Lettuce is one of the most produced and consumed leafy vegetables in Brazil. It is harvested when the plant reaches full vegetative growth and the leaves are still tender and there are no signs of bolting. The plant is unsuitable for commercialization after this period, thus, a food that is rich in vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds such as carotenoid is lost. Therefore, the objective of this work was to assess the purple lettuce quality based on physical-chemical characteristics, in three different ages. The experiment was conducted in an urban community garden in Sete Lagoas MG, Brazil. A completely randomized experimental design was used with three replications. The treatments consisted of three development stages (20, 30 and 40 days after transplanting - DAT). The treatment with 40 DAT presented total carotenoids concentration and soluble solids content significantly higher, lower pH, and darker lettuce, with lower values of the parameter b* (increase in yellow color), and higher values of the parameter a* (increase in red color), compared to the first two treatments. The titratable acidity was statistically equal for the three evaluation periods. Considering the high concentration of carotenoids found at 40 DAT, the harvest can take place at this age.

RESUMO: A alface é uma das hortaliças folhosas mais produzidas e consumidas no Brasil. A colheita ocorre no período em que a planta atinge o crescimento vegetativo máximo, as folhas ainda estão tenras e sem indícios de pendoamento. Após este período, a planta é considerada inadequada para a comercialização, perdendo-se um alimento rico em vitaminas, sais minerais e composto bioativos, como os carotenóides. Desta forma, este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade com base em mudanças físico-químicas em uma cultivar de alface roxa durante três idades diferentes. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em uma horta comunitária urbana no município de Sete Lagoas -MG. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente ao acaso com três repetições sendo os tratamentos os três estádios de desenvolvimento (20, 30 e 40 dias após transplantio - DAT). Aos 40 DAT, a concentração de carotenóides totais e o teor de sólidos solúveis totais foram significativamente superiores, o pH foi menor; e a alface se tornou mais escura, apresentando menores valores do parâmetro b* (incremento da cor amarela) e maiores valores do parâmetro a* (incremento da coloração vermelha), diferindo significativamente das duas primeiras colheitas. A acidez titulável foi igual estatisticamente nas três épocas de avaliação. Considerando o alto conteúdo de carotenóides observado aos 40 DAT, pode-se considerar a colheita nesta idade. | ABSTRACT: Lettuce is one of the most produced and consumed leafy vegetables in Brazil.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the gas exchange, leaf temperature, yield and water use efficiency in 'Tommy Atkins' mango under irrigation deficit strategies. The experimental design was randomized block, with seven treatments with regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) under micro - spray and five treatments with partial root - zone drying (PRD) under drip irrigation. The treatments on RDI consisted of application of 100, 75 and 50% of ETc at the stages S1 (beginning of flowering to fruit set) S2 (fruit development) and S3 (fruit physiological maturation). The treatments on PRD consisted of application of 100, 80, 60 and 40% of ETc, in the same three stages, alternating the irrigation side every 15 days. The regulated deficit irrigation causes less negative interference in gas exchange than the partial root - zone drying, and the climate factors affect the gas exchange and leaf temperature of 'Tommy Atkins' mango more than the regulated deficit irrigation. The partial root - zone drying irrigation with 60 and 40% of ETc causes a decrease in the 'Tommy Atkins' mango yield. The regulated deficit irrigation up to 50% of ETc, applied at the fruit maturation stage, maintain the yield and water use efficiency.

The Cerrado occupies 25% of the Brazilian territory and is the second largest biome in South America, second only to the Amazon Rainforest. Hence, studies on the native species of the Cerrado are important for implementing conservation strategies. In this context, knowledge of the requirements and conditions for germination of seeds of these native species is essential. The Cerrado watermelon ( Melothria campestris (Naudin) H. Schaef. & S.S. Renner) is a plant that is not cultivated, but has been used in revegetation projects in the countryside of the Cerrado because its fruits are fed upon by fauna in times of food shortage. The purpose of this study was to determine the most appropriate methodology for the germination of the Cerrado watermelon, by identifying the best - suited substrate, the optimal temperature, and the corresponding time taken for germination . The treatments consisted of four substrates: in a paper roll, on paper, in sand, and on sand; and four temperatures: 20, 25, and 30 °C (maintained constant), and a fourth temperature treatment that alternated 20 - 30 °C. The effect of the substrates and temperatures on seed performance was evaluated using the germination test, speed index, and average time for germination. The experimental design was fully randomized, with treatments distributed in a 4 × 4 (substrates × temperatures) factorial scheme, with four replications. Our results show that the temperature of 20 °C had a negative influence on germination in all substrates. Further, we found that the germination of the Cerrado watermelon seeds was best in a paper roll or on sand substrate, maintained at a constant temperature of 30 °C, or when temperature was alternated 20 - 30 °C, and the time required for germination stabilization was 30 days.

Rural communities located in the Brazilian Northeast, especially in the semiarid zone, live with water shortages resulting from erratic rainfall. This work proposes the cultivation of saltbush ( Atriplex nummularia ) in the Rural Settlement Project of Boa Fé, Mossoró/RN as alternative to the disposal of reject brine from desalination plant on yield of forage. The statistical design was a split - plot design, being four treatments at the plots, related to irrigation with reject brine water, at different levels of soil moisture by moisture from Field Capacity (FC) (100, 85, 70 and 50% of FC) and in subplots and two levels of organic manure (without fertilized and fertilized) with four replications. The variables of yield and forage quality of saltbush were analyzed. It was observed that saltbush has a great production capacity in terms of fresh matter and drought for saltbush under a level of 85% soil moisture in relation to the field capacity of soil, presenting minimal loss of yield; however, this proved to be productive even with the dry soil. The total yield was satisfactory, showing its viability for forage production.

RESUMO: As comunidades rurais situadas no Nordeste brasileiro, em especial na região semiárida, convivem com a escassez de água resultante da irregularidade das chuvas nesta região. O presente trabalho propôs cultivar a erva sal (Atriplex nummularia) no Projeto de assentamento Rural Boa Fé, Mossoró/RN como alternativa à deposição do rejeito salino para a produção de forragem. O delineamento estatístico foi parcelas subdivididas, sendo quatro tratamentos nas parcelas, referentes a irrigação com rejeito salino em diferentes níveis de umidade do solo tendo como base a umidade na Capacidade de Campo (CC) (100, 85, 70 e 50% da CC) e nas subparcelas, dois níveis de adubação orgânica (não adubado e adubado), com quatro repetições. Foram analisadas variáveis de produção e qualidade da forragem da erva sal. Observou-se que, a erva sal possui boa capacidade de produção de matéria fresca e seca sob um nível de 85% de umidade do solo em relação à sua capacidade de campo, apresentando mínimas perdas de rendimento, porém, mostrou-se produtiva mesmo com o solo mais seco. A produtividade total foi satisfatória mostrando sua viabilidade para a produção de forragem. | ABSTRACT: Rural communities located in the Brazilian Northeast, especially in the semiarid zone, live with water shortages resulting from erratic rainfall.

This study evaluated the growth and agro - industrial productivity of sugarcane varieties subjected to different irrigation levels in the county of Penápolis - São Paulo, Brazil. The experimental design was a randomized block with a factorial arrangement of 2 × 7 (two cultivars of sugarcane: RB965902 and RB855453, at seven irrigation levels: L0 = 0%, L1 = 25%, L2 = 50%, L3 = 75%, L4 = 100%, L5 = 125%, and L6 = 150% of crop evapotranspiration - ETc) with four replicates. The irrigation system was a subsurface drip at a flow rate of 1.4 L h - 1 . The variables evaluated were tillering, culm length, leaf area index (LAI), dry matter, and industrial productivity. The maximum number of plants per linear meter was 30 for variety RB965902 at 100% ETc, and 29 for variety RB855453 at 125% of ETc. Maximum tillering occurred at 120 and 150 days after planting (DAP) for RB965902 and RB855453, respectively. The maximum LAI of BR965902 was 9.57 at 210 DAP and 9.81 at 201 DAP for the RB855453 variety. The RB855453 variety produced an average of 178.93 t ha - 1 with irrigation and 164.81 t ha - 1 without, while the variety RB965902 produced 164.08 t ha - 1 and 154.61 t ha - 1 with and without irrigation, respectively. At harvest, the total recoverable sugars (TRS) were 129.62 kg t - 1 for RB965902 and 131.63 kg t - 1 for RB855443. The RB855453 variety produced on average 14.19 t ha - 1 more than the RB965902 variety.

Prickly palm cactus husk was used as a solid - state fermentation support substrate for the production of cellulolytic enzymes using Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus sp. A Box - Behnken design was used to evaluate the effects of water activity, fermentation time and temperature on endoglucanase and total cellulase production. Response Surface Methodology showed that optimum conditions for endoglucanase production were achieved at after 70.35 h of fermentation at 29.56°C and a water activity of 0.875 for Aspergillus niger and after 68.12 h at 30.41°C for Rhizopus sp. Optimum conditions for total cellulase production were achieved after 74.27 h of fermentation at 31.22°C for Aspergillus niger and after 72.48 h and 27.86°C for Rhizopus sp . Water activity had a significant effect on Aspergillus niger endoglucanase production only. In industrial applications, enzymatic characterization is important for optimizing variables such as temperature and pH. In this study we showed that endoglucanase and total cellulase had a high level of thermostability and pH stability in all the enzymatic extracts. Enzymatic deactivation kinetic experiments indicated that the enzymes remained active after the freezing of the crude extract. Based on the results, bioconversion of cactus is an excellent alternative for the production of thermostable enzymes.

Nitrogen (N) is one of the nutrients that have the most significant effect on corn grain productivity increase. In order to evaluate the effect of sources of N topdressing and doses in the grown corn culture, in a conventional till system, it was installed an experiment in the city of Urutaí, Goiás, in the 2012/13 crop, in clayey textured Red Latosol. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with four replications, with the treatments arranged in a factorial 3 x 5, consisting of three sources (coated urea, urea and ammonium sulfate) and five doses (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg ha - 1 ) of N, topdressing, applied in the surface and in a single dose, when the corn plants were in V 4 stage. The hybrid used was the P3646H. We evaluated the following characters: stem diameter, plant height, height of ear insertion, leaf N, number of ears per plant, ear length, number of rows per ear, number of grains per row, 100 grains mass and grain productivity. All characters have a response to nitrogen fertilization and only the height of ear insertion showed no significant difference between sources. The source coated urea showed the best results, indicating that its use may be compensatory, especially in favorable conditions for the NH 3 volatilization, as the application of high doses of N in the surface.

Irrigation using produced water, which is generated during crude oil and gas recovery and treated by the exploration industry, could be an option for irrigated agriculture in semiarid regions. To determine the viability of this option, the effects of this treated water on the nutritional status of plants should be assessed. For this purpose, we examined the nutritional changes in sunflowers after they were irrigated with oil - produced water and the effects of this water on plant biomass and seed production. The sunflower cultivar BRS 321 was grown for three crop cycles in areas irrigated with filtered produced water (FPW), reverse osmosis - treated produced water (OPW), or ground water (GW). At the end of each cycle, roots, shoots, and seeds were collected to examine their nutrient concentrations. Produced water irrigation affected nutrient accumulation in the sunflower plants. OPW irrigation promoted the accumulation of Ca, Na, N, P, and Mg. FPW irrigation favored the accumulation of Na in both roots and shoots, and biomass and seed production were negatively affected. The Na in the shoots of plants irrigated with FPW increased throughout the three crop cycles. Under controlled conditions, it is possible to reuse reverse osmosis - treated produced water in agriculture. However, more long - term research is needed to understand its cumulative effects on the chemical and biological properties of the soil and crop production.

In two simultaneous experiments, we evaluated the impact of brackish irrigation water and nitrogen (N) fertilization on the production of citrus (scion-rootstock combinations) and its associated gas exchanges. These experiments were conducted at the Campus of Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil in a protected environment (shade screens on the sides) using drainage lysimeters. Experiment I used a randomized block design (3 replicates), in a 5 × 3 factorial arrangement, corresponding to five water salinity levels (0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, and 3.0 dS m-1) and three scion-rootstock combinations: RS1– Common Sunki mandarin (TSKC) × Poncirus trifoliata English (TRENG) - 256; RS2– Common Rangpur lime (LCRSTC); and RS3– TSKC × (Rangpur lime (LCR) × P. trifoliata (TR)) - 059; with Mimo do Céu orange as the scion variety. Experiment II used a randomized block design (3 replicates), in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, corresponding to the three scion/rootstock combinations and two nitrogen (N) doses (100 and 200 mg kg-1 of soil). Plants were irrigated with water of 3.0 dS m-1. For both experiments, gas exchanges and mean mass of fruits were evaluated at harvest. Gas exchanges were inhibited in plants under saline stress. Plants grafted with Common Rangpur lime showed greater production potential than did the other genotypes studied, even under brackish water conditions.

RESUMO: Em dois experimentos simultâneos, avaliou-se o impacto da irrigação com água salinizadas e da adubação nitrogenada (N) sobre a produção de citros (combinações copa/porta-enxerto) e suas trocas gasosas. Estes experimentos foram realizados no Campus da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Brasil, em um ambiente protegido (telas de sombrite nas laterais), utilizando lisímetros de drenagem. No Experimento I utilizou-se um delineamento em blocos casualizados (3 repetições), em esquema fatorial 5 x 3, correspondendo a cinco níveis de salinidade da água (0,6; 1,2; 1,8; 2,4 e 3,0 dS m-1) e três combinações de copa/porta-enxertos: RS1 - Sunki comum mandarim (TSKC) x Poncirus trifoliata Inglês (Treng) - 256; RS2 - Comum limão Cravo (LCR TC); e RS3 - TSKC × (limão Cravo (LCR) × P. trifoliata (TR)) - 059; com Mimo do Céu laranja como a variedade copa. No Experimento II utilizou um delineamento em blocos casualizados (3 repetições), em esquema fatorial 3 x 2, correspondendo a três combinações de copa/porta-enxerto e duas doses de nitrogênio (N) (100 e 200 mg kg-1 de solo). As plantas foram irrigadas com água de 3,0 dS m-1. Em ambos os experimentos, as trocas gasosas e a massa média dos frutos foram avaliados na colheita. As trocas gasosas foram inibidas em plantas sob estresse salino. Plantas enxertadas com limoeiro Cravo Comum apresentaram maior potencial de produção quando comparado aos outros genótipos estudados, mesmo em condições de água salina. | ABSTRACT: In two simultaneous experiments, we evaluated the impact of brackish irrigation water and nitrogen (N) fertilization on the production of citrus (scion-rootstock combinations) and its associated gas exchanges.

RESUMO: Com o objetivo de avaliar diferentes substratos orgânicos, doses de fósforo no crescimento e teor foliar de nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio em portaenxertos de Tamarindus indica L., conduziu-se um experimento em um viveiro telado localizado no campus da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), no período de março a outubro de 2013. Os tratamentos constaram de: três fontes orgânicas na proporção de 40 % v.v1, (esterco bovino, esterco caprino e um composto orgânico comercial) em quatro doses de superfosfato simples (0,0 kg m-3, 2,5 kg m-3, 5,0 kg m-3, 7,5 kg m-3). O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento de blocos casualizados (DBC), com 12 tratamentos (substratos), quatro repetições e 10 plantas por parcela, perfazendo um total de 480 plantas. O esterco caprino e o composto orgânico foram os mais adequados para a produção de portaenxerto de tamarindeiro. A dose máxima de 7,5 g kg-1 de superfosfato simples proporcionou os maiores teores de fósforo e potássio na massa seca da parte aérea. O acúmulo de nutrientes na massa seca da parte aérea obedece a seguinte ordem: N > K > P. | ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate different organic substrates and phosphorus doses on the growth and leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in rootstocks of Tamarindus indica L.
