Tolerância de espécies de Mucuna a herbicidas utilizados na cultura da cana-de-açúcar Tolerance of Mucuna species to herbicides used in sugarcane culture

Os fluxos de emergência de Mucuna em canaviais, mesmo após a aplicação dos herbicidas para o manejo de plantas daninhas, permitiu elaborar a hipótese de que essas plantas são tolerantes aos herbicidas comumente utilizados na cultura. Para comprovar a hipótese, objetivou-se estudar a tolerância de Mucuna aterrima, Mucuna cinerea e Mucuna deeringiana a herbicidas de diferentes mecanismos de ação aplicados em pré e pós-emergência. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados com nove tratamentos, em cinco repetições, dispostos em esquema fatorial 3x3, mais testemunhas. Na pré-emergência, o primeiro fator foi constituído pelos herbicidas sulfentrazone (800 g ha-1), imazapic (245 g ha-1) e amicarbazone (1.400 g ha-1), e o segundo, pelas três espécies de Mucuna, além de uma testemunha para cada espécie estudada. Na pós-emergência, alteraram-se os herbicidas para clomazone (1.100 g ha-1), ametryn+trifloxysulfuron-sodium (1.463 + 37 g ha-1) e 2,4-D (1.209 g ha-1). No manejo químico em pré-emergência, verificou-se que as espécies foram sensíveis ao herbicida amicarbazone, seguido de sulfentrazone, e tolerantes ao imazapic. Na pós-emergência, todas as espécies foram sensíveis ao ametryn+trifloxysulfuron-sodium e 2,4-D, mas tolerantes ao clomazone.<br>The emergence of Mucuna species in sugarcane plantations, even after herbicide spraying for weed management, allowed us to elaborate the hypothesis that these plants are tolerant to the herbicides commonly used in the culture. Thus, to prove this hypothesis, this work was carried out to study the tolerance of Mucuna aterrima, Mucuna cinerea and Mucuna deeringiana to application of herbicides with different mechanisms of action in pre- and post-emergence. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with 9 treatments and five replications in a factorial 3 x 3, plus controls. At pre-emergence, the first factor was constituted by the herbicides sulfentrazone (800 g ha-1), imazapic (245 g ha-1), and amicarbazone (1,400 g ha-1), and the second factor by the Mucuna species, besides the additional control for each species studied. At post- emergence, the herbicides tested were clomazone (1,100 g ha-1), ametryn+trifloxysulfuron-sodium (1,463 + 37 g ha-1), and 2,4-D (1,209 g ha-1). In the chemical management at pre-emergence, the species were sensitive to amicarbazone, followed by sulfentrazone, and tolerant to imazapic. At post-emergence, all species were sensitive to ametryn + trifloxysulfuron-sodium and 2,4-D, but tolerant to clomazone

Mobilidade e persistência de herbicidas aplicados em pré-emergência em diferentes solos Mobility and persistence of herbicides applied in pre-emergence on different soils

O objetivo deste ensaio foi verificar a mobilidade e persistência de herbicidas aplicados em pré-emergência em diferentes solos e quantidades de palha de cana-de-açúcar. Os herbicidas ametryn + clomazone (1.500 + 1.000 g i.a. ha-1), isoxaflutole (187,5 g i.a. ha-1) e diuron + hexazinone (1.170 + 330 g i.a. ha-1) foram aplicados em solo com textura argilosa e média nas seguintes condições: aplicação sobre 10 e 15 t ha-1 de palha com posterior simulação de chuva; simulação de chuva sobre o solo seguida da aplicação dos herbicidas, sendo coberto posteriormente com palha seca (10 t ha-1); aplicação dos herbicidas no solo sem palha; e testemunha. Aos 10, 20, 40 e 60 dias após aplicação dos herbicidas (DAA), foram semeados como bioindicadores sorgo e pepino, que foram avaliados com relação à fitotoxicidade aos 21 dias após emergência. A mistura ametryn + clomazone aplicada diretamente no solo controlou o bioindicador até 40 DAA, entretanto, após esse período, o efeito residual foi menor. A palha de cana-de-açúcar afetou negativamente o desempenho deste produto. O herbicida isoxaflutole aplicado diretamente no solo apresentou efeito residual até 60 DAA, com 82,5 e 77,5% de controle do bioindicador, em solos com textura argilosa e média, respectivamente; a presença de 10 e 15 t ha-1 de palha não alterou sua eficácia até 20 DAA. Para diuron + hexazinone aplicados no solo sem a presença de palha, verificou-se persistência até 60 DAA, principalmente em solo com textura argilosa; a deposição de 15 t ha-1 de palha reduziu a eficácia desta mistura.<br>The objective of this work was to verify the mobility and persistence of herbicides applied in pre-emergence on different soils and amounts of sugarcane straw. The herbicides ametryn + clomazone (1,500 + 1,000 g i.a. ha-1), isoxaflutole (187,5 g.i.a. ha-1) and diuron + hexazinone (1,170 + 330 g i.a. ha-1) were applied in soil with clayey and medium texture under the following conditions:on 10 and 15 t ha-1 of sugarcane straw followed by rain simulation ; on the ground and covered with 10 t ha-1 of sugarcane straw; on the ground without straw; and control without herbicide. At 10, 20, 40 and 60 days after herbicide application (DAA), species bioindicators such as sorghum and cucumber were sown. Percentage of phytotoxicity was observed at 21 days after emergence. The mixture ametryn + clomazone applied directly on the soil affected the bioindicator up to 40 DAA; however, after this period, the residual effect was smaller. The sugarcane straw affected the performance of this product negatively. The herbicide isoxaflutole applied directly in the soil presented residual effect up to 60 DAA, with 82.5 and 77.5% of bioindicator control, in soils with clayey and medium texture, respectively, and the presence of 10 and 15 t ha-1 of straw did not alter efficiency up to 20 DAA. The herbicide diuron + hexazinone applied on the soil without straw presented residual effect up to 60 DAA, mainly in soil with clayey texture. With 15 t ha-1 of straw, significant reduction was observed in the effectiveness of this mixture

Este artigo se propõe a apresentar exemplos de questões científicas que puderam ser respondidas no contexto do Projeto LBA (Large Sale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia) graças à contribuição de informações derivadas de sensoriamento remoto. Os métodos de sensoriamento remoto permitem integrar informações sobre os vários processos físicos e biológicos em diferentes escalas de tempo e espaço. Nesse artigo, são enfatizados aqueles avanços de conhecimento que jamais seriam alcançados sem a concorrência da informação derivada de sensoriamento.<br>This paper aims to assess the contribution of remote sensing technology in addressing key questions raised by the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA). The answers to these questions foster the knowledge on the climatic, biogechemical and hydrologic functioning of the Amazon, as well as on the impact of human activities at regional and global scales. Remote sensing methods allow integrating information on several processes at different temporal and spatial scales. By doing so, it is possible to perceive hidden relations among processes and structures, enhancing their teleconnections. Key advances in the remote sensing science are summarized in this article, which is particularly focused on information that would not be possible to be retrieved without the concurrence of this technology

Separomics applied to the proteomics and peptidomics of low-abundance proteins: choice of methods and challenges - a review

The enrichment and isolation of proteins are considered limiting steps in proteomic studies. Identification of proteins whose expression is transient, those that are of low-abundance, and of natural peptides not described in databases, is still a great challenge. Plant extracts are in general complex, and contaminants interfere with the identification of proteins involved in important physiological processes, such as plant defense against pathogens. This review discusses the challenges and strategies of separomics applied to the identification of low-abundance proteins and peptides in plants, especially in plants challenged by pathogens. Separomics is described as a group of methodological strategies for the separation of protein molecules for proteomics. Several tools have been used to remove highly abundant proteins from samples and also non-protein contaminants. The use of chromatographic techniques, the partition of the proteome into subproteomes, and an effort to isolate proteins in their native form have allowed the isolation and identification of rare proteins involved in different processes
