Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Any and every manner of pesticide application represents environmental risks, which must be minimized by the use of proper knowledge and technology, assuring a sustainable food production. Often, great importance is given to the pesticide and little to the application technique. The identification of the conservation state and mode of use of the spray...
Distance learning presents great potential for mitigating field problems on pesticide spraying technology. This methodology does not intend to replace live trainings, but complement them, especially considering the importance of field practices for this activity. Thus, due to the lack of teaching material about pesticide spraying technology and the increasing availability of distance learning, this study develo...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereals grown in the whole world. The discovery of hybridization effects on vegetable species, as well as the yield increase given by hybrid maize, boosted the seed production system through crossings of endogamic lines and progenitors. One of the major obstacles for the success on seed production is weed competition for water and nutrients. Weed control is done ...
The cultivation of coffee is in fast development in the Cerrado areas, these areas present soil with favorable physical properties to the development of the coffee cultivation and to mechanization, however in these areas, the soil are very weathered, naturally acid and shows low fertility. With the expansion of the coffee cultivation, new challenges had been incorporated, since that the use of technology and co...
Cotton is the most important vegetable fiber for man who uses it as a raw material in the production of tissues which has intrinsic qualities unequaled to in other fibers. For this reason, the viability of the seed has been receiving special attention, since its quality is demonstrated in the subsequent cultures, in terms of uniformity, greater performance of plants and, consequently, greater productivity. The ...
Seed treatment with systemic fungicides has the advantage of promoting efficient protection in the initial development of the culture. It has been used for several years, for the control of biotrophic fungi in cereals. It is known that some leaf diseases can be managed through seed treatment with systemic fungicides. Soybean Asian rust is a major disease that attacks soybean crop. Alternative strategies of mana...
The great agricultural potential of Brazil is recognized internationally, occupying the position of producing greater of sugarcane of the world. The projected growth for production of sugarcane in the country will imply in the generation of great volume of the residues for the sugarcane industry, that if made use inadequately can cause great damages to the environment. On the other hand, these same residues can...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; The purpose of the present work was to evaluate the vegetative development, productivity, yield and income from Rubi´s coffee, inbred MG-1192, cultivated under different irrigation depths during the period of 2002 to 2008. The experiment was carried out at the Glória´s experimental farm, situated at 18º58 South latitude and 48º12 West longitude, and a...
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais; The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the forth world s more important culture, cultivated in more than 125 countries and consumed by more than one billion people due to its nutritional composition, gastronomic versatility, technological adaptations and low price. Its production efficiency guarantee a bigger use of areas destined to foodproducing, characte...
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais; The silicates are products that might be used not just for silicon supply, but also for correction of soil acidity. The main factors that must be evaluated for agricultural correctives are neutralization power and reactivity, which, combined, form the relative power of total neutralization, a determinant factor for the definition of the dose to be used in...
