This study aimed to establish mathematical models that predict the performance of helical fertilizer metering according to the longitudinal and transverse inclinations, angular speed, and helical pitch. Laboratory tests were carried out with helical meterings with lateral and longitudinal discharge through overflow and with two helicoids, working at an angular speed of 16 and 46 rpm at the following longitudinal inclination angles: -20, -15, -10, -5, 0, +5, +10, +15, and +20° and on the transverse axis: -15, -10, -5, 0, +5, +10, and +15°. It was found that the variation of the transverse inclination has little effect on the dosage. When using fertilizer metering with a helicoid, the higher the longitudinal inclination, the greater the dosage in a linear manner, while the meterings with two helicoids provided less oscillation of the dosages according to the inclinations.

It was evaluated the residual effects of sedimentary phosphates associated with the annual application of phosphate on maize grown in Inceptisol soil with a high exchangeable calcium concentration and pH value of 6.0. The experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized block design with strip-split plots. The main plots were treated with Bayóvar rock phosphate, Itafós rock phosphate, or triple superphosphate, while the control received no additional phosphate. The phosphate sources were applied by broadcasting and incorporated in the soil two years prior to the current study at 200 kg of P2O5 ha -1, with no tillage in subsequent years. In the sub-plots, phosphate doses of 0, 60, and 120 kg of P2O5 ha -1 year-1, as triple superphosphate, were applied at the base of the sowing furrows. Leaf phosphorus (P), grain yield, and soil P by ion exchange resin were evaluated. Differences were observed between the leaf P among the plots treated with phosphate sources and the control plot, which declined from 2013 to 2015. In 2013 and 2014, rock phosphate residuals influenced the grain yield when there was no annual application of phosphate. In 2015, grain yields in rock phosphate treatments without annual phosphate application were not superior to those in the control treatment and did not differ significantly from the plots receiving triple superphosphate. Furthermore, it was found that the soil P content extracted by ion exchange resin was higher in the Itafós treatment; however, for this source, the correlation between soil P and grain yield was relatively weak.
在高交换钙浓度、pH值为6.0的Inceptisol土壤中,研究了沉积态磷酸盐对玉米的残留效应。试验采用条带分割的完全随机区组设计。主要地块分别用Bayóvar磷酸盐岩、Itafós磷酸盐岩或三倍过磷酸钙处理,而对照组不添加磷酸盐。磷肥源在本研究前两年以200公斤P2O5公顷-1施用于土壤中,随后几年免耕。在子田中,以三倍过磷酸钙的形式,在播种沟底施用0、60和120 kg P2O5,每公顷-1年。采用离子交换树脂法测定叶片磷、籽粒产量和土壤磷含量。不同磷源处理区叶片磷含量与对照区差异显著,2013 ~ 2015年呈下降趋势。2013年和2014年,在不施用磷肥的情况下,磷矿残留对籽粒产量有影响。2015年,不施用磷肥的磷矿处理的粮食产量不优于对照处理,与施用三倍过磷酸钙的地块差异不显著。在Itafós处理下,离子交换树脂提取的土壤P含量较高;然而,对于该来源,土壤磷与粮食产量的相关性相对较弱。

Substrate cultivation has been gaining interest from vegetable producers, however technical information for many crops is still recent, such as the gherkin, especially regarding the nutrient solution. This study was developed with the objective of evaluating the performance of three gherkin cultivars (Do Norte, Liso de Calcutá and Liso Gibão) grown in coconut fiber and fertigated with nutrient solutions of different concentrations (50, 75, 100 and 125% of the recommendation for melon), using a randomized block design, in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme, with four repetitions and plots composed of three plants. Growth and production variables were evaluated. In general, cv. Liso de Calcutá produced heavier fruits (35.69 g fruit-1), however cv. Liso Gibão produced an average of 21.6 fruits plant-1, being more productive (542.19 g planta-1). The cultivars Do Norte and Liso de Calcutá were less demanding on nutrients. In order to obtain the highest production of gherkin fruits cultivated in coconut fiber, fertigations must be carried out using nutrient solutions diluted in 50% for the cultivars Do Norte and Liso de Calcutá, while for cv. Liso Gibão it is recommended to use nutrient solution diluted in 75% of the concentration of nutrients recommended for the cultivation of melon.
基质栽培已经引起了蔬菜生产者的兴趣,但是许多作物的技术信息仍然是最近的,例如小黄瓜,特别是关于营养液的信息。本研究采用随机区组设计,采用3 × 4因子方案,4次重复,地块由3个植株组成,目的是评估3个小黄瓜品种(Do Norte、Liso de calcuta和Liso gib o)在椰子纤维中生长,并用不同浓度的营养液(甜瓜推荐浓度的50、75、100和125%)进行施肥的性能。对生长和生产变量进行了评价。一般来说,cv。Liso de calcut的果实较重(35.69 g果实-1)。Liso gib平均产21.6个果实,产量更高(542.19 g)。品种Do Norte和Liso de calcuta 对养分的要求较低。在椰子纤维中栽培的小黄瓜,为了获得最高产量,在Do Norte和Liso de calcuta 品种中,必须使用稀释50%的营养液进行施肥,而在cv。利索吉布建议使用营养液稀释75%的营养推荐栽培甜瓜的浓度。

Salinity affects growth and quality of ornamental plants, but studies on mechanisms of salt tolerance in these plants are scarce, particularly under tropical climate conditions. Thus, the morphophysiological leaf responses of four tropical ornamental species were studied, in order to identify the mechanisms involved in the tolerance to salinity and their potentials to be irrigated with brackish water. The research was conducted in a greenhouse using a completely randomized block design, in a 10 x 4 factorial scheme, with four repetitions. The treatments consisted of ten levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 3.0; 4.0; 5.0; 6.0; 8.0; 10.0 and 12.0 dS m-1) and four ornamental tropical species (Catharanthus roseus, Allamanda cathartica, Ixora coccinea, and Duranta erecta). At 30 and 60 days after the beginning of saline treatments (DAST), measurements of leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll index were performed. At 60 DAST, leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf area ratio, leaf succulence, Na+ and proline concentrations were measured. The physiological and morphophysiological responses of the leaves indicate that I. coccinea species has high capacity to grow under irrigation with saline water. Its higher tolerance to salinity is related to the lower concentration of Na+ in the leaves. Conversely, the sensitivity of D. erecta was associated with high Na+ and proline concentrations in leaves. The leaf concentration of proline showed to be an indicator more related to the sensitivity of ornamental plants to salt stress; however this relationship should not be generalized for all ornamental species studied.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the use of phosphorus by maize cultivars for the production of green ears. Two experiments were carried out, one in the rainy season (March to June) and the other in the dry period (August to December), both at the Rafael Fernandes Experimental Farm, in the community of Alagoinha, belonging to the Universidade Federal Rural do Semiárido, in the municipality of Mossoró, RN, Brazil. The treatments consisted of a combination of three levels of phosphorus (low, medium and high) and eight corn cultivars (Dona Josélia, Carrapateira, Pontinha, Cruzeta, Potiguar, BRS 2022, Status and AG 1051). A randomized block design was used in a 3 × 8 factorial scheme, with four repetitions. The evaluated characteristics were: number and total mass of green ears, number and mass of tradable, stuffed and depleted green ears, agronomic and physiological efficiency of production of recovery and use of phosphorus. The cultivars showed better productive performance when fertilized with phosphorus. The cultivars Cruzeta, Potiguar, BRS 2022, Status, AG 1051 and Carrapateira were the most efficient in the use of phosphorus to produce green maize.

ABSTRACT Global solar irradiance (GSI) is a fundamental source of energy on Earth. Despite its importance, sunshine or solar irradiance data are rarely available from weather stations. In the absence of available data, there are empirical methods that can be used to estimate solar irradiance. The objective of this study is to calibrate the parameters and to evaluate the performance of four empirical models of solar irradiance estimation (those of Chen, Hargreaves, Hunt, and Richardson) from air temperature data for eight localities in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Data were obtained from the Meteorological Database for Teaching and Research (BDMEP). For the comparison of means among the models, the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test was used. Dunn’s multiple comparison tests were used to analyze which models presented different means from the others. The performance of each model was assessed using the indices Pearson correlation coefficient (r), mean bias error (MBE), root mean square error (RMSE), Wilmott concordance index (d), performance index (c) and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) coefficient. It was observed that the models proposed by Chen and Hunt presented the best performances in the estimation of GSI for the studied Paraná state localities, given that they yielded results which are closer to the observed historical data.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to estimate the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) of cotton genotypes subjected to water stress, based on fiber quality traits. Irrigated cotton plants were grown in the dry season in the Northeast region of Brazil and subjected to 23 days without irrigation at the beginning of the flowering stage. GCA and SCA analyses were based on the partial diallel model. Significant differences were found for GCA for all traits, with predominance of additive effects. The crossing between the genotypes FM-966 and CNPA-5M was the most promising hybrid combination, showing great potential for improvements in fiber quality in environments subjected to water stress, such as the Semiarid region of the Northeast of Brazil.

ABSTRACT The shoot maturation phase is important for growing mango tree because it precedes the floral induction, when plants are under stress caused by high temperatures and low water availability, that could be reduced by using plant biostimulant. Thus, the current study aimed to use a plant biostimulant containing yeast extract and amino acids to alleviate abiotic stress in mango plants, cv. Tommy Atkins, grown in semiarid environment. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with five treatments, five repetitions and five plants per plot. Treatments consisted of: T1) two foliar sprays with [biostimulant + KCl] + two foliar sprays with K2SO4; T2) No biostimulant and four foliar sprays with K2SO4; T3) three individual foliar sprays with biostimulant and one foliar spray with K2SO4; T4) two foliar sprays with biostimulant and two foliar sprays with K2SO4; and T5) two foliar sprays with [biostimulant + K2SO4] + one foliar spray with K2SO4. The variables evaluated were: i) leaf concentrations of soluble carbohydrates, starch, amino acids and proline; and ii) enzymatic activity of catalase and ascorbate peroxidase. The foliar spray with biostimulant during the branch maturation phase of mango trees grown in tropical semiarid environment alleviated plant abiotic stress. Three foliar biostimulant sprays and one K2SO4spray are recommended to alleviate mango plant abiotic stress in semiarid environment.

Treatments consisted of: T1) two foliar sprays with [biostimulant + KCl] + two foliar sprays with K2SO4; T2) No biostimulant and four foliar sprays with K2SO4; T3) three individual foliar sprays with biostimulant and one foliar spray with K2SO4; T4) two foliar sprays with biostimulant and two foliar sprays with K2SO4; and T5) two foliar sprays with [biostimulant + K2SO4] + one foliar spray with K2SO4. The variables evaluated were: i) leaf concentrations of soluble carbohydrates, starch, amino acids and proline; and ii) enzymatic activity of catalase and ascorbate peroxidase. The foliar spray with biostimulant during the branch maturation phase of mango trees grown in tropical semiarid environment alleviated plant abiotic stress. Three foliar biostimulant sprays and one K2SO4spray are recommended to alleviate mango plant abiotic stress in semiarid environment.","PeriodicalId":51288,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agricola e Ambiental","volume":"50 1","pages":"457-464"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81148771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Soil penetration resistance (SPR) is used as an indicator of compaction, as it is related to important soil and plant attributes and is an easily obtainable measure. Its determination with the use of the penetrometer guides to the best soil management strategies, thus favoring crop development. The objective of this study was to develop and validate the georeferenced hydraulic driven electronic penetrometer, making it easier to obtain SPR. For this, 36 SPR readings from 0 to 0.60 m depth were performed with the manual and hydraulic penetrometers in two areas. The SPR results were analyzed by establishing the confidence intervals by the t-test (p ≤ 0.10) at each 0.05 m depth and the georeferencing was analyzed through the root mean square error (RMSE). It was found that both penetrometers showed similarity in SPR measurement and in the georeferencing of the points.

ABSTRACT Information about production, crop systems and economic viability for technical grown of plantain are scarce in Brazil. Few technologies developed specifically for plantain are available; thus, there are many adaptations of information on banana crops extrapolated to plantain. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth, nutritional status, gas exchanges, water use efficiency and yield of ‘D’Angola’ plantain under different plant densities, in the first production cycle. The treatments consisted of six plant densities (1,111; 2,500; 2,777; 3,125; 3,571; and 4,166 plants ha-1), which were evaluated in a randomized block design with four repetitions. Vegetative growth, leaf nutrient concentrations at the flowering stage, gas exchanges (monthly) at two reading times, fruit yield and water use efficiency at harvest were evaluated. The nutritional status is not dependent on plant density. The vegetative growth varied, regardless of the plant density, whereas the leaf area index increased as the plant density was increased. The leaf temperature increased as the plant density was increased. The water use efficiency for fruit yield, as a function of plant density, fitted to a quadratic model, with the maximum value at 3,301 plants ha-1. The use of 3,333 plants ha-1 is recommended for plantain.
