ABSTRACT ‘BRS Paranoá’ was obtained by the carrot breeding program of Embrapa Hortaliças, aiming to obtain a cultivar adapted to most carrot-producing regions in an organic system. It was developed through selection of half-sib progenies and validated in Brazil. ‘BRS Paranoá’ is indicated for sowing in the spring/summer seasons especially because it displays high resistance to leaf blight caused by the fungal and bacterial association (Alternaria dauci, Cercospora carotae, and Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae) with defoliation between 20 to 25% at 100 days after planting (DAP), eliminating the need to control this disease with chemical pesticides. In addition, it shows high production stability and an outstanding production exceeding 32 t ha-1. ‘BRS Paranoá’ is an early maturity cultivar, and the harvest can be carried out from 85 DAP when the commercial roots range from 16 to 22 cm, 3 cm diameter, intense orange color, cylindrical shape, and no external or internal physiological defects. The postharvest quality was evaluated and the titratable acidity found was 0.20%, 6.9oBrix soluble solids, 78.40 µg g-1 total carotenoids, and 22.69 µg g-1 ß-carotene (provitamin A). ‘BRS Paranoá’ was registered and protected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply and its seeds have been marketed by the main vegetable seeds companies in Brazil.

ABSTRACT The electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution directly affects production and quality of the plants. We evaluated the electrical conductivity suitable for soilless cultivation of kohlrabi. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, with four replicates and five treatments, composed of different nutrient solution’s conductivities (1.31, 1.71, 2.37, 2.98 and 3.75 dS m-1). We evaluated number of leaves, leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf area ratio, fresh and dry masses of leaves, bulb, roots and total, bulb volume, water content in the bulbs and pH, soluble solids, vitamin C, firmness, titratable acidity and SS/TA ratio of the bulbs. All variables related to growth were affected by the nutrient solutions, showing the highest values with the use of the nutrient solutions with EC close to 2.0 dS m-1. Considering the commercial part of the plant, the most developed bulbs were obtained with EC of 1.96 dS m-1, being 49.9 g and 41.15 cm3 per bulb. On the other hand, except for pH, the other variables responded to the increase of EC. Higher values for pulp firmness and titratable acidity occurred with EC close to 2.0 dS m-1, whereas the other variables showed higher values using a more concentrated nutrient solution.

ABSTRACT Food waste at retail and consumer level is estimated by the United Nations to be around 17% of total global food production. From that, 2% is believed to happen in retail. However, this estimate has a great degree of uncertainty due to the very small data set on which it was built, coming almost exclusively from high income countries. The present research contributes to fill this gap, presenting primary data on waste of leafy vegetables at two supermarket chains in Federal District, Brazil. Both studies evaluated: 1) number of produce items delivered and discarded; 2) visual quality of produce at reception and 3) cause of discard. The majority of the produce, 37 out of 47, had more than 80% of the units with good visual quality, but this frequency varied from 62.0 to 88.4% among stores and from 56.0 to 97.1% among suppliers. Within a global waste equal to 20.0%, the amount observed for individual produce ranged from 1.0 to 83.0% and varied considerably across stores and suppliers. The presence of wilt- rotten and yellow- wilt- rotten leaves were the first and second main causes of discard. Vegetable waste at retail level in an upper middle-income country such as Brazil can be substantial, supporting the recent change in narrative that now considers food waste to be relevant in all countries, regardless of its income.

ABSTRACT The successful intercropping with vegetables depends on the type of crops grown and on the proper handling of tested treatments, such as the time of transplanting a crop in relation to transplanting another crop, among others. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the bio-agronomic performance of eggplant and tomato for industry, in intercropping, in relation to their single crops, as a function of the transplanting time of the eggplant in relation to the tomato and of the cultivation season (summer or winter). The experimental design used was a randomized complete block with ten treatments and four replications, implanted in two growing seasons (from February to September and from August to February), where the treatments consisted of ten eggplant transplanting times (-30, -25, -20, -15, -10, -5, 0, +5, +10 and +15 days in relation to tomato transplantation). In each block, plots of eggplant monocultures were planted in each transplanting time, as well as a plot in tomato monoculture in order to obtain the bio-agronomic indices. The competition and bio-agronomic efficiency indices of the crops and of the intercropped systems were evaluated. The variation in the transplanting time of eggplant in relation to tomato significantly interferes in the bio-agronomic performance of both species. Eggplant transplanting performed between -20 and -15 days compared to tomato transplantation reduces the dominance of one crop over the other and the interspecific competition for environmental resources. The intercropped system has greater land equivalent ratio when the eggplant is transplanted at +15 days after transplanting the tomato.

ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency is common in developing countries. Sweet potato can be an ally in reversing this situation since it has a low acquisition cost and high market availability. In addition, some genotypes have orange-flesh roots, rich in beta-carotene, which is the precursor of vitamin A. Thus, the objective of this research was to select orange-fleshed sweet potato genotypes using two selection indices (Smith and Hazel and Mulamba & Mock). For this purpose, seven half-sibling families with orange flesh roots (141 experimental genotypes and the commercial cultivar Beauregard) were evaluated, assessing yield-related traits, external appearance of roots, pulp color intensity, and susceptibility to Euscepes postfasciatus. The genotypes UZBD-C-14, UZBD-U1-25, UZBD-F-15, UZBD-C-30, UZBD-K-32, UZBD-U1-10, UZBD-L2-14, and UZBD-L5-67 were the most promising, showing greater balance for the evaluated characters. Furthermore, these genotypes are suitable for new studies to confirm their productive performance and root quality and evaluate the biochemical parameters that prove the inheritance of the character regulating biofortification mediated by carotenes.

ABSTRACT Lily species are considered one of the most important cut flowers worldwide. With annual production of 282 million flowers and total value of $200 million, lily is among the top five cut flower species auctioned in the international flower stock markets. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of different planting depths on morphology, physiology, root growth and flower quality of lilies. Three hybrid lilies [Lilium × elegans; Orienpet (‘Maytime’, white) and L.A. (‘Fangio’, pink and ‘Pavia’, yellow)] were used. Deep planting at 25 cm significantly improved total and stem root systems, stem diameter and leaf area. No significant differences were noticed between planting depths for plant height, chlorophyll content, and gas exchange (photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration). Flower quality variables, specifically, vase life from deep planting were higher in 25-cm compared to 5 and 15. The ‘Maytime’ cultivar had higher leaf area, total and stem roots, flower diameter, number of days to flowering, and brighter color (L*) while the ‘Fangio’ had higher leaf number per plant, more basal roots, flower number per plant, vase life, and red color coordinate (a*). Overall, our results revealed that lily growers can increase their lily flower quality by adopting the deep planting at 25 cm.

ABSTRACT The quality of sweet potato roots is influenced by factors which precede harvest. Thus, the aim of this study was to correctly determine the harvest point and study the postharvest quality of two sweet potato cultivars harvested at different ages. The experiment was carried out at Universidade Federal de Roraima. The plants were grown from April to August, during rainy season, 2020. The harvest was carried out at 80, 95, 110, 125 and 140 days after planting (DAP). The tuberous roots were cleaned and the physicochemical traits of the pulp and peel were evaluated. Soluble solids, titratable acidity and SS/AT ratio were observed in greater quantity in the cultivar BD-02. The luminosity and chroma of the peel of the sweet potato roots were more intense in the cultivar BD-01 and the opposite was observed when characterizing the pulp of this cultivar. At 110 DAP, we verified the highest levels of reducing sugars and chroma of the peel, as well as lower values for the chroma of the pulp and °H of the peel. Thus, according to the results presented above, especially in relation to carbohydrate metabolism, productivity and dry matter accumulation, the cultivar BD-02, harvested at 110 DAP, showed the best postharvest traits under the experimental conditions presented in this study.

ABSTRACT The tomato is one of the most economically, socially and nutritionally important vegetables, presenting high added value. The culture allows high profit for the producers, but it is a high risk activity due to, specially, the sensibility of some varieties to climate conditions as well as multiple plagues and diseases that attack the culture. Therefore, the search for new hybrids with more tolerance to biotic and abiotic factors is extremely important to attend to the demand of the culture’s productive chain. The objective of this work was to demonstrate the importance of multivariate and univariate techniques in evaluating the level of similarity among hybrids of the tomato plant of the salad group with the purpose of diagnosing possible groups in relation to the variables analyzed. A total of 23 hybrids of tomato from the salad group were evaluated; of those, 9 were commercial hybrids and 14 were experimental hybrids. Throughout the conduction of the experiment, the productive characters of the culture were evaluated as well as the characteristics of the fruits and the agronomic characters of the plant. For the productive characters and the characteristics of the fruits, the multiple factor analysis was performed, and the averages were compared by the Scott-Knott test. For the agronomic characters of the plant, the exploratory data analysis was used with the correspondence analysis. The commercial hybrids studied present a high degree of similarity among them, with more than 77% of the materials with strong or high similarity with the other materials. Meanwhile, for the experimental hybrids, this result is seen in only 42.86% of the materials. The experimental hybrids 3124, 3139, and 3126 present higher divergence when compared to the other materials studied. They are, therefore, recommended to increase the genetic base of the tomato plant’s breeding program.

They are, therefore, recommended to increase the genetic base of the tomato plant’s breeding program.","PeriodicalId":56307,"journal":{"name":"Horticultura Brasileira","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46788750","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 The objective of this work was to perform simultaneous selection in sweet potato genotypes and to verify the efficiency of fuzzy systems when compared to the Mulamba & Mock (MM) method. The experiment was carried out in randomized blocks, with 24 sweet potato genotypes, four replications and ten plants per plot. The breeding values were obtained by the mixed model methodology (REML/BLUP), and then the MM index and the gains obtained by the developed fuzzy systems were estimated. There was a predominance of environmental effects over genotypic effects for all traits. These estimates suggest an expressive contribution of the environment for these traits and, consequently, greater difficulty for genetic improvement. Through this, the fuzzy systems stood out in relation to the MM method, as they presented superior selection gains for characters related to human and animal food. The genotypes with potential for human and animal food selected by the fuzzy system were: UFVJM07, UFVJM05, UFVJM09, UFVJM40, UFVJM01, UFVJM25, UFVJM15. The fuzzy logic was efficient in the simultaneous selection of sweet potato genotypes, allowing the selection of plants similar to the desirable ideotype than the MM method.

ABSTRACT ‘BRS F183’ (Potira) is a late-maturing and red skin potato cultivar, suitable for French fry processing, due to tuber high dry matter content of long oval shape, large size, light yellow flesh, and light fry color. It is also suitable for the fresh market due to its attractive tubers of intense red color, smooth skin and shallow eyes. In six trials, ‘BRS F183’ showed average tuber yields that did not differ from ‘Asterix’. The marketable yield was relatively high, reaching 98.5% in the tropical ecosystem. Larger tubers of ‘BRS F183’ than ‘Asterix’ were also observed in the autumn crop of the subtropical ecosystem. In most of the trials, the dry matter content was higher than that of ‘Asterix’, varying from 20.5 to 23.0%. A very low incidence of tuber disorders was observed in ‘BRS F183’, with the secondary growth lower than ‘Asterix’. ‘BRS F183’ presented medium tuber dormancy. Tuber glucose content suitable for French fry processing (≤1.2 mg g-1 of fresh mass) was shown by ‘BRS F183’ after harvest and storage at 7.5°C, 8.9°C and 20°C for up to 180 days, while ‘Asterix’ was suitable up to 120 days after storage at 8.9ºC. ‘BRS F183’ is moderately resistant to early blight and moderately susceptible to late blight. It is susceptible to PVY, PLRV, and root-knot nematode. Field observations indicate that resistance/susceptibility to soft rot, black scurf, and bacterial wilt of ‘BRS F183’ is not different from the main cultivars grown in the country. However, higher susceptibility to common scab was shown in some validation tests. ‘BRS F183’ was released in 2020 by Embrapa, as a product of the breeding program developed by Embrapa Temperate Agriculture and Embrapa Vegetables.
