (PB)和里约热内卢Grande do Norte (RN)采集种子和土壤样品。在气候变量上,北侧和北侧降水量分别为最少(395 mm)和最多(880 mm)。测量了种子和杏仁的大小和质量,以及“辣木”种子的面粉和油的特性。最大的种子和杏仁采自BA,最小的采自RN。CE种子中蛋白质和水分含量最高。RN种子的含油量、不饱和脂肪酸、灰分、酸度和皂化水平最高。因此,RN呈现出M. oleifera最小的种子,具有较高的矿物盐(灰烬),油和单不饱和脂肪酸含量。

ABSTRACT Cacao fruits are agronomically important and show wide variability for several morphological descriptors. The present study aimed to characterize the genetic distance of 51 genotypes of Theobroma cacao L. in the cocoa-producing region of Southern Bahia (Brazil) based on morpho-agronomic descriptors. The inference of genetic similarity was performed from the phenotypic data derived simultaneously from qualitative and quantitative variables, using the Ward-MLM procedure (Modified Location Model) with the SAS® software. The distance matrix was obtained using the Gower logarithmic function. For this, 28 descriptors were evaluated, five qualitative and 23 quantitative. Furthermore, using the likelihood function procedure, the optimal number of groups was five indicating wide variability. Of 23 quantitative descriptors evaluated by fruits and leaves, 95% showed significant differences. The exception was seed width. Groups 1 and 5 were the most distant, while groups 2, 3, and 4 were closest to each other. The greatest difference between increments was 35.32 for the fifth group. The analysis of the first two canonical axes revealed that both represented 81.88% of the variation, with CAN1 and CAN2 responsible for 53.66% and 28.22% of the variation. The most promising genotypes for breeding programs belong to group 5 due to their superior performance for almost all characteristics analyzed.

Background: Cochlear implants are arguably the most successful neural prosthesis today. Cochlear implantation has several difficulties in patients with internal ear anomalies. This study was performed to analyze intraoperative, postoperative findings, and auditory performance of 55 patients who had inner ear malformations and were treated with cochlear implants at Otorhinolaryngology Department of Çukurova University Hospital.
Methods: Auditory performances were analyzed in 30 of 55 patients. Patients with cochlear anomalies were evaluated as group I, patients with vestibular malformation as group II, and patients with the normal bone labyrinth as group III. Listening progress profiles and meaningful auditory integration scale tests were used to determine performances.
Results: Comparison between the listening progress profiles test performance of the groups at 12th and 18th month of group I was significantly lower than other groups (P < .05) and reached at the same level after the 24th month. Comparison between the meaningful auditory integration scale test performance of groups at 24th and 36th month of group I was significantly lower than other groups (P < .05). Perilymph gusher was observed in 3 patients who had incomplete partition I malformation. Oozing was observed in 50% of incomplete partition II patients. Facial nerve traced a variant course in 4 of 55 patients and 6 patients had postoperative meningitis.
Conclusion: Initially patients with inner ear anomalies showed that the level of language development was worse than patients with normal bone anatomy. However, it was shown that they both reached the same point as a result. Facial nerve anomaly and meningitis risk is higher in patients with inner ear malformations.

ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses are one of the major reasons for low crop productivity owing to the disturbances caused by them. Polyamines can be applied to mitigate the harmful effects of stress in plants. Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) is an ornamental, medicinal, and edible plant that is found in many countries. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of polyamines application and salt stress on the growth and leaf gas exchange of T. majus. The treatments to induce salt stress were as follows: 0 mM NaCl (no stress), 40 mM NaCl (moderate stress), 80 mM NaCl (severe stress), 40 mM NaCl + spermine (Spm), 40 mM NaCl + spermidine (Spd), 40 mM NaCl + putrescine (Put), 80 mM NaCl + Spm, 80 mM NaCl + Spd, and 80 mM NaCl + Put. Polyamines were applied every week for four weeks. The applications of Spd and Spm attenuated the harmful effects of moderate salt stress on plant height and leaf fresh mass. The application of Spm attenuated the harmful effects of moderate salt stress on stem diameter. The application of Spd attenuated the harmful effects of moderate salt stress on the number of buds, the stem fresh mass, and total fresh mass. The application of Spm attenuated the harmful effects of severe salt stress on stomatal conductance and transpiration rate and attenuated the harmful effects of moderate salt stress on stomatal conductance, net photosynthesis, and transpiration. The application of Spd attenuated the harmful effects of moderate salt stress on instantaneous water use efficiency and intrinsic water use efficiency. The applications of Spm and Spd application can attenuated the harmful effects of moderate salt stress on the growth and leaf gas exchange of nasturtium.

ABSTRACT The basic sanitation systems are not enough to meet the sanitary requirements in the rural areas of Brazil. Hence, a decentralized anaerobic system was developed by Embrapa to enable the treatment of domestic sewage. The treated sewage effluent (TSE) should be applied to completely replace the N from mineral fertilizer required by corn plants, a typical crop cultivated by Brazilian smallholder farmings for animal feed. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the corn crop responses to the use of TSE as fertilizer. A field experiment was carried out in a sandy clay loam soil at São Carlos, state of São Paulo, Brazil, over 2018-2019 summer growing season of a hybrid corn cultivar with dual aptitude (grain and silage production). Four treatments about application of different nutrient sources were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications: 1- NPK: urea, simple superphosphate and potassium chloride as nutrient sources; 2- EfPK: TSE as N source + PK from mineral fertilizers; 3- Ef: TSE only; 4- PK: mineral fertilizers only. TSE was applied to crop by short and closed-end furrow irrigation. TSE can be used as a source of nitrogen mainly and other nutrients for corn crop nutrition based on the knowledge of effluent nutrient concentrations. TSE split application through fertirrigation can lead to corn yield parameters close to those from NPK application using only mineral fertilizers as nutrient sources. The reuse of this wastewater is feasible for small-scale corn production which is typical of Brazilian smallholder farming.

Hence, a decentralized anaerobic system was developed by Embrapa to enable the treatment of domestic sewage. The treated sewage effluent (TSE) should be applied to completely replace the N from mineral fertilizer required by corn plants, a typical crop cultivated by Brazilian smallholder farmings for animal feed. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the corn crop responses to the use of TSE as fertilizer. A field experiment was carried out in a sandy clay loam soil at São Carlos, state of São Paulo, Brazil, over 2018-2019 summer growing season of a hybrid corn cultivar with dual aptitude (grain and silage production). Four treatments about application of different nutrient sources were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications: 1- NPK: urea, simple superphosphate and potassium chloride as nutrient sources; 2- EfPK: TSE as N source + PK from mineral fertilizers; 3- Ef: TSE only; 4- PK: mineral fertilizers only. TSE was applied to crop by short and closed-end furrow irrigation. TSE can be used as a source of nitrogen mainly and other nutrients for corn crop nutrition based on the knowledge of effluent nutrient concentrations.

ABSTRACT In recent times, green technologies have gained space and interest in many industrial sectors. Examples of this are enzymes, which can be obtained by solid-state fermentation using microorganisms and agro-industrial residues as substrates. In this context, this study aimed to verify the production of hydrolases leading to Arthrobacter polychromogenes and Streptomyces violaceoruber strains as producers and the influence of moisture and residues of licuri [Syagrus coronata (Martius) Beccari] and wheat as substrates. The solid-state fermentation was performed at 28 °C/12 days, with different ratios of wheat bran/degreased almond licuri cake: 0/70%, 10/60%, 35/35%, 60/10% and 70/0%; and licuri peel, set at 30%. The medium moisture ranged from 29 to 67%. Licuri peel was added to facilitate aeration of the medium; wheat bran is commonly used to produce lipases and pectinases; and degreased almond licuri cake is the substrate of interest in this work, since it was inspired by the extractive production of licuri in the semiarid region of Brazil. The wheat bran/degreased almond licuri cake ratio did not affect enzyme production by A. polychromogenes; however, with S. violaceoruber, the ratio value was significant for lipase production but not for pectinases. The medium prepared with 67% moisture and equal ratios of wheat bran and degreased almond licuri cake (35/35%) presented the highest enzymatic activities for both enzymes, 840.46 U/gds for lipases and 15.53 U/gds for pectinases, during Composite Central Design assays. With validation experiments, it was verified that licuri residues can be used as substrates for the production of hydrolases by solid-state fermentation and that actinobacteria evaluated are suitable microorganisms.

ABSTRACT The organic residues can be used in the composition of substrates, but there is a need to demonstrate the technical efficiency of organic residues. The objective was to evaluate substrates composed of varying proportions of soil of different texture and organic residues, in order to obtain good quality African mahogany seedlings. The experiment was carried out in two stages, one in a forest nursery and the other in the field, both located in the Cerrado biome, Western Maranhão, Northeast region of Brazil. The design was in randomized blocks, with eleven treatments and seven replications. The morphological variables of growth and quality were evaluated for 105 days in the nursery and 270 days in the field. The results showed that all substrates produced seedlings with adequate robustness and Dickson quality index. The seedlings produced in substrates with proportions ranging from 70 to 30% of soil, 15 to 30% of tanned cattle manure and 15 to 20% of carbonized rice husks presented a better quality standard, considering the higher values of nutrient content, morphological characteristics and Dickson quality index. However, when planted in the field, only seedlings that were produced in substrates with clayey textured soil, with up to 20% of carbonized rice husk, showed greater growth in height, as the substrate remained adhered to the root when removed from the container. Therefore, the adherence of the substrate to the root system of the seedlings was the main factor for the greater growth of the seedlings under field conditions.
