The management practices used by farmers in cassava crops and the relationship with the sensory quality and physicochemical characteristics of cassava roots are still incipient. The objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity, sensory quality and physicochemical properties of cassava roots at harvest times and technological management levels. The study was conducted in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a taxa de acúmulo de matéria seca e a duração do período de enchimento de grãos de cultivares de arroz irrigado com diferentes grupos de maturação e épocas de semeadura. Para a determinação da taxa e duração do período de enchimento de grãos, a partir do florescimento foram realizadas amostragens por cultivar. Foi ajustada a relação entre dias após florescimento e peso d...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; The objectives of this dissertation were to determine the phyllochron, the final leaf number on the main stem and the duration of developmental stages to characterize leaf growth during the developmental cycle and to determine the tuber yield of tenadvanced potato clones of the Potato Breeding and Genetics Program of the Universidade Federal de Santa ...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; The objectives of this thesis were: To estimate the relative maturity group of old and modern soybean cultivars used in Southern Brazil; To quantify the branches contribution in the leaf area index; To characterize the development and the overlap period of vegetative and reproductive phases, growth in height and the emission of nodes after the beginni...
Crop models are important tools for decision-making in different agricultural crops. Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an important crop in Brazil, but studies with potato simulation models in Brazil, mainly in the South, are scarce. This study aimed to calibrate and evaluate statistical models for simulating potato tuber yield in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul (subtropical climate) and São Joaquim, Santa Catarina ...
The aim of this work was to compare the methods of leaf discs and digital photos used to determine the leaf area of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), with indeterminate growth habit, and model complete leaf area (three leaflets) according the length, or width and or the product of length width, for different sizes of leaves. An experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at University Federal of Santa Maria, in R...
