The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive performance, carcass characteristics and non carcass components of lambs fed with different proportions and types of carbohydrates. Thirty sheared sheep with no defined racial pattern were used, with a mean body weight of 20.5 ± 7.6 kg, with 5 months of age, distributed in a randomized complete block design. The diets consisted of: High Diet CNF (High p...
The Northeast is the largest papaya producer in Brazil, with which is of great importance the formation of seedlings, using quality materials for the production of substrates that have physical and chemical characteristics ideals. The objective of this research was to evaluate the physical properties of substrates containing banana fiber and the production of papaya seedlings. The experiment was conducted in a ...
Modifications in the systems of use and management of the soil for the accomplishment of anthropic actions, provoke the alterations in the physical, physical and biological characteristics of the soil, mainly in the substitution of the organic matter of the ground (MOS) modifying, thus, the contents and the nitrogen stocks (N) of Brazilian biomes. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the...
Researches aimed to soil quality assessment and the community of macroarthropods in agroecosystems in the Apodi Plateau RN are incipient. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the soil quality and the community of macroarthropods in agroecosystems of the Moacir Lucena settlement, Apodi Plateau RN. Soil profile openings were carried out in the environments of Native Vegetation (Ferralsol), Agroecologica...
The establishment of the School of Agronomy of the Northeast, in Areia, in the State of Paraíba, rests on a chain of political, economic and socio-cultural factors that, in the national, state and municipal context, came together for its creation in 1934. First lay educational institution superior of Paraíba, existed as an isolated institution until 1968, when it became part of the Federal University of Paraíba...
Periodicals need to meet certain requirements and standardizations, these in turn, enable their insertion and permanence of in relevant and qualifying databases. Thus, the main idea of this work is to investigate management practices on behalf of the Portal of Electronic Scientific Periodicals, of the Federal University of Paraíba in João Pessoa-Brazil. The research dealt with periodical inclusion policy, infor...
The removal vegetation coverage stands out as one of the most serious environmental problems in different parts of the world, and in Brazil this is no exception. The Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D.Penn., belongs to the Sapotaceae Juss. Family, is an important species that is currently threatened in the Caatinga biome, which despite that fact, there is lack of studies focused in this species, esp...
Pineapple farming is an economically viable and socially relevant activity in the exploration regions. However, its success depends on nutritional management with adequate K / N ratios. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different K/N ratios, applied via soil and leaf on nutritional status, phenology of leaf "D" and infructescence, production and quality of pineapple cv. Infructescence, ...
The collection of fruits and seeds for human and animal feeding has been practiced for centuries in the Caatinga northeastern. In the Paraiba Caatinga, it is common to find small communities that have joined together in a cooperative, to explore nature's resource that is a source of income and maintenance of sustainable extractivism. In view of this, the present study aims to diagnose the perception of the farm...
The use of plant mixtures in inter-rows of fruit trees associated with non soil turnover can contribute to the diversity of epigeic fauna, nutrient cycling, and soil carbon sequestration in irrigated environments under semi-arid conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diversity of soil epigeic fauna, the rate of decomposition of biomass and release of nutrients from different plant mixtures, and t...
