Effect of Fertileader® Vital on green pea maturation

The changes of tenderness of three green pea varieties with different maturity were studied after Fertileader® Vital fertilizer treatment. The fertilizer treatment caused signifi cant differences in the tenderness of treated plants in every year. After the second measuring time; the treated plants showed better quality than the control ones. The treated varieties kept their tenderness longer due to this foliar fertilizer, the yield have better quality so even better suited to the requirement of canning industry. Use of Fertileader® Vital is of an economic importance because high economic benefi t can be realized in one hectare after Fertileader® Vital treatment. By using this foliar fertilizer 12,840 HUF extra profi ts can be realized by producing green peas of I. quality class instead of yield with II. quality category. This extra profit could increase to 447,840 HUF considering that green peas belong still to the II. quality class after fertilizer treatment when the quality of non-treated plants are no more suitable for the canning industry

Análise das demonstrações contábeis : um estudo de caso da Empresa Tupy S/A

Orientadora : Profa. Dra. Mayla Cristina CostaMonografia (especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Curso de Especialização em Gestão de NegóciosInclui referênciasResumo : A análise da Demonstração Contábil é um importante instrumento para que os contadores possam transmitir aos gestores e sócios das empresas informações capazes de transformar o seu desempenho e propiciar condições para a sua continuidade. Diante disto, este trabalho procurou demonstrar a importância de uma análise, realizada de forma clara e objetiva, possibilitando aos gestores e sócios tomar a melhor decisão, para que sua empresa possa continuar ativa neste mercado cada vez mais competitivo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi elaborar um relatório de analise, levando em consideração, números e informações extraídas de relatórios publicados pela própria empresa. A empresa escolhida foi a Tupy S.A, sendo o período compreendido nos últimos três anos públicos: 2012, 2013 e 2014. O estudo foi classificado de natureza descritiva, enquadrando-se em estudo de caso. Para a realização deste trabalho fez-se pesquisas bibliográficas em livros e artigo científicos de autores de relevância no assunto e também pesquisas de artigos na internet. Após fazer a análise da empresa em questão observou-se que a mesma apesar das dificuldades e incertezas devido ao cenário político em que o pais está passando conseguiu obter índices favoráveis o que não afetou em seu desenvolvimento. Sugerimos a empresa que faça uma análise de viabilidade para que possam além das Análises das Demonstrações Contábeis utilizarem o Balanced Scorecard, um importante instrumento de medida, que possibilitará a mesma colher informações a partir de suas estratégias. Tais informações serão extremamente necessárias para traçar novas medidas para o crescimento e desenvolvimento da empresa

Catalytic properties of lipoxygenase extracted from different varieties of Pisum sativum and Lens culinaris

Lipoxygenase (LOX, E.C. 1.13.11.12), among its various roles, catalyzes the degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and it is considered to be one of the main causes of undesirable off-flavor developments in legumes. The role of LOX in postharvest physiology is particularly significant in seeds with high values of lipoxygenase and linoleic acid levels. This research aimed to study the biochemical properties of the LOX extracted from green pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Léda, Zeusz, Zsuzsi), dry pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Hanka, Irina, Lutra), and lentil (Lens culinaris L., var. Pinklevi, Rézi, Castelluccio), using linoleic acid as a substrate. The raw extracts showed different catalytic properties, with dry pea (var. Irina) that expressed the highest LOX activity, while lentil (var. Pinklevi) expressed the lowest activity. To complete the biochemical characterization of the crude LOX extracts, their optimal pH and temperature were also examined. The highest value of lipoxygenase activity in the pH range 6–7 was measured in all legumes. The optimal temperature for all extracts fell within the range of 30–60°C given the nutritional importance of legumes. This study will serve as a basis for further detailed investigation of the legumes LOX activity and its roles in food products related to legumes. Practical applications: This study investigated the biochemical properties of lipoxygenase (LOX) extracted from different varieties of lentil and pea, the two important leguminous crops serving as the main protein source for the population of humans worldwide. The biochemical properties of LOX extracted from legumes showed large differences in terms of kinetic properties. The results of this study revealed that the use of lipoxygenase can be a suitable index for managing stabilization techniques of lentil and pea, in order to inhibit the lipid oxidation in grain legume without compromising its nutritional value

Soil carbon dioxide emissions in eggplants based on cover crop residue management

n this study, cover crop residue management as a strategy to identify agricultural practices suitable for increasing soil carbon (C) storage and contributing to the mitigation of CO2 in a cover crop–eggplant sequence was evaluated. The treatments applied were: (a) four winter managements [three cover crops (hairy vetch, oat and oilseed rape) and a bare soil]; and (b) three residue managements [residues incorporated into the soil at a depth of 0.3 m as deep tillage (DT), residues incorporated into the soil at a depth of 0.1 m as shallow tillage (ST), and residues left on soil surface (RS)]. Eggplant biomass and C content, soil CO2 flux, soil temperature and moisture were measured. Hairy vetch under DT showed the highest emission rate during the eggplant cultivation. At eggplant harvest time, CO2–C emissions were high in hairy vetch, intermediate in oat and oilseed rape, and low in bare soil (5.4, 4.2 and 3.3 Mg ha−1, respectively). Among residue managements, CO2–C emissions were higher in ST and DT than in RS (4.5 vs. 3.7 Mg ha−1, respectively). Despite contributing to the highest soil CO2 flux, the decomposition of hairy vetch residues supports the production of eggplant crop, as it is shown by the carbon input/output ratio, especially under RS conditions representing a temporary sink of CO2–C. As a system, hairy vetch RS is the most productively sustainable because it is simultaneously yielding the high eggplant crop biomass and retaining C residues in the soil
