A Unidade de Execução de Pesquisa de Âmbito Estadual - UEPAE/Rio Branco, vem desenvolvendo estudos com os objetivos de identificar as deficiências minerais de bovinos na microrregião Alto Purus-Acre, determinando as interrelações entre os níveis de minerais no solo, nas forrageiras e nos tecidos animais durante as estações chuvosa e seca.bitstream/item/145816/1/1097.pd

Methane emissions from a flooded rice field in the south of Brazil.

The State of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil cultivates about 1Mha of rice in paddy fields. The soils are prepared using either conventional tillage (CT, 41% of the area) or no tillage (NT, 14% of area), the remaining falling in a mixed soil-preparation category. The outcomes of the current study represent the first evaluation of CH4 emissions from flooded rice fields in the south of Brazil. This information will feed the Brazilian greenhouse gas inventory. The study was carried out from January through March 2003 at the IRGA experimental station located in the municipality of Cachoerinha, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Rice has been cultivated in this Gleisol area since 1994 using either the CT or NT system. The closed chamber method was used to collect air samples from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon on a weekly basis or in 24-hour campaigns; samples were analyzed using gas chromatography. Soil and plant parameters were also measured in order to determine which ecosystem factors affect CH4 emissions from the soil into the atmosphere. Along the period, CH4 emission rates varied from 24 to 703 mg m-2 day-1. NT plot emissions were initially greater than those from the CT plot, probably due to having maintained the crop residues on the surface of soil in the NT system. Nevertheless, CH4 emission rates in the CT plot were higher than in the NT plot 14 days after flooding, probably due to the higher root mass in the deeper soil layer in the NT system. The close relationship (P<0.01) found between CH4 emissions and soil temperature in both systems explains 60% of CH4 emissions. Total CH4 emissions were 33 and 22 g m-2 in the CT and NT systems, respectively. The emission variation between the soil preparation systems corresponds to 2,860 kg ha-1 CO2 equivalents. Moreover, this reduction represents 0.8 Mg ha-1 yr-1 C equivalents, greater than the average value of 0.58 Mg C ha-1 year-1 for C sequestration in agricultural soils in the subtropical region of Brazil. The 24-hour campaign emissions produced a sigmoid curve into both the atmosphere and the chamber, albeit with an inverse relationship. The 24-hour emissions were controlled by the soil and flood-water temperatures

Produtividade e análise de indicadores técnicos do maracujazeiro-amarelo irrigado em diferentes horários.

Diante da necessidade de pesquisas sobre o manejo da irrigação em horários alternativos e com menor custo com eletricidade na produção do maracujá-amarelo irrigado objetivou-se, com esta pesquisa, avaliar os efeitos do fracionamento da irrigação em diferentes horários de aplicação sobre a produtividade e qualidade do fruto do maracujazeiro-amarelo tal como, também, a quantificação de indicadores técnicos; para tanto se conduziu um experimento no município de Pentecoste, CE, no período de setembro de 2009 a agosto de 2010, no delineamento em blocos ao acaso com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos corresponderam aos horários de aplicação da lâmina de água requerida (LR) pela cultura (T1: 100% da LR às 07 h; T2: 50% da LR às 07 h e 50% da LR às 15 h; T3: 25% da LR às 07 h; 50% da LR às 15 h e 25% da LR às 21 h 30 min; T4: 100% da LR às 21 h 30 min: T5: 50% da LR às 07 h e 50% da LR às 21 h 30 min). De acordo com os resultados a aplicação fracionada da lâmina de água requerida pela cultura com 50% às 07 h e 50% às 21 h 30 min, foi a alternativa que proporcionou a maior produtividade do maracujazeiro; os atributos de qualidade dos frutos de maracujazeiro sólidos solúveis totais e pH se mantiveram indiferentes quanto aos tratamentos

Carbon content in sandy soils under different use and management systems.

Quantifying soil carbon content is important to assess soil indicators related to adequate management conducted by producers in their agricultural systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the total soil carbon content in soils under different use and management systems
