Lettuce is a vegetable that can be produced in different cultivation systems, such as aquaponics. The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of lettuce cultivars from the purple, american, smooth and curly lettuce groups in aquaponics. The system consisted of an area of approximately 10 m3, consisting of a 1 m3 fish breeding tank, a 240 L settling filter, a 240 L biological filter and nine 3 m l...
ABSTRACT: Organisms like Collembola are indicators of soil quality and act as decomposers that promote litter fragmentation, improve soil structure and aeration. This work aimed to carry out the survey and identification of Collembola in an area with avocado cultivation. The collections were performed using Pitfall traps in an avocado growing area, from April to July. In total, six biweekly field collections we...
The objective was to analyze the temporal variability of the recovery capacity in the ottobasin region of the Itapemirim, Benevente and Itabapoana Rivers, south of Espírito Santo, thus identifying the dry and rainy periods through the Rain Anomaly Index. Ten rainfall stations belonging to the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET) were selected, whose series ranged from 1991 to 2020. Periods with positive an...
A condutividade hidráulica saturada do solo (K0) é de grande importância para a hidrologia, especialmente no contexto da infiltração, onde apresenta grande influência nas condições de geração de escoamento superficial direto, tendo como consequências a formação de inundações, erosão do solo e transporte de sedimentos. Além disso, tem papel fundamental na agricultura, por contribuir na infiltração e disponibiliz...
