Green manure is an ancient technique where the cultivation of plants specially designed to improve the physical, chemical and/or biological parameters of the soil is carried out. Such plants must have relevant characteristics such as high biomass production, ease of cultivation, rusticity, in addition to the biological nitrogen fixation capacity associated with plants of the Fabaceae family, which is widely exp...
Os sistemas agroflorestais são importantes formas de cultivo sustentável, gerando diversos serviços ecossistêmicos. Entretanto, a caracterização e o manejo de fatores como a heterogeneidade térmica e de radiação luminosa, e a interação entre componente arbóreo e os cafeeiros são determinantes para atingir a sustentabilidade almejada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar se diferentes...
The aim of this study was to verify if a growth reduction of yellow passion fruit seedlings’ growth morphophysiology and quality could be changed by paclobutrazol applied through seedling immersion. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, with seedlings grown in polyethylene tubes (290 cm3), with substrate. At 40 days after sowing, the seedlings were immersed in an aqueous solution of paclobutrazol at con...
Atualmente, os serviços ambientais relativos aos sistemas agroflorestais (SAFs) estão fundamentados em aspectos qualitativos. Entretanto, para que ocorra a consolidação do pagamentos por tais serviços, os diversos fatores que condicionam os SAFs necessitam ser caracterizados. Este estudo teve comoobjetivos analisar se o estoque de biomassa individual de cafeeiros é afetado porSAFs caracterizados por manejo e ar...
