This study aims to evaluate the occurrence and distribution of foot lesion and body condition scores to define which lesions are determinant for the manifestation of locomotion scores in dairy cows. A database from 482 Holstein cows was evaluated considering information on body condition scores (BCS), locomotion scores (LS), and cows with hoof lesions. Sole hemorrhage was the hoof lesion with the greatest occur...
Selection practices are maximized when plant breeders have the availability of consolidated parameters, which will guide direct and indirect selection methods. This study aimed to apply a biometric alternative to minimize residual variance and maximize selection parameters by parent-progeny regression, interim controls, and mixed linear models intrinsic to breeding. The obtained data were subjected to the assum...
Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T10:23:10Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different doses of composted swine manure on protein and macronutrient contents of proso millet grains and in nutrient export by the crop. The experiment was carried out in the years 2013 and 2014 in a randomized block design, with four replications and...
In recent years, questionings on the behavior of genotypes in different environments are frequent, especially those seeking to disclose the commercial and nutritional value of soybean genotypes. Consequently, this study – which is linked to the IRC Soybean Breeding Program located in Campos Borges, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil – sought to analyze the physiological and nutritional aspects of S5 Soybean Segregating ...
The development of more efficient plants in the use of nutrients will be fundamental for agriculture in the coming years. The objective of this work was to define a physiological marker of the nutritional status of P for potato clones cultivated off-soil and in vitro, in order to facilitate the selection process of more efficient clones in the use of P. For this, two experiments were carried out with seven pota...
Average tests and correlation analysis (simple, canonical and trail) allow the identification of characters correlated with grain yield. Due to the low availability of studies that report the levels of correlation between soybean plants and the spacing between rows and the demands of rural producers, the aim of this study was to identify the influence of the spacing between rows of soybean genotypes on yield le...
The selection of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L.) that are efficient in the use of phosphorus (P) plays an important role in increasing crop productivity, reducing the cost of production due to the high price of phosphate fertilizers, as well as reducing the pollution of the environment due to the better use of the applied fertilizers. The objective of this work was to compare the method of selection of pot...
The dual-purpose wheat stands out as a complementary alternative for forage supply during the winter period. Therefore, this work had the objective of evaluate the performance characteristics in five genotypes of dual-purpose wheat submitted to different sowing densities and different clipping managements. The experiment was carried out during the 2016 and 2017 harvests. The experimental design was a randomized...
This study aimed to evaluate the physical quality, identify and quantify the contaminants of seeds of forage and granifer species in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The data collection was realized from the results obtained from samples of seeds lots collected by the State Program of Inspection, from the Input Inspection Division of the State Department of Vegetal Defense, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Batches o...
This work had as objective to adjust the methodology of the seedling length test for soybean and maize seeds, depending on the level of vigor and size of the seed.Therefore, it was used soybean seeds of cultivar 5855 RSF IPRO (BMX ELITE) andhybrid maize seeds of the cultivar Fórmula Viptera , classified in two sizes of sieve and two levels of vigor for soybean and three levels for maize.A completely randomized ...
