Avaliação de fontes e doses de fósforo no crescimento inicial do milho.

RESUMO: O fósforo é componente vital para todos os seres vivos e é essencial para a produção agrícola. No Brasil, a maior parte dos solos agricultáveis tem baixos teores de fósforo disponível. Para atender as exigências das plantas e suprimento adequado de fósforo há a necessidade da aplicação de adubos fosfatados. Dentre as opções de fontes no mercado, os fosfatos totalmente acidulados são os usualmente comercializados. Com o aumento do uso dos fosfatos naturais reativos, a avaliação da eficiência da aplicação do fertilizante é importante no manejo da adubação fosfatada. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, utilizando um Nitossolo. O delineamento experimental empregado foi o inteiramente casualizado com os tratamentos arranjados em um fatorial 4 x 2 com quatro repetições. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de fontes e doses de fósforo no crescimento inicial do milho. A produção de matéria seca e os teores de P da parte aérea das plantas de milho aumentaram com o incremento das doses de fósforo, dependentemente da fonte de P considerada. Contudo, o Superfosfato Triplo foi mais eficiente que o fosfato de Arad, garantindo melhor nutrição e crescimento inicial das plantas de milho. ABSTRACT: Phosphorus is an essential element for all living organisms and important also for agricultural production. The content of P in most agricultural soils in Brazil is low. In order to supply the plant needs and the soil fixation, application of P fertilizer is required. Among the various options of P fertilizers in the market, the totally acidified phosphates are usually commercialized. The evaluation of the efficiency of the reactive natural phosphates as P fertilizers is important due to the increase of the utilization of cheaper sources of natural P. The experiment was carried out in green house, using a Nitossolo. The experimental design used was complete randomized design, with the treatments in a 4x2 factorial arrangement, and four replications. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the effects of sources and rates of P on the growth of corn. The production of dry matter and the content of P on the corn leave and stalks (above ground corn parts) increased as rates of P increased, regardless the P sources tested. However, the Triple Super Phosphate was more efficient compared with Arad phosphate, providing better nutrition and initial growth of corn plants

The pasta phase within density dependent hadronic models

In the present paper we investigate the onset of the pasta phase with different parametrisations of the density dependent hadronic model and compare the results with one of the usual parametrisation of the non-linear Walecka model. The influence of the scalar-isovector virtual delta meson is shown. At zero temperature two different methods are used, one based on coexistent phases and the other on the Thomas-Fermi approximation. At finite temperature only the coexistence phases method is used. npe matter with fixed proton fractions and in beta-equilibrium are studied. We compare our results with restrictions imposed on the the values of the density and pressure at the inner edge of the crust, obtained from observations of the Vela pulsar and recent isospin diffusion data from heavy-ion reactions, and with predictions from spinodal calculations.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures and 7 table
