The aim was to study during a year, the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the thinning Caatinga grazing sheep at continuous stocking, in Serra Talhada-PE. The research consisted of data collection of vegetation and sheep, in 38 hectares of Caatinga from a private farm. We evaluated the herbage mass, herbal chemical composition, botanical composition, bare soil, litter, plants height, stocking rate, animal performance and herbage allowance. Herbage mass ranged from 422 ± 42 to 1262 ± 95 kg DM.ha-1within the period January 2011 to January 2012, which led to decreased herbage allowance (13,1± 1,3 a 56,4± 4,2 kg MS.kg PV- 1 ). The weight gain of sheep observed was 2.0 ± 2.2 kg. head-1 .period-1 and 3.8 ± 4.0 kg.ha-1 .period-1 . The litter during the dry season was higher in October 2011 (38.8 ± 4.1%) and January 2012 (41.4 ± 4.3%). Increased values were observed on bare soil, mainly in dry season, averaging 24.4 ± 1.5%. With the advance of the dry season, the concentrations of DM, NDF, ADF and TC of pasture increased, while the CP, MM, and NFC decreased. In general, the Caatinga show varieties in the range of herbage mass, forage chemical composition, and animal performance, over the year.

A pesquisa consistiu em levantamento de dados da vegetação e dos ovinos em 38 hectares de Caatinga em propriedade particular. Foi avaliada a massa de forragem, composição bromatológica e botânica, solo descoberto, serrapilheira, altura média de plantas, taxa de lotação, desempenho animal e oferta de forragem. A massa de forragem variou de 422 ± 42 a 1.262 ± 95 kg MS.ha-1 no período de janeiro/2011 a janeiro/2012, com consequente variação da oferta de forragem de 13,1 ± 1,3 a 56,4 ± 4,2 kg MS.kg PV-1. O ganho de peso vivo dos ovinos observados foram 2,0 ± 2,2 kg.cabeça-1.ciclo-1 e 3,8 ± 4,0 kg.ha-1.ciclo-1. A serrapilheira no período seco foi maior nos meses de outubro/2011 (38,8 ± 4,1%) e janeiro/2012 (41,4 ± 4,3%). Elevados valores de solo descoberto foram observados principalmente ao longo do período seco, apresentando em média 24,4 ± 1,5 % em relação ao período total. Com o avanço do período seco os teores de MS, FDN, FDA e CHOT do pasto aumentaram, enquanto que os teores de PB, MM e CNF reduziram. A Caatinga raleada apresenta variações, ao longo do ano, na massa de forragem, composição bromatológica e desempenho animal.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the sowing periods in production , productivity component and physiological quality of seeds of three soybean cultivars (TMG133RR, P98Y70RR and NS7670RR) in Orthic Quartzarenic Neosoil in the cerrado region. The design used was a randomized block a factorial scheme design with four repetitions, and each plot with useful space consisted of three rows of four meters length, spaced at 0.45 meters. Field evaluations were the final stand, the height of the plants, height of the first pod insertion, the mass of 100 seeds and productivity. Already in the lab seeds were evaluated for germination and vigor (first germination count, emergency, emergence speed index, length and dry mass of the aerial part of the plant and roots, electrical conductivity, accelerated aging and tetrazolium test). It concludes that it is possible to use Orthic Quartzarenic Neosoils , located in the Cerrado region at altitudes higher than 600 m, in years and places with good water distribution in the spring - summer seasons, for grain and soybeans production, but as a first goal, the crop should be sown in the first 20 days of November otherwise it should take place in early December.

O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados num esquema fatorial com quatro repetições, sendo cada parcela com área útil constituída por três linhas com quatro metros de comprimento, no espaçamento de 0,45 m. As avaliações no campo foram estande final, altura de plantas, altura de inserção da primeira vagem, massa de 100 sementes e produtividade. No laboratório, as sementes foram avaliadas quanto à porcentagem de germinação e vigor (primeira contagem de germinação, emergência, índice de velocidade de emergência, comprimento e massa seca de parte aérea e raiz, condutividade elétrica, envelhecimento acelerado e tetrazólio). Conclui-se que é possível a utilização de Neossolos Quartzarênicos Órticos, localizados em região de cerrado com altitude superior a 600 m, em anos e locais com boa distribuição hídrica na primavera-verão, para produção de grãos e sementes de soja, sendo que no primeiro objetivo, a cultura deve ser semeada nos primeiros 20 dias de novembro e no segundo caso, essa deve ocorrer no inicio de dezembro.

The study evaluated potato tuber yield and quality, using cultivar Atlantic, as a function of organomineral fertilizer doses applied in the planting furrow. The experiments were done in Cristalina, Goiás, in winter and summer cultive. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with six doses in the winter experiment and seven doses in the summer one, both with four replications. The doses were fixed according to the recommendation for mineral fertilizer. The doses evaluated were 2800 kg ha - 1 of formulation 3 - 32 - 6, 1629.10, 2443.60, 4072.70 and 4887.30 kg ha - 1 of organomineral fertilizer, corresponding to 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120% of the mineral fertilizer dose. A treatment with no fertilizer (control) was included in the summer experiment . Fertilizers were applied in the planting furrow. Side dressing fertilization was done 30 DAP, in winter crop, with 300 kg ha - 1 of formulation 20 - 00 - 20. Tubers were harvested, classified, weighed and yield (kg ha - 1 ) was determined at the end of the experiment. Results of winter crop were greater than those of sum- mer, for yield and tuber classification. Organomineral fertilizer, in the dose 4072.70 kg ha - 1 , representing 100% of the mineral one, increased the yield of tubers Class Special. Winter crop presented good results for soluble solids contents.

Os experimentos foram conduzidos em Cristalina-Goiás nas safras de inverno (2013) e das águas (2013/2014). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com 6 doses e 4 repetições na safra de inverno, totalizando 24 parcelas. Na safra das águas o experimento constituiu de 7 doses e 4 repetições, totalizando 28 parcelas. As doses de organomineral foram fixadas de acordo com a recomendação mediante análise do solo para fertilizante mineral. As doses testadas foram: 2800 kg ha-1 do formulado 3-32-6; 1629,10; 2443,60; 4072,70; e 4887,30 kg ha-1 do fertilizante organomineral correspondente a 40, 60, 80, 100 e 120% da dose de fertilizante mineral. Na safra das águas foi incluído um tratamento testemunha (sem adubação). Os fertilizantes organomineral e mineral foram aplicados em sulco de plantio. Aos 30 DAP, na safra de inverno, foram acrescidos 300 kg ha-1 do formulado 20-00-20, em cobertura. A produtividade e classificação dos tubérculos foram estimadas na massa fresca e no diâmetro dos tubérculos, respectivamente. Os resultados obtidos na safra de inverno foram superiores para todas as características avaliadas. A dose 4072,70 kg ha-1 de organomineral equivalente a 100% da dose mineral proporcionou maior produtividade e melhor qualidade de tubérculos nas safras avaliadas. Em relação ao teor de sólidos solúveis, a safra de inverno apresentou resultados mais satisfatórios.
