Espécies e atividade de alumínio na solução de solo arenoso com adição de dejetos líquidos de suínos

The application of slurry may reducing the bioavailability the aluminum (Al), by increasing the concentration of soluble ligands. The study aimed to assess how the long-term use of pig slurry is able to modify the exchangeable Al content, activity, and distribution of chemical species of Al in soil solution. Soil samples of Typic Hapludalf were obtained from an experiment conducted for eight years with 19 pig slurry applications of 0, 20, 40 and 80 m3 ha-1 at the Federal University of Santa Maria, in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. The soil samples was collected stratified in layers, to determine exchangeable Al content and extract the solution. The soil solution concentrations of the main cations, anions, dissolved organic carbon and pH were assessed. The distribution of the chemical species of Al and the activity of the Al3+ species was obtained through Visual Minteq software. The history of pig slurry applications did not modify the exchangeable Al content and had little impact on Al3+ activity in soil solution. Pig slurry applications reduce the phytotoxic potential of Al by increasing the concentration of soluble inorganic ligands, thus increasing the proportion of AlHPO4+ and AlSO4+ in soil solutionO objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito das aplicações de dejetos líquidos de suínos no teor de Al trocável, na atividade e na distribuição das espécies químicas de Al na solução do solo. Amostras de um Argissolo foram obtidas de um experimento conduzido durante oito anos, com 19 aplicações de 0, 20, 40 e 80 m3 ha-1 de dejetos líquidos de suínos. As amostras de solo foram coletadas em camadas, para determinação do Al trocável e extração da solução do solo pelo método da pasta de saturação. Na solução, foram determinados as concentrações dos principais cátions e ânions, o carbono orgânico dissolvido e o pH. A distribuição das espécies químicas de Al e a atividade da espécie Al3+ foram obtidas pelo programa Visual Minteq. A aplicação de dejetos líquidos de suínos não altera o teor de Al trocável no solo e a atividade de Al3+ na solução do solo. A baixa atividade de Al3+ nas camadas superficiais não apresenta risco de toxidez para a maioria das culturas. A adição de dejetos líquidos de suínos aumenta a proporção das espécies AlHPO4+ e AlSO4+ na solução do solo, por incrementar a concentração de ligantes inorgânicos solúveis

Produtividade de uvas e composição do mosto de videiras ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ fertilizadas com composto orgânico e ureia

Urea and organic compost are applied as a nitrogen (N) source in vineyards. The aim of this study was to evaluate the yield, total N content in the leaves and the must composition in grapevines with the application of organic compost and urea. ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grapevines, in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 crop seasons were subjected to the application of 40 kg N ha-1 in the form of organic compost and urea; but there were also unfertilized grapevines. In both crop seasons, leaves were collected at the stages of full flowering and at the change in color of the berries, and the total N content were analyzed; grape yield was evaluated and enological attributes were determined in the must. The application of organic compost and urea did not affect the N content in the leaf nor the grape yield in the second crop season evaluated. However, in the first crop season, grape yield was greater in the grapevines with application of organic compost to the soil. The addition of N sources did not affect the total nutrient content in the must but, in the second crop season, the grape must from the grapevines with the addition of organic compost had a lower soluble solids concentration and a higher total acidity value, as well as tartaric and malic acid values.A ureia e o composto orgânico são aplicados em vinhedos como fonte de nitrogênio (N). O estudo objetivou avaliar a produtividade, o teor de N total em folhas e a composição do mosto em videiras submetidas à aplicação de composto orgânico e ureia. Videiras ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ nas safras de 2008/2009 e 2009/2010 foram submetidas à aplicação de 40 kg de N ha-1 na forma de composto orgânico e ureia, mas videiras também não foram adubadas. Nas duas safras foram coletadas folhas no florescimento e na mudança da cor das bagas, preparadas e submetidas à análise de N total. A produção de uva foi avaliada e atributos enológicos foram determinados no mosto. A aplicação de composto orgânico e ureia não afetou o teor de N total nas folhas e a produção de uva na segunda safra avaliada. Mas, na primeira safra, a produção de uva foi maior nas videiras submetidas à aplicação com composto orgânico no solo. A adição de fontes de N não afetou o conteúdo de nutrientes no mosto mas, na segunda safra, o mosto da uva derivado das plantas com a adição de composto orgânico apresentou baixo teor de sólidos solúveis totais, maior valor de acidez, ácido tartárico e ácido málico

PERFIL DE USO DE CONTRACEPTIVO ORAL COMBINADO E FATOR DE RISCO PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO DE TROMBOSE VENOSA EM MULHERES DE IDADE REPRODUTIVA. REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Os anticoncepcionais orais modernos oferecem contracepção altamente eficaz, além de benefícios não contraceptivos bem estabelecidos. O tromboembolismo venoso, embora raro, representa um dos eventos adversos sérios da contracepção hormonal. Estudos indicam que o tromboembolismo venoso em não-usuárias de idade reprodutiva atinge 4-5/10.000 mulheres por ano, já com o uso de contraceptivos orais a taxa aumenta para 9-10/10.000 mulheres por ano. Comparativamente, as taxas de tromboembolismo venoso na gravidez aproximam- se de 29/10.000 no total e podem atingir 300-400/10.000 no puerpério imediato. Evidências contraditórias e a influência da mídia sobre o risco de tromboembolismo venoso atribuído ao componente progestagênico das pílulas mais recentes têm levado as mulheres ao medo e à confusão sobre a segurança dos contraceptivos orais. A avaliação de risco individualizada deve ser sempre realizada visando identificar mulheres para melhor aconselhamento contraceptivo. Para a maioria das mulheres saudáveis em idade reprodutiva, os benefícios dos contraceptivos orais combinados superam os riscos

Prediction of Nitrogen Dosage in ‘Alicante Bouschet’ Vineyards with Machine Learning Models

Vineyard soils normally do not provide the amount of nitrogen (N) necessary for red wine production. Traditionally, the N concentration in leaves guides the N fertilization of vineyards to reach high grape yields and chemical composition under the ceteris paribus assumption. Moreover, the carryover effects of nutrients and carbohydrates stored by perennials such as grapevines are neglected. Where a well-documented database is assembled, machine learning (ML) methods can account for key site-specific features and carryover effects, impacting the performance of grapevines. The aim of this study was to predict, using ML tools, N management from local features to reach high berry yield and quality in ‘Alicante Bouschet’ vineyards. The 5-year (2015–2019) fertilizer trial comprised six N doses (0–20–40–60–80–100 kg N ha−1) and three regimes of irrigation. Model features included N dosage, climatic indices, foliar N application, and stem diameter of the preceding season, all of which were indices of the carryover effects. Accuracy of ML models was the highest with a yield cutoff of 14 t ha−1 and a total anthocyanin content (TAC) of 3900 mg L−1. Regression models were more accurate for total soluble solids (TSS), total titratable acidity (TTA), pH, TAC, and total phenolic content (TPC) in the marketable grape yield. The tissue N ranges differed between high marketable yield and TAC, indicating a trade-off about 24 g N kg−1 in the diagnostic leaf. The N dosage predicted varied from 0 to 40 kg N ha−1 depending on target variable, this was calculated from local features and carryover effects but excluded climatic indices. The dataset can increase in size and diversity with the collaboration of growers, which can help to cross over the numerous combinations of features found in vineyards. This research contributes to the rational use of N fertilizers, but with the guarantee that obtaining high productivity must be with adequate composition

Biomass decomposition and nutrient release from black oat and hairy vetch residues deposited in a vineyard

A significant quantity of nutrients in vineyards may return to the soil each year through decomposition of residues from cover plants. This study aimed to evaluate biomass decomposition and nutrient release from residues of black oats and hairy vetch deposited in the vines rows, with and without plastic shelter, and in the between-row areas throughout the vegetative and productive cycle of the plants. The study was conducted in a commercial vineyard in Bento Gonçalves, RS, Brazil, from October 2008 to February 2009. Black oat (Avena strigosa) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) residues were collected, subjected to chemical (C, N, P, K, Ca, and Mg) and biochemical (cellulose - Cel, hemicellulose - Hem, and lignin - Lig content) analyses, and placed in litter bags, which were deposited in vines rows without plastic shelter (VPRWS), in vines rows with plastic shelter (VPRS), and in the between-row areas (BR). We collected the residues at 0, 33, 58, 76, and 110 days after deposition of the litter bags, prepared the material, and subjected it to analysis of total N, P, K, Ca, and Mg content. The VPRS contained the largest quantities and percentages of dry matter and residual nutrients (except for Ca) in black oat residues from October to February, which coincides with the period from flowering up to grape harvest. This practice led to greater protection of the soil surface, avoiding surface runoff of the solution derived from between the rows, but it retarded nutrient cycling. The rate of biomass decomposition and nutrient release from hairy vetch residues from October to February was not affected by the position of deposition of the residues in the vineyard, which may especially be attributed to the lower values of the C/N and Lig/N ratios. Regardless of the type of residue, black oat or hairy vetch, the greatest decomposition and nutrient release mainly occurred up to 33 days after deposition of the residues on the soil surface, which coincided with the flowering of the grapevines, which is one of the phenological stages of greatest demand for nutrients

Fertilización fosfatada para plantas jóvenes de vid Chardonnay y Pinot Noir en suelo arenoso

ABSTRACT Sandy soils of the Campanha Gaúcha region have naturally low levels of available phosphorus (P), which is why special attention to pre-planting fertilization is important. However, there are no studies that enable a proper calibration method to determine P content available in soil for young grapevines. The study aimed to evaluate phosphorus fertilization for young grapevines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in order to provide support for the recommendation of P in sandy soils. In October, 2011 we applied six doses of P (0, 10, 20, 40, 60 and 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 yr-1) in soil and transplanted cultivars of Chardonnay (experiment 1) and Pinot Noir (ex-periment 2). The design of each experiment was randomized blocks with ten plants and three replications. We evaluated P content in the soil and leaves. We determined plant height, stem diameter and dry matter of the pruned material from crop seasons 2011/12 to 2014/15. The addition of increasing P doses elevated P content available in soil three years after implementing the experiments, but exclusively in doses above 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, respectively. However, P content in soil for every applied P dose remained below sufficiency level, and therefore growth parameters and leaf P content were virtually unaffected.RESUMEN Los suelos arenosos de la región Campanha Gaúcha son naturalmente bajos en contenidos de fósforo (P) disponible, por lo que requiere una atención especial con la fertilización previo a la siembra. Sin embargo, aún no existen trabajos de investigación que permitan una calibración adecuada para determinar el contenido de P disponible en suelos para el cultivo de vides viníferas jóvenes. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la fertilización fosfatada en las variedades jóvenes de vid Chardonnay y Pinot Noir a fin de sugerir dosis a la recomendación de P, en suelos arenosos. En Octubre de 2011 fueron aplicadas seis dosis de P (0, 10, 20, 40, 60 y 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 año-1) en suelo y transplantadas las variedades Chardonnay (experimento 1) y Pinot Noir (experimento 2). El diseño experimental fue de bloques completos al azar, con tres repeticiones, y diez plantas. Fueron evaluados los contenidos de P en el suelo, en hojas, altura de plantas, diámetro del tallo y materia seca del material podado durante las cosechas del 2011/12 a 2014/15. La adición de dosis crecientes de P incrementó el contenido de P disponible en el suelo después de los tres años del establecimiento de los experimentos cuando las dosis fueron superiores de 40 y 60 de P2O5 ha-1 en las variedades Pinot Noir y Chardonnay, respectivamente. En todos los estados los contenidos en P en suelo, fueron suficientes, por lo tanto, el crecimiento y contenido de P en las Hojas, no fueron afectadas

Aluminum species and activity in sandy soil solution with pig slurry addition

<div><p>Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of pig slurry applications on the exchangeable Al content, activity, and distribution of Al chemical species in the soil solution. Soil samples of a Typic Hapludalf were obtained from an experiment conducted during eight years, with 19 applications of 0, 20, 40, and 80 m3 ha-1 pig slurry. The soil samples were collected in stratified layers to determine exchangeable Al content and to extract the soil solution by the saturated soil paste method. The concentrations of the main cations and anions, dissolved organic carbon, and pH in the soil solution were determined. The distribution of the chemical species of Al and the activity of the Al3+ species were obtained through the Visual Minteq software. The application of pig slurry does not change the exchangeable Al content in the soil and the Al3+ activity in the soil solution. The low Al3+ activity in the topsoil layers does not present risk of toxicity for most crops. Pig slurry applications increase the proportion of the AlHPO4 + and AlSO4 + species in the soil solution, by increasing the concentration of soluble inorganic ligands.</p></div
