Los objetivos de este estudio fueron determinar la asociación entre rasgos de la canal y el rendimiento en cortes (RCD), rendimiento en hueso y recortes de grasa en búfalos de agua, y desarrollar ecuaciones predictivas para cada variable mencionada. Se utilizaron 48 búfalos de agua (24 castrados y 24 enteros), sacrificados a los 17, 19 y 24 meses de edad con mestizaje de razas Murrah y Mediterránea. Se evaluaron las variables de la canal y del rendimiento en cortes. Se realizaron: pruebas descriptivas, análisis de correlación, residuos y de regresión lineal múltiple. En los castrados, el acabado de grasa y la circunferencia del muslo explicaron la mayor variación en RCD. El espesor de grasa y el porcentaje de grasa renal fueron las variables mayormente asociadas con el rendimiento en hueso. En los enteros, el acabado de grasa y la longitud de la canal explicaron la mayor variación en RCD. El recorte de grasa se asoció más con acabado de grasa, y el rendimiento en hueso se asoció con la conformación. Las ecuaciones obtenidas lograron explicar más del 50% de la variación del RCD. Las ecuaciones para recorte de grasa y rendimiento en hueso tuvieron mayor fuerza predictiva. | The objectives of this study were to determine the association between carcass traits and the percentage yield in boneless cuts (PDC), bone, and fat trimmings of water buffalves; and to develop predicted equations for these variables. Forty-eight crossbred Murrah-Mediterránea buffaloes (24 steers and 24 bulls) were used slaughtered at 17, 19 and 24 months. Carcass and retail-yield-cut traits were evaluated. The following analyses were made: descriptive test, correlation, residual and multiple lineal regression. In castrated animals, subcutaneous fat and circumference round explained the majority of the variation in PDC. The dorsal fat thickness and the renal fat were the variables mostly associated with bone yield. In bulls, the subcutaneous fat and the carcass length explained most of the variation of PDC. The fat trimmings showed the highest correlation coefficient with the subcutaneous fat, and the bone yield was most correlated with the conformation. The equations obtained explained more than 50% of the variation in PCD, however equations for bone yield and fat trimmings showed a higher R².

No período de junho a novembro de 1999, conduziu-se este trabalho em casa-de-vegetação do DSER/CCA/UFPB, no município de Areia, PB, com o objetivo de se avaliar os efeitos de sais na água de irrigação em relação a algumas características do desenvolvimento da cultura do tomateiro (Lycopersicum esculentum sp), cultivar Santa Rosa. Utilizou-se água proveniente do açude de Jacaré, no município de Remígio, PB, com condutividade elétrica de 24,5 dS m-1. Os tratamentos se constituíram de: água de chuva (T1 - 0,01 dS m-1) e diluições da água do açude com água de chuva, nas proporções de 1:4 (T2 - 5,7 dS m-1), 1:3 (T3 - 6,8 dS m-1), 1:2 (T4 - 8,3 dS m-1),1:1 (T5 - 12,7 dS m-1) e 1:0 (T6 - 24,5 dS m-1). Adotou-se o delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, com três repetições, sendo a unidade experimental com capacidade para 20 L, contendo 15 kg de solo secado ao ar. Os eventos de irrigação variaram de um a dois dias. Foram avaliadas: altura de plantas (AP), área foliar (AF), produção de biomassa seca (BS), produção de frutos (PF) e evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc). Os níveis de sais na água de irrigação reduziram significativamente (p < 0,01) os valores das variáveis analisadas, com efeito linear sobre a AP e BS, e quadrático para AF, PF e ETc. A ETc se correlacionou positivamente com a AF. | During the period of June to November of 1999, the study was carried out in a greenhouse of the DSER/CCA/UFPB, in the municipality of Areia in the State of Paraiba, Brazil, with the objective of verifying the effects of salts in the irrigation water on some development characteristics of tomato crop (Lycopersicum esculentum sp), cultivar Santa Rosa. The water used was from Jacaré reservoir located in the Remígio city, with electrical conductivity of 24.5 dS m-1. The treatments consisted of: rainfall water (T1 - 0.01 dS m-1) and dilutions of the reservoir water with rainfall water, in the proportions of 1:4 (T2 - 5.7 dS m-1), 1:3 (T3 - 6.8 dS m-1), 1:2 (T4 - 8.3 dS m-1), 1:1 (T5 - 12.7 dS m-1) and 1:0 (T6 - 24.5 dS m-1). The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with 3 repetitions, the experimental unit being recipient with capacity for 20 L, containing 15 kg of air dried soil. The irrigation events varied from one to two days. The height of plants, leaf area, production of the dry matter, production of fruits and evapotranspiration of the crop were evaluated. The levels of salts in the irrigation water reduced significantly (p < 0.01) the values of the variables analyzed, with a linear effect on height and dry matter production and quadratic effect on leaf area, production of fruits and evapotranspiration. The latter was correlated positively to leaf area.
