The NFT - Nutriente Film Technique - has contributed to the dissemination of the commercial hydroponics cultivation all over the world and in Brazil as well. In order to evaluate the efficience of this technique in the production of tomato seeds (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), an experiment was conducted at a school-farm of FAZU, in Uberaba, it had been harvested fruits in four periods of maturation: breaker; ...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; The effect of storage in a climatized environment on the physiologic quality of hybrid AG 1018 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) seeds harvested with different moisture contents and subjected to delay times before drying was studied. The seeds used were collected in a commercial seed production field of Monsanto Brasil Ltd., in Uberlândia-MG, in t...
Pineapple is a tropical plant which requires special care with irrigation and choice of planting density. The use of a greater planting density should meet the farmer s requirement for yield and the consumer s desire for fruit quality. This study analyzed the effect of different planting densities and irrigation replenishing the culture s evapotranspiration (Etc) on fruit yield and productivity of pineapple Smo...
Soybean (Glycine max (L) Merril) is an ancient plant, and its origin and history are hard to establish. The occurrence of diseases in this culture is one of the major limiting factors to high yields. Resistant soybean cultivars are the most effective tool available for soybean cyst nematode management. This study evaluated the reaction of soybean genotypes from UFU s breeding program to the plant nematode Heter...
Coefficient of Pearson r is used to compare scientific tests. In seeds technology it is used to compare results of procedures that measure vigour. When the correspondly similar results are not found in very similar conditions, Person s correlation faces criticism mainly due to two factors. The first one comes from statistics for whose usage of Person s correlation there are prescriptions that are not always obs...
Instituto Federal Goiano; The advent of automated sugarcane harvesting, and its replacement of traditional pre-crop burning, has created a favorable environment for the spittlebug Mahanarva fimbriolata Stål. The spittlebug was previously considered a problem just in the sugarcane plantations of northeast Brazil, but it has now become one of the main problems for this culture in the South-central region. Silicon...
A trial was done in a greenhouse at Fazenda Capim Branco Universidade Federal de Uberlândia MG to evaluate different soybean fungicide treatments to reduce the progress of soybean Asian rust in its initial development stage. The experimental desing was completely randomized, as a factorial with 12 fungicides, 4 doses and 3 repetitions, in a total of 144 experimental units, for 5 cultivars. Each unit consisted o...
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais; The degraded gallery forest that border water courses are areas that demand priority for the actions of revegetation. These bushes have a strategical paper in the conservation of biodiversity, protection of water courses against sediments deposition and contamination with agricultural defensives, in the preservation of water quality and formation of ecolo...
Population surveys of plant parasite nematodes are an important tool for the evaluation of their presence and losses caused by these organisms in many crops. The county of Jataí is considered as an important maize and soybean producer. Soybean was introduced in the county in the 80 s and, up to now, a significant increase in planted area and yield has been observed. Ten years ago, the county became a producer o...
This research had the purpose to adjust the cold test metodology to evaluate the vigor of sorghum seeds (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), using samples of two lots about AG1018 hybrid, one with marginal quality, called test lot, and other with high quality, called control lot, in the cropping season 2005/2005. The experiments were made at Monsanto do Brasil Ltda seeds analysis laboratory, with Instituto de Ciências ...
