The search for higher yields, lower production costs, and increased sustainability in agriculture implies optimizing crop nutritional management. In this sense, basalt dust has shown potential to improve soil fertility nutrition. Thus, the goal was evaluate use of a controlled environment. First, an experiment carried out on soils with contrasting textures (sandy medium) under random design, four replications. These were incubated doses 90 days, later analyzed chemical properties. Then,...
Stored product pests are controlled primarily through applying pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides or fumigation with phosphine (PH3). However, several populations of weevils resistant to these insecticides. Essential oils appear be safe alternatives for both humans the environment. The objective was investigate toxicity Piper aduncum essential oil (PAEO) Sitophilus zeamais evaluate its effects on corn grain quality during four-month storage period. This study conducted in two...
The correct classification of individuals is extremely important for the preservation genetic variability and maximization yield in breeding programs using phenotypic traits markers. Fisher Anderson discriminant functions are commonly used multivariate statistical techniques these situations, which allow allocation an initially unknown individual to predefined groups. However, higher levels similarity, such as those found backcrossed populations, methods have proven be inefficient. Recently,...
This study aimed to assess the efficiency of use α-pinene and essential oils Gaultheria procumbens, Juniperus communis, Protium heptaphyllum, pallidum in treating corn seeds (Zea mays) under storage conditions for management Sitophilus zeamais. Contact toxicity, fumigation, repellency, persistence, residual effects targeted oil phytocompound on germination were performed. G. procumbens oil, high methyl salicylate (96%), was most toxic contact tests, with an LC50 26.83 µL/20 g. P....
Ozone is a recognized alternative to the fumigants methyl bromide and phosphine for control of stored product insects. However, as with in general, potential sublethal effects ozone on targeted insect species may compromise its efficacy has yet be investigated. Here, we determined toxicity 30 field-collected populations maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), assessed walking response adult insects from these exposure. Time-mortality at 50 ppm concentration continuous 2...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence moisture and drying temperature on physical properties macauba kernels. experiment set up in a split-plot design, with (60 °C, 70 80 90 °C) assigned plots (4.3%, 5.3%, 6.0%, 7.0%, 8.9% b.u.) subplots, completely randomized design (CRD) nine replications for variables (Ci, E, Dg, Ap, S, ρu, ε, ψ) four variable ρa. During process, geometric diameter, sphericity, roundness, projected surface area, apparent specific mass, total...
Zinc (Zn) is crucial for both plant metabolism and human nutrition, with its deficiency being a global health concern. Strategies to increase availability in food, such as agronomic biofortification, have gained prominence. This study evaluated the impact of foliar spraying Zn [at full bloom stage: 0 (control) 600 g ha−1, ZnSO4⋅7H2O] on nutritional quality cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) grains. Field experiments involving 20 genotypes were carried out over two seasons Typic...
Nowadays, the modified atmosphere with ozone is one of main alternatives for controlling insect pests in stored grains, as it allows grain quality to be maintained while causing no environmental damage. In light this, purpose this study was assess toxicity C. maculatus cowpea grains well how affects physiological and physical properties grains. The determined by estimating lethal doses (mg/g) at top bottom fumigation chamber 50% 95% adult insects (LD50 LD95). Cowpea samples were removed...
This study aimed to develop a multivariate selection index based on the graphical area of polygon formed by standardized values, also known as radar chart. methodology may be used assist superior genotypes in sugarcane breeding programs. Seven technological traits 37 were evaluated. An (AI) was constructed and resulting areas rank under selection. In this study, we propose use restricted maximum likelihood estimate genetic parameters mixed model equations predict genotypic values. The each...
Alternatives for the control of insect pests in grain processing and storage units are necessary to maintain characteristics product decrease environmental impact. Although toxic effects ozone on some stored products already known, there is little information about their inside column. This study aimed evaluate Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabr.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) by gas wheat grains. Ozone was applied at a concentration 1.61 mg L-1 flow rate 2.0 L min-1 Inside column, insects were placed...
A bovinocultura de corte apresenta destaque na economia nacional. Isso se dá pelas novas técnicas e sistemas que permitem o aumento produtividade animal. Uma delas é a utilização melhoramento genético dos animais produção. Portanto, objetivou-se apresentar discorrer modo comparativo viabilidade econômica produtiva, durante fase cria, bezerros provindos do cruzamento industrial (Nelore x Angus) puros Nelore). Foram acompanhados cria 28 machos fêmeas sendo para cada categoria 14 da raça Nelore...
Macauba fruits are oil-rich drupes with high moisture content at harvest. This feature can affect the chemical properties of oil and increase costs biodiesel production. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt postharvest strategies ensure quality. The aim this work was evaluate effect drying macauba fruit on quality pulp oil. Husked dehusked were dried 60°C then stored. At 0, 15, 45, 100, 180 days after storage, samples retrieved, from evaluated for physicochemical parameters. removal husk...
