Preliminary morpho-agronomic characterization of cumari hot peppers
A pimenta cumari, Capsicum baccatum var. praetermissum e C. baccatum var. baccatum, é uma espécie semidomesticada, endêmica das regiões Sudeste e Centro-Oeste do paÃs. Apesar da sua importância econômica, principalmente para a agricultura familiar, e da sua ampla variabilidade, ainda não existe uma cultivar dessa espécie disponÃvel no mercado brasileiro. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar acessos de pimenta cumari do Banco de Germoplasma de Capsicum da Embrapa Hortaliças com base em caracterÃsticas morfoagronômicas e identificar acessos promissores que possam dar origem a um programa de melhoramento genético. Verificou-se a existência de grande variabilidade entre os acessos analisados, tendo sido encontradas diferenças para a maioria das variáveis. O material mais precoce, CNPH 4065, floresceu aos 81 dias após a semeadura e o mais tardio, CNPH 2957, aos 126 dias. O número de flores por axila variou de 1 a 3. Já em relação à pilosidade, a quantidade de plantas muito pilosas foi de 6,25%; pilosidade moderada 6,25%; pouca pilosidade 12,50% e sem pilosidade 75,00%. A estimativa da produtividade variou de 8 a 340 gramas por planta e a incidência de viroses indicou o PepYMV como o mais frequente, tendo sido encontrado em 33% das plantas analisadas. Os acessos CNPH 4065, CNPH 3824, CNPH 3993, CNPH 2964 e CNPH 2948 foram considerados promissores para o uso em programa de melhoramento.The cumari hot pepper, Capsicum baccatum var. praetermissum and C. baccatum var. baccatum, is a semi-domesticated species, endemic to the Southeast and Midwest regions of Brazil. Despite its economic importance, especially for small farmers in family agriculture systems, no cumari cultivars are available in the Brazilian market. This research aimed to evaluate 16 cumari accessions of the Capsicum Germplasm Bank of Embrapa Vegetables based on morpho-agronomic features, and identify promising accessions for further breeding programs. Genetic variability was found among accessions and differences were observed for the majority of the characteristics. The earliest genotype, CNPH 4065, set flowers 81 days after sowing and the latest, CNPH 2957, at 126 days. The number of flowers per axil ranged from 1 to 3. Pubescence, a relevant plant characteristic associated to insect resistance was found as follows: highly pubescent plants 6.25%; moderately pubescent 6.25%; almost glabrous 12.50%; and glabrous 75.00%. Yield was estimated in between 8 grams/plant and 340 grams/plant. PepYMV (33% of the total number of plants) was the most prevalent virus infecting cumari hot peppers in the field. Five accessions (CNPH 4065; CNPH 3824; CNPH 3993; CNPH 2964; CNPH 2948) were considered as promising to be used in cumari breeding programs

Performance of potato cultivars under different planting spacing in a naturally-infested soil by Ralstonia solanacearum
<p></p><p>ABSTRACT In recent years, Brazilian potato cultivars were released, such as BRSIPR Bel and BRS Camila, as alternatives to the imported cultivars, traditionally planted in Brazil. We evaluated the cultivars BRSIPR Bel, BRS Camila and Agata growing under four planting spacing (15, 20, 25 and 30 cm among seeds in line) in a field naturally infested with Ralstonia solanacearum in Brasilia, Brazil. The experimental design was a split plot with four replications, spacing as plots and cultivars as subplots. At 59 days after planting (DAP), the incidence of plants with symptoms of bacterial wilt was evaluated and during harvest, at 116 DAP, total mass of tubers, mass of marketable tubers, total number of tubers, and number of marketable tubers were evaluated. ‘BRSIPR Bel’, ‘Agata’ and ‘BRS Camila’ presented susceptibility levels to bacterial wilt of 20, 30 and 80% of symptomatic plants at 59 DAP, respectively. In response to a higher bacterial wilt susceptibility, ‘BRS Camila’ had the lowest yield. No effect of plant spacing was observed. ‘BRSIPR Bel’ and ‘Agata’ had a higher resistance level in comparison to ‘BRS Camila’, which led to a higher productivity under the evaluated conditions.</p><p></p
