Arbuscular mycorrhizae (Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith) increased root and shoot growth, and P content in sour orange (Citrus aurantium L) seedlings. The application of indolebutyric acid (IBA) at 2.0 g/I as root dip was innefective in increasing growth to nonmycorrhizal seedlings, but applications to mycorrhizal seedlings had a positive interactive effect. The application of naphthaleneacetic acid (NA...
This research was carried out at the FEPAGRO Experiment Station (Viamão-RS) in 1995, to study the selectivity of acaricides on natural enemies, in a five-year-old orange orchard of cv. 'Valencia'. The desing was randomized blocks with four replicates. The treatments and the quantities of a. i. at grams/100 liters of water, were: fenpyroximate (5); cyhexatin (25); abamectin + mineral oil (0.54 + 189); acrinathri...
This trial was conducted in Lages, SC, Brazil, with the purpose of evaluating the effects of using higher than recommended plant densities on com yield and components. Two hybrids were used: Cargill 901 (very early) and XL 370 (early). Each hybrid was evaluated at three plant densities: 57,500, 71,500 and 82,500 pl/ha. Increasing plant population from 57,500 to 82,500 pilha did not affect grain yield of hybrid ...

The overcoming bud dormancy in apple trees occurs after an increase of chilling hours in autumn/winter. If the environment does not supply the need for cold plants, budburst inductors are used to overcome dormancy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the overcoming of bud dormancy of apple trees by combining the effect of cold and the use of a budburst inductor. The standard budburst inductor for apple ...
