Standardized sampling plan for Aphis gossypii based on the cotton cultivar, pla...

A standardized sampling plan is the starting point for developing a decision‐making system for pest control. Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a destructive sapfeeding pest on cotton worldwide. However, research addressing cotton cultivar, plant phenology and field size with the aim of developing a sampling plan for A. gossypii has not been done. Therefore, in this study, we developed a standardize...

Chitosan application in the induction of water deficit tolerance in maize plants.

The present research seeks to elucidate the feasibility of chitosan (CHT) in the induction of water deficit tolerance in different maize hybrids, contrasting tolerance to water restriction, tolerance and sensitivity. The maize plants were subjected to water deficit and foliar application of different chitosan doses (60, 100, 140, and 180 mg L-1) at the pre-flowering growth stage and evaluated during the stress ...

Modifications in the root system, gas exchanges and productivity of sorghum hyb...

This study associated data of performance, gas exchange and morphometric analysis of the root system using the WinRhizo software. The main objective was to verify how the modifications in the root system contribute to maintain the photosynthetic rates and productivity in sorghum hybrids divergent regarding tolerance to water deficit. The 1G 282 tolerant hybrid presented higher tolerance to desiccation of the le...

Changes in temperature of a Plinthosol cultivated with sugarcane under straw le...

Soil temperature is affected by its coverage and influences sugarcane productivity. Changes in temperature were assessed in a Plinthosol cultivated with sugarcane under different straw levels, as well as its reflection in stalk productivity, aiming at determining the maximum amount of straw to be removed for other purposes without damaging soil thermal conditions necessary for the crop.; Made available in DSpac...

Soybean development under soil water deficit.

One of the main factors affecting soybean development is water deficiency, especially when it occurs during the flowering and pods filling stages. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the soybean development under soil water deficit in different phenological phases, under soil and climatic conditions of Bom Jesus, Piaui State, Brazil. The test was conducted at São Luiz Farm, located 3 km from Bom Jesus to PI, dur...

Growth and biochemical responses of maize cultivated in soils contaminated with...

Contamination with trace elements is characterized by an abiotic stress that represents a limiting factor in agricultural production. Considering that cadmium (Cd) and Zinc (Zn) are physically and chemically similar, they can interact with the environment, causing antagonistic or synergistic effects. In this sense, physiological mechanisms to exclude, detoxify or compartmentalize the excess of those trace eleme...

Identification of cowpea genotypes for drought tolerance.

The genotypes selection for drought tolerance is very important for world food production, principally in arid regions or sites with irregular rain distribution. The objective of this work was to identify cowpea genotypes with drought tolerance and water stress sensitivity characteristics. Two experiments were carried out with 20 treatments and four replications, one under water deficit during reproductive phas...
