This review objective to show the importance of the rural administrator to the perfect development of the familiar agriculture. In this situation, we observed the inclusion of experimented administrative theories in others areas, has the capacity of increase the production of the little cultivators or familiar agriculturalist, maintaining them in yours regions and increasing the lucratively with less degradation ofthe ambient. So we conclude who so important than the agricultural techniques is the rural administrator to promote the development of the familiar agro industry, because he is holder of important knowledge, but he considerate the specific particularity of our region.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different doses of nitrogen and potassium applied through the irrigation water by micro-sprinkler in the space distribution of the root system of the soursop (Annona muricata L.), through digital images. The study was conducted at the experimental field of Embrapa - North, in Teresina - PI (05th 05 ' S and 42 and 48 ' W). The treatments consisted of the combination of five doses of nitrogen (20, 120, 200, 280 and 380 kg ha-1 year-1) with five potassium doses (30, 180, 300, 420 and 570 kg ha-1 year-1), besides the witness, applied every fifteen days. The evaluation of the length of roots was accomplished being used the software SIARCS and the results were analyzed through graphs of contour and columns. The largest concentrations of roots in relation to horizontal distance happened inside of the projection of the cup. The treatment whose doses of N and K2O were 380 kg ha-1 year-1 of N and 420 kg ha-1 year-1 of K2O it presented the best vertical profile of root distribution and it was also verified that dose high of potassium they inhibit the root development.

This work makes a approach of the familiar agriculture of the Assentamento Redonda in the City of Icapuí in the State of the Ceará, objectifying tytisy to identify, to classify the familiar agriculturists having for base the survival strategies put in practical for these actors in the process of local development. The methodology adopted in the work searched to make possible adequate knowledge of the agricultural activity and the agricultural agriculturist, through the analysis of economic performance and parameters that they make possible to measure the stimulus to the investment in the production, as well as the degrees of integration to the market and specialization of the production. In accordance with the gotten results, in the studied locality, the properties are considered integrated to the market and possess greater specialization in the cattle production and of cashew chestnut. Between the studied producers, it has low stimulus to invest in the farming production; this if must to the fact from that the majority of the income of the seated ones is proceeding from other sources as: retirements, pensions, stock market family (bolsa família), wages and others, what it becomes the agricultural activity relatively less attractive. Words Key: Tipificação, Familiar Agriculture, System of Production, Icapuí-ce.

The guava is principally cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Brazil is one of the principal producers worldwide besides with India, Paquistan, Mexico and Venezuela. The fruit can be used in the industrialization generating many subproducts. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the efficiency of resistance inducers alone and associated with hydrothermal treatment in the control of anthracnose of guava. The fruits that were treated with Agro-Mos® presented minor severity in comparison to the others treatments (Crop-Set, Methyl Jasmonate and Chitosan). The Agro-Mos® was selected to be used associated with the hydrothermal treatment. The temperatures treatments, 47ºC, in any time of exposure and 50ºC in the time exposure of 3 and 6 minutes differs significantly to the others, independently of the association with the inductor.

In order to evaluate the response of Nitrogen and Simple super phosphate fertilization in the growth of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deneger) seedling an experiment was carried out at shady chamber (50%) at Agricultural Department of Universidad Federal de Lavras (UFLA). A randomized block design was used with factorial scheme 4x4, with four replications and five plants by plot. It was used 4 doses of Nitrogen (0; 800; 1600 and 3200 mg N dm-3 of substrate) and 4 SS doses (0; 2,5; 5,0; and 10,0 kg m-3 of substrate. It was evaluated the characteristics: high of plants ( cm), root length (cm) number of leaves/plants, dry matter of aerial part and root (g/plant). ). It was verified that the nitrogen fertilization in cover warranty best quality in production of plants of yellow passion fruit. The simple super phosphate not showed good results substrate formulation to formation of seedlings of yellow passion fruit.

Mamãozinho-de-veado (Jacaratia corumbensis O. Kuntze, Caricaceae) is used for food animal. The objective of this study was to determine a seed storage method for Jacaratia corumbensis to conserve seed viability and vigour. Seeds of Jacaratia corumbensis were put in paper (Kraft) and plastic bags (0.15 mm), and stored in three environmental conditions of temperature environment (22ºC and 65% relative humidity). The germination percentage, moisture content and vigour of seeds were evaluated at the beginning of the experiment and after the storage periods. All treatments maintained seed vigour for 180 days of storage. The best storage conditions to maintain seed viability for a 180-day period were: 1) paper bags (87% of germination) and 2) plastic bags (88% germination) in temperature environment.

Processing tomato is the most important vegetable crop of the Brazilian agribusiness and few researches have been conducted to evaluate the tolerance of this crop to saline stress. In this study, the effects of five levels of salinity of the irrigation water (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 dS m-1) and three equivalent proportions of Na:Ca:Mg (1:1:0.5, 4:1:0.5 and 7:1:0.5) were tested on the emergence and vigor of processing tomato, cultivar IPA 6. Seeds were sowed in expanded polystyrene tray (128 cells) and each tray received 1 L of water after sowing. The trays were piled and, four days after sowing, they were placed on suspended supports in a greenhouse. Irrigation was accomplished daily from the fifth day after sowing. Only dry weight of shoot and root was affected by sodium proportions, while linear reductions of the speed of emergence, stem length and the dry weight of shoot and root were observed with increasing salinity. Root was more affected than shoot by salinity and relative growth ratioincreased with salinity levels on the 14-21 days after sowing period, indicating that the crop showed a certain increase of salinity tolerance with the time of exposure to salts.

Whiteflies are pests of many crops. They cause severe yield losses and reduce crop quality on fruits. Insecticides of differents modes of action have been used with little success in the control of this pest. In this work, the efficiency of buprofezin and pyriproxyfen applied alone and/or mixtured with fenpropathrin and acephate on Bemisia tabaci B biotype eggs, nymphs and adults was evaluated under field conditions. The experiment was conduced in a randomized complete block design in an irrigated area in Paraipaba, CE, Brazil, with six treatments and eight replicates. The mixture of the insecticides fenpropathrin + acephate applied weekly alone or mixtured was efficient to control eggs, nymphs and adults of the whitefly, while the insect growth regulators buprofezin and pyriproxyfen did not control eggs and adults, but they controled nymphs, being pyriproxyfen more efficient than buprofezin.

The refrigeration is considered the most recommendable physical process to extend the shelf-life of fruits further control pathogens development. The demand for alternative postharvest disease management practices that could reduce consumer and environmental risks has increased in recent years like the use of sanitation products. The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of chlorine dioxide associated with refrigeration on the control of Fusarium pallidoroseum. The effect of 8 different temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 ºC) on the pathogen development and the effectiveness of chlorine dioxide to control F. pallidoroseum were evaluated. The best performance was obtained at 30 ºC. The temperatures of 10 ºC and 40 ºC inhibited completely the mycelial growth and sporulations, in spite of don't be lethal for F. paliidoroseum that recover its normal development when transferred to room temperature. Melons were treated with chlorine dioxide at 10 ug.mL-1. Inoculums contained 107 conidia/mL were applied onto wound on fruit surface and then stored in three different environment: room temperature (29 ± 1 ºC), low temperature (10 ± 2 ºC) during 16 days and low temperature during the whole time, evaluating every other day the incidence and severity during 28 days. The refrigeration inhibited the lesion development. Under refrigeration chlorine dioxide reduced 54 % of incidence and severity, while at room temperature just around 14 % of incidence comparing to control. Chlorine dioxide associated to refrigeration may contribute in an efficient way to integrated control of postharvest disease in melon.

An experiment was carried out under greenhouse condition at orchard of Universidade Federal de Lavras, MG with aim studing the effect of different levels of organic matter in the seedling production of papaya Formosa. The experimental design used was of randomized blocks complet with four treatment and four replication. The treatments composited of four percentages of organic compost (0%; 10%; 20% and 40% of the total volume). Each plot 16 seedlings, one for each recipient. After 140 days of sowing, it was evaluated the following characteristics: plant height (cm), number of leaves/plant, shoot dry matter, root and total (g/plant). The presence of organic matter on substrate allawed a higher growth of papaya seedlings. The presence of40% of organic compost on the substrate was the best posibility alternative of organic matter for production of papaya seedlings.
