In certain plant species, essential oils have been reported to inhibit seed germination and cause toxicity and have been associated with a loss of photosynthetic activity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of essential oils and their major compound citronellal on the germination and growth of crabgrass (Digitaria horizontalis) and burrgrass (Cenchrus echinatus). Essential oils from E. citriodora and C. n...
Banana is the most consumed fruit in the world as it is a delicious and aromatic fruit. However, its production is limited mainly due post-harvest problems such as diseases, especially anthracnose, which accelerates senescence and causes early fall. The aim of this work was to evaluate the agronomic traits and the resistance of banana genotypes (Fhia 18, Fhia 01, Thap Mae, Caipira, Prata (control) and Maçã (con...
Cucurbits cultivation has great importance in the food industry. However, in the main producing regions of curcubits, the increase of cultivation areas has been limited by viral infections. Among the most prevalent viruses there is the Watermelon Mosaic Virus (WMV), Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRSV-W) and Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus (ZYMV). The aim of this study was to evaluate the reaction of watermelon genotypes ...

Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar níveis de herbivoria de Cerotoma arcuatus Olivier, 1791 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) em genótipos de soja, comparando propriedades morfológicas como; densidade de tricomas (DT), espessura foliar (EF), número de C. arcuatus (NC) e área danificada (AD). O experimento foi realizado na Universidade Federal do Tocantins campo experimental de Gurupi-TO ano 2008/09, o delineamento ex...
Análise de CG/MS apresentou o citronelal como o principal fitoconstituinte dos óleos essenciais de E. citriodora e C. nardus, com 61,78 % e 36,53%, respectivamente. A toxicidade dos óleos e do constituinte citronelal para S. zeamais foi verificada por meio das estimativas das curvas de concentrações resposta e tempos de exposição letais para 50 e 95% dos insetos (CL50, CL95 e TL50, TL95). O composto citronelal ...
