The Brazilian berry (Pliniacauliflora, sin: Myrciariacauliflora Berg), a native tree of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, called by native people as “Jabuticaba” and cultivated throughout the national territory, is a species produced for consumption in natura, manufacturing liqueurs, ice cream, fermented drinks and juices, jellies, in addition to be used in the pharmaceutical industry for essential oil production. Despite being a tree species, it has been cultivated in pots by those who have little space. Thus, this study aimed to verify substrate compositions with soil in the development of Brazilian berry in full sun and potted. The experimental design was completely randomized, with 3 treatments and 9 replications, being: T1 – Soil + organic compost (1:1); T2 – Soil + sand (1:1); T3 – Soil + sand + organic compost (1:1:1). Chemical and physical properties of substrate mixtures, chlorophyll index and fresh and dry matter of leaves and analysis of leaf macro and micronutrients content were evaluated. Among the evaluated treatments, soil + sand + organic compost (1:1:1) showed favourable results for the evaluated characteristics, while soil + sand (1:1) showed unfavourable results, probably due to the presence of sand in its mixture.

Sprouting is one of the major problems in potatoes during storage. Many consumers refuse to eat potato with sprouts. For this reason, treatment with sprout suppressants is vital. Spearmint oil and Ethylene can be used to suppress sprouts. However, spearmint oil is expensive and Ethylene changes potato colour. CIPC is the best chemical in the market that can suppress sprouting effectively at a low cost. CIPC is toxic and dangerous for the environment. However, by wearing protective equipment and displaying relevant signs, the risk to ourselves and other people can be minimised. The risk to the environment can also be minimised by disposing the containers legally to a licensed disposal contractor and avoiding spillage. The case presented is that of a 2000 tonne store of potato in Hereford in the United Kingdom. A CIPC application has been carried out. The result is 99% control.

Anagroforestry system was established in steeplands of the municipality of Tezonapa Veracruz, Mexico, with objective of evaluating its efficiency in soil conservation. The component species of the system were mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), cedar tree (Cedrelaodorata), teak (Tectonagrandis), orange (Citrus sinensis), lemon (Citrus latifolia), cinnamon (Cynnamomunzeylanicum), corn (Zea mays), and biological barriers to the contour (BBC) of vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides). In agroforestry system, the annual soil erosion rate was reduced by 66% compared to the traditional system used for maize production.

Football fields are the stage for major sporting competitions and essential for the practice of the sport, however, the intense traffic players during matches and training causes soil compaction. Compaction on soccer fields can damage the development of grass, affect the health of athletes, increasing the risk of injuries, and impairing gameplay. The present work aimed to identify the spatial distribution of compaction in low-performance soccer fields. Three soccer fields were selected, composed predominantly of potato grass (Paspalum notatum), which were divided into three sectors: S1- goalkeeper area (composed by the small and large area); S2–laterals (composed by the lateral ends of the field) and S3 - midfield (composed by the central interval between the large areas). Subsequently, the soil mechanical resistance to penetration (RMP) in the soil profile of 0–0.20m in each of the sectors was determined and the data obtained were submitted to analysis of variance. It was found that there is a presence and variation of soil compaction in the different sectors of the three soccer fields studied, with averages varying between 654.62kPa and 3788.58kPa. Compaction levels were identified in certain sectors that can be limited to the development of potato grass and harmful to the health of athletes. Thus, it is recommended to carry out decompaction and/or aeration operations in the fields to improve the physical conditions of the soil.

Freshly harvested seeds of apricot varieties "Balady (Amar)" and "Hamawy" were found to be dormant and did not germinate at all. A specific low-temperature stratification treatment was required to overcome seed dormancy. 5°C cold stratification was found to be the best for breaking seed dormancy, germination and seedling growth. Increased seed germination percentage was recorded when the period of stratification prolonged. Seedling developed from stratified seeds had better growth than those developed from non-stratified seeds. Apricot seeds required a cold stratification of about 12-15 days for "Balady variety (Amar)" and15-18 days for "Hamawy" variety "to reach maximum germination and normal seedling growth. Chemical constituents of apricot seeds (total and reducing sugars, total free amino acids and total indoles were increased while that of free phenols and total soluble phenols were decreased) when stratification period prolonged. Therefore, it can be suggested that breaking of dormancy is coincided with several changes in different chemical constituents of seeds. Some of these materials increased and other materials which decreased at seed germinations.

The objective of this research was to analyze the percentage of germination based on seedlings emergence in ten genotypes of Habanero chili pepper ( Capsicum chinense Jacq.) undercontrolled conditions in San Quintin Valley, State of Baja California. Twelve hours prior to planting, the seed was treated with gibberellic acid at 40% of its concentration, this with the purpose of guaranteeing the germination and seedlings emergence. Sowing was carried out from February 21 st , 2013, 2014, 2015,2017 in seed trays of polystyrene with 130 cavities, which were taken to a company dedicated to commercial production of seedlings, the seedlings emergence was registered, with which the germination of seeds was determined for each genotype. The evaluated genotypes were two commercial varieties; Yucatan Jaguar and Jaguar INIFAP, as well as experimental materials: HRA 7-1, HNY 201, HAN 1-30, HRA 1-1, HAN 25, 1-40, HQR 15-3 and 15-1 HUX. The ten genotypes treated with gibberellic acid had good response on germination and seedlings emergence under the conditions of the San Quintin Valley, State of Baja California. Statistically significant differences did not occur and it obtained an average of 98.4%, but F 1 and F 2 of the Spartacus hybrid seeds without being treated with the acid, had only 46% of germination, with what can be inferred that the gibberellic acid, under the conditions of San Quintin Valley, Baja California, and with management applied in the system of production of seedlings, it increases significantly the germination of seeds of habanero chili pepper.
本研究的目的是分析下加利福尼亚州圣昆廷谷10个基因型哈瓦那辣椒(Capsicum chinense Jacq.)在控制条件下的出苗率。在播种前12小时，用40%浓度的赤霉素酸处理种子，以保证种子发芽和出苗。播种于2013年、2014年、2015年、2017年2月21日，在130个洞的聚苯乙烯种子盘中进行播种，这些种子盘被带到一家专门从事幼苗商业生产的公司，记录了幼苗的出苗情况，并测定了每种基因型的种子萌发率。评价的基因型为2个商品品种;Yucatan Jaguar和Jaguar INIFAP，以及实验材料:HRA 7-1, HNY 201, HAN 1-30, HRA 1-1, HAN 25, 1-40, HQR 15-3和15-1 HUX。在下加利福尼亚州圣昆廷谷条件下，赤霉素酸处理的10个基因型对种子萌发和出苗均有较好的响应。没有统计学上的显著差异，平均为98.4%，而未加酸处理的斯巴达克斯杂交种子f1和f2的发芽率仅为46%，可以推断，在下加利福尼亚州San Quintin Valley条件下，在育苗系统中应用赤霉素酸，可以显著提高哈瓦那辣椒种子的发芽率。

Okra is a very important vegetable in simple world cuisine. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of gamma radiation of Cobalt-60 in the conservation of okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus ). After 1 day of okras’s harvest, they were selected based in the size, presence of mechanical and phytophatologycal damages, and put in polystyrene trays and covered with thin polyethylene film. Then they were irradiated with doses of: 0 (control); 75; 100; 125; 150 and 200 Gy, at a dose rate of 0.259 kGy/h. The experiment was carried out in chamber regulated at 10o C of temperature and 80% of relative humidity. All analyses physical and chemical of the samples were carried out after 7 and 15 days of the storage. The results did not show any significative difference between the control and irradiated samples, except the viscosity that decreased with the increase of the dose of radiation. The dose of 75 Gy can be indicated to the conservation of okras because it was the one that showed best result in the coloration of okras.

Empire Turf® was the first national cultivar developed, compared to traditional Emerald grass, the Empire is characterized by fast establishment, high erosion control, tolerance to irrigation with non-drinking water, firmer carpets, good drought and salinity tolerance, shading and low demands on soil fertility. However, despite all these desirable characteristics, the development and establishment of the grass will depend on its handling and especially on the substrate in which it is installed. Thus, this study evaluated the development of Empire Turf® conducted on three substrates, with chemical fertilization. The experiment was carried out in containers (volume of 8.5 L) filled with the treatments: T1 - soil; T2 - soil + sand + soil conditioner (1v:1v:1v) and T3 - soil + sand (1v:1v), forming a completely randomized design with three treatments and three repetitions, considering each container as an experimental unit. On March 30, 2019, the first evaluation was carried out, then the treatments received chemical fertilization (NPK+S 13-5-13+14), using 20g of the commercial product diluted in 2L of water, being a single dose per container. After 15 days, in the 2nd evaluation, it was evaluated: foliar chemical analysis, the foliar chlorophyll index (FCI), fresh mass (FM) and dry mass (DM). The results indicated that Empire Turf® presents a rapid response of 15 days, after maintenance fertilization with 10g L-1 of NPK+S (13-5-13+14), having better development when cultivated in soil + sand compound substrate (1v:1v).

Uttar Pradesh is the leading state in production and acreage under aonla cultivation in the country. Generally, aonla is considered as “Wonder Fruit for the Health” because aonla fruits are highly nutritious and having good medicinal value but fruits are not consumed freely in fresh form because of its astringent taste due to fruit tannins. The study aims to standardize the process of pickle preparation, which may become a popular method to prepare processed aonla product. Accordingly, eight aonla cultivars viz - Banarasi, Chakaiya, Kanchan, Krishna, NA – 6, NA – 7, NA – 8, NA – 9 were evaluated. Composition of aonla pickle with 1 kg aonla segments, 125 g salt, 10 g turmeric powder, 10 g red chillies powder, 25 g fenugreek, 10 g nigella seed, and 300 ml mustard oil was found ideal for pickle preparation of NA- 7 aonla cultivars. Observations on vitamin ‘C’ (ascorbic acid), total soluble solids (T.S.S.), acidity, and browning were recorded at the monthly interval. The periodical organoleptic assessment of pickle was also performed during storage. The result reported gradual reduction in the organoleptic scores of the aonla pickle, during storage. The acceptable quality of aonla pickle was found to be up to nine months. Therefore, NA-7 cultivar was found ideal for making pickle preparation.
