Sugarcane production has increased in recent years mainly because of the demand for ethanol. Soil preparation in areas where sugarcane has not been planted yet can increase productivity by improving physical and chemical characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of soil tillage on agronomic traits and productivity of sugarcane. The experiment was conducted in the municipality of Goianésia (GO) on a Red-Yellow Latosol of medium texture using the CTC-2 variety. The experimental design was randomized blocks with six treatments and four replications. The treatments were: T1) desiccation + moldboard plow + harrow, T2) moldboard plow + harrow, T3) harrow + moldboard plow + harrow, T4) no-till, T5) subsoiler, and T6) harrow + disc plow + harrow. The number, diameter, height and productivity of stalks were evaluated. The treatment which resulted in the highest number of stalks was harrow + moldboard plow + harrow; however, this treatment was differed only from the treatment with moldboard plow + harrow. The seedbed preparation with desiccation + moldboard plow + harrow and also harrow + disk plow + harrow provided the highest yield of sugarcane stalks. The no-till treatment proved to be a viable alternative, since it did not differ in productivity from treatments that provided the highest yields. It is a more economical form of cultivation when compared to the other treatments studied in this work.

Beer is one of the alcoholic beverage most consumed in Brazil and is related to the generation of income in the country. However, the most consumed beers are currently the type lager and larges in mass production. However, there beers on the market with different processing and more delicate ingredients, special calls. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the consumption of beer in the southern cities of Goiás and understand the place of the special beers that context. For that were used online forms with mandatory and closed questions on socioeconomic aspects of consumers, the consumption of beer and also peculiarities of consumption. It was noted that 78% of beer drinkers were hormens, and that, in general, consumers were young adults and belonged to social classes C and D and that beer consumption habits are higher on weekends and holidays. 50% of consumers said they never consumed craft beer and were higher income. 51% of them said to note the differences between the special beers and mass production, but in general is not easy to find these beers on the market. It was noted at the end that beer is a product that appeals to consumers in the region and the special beer if it were more widespread and accessible could be marketed more frequently.

Mangaba tree (H. speciosa) is a fruit tree, from Brazil and it is found in various regions of Brazil, since coastal tablelands and lower coastal of Northeast and Savanna of West Center and Southeast regions. This search is conducted with the objective to characterize fruit of different plants and areas of natural occurrences and in each one, randomly; trees in full production were selected. Among these plants, at about twelve fruit were collected. Then, five ripe fruit per plant were separated, and evaluated the characteristics such as: mass, diameter transversal and along the length, number of seeds and total mass of seeds per fruit. The data had been submitted to the analysis of variance and the average was compared by the Tukey test at 5% of probability. The Hancornia speciosa trees present high levels of phenotypic variation as physic characteristics of fruit between and inside areas. The remanescent areas, mangaba trees occurrence, where were collected the samples, has different performance as fruit mass.Â

Among the numerous studies dealing with the issue of family succession, the majority cities the succession process as a key issue in social reproduction and perpetuation of family farms. Thus, the study aimed to identify the actual situation among academics of UFFS Agronomy Course and their parents when the topic family succession is placed in focus. The methodology used was the application of a structured survey prepared in order to answer the doubts. The survey was designed in online way being sent an access link to the e-mail address previously, and then collected from every academic who had links with the countryside. For others, it was printed, delivered, and then collected. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. As a result was obtained that even though there are differences of opinion, the vast majority of young people show comfortable in become a farmer and to continue the current business of the parents. Over 83% of men and 92% of women in the parent class intend to hold family succession still alive, and the children respect this opinion giving autonomy to the parents to carry out the succession when they consider most appropriate.Keywords: family succession, family farming, youth
