    O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar se ocorre redistribuição de boro em coqueiros (Cocos nucifera), quando a aplicação de ácido bórico é realizada na axila foliar ou no solo. Foram empregados os seguintes tratamentos com ácido bórico: 30 g aplicados sobre a axila da folha número 10; 60 g aplicados ao solo; e controle, sem aplicação. Foram realizadas duas aplicações de B, com um intervalo de cinco meses entre elas. A unidade experimental consistiu de duas plantas, com seis repetições, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Foram determinados os teores de boro nas folhas 2, 6, 10, 14 e 18, aos dois e quatro meses após a primeira aplicação de ácido bórico, e aos dois e cinco meses após a segunda aplicação. O boro se redistribuiu pela planta de coqueiro, independentemente da forma de aplicação. A elevação do teor de boro nas folhas persistiu por mais tempo, quando a aplicação de ácido bórico foi feita ao solo. As doses de ácido bórico aplicadas não causaram fitotoxidade, mesmo quando a aplicaçãofoi repetida após um curto período.<br>The aim of this work was to verify if boron redistribution occurs among the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) fronds, when boric acid is applied on frond axils or on soil. The treatments with boric acid were: 30 g applied on the axil of frond number 10; 60 g applied to the soil; and a control without boric acid application. The B applications were repeated after five-month interval. The experimental unit consisted of two plants, with six replicates, in a randomized complete block design. Boron contents were determined in fronds number 2, 6, 10, 14 and 18, two and four months after the first boric acid application, and two and five months after the second application. Boron was redistributed in coconut plants, regardless of the application form. Increases in boron concentration in fronds persisted longer when boric acid was applied to the soil. The applied doses of boric acid hadno phytotoxity effect, even when the application was repeated after five months

    Steady Flow from an Array of Subsurface Emitters: Kornev’s Irrigation Technology and Kidder’s Free Boundary Problems Revisited

    Kornev’s (Subsurface irrigation, Selhozgiz, Moscow-Leningrad, 1935) subsurface irrigation with a periodic array of emitting porous pipes is analytically modeled as a steady potential Darcian flow from a line source generating a phreatic surface. The hodograph method is used. The complex potential strip is mapped onto the triangle of the inverted hodograph. An analogy with the Deemter (Theoretische en numerieke behandeling van ontwaterings-en infiltratie stromings problemen (in Dutch). Theoretical and numerical treatment of flow problems connected to drainage and irrigation. Ph.D. dissertation, Delft University of Technology, 1950) drainage problem and Kidder (J Appl Phys 27(8):867–869, 1956) free-surface flow toward an array of oil wells underlain by a “wavy” oil–water interface is drawn. For a half-period of Kornev’s flow, the “wavy” phreatic surface has an inflection point. The “waviness” of the phreatic surface is controlled by the spacing between emitters, the strength of line sources, and the pipe pressure and radius. Numerical modeling with HYDRUS involved two factors which constrained the saturated–unsaturated flow: the positive pressure head at the outlet of the modeled domain and lateral no-flow boundaries, with a qualitative corroboration of analytical solutions for potential (fully saturated) and purely unsaturated flows. HYDRUS is also applied to a generalized Philip’s regime of an unsaturated flow past a subterranean hole, which is impermeable at its top and leaks at the bottom

    Crescimento e teores de boro em plantas de eucalipto (Eucalyptus citriodora) cultivadas em dois latossolos sob influência de doses de boro e disponibilidade de água Growth and boron contents in eucalyptus (Eucalyptus citriodora) growing in two latosols under the influence of boron rates and water availability

    Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito da aplicação de doses de boro no crescimento de Eucalyptus citriodora em um Latossolo V ermelho-Escuro e um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo, submetidos a diferentes tensões hídricas. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, no Departamento de Ciência do Solo da Universidade Federal de Lavras, em Lavras, MG, usando-se vasos com três dm³ de solo. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 5 x 2 x 2, sendo cinco doses de B (0,00; 0,25; 0,75; 2,25; e 6,25 mg kg-1); e dois tipos de Latossolo: Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro (LE) e Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo (LV) e duas tensões hídricas (-0,033 e -0,010 MPa), com quatro repetições. Os resultados indicaram que tanto o LV quanto o LE, nas suas condições naturais, não supriram as exigências de B em Eucalyptus citriodora. Contudo, os maiores incrementos na produção de matéria seca das plantas foram observados em baixas doses de B aplicadas. A umidade do solo é um fator importante no aproveitamento de B do solo pelo Eucalyptus citriodora.<br>The present work was carried out to evaluate the effect of Boron rates on the growth of Eucalyptus citriodora in two Latosols, submitted to different water tensions. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at the Soil Science Department of the Federal University of Lavras-MG and it was arranged in a completely randomized design in a 5 x 2 x 2 factorial scheme with four replications, five B rates (0.0; 0.25; 0.75; 2.25; and 6.25 mg kg-1) and two soils, Dark Red Latosol (LEr) and Red Yellow Latosol (LVm) with two moisture levels (-0.033 and -0.010 MPa). The results obtained showed that under natural conditions, neither LEr nor LVm was able to supply Eucalyptus citriodora the requirements for Boron. However, the highest increase in dry matter yield was obtained at low rates of Boron supplied. Soil moisture was an important factor in Boron uptake for eucalyptus plants
