The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a key pest of maize (Zea mays L.) crop, and invariably demand control measures.However, the time insecticide application has not been properly defined, leading to an inefficiency in and, therefore, without getting maximum from treatment procedure.Many times reaching population density that would measure very early season.To detect such populations decide about application, experiment was conducted installing...
Water availability is a limiting factor for plant production, especially in Brazilian semi-arid regions.

Physiological variables evaluated (percentage germination, normal...
This study aimed to evaluate the performance of different thermal scarification methods overcome Piptadenia moniliformis seeds dormancy. The treatments used were: control (no treatment - T1); seed immersion in water at 80 and 100 °C for 10 (T2 T6, respectively), 30 (T3 T7, respectively) 60 (T4 T8, seconds; until cooling room temperature (28 °C) (T5), (T9). were placed germination boxes with transparent lid, containing blotting paper substrate, which was moistened Nystatin solution. Later,...
The knowledge of the flow parasitoids in cultivated areas is a practice that should be adopted for choosing best method regulation pest populations. objective this study was to determine occurrence associated with lepidopterous larvae Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Noctuidae) and Dichomeris famulata Meyrick (Gelechiidae) maize under organic conventional production system. experiment conducted at National Research Center Maize Sorghum (CNPMS) Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais State, Brazil....
Degradation of Caatinga biome has created desertification processes in several areas, inducing big microclimate and surface changes. Therefore, it is fundamental develop research methods capable identifying areas under degradation process. Satellite images different spatial, temporal, radiometric spectral resolutions are being used to monitor from biomes worldwide. The objective this study was evaluate quantify the degree preservation biome, using geoprocessing remote sensing products, data...
Cover crops (CCs) have demonstrated their significance in enhancing the agronomic and economic performance of corn succession. In this paper, we assess responses short-term returns adopting cover for cultivation sandy soils semiarid region northeast Brazil, with aim addressing additional challenges CCs adoption regions. The field study was conducted Arapiraca, Alagoas, under no-tillage conditions two cropping seasons. A randomized complete block design employed, comprising six (sunn hemp,...
Abiotic stresses, such as water limitation, are significant limiting factors in basil production. One alternative to mitigate the harmful effects of this stress on plants is using plant growth regulators. This study’s objective evaluate different doses regulators under deficiency conditions. A randomized block experimental design a factorial scheme with two was used: first factor referred regimes 50% and 100% stomatal conductance, second regulator mixture: 0 mL L−1 (control), 3 L−1, 6 9 12...
Cover crops have gained attention due to their potential benefits for the soil and physiological performance of subsequent crops. This study aimed evaluate productive aspects maize grown in succession cover northeastern Brazil. A randomized complete block design with four repetitions was employed, which treatments consisted following crops: sunn hemp, spectabilis, pigeon pea, Brachiaria sp., jack bean, millet, fallow. Physiological production components were evaluated at tasseling (VT)...
- O Instituto de Conservação Internacional do Brasil estima uma redução da Caatinga 90% no estado Alagoas. Logo, o reflorestamento surge como medida para recuperação destas áreas. No entanto, sabe-se que a época coleta das sementes plantas nativas é muito variável. Dessa forma, armazenamento um processo imprescindível em programas reflorestamento. objetivo deste estudo foi verificar interferência período seis meses diferentes embalagens (plástico grosso e papel kraft) dois locais...
O cultivo do milho doce apresenta alta demanda de nitrogênio, e por ser uma cultura com grande potencial expansão, são necessários estudos que demonstrem manejos eficientes da adubação nitrogenada para aumento produtividade, como o uso bactérias promotoras crescimento plantas capazes fixar nitrogênio atmosférico, desonerando processo produtivo.

ABSTRACT: Determining actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa) is paramount for irrigation management. The principal measurement methods and physical models generally require weather data that are not readily available.
