Manual do usuário do programa AGROSCRE: apoio à avaliação de tendências de transporte de princípios ativos de agrotóxicos.
O programa AGROSCRE foi elaborado para conferir agilidade da avaliação de modelos matemáticos screening, que auxiliam a análise do potencial de contaminação de agrotóxicos em água. Este trabalho apresenta o manual do usuário deste programa, possibilitando uma maior divulgação do uso dos modelos ?screening? e fomentando avaliações, cada vez mais fidedignas, da realidade local do ambiente de produção agrícola nacional, na medida em que os dados de entrada forem refinados. Foi desenvolvido em linguagem Quick Basic 4.5 e necessita de 11K de memória para ser utilizado em modo executável.bitstream/item/204159/1/Manual-Agroscre-Pessoa-2007.pdf; bitstream/item/103181/1/Doc-61-Agroscre.zipEndereço para baixar o programa AGROSCRE: http://www.cnpma.embrapa.br/forms/agroscre.php

Presence of Atrazine in Water in a Recharge Area of Guarany Aquifer in Brazil
The region of Ribeirao Preto City located in Sao Paulo State, southeastern Brazil, is an important sugarcane, soybean and corn producing area. This region is also an important recharge area for groundwater of the Guarany aquifer, a water supply source of the city and region. The cultivation of grain and sugar cane in thes area demands the frequent use of the herbicide atrazine (2-chloro-4- (ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-S-triazine). This research was conducted to characterize the potential contamination of groundwater with atrazine. Surface water samples were collected in the Espraiado stream in a selected watershed on the area, during the years of 1995-1998. Groundwater was also collected in wells located at the edge of the watershed during the years of 1999 to 2002. The water samples were analyzed by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) procedure followed by GC-MS form confirmation. To predict the atrazine leaching in the area, the CMLS-94 (Chemical Movement Layered Soil) simulation model was also used. Only four atrazine detections in surface water were found, however, none of them were confirmed with GC-MS. No atrazine was detected in groundwater samples. The results obtained by the CMLS-94 simulations predicted that atrazine, after four years from the application date, would not have reached the depth of the confined aquifer (40m)
Soil tillage systems and herbicide leaching in Brazil.
The Guarany aquifer located in South America has a dimension of approximately 1,200,000 Km2 and spreads to areas of eight Brazilian states plus parts of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. The region of Ribeirao Preto City, located in Southeast of Brazil, Sao Paulo State, is a sugarcane, soybean, peanuts, and corn producing area. This region is also an important recharge area to the aquifer. Intensive farming on the area has demanded constant use of herbicides and fertilizers. Triazine herbicides such as atrazine, ametryn, and simazine are used on the area and are known to have potential for groundwater contamination. Currently most of the sugar cane crop is mechanically harvested without burning. This practice allows the straw to decompose in soil, maintain a better soil structure, and interferes with the movement and leaching of solutes. It is a common practice to sow peanuts after sugarcane harvest using no-tillage or conventional planting systems. To evaluate the effects of herbicide leaching into groundwater during notillage planting of peanut after mechanically harvested sugarcane, a soil leaching study using soil columns has been conducted. The results showed a general trend of higher density and lower porosity in soils under no-tillage, mainly at the top layer. The Hydraulic Conductivity determined in soil columns was higher for soils under conventional system than no-tillage, 10.82 and 4.59 cm/h respectively,indicating higher leaching potential for conventional system
Thermal Diffusion of a Two Layer System
In this paper thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of a two layer
system is examined from the theoretical point of view. We use the one
dimensional heat diffusion equation with the appropriate solution in each layer
and boundary conditions at the interfaces to calculate the heat transport in
this bounded system. We also consider the heat flux at the surface of the samle
as boundary condition instead of using a fixed tempertaure. From this, we
obtain an expression for the efective thermal diffusivity of the composite
sample in terms of the thermal diffusivity of its constituent materials
whithout any approximations.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure, RevTeX v. 3.0 macro packag
Software AGROSCRE: apoio à avaliação de tendências de transporte de princípios ativos de agrotóxicos.
AGROSCRE é um programa computacional elaborado em linguagem Quick Basic 4.5, para facilitar a avaliação de princípios ativos de agrotóxicos pelos métodos de GOSS, pelo índice de GUS e por critérios da EPA ? Environmental Protection Agency . O método de GOSS indica o potencial de transporte de princípio ativo associado a sedimento ou dissolvido em água e o método de GUS o potencial de lixiviação dos princípios ativos (p.a.). Os critérios da EPA também avaliam essas tendências de transporte. Para a avaliação de um mesmo princípio ativo pelos 3 modelos são necessárias as seguintes informações dos p.a.: constante de adsorção ao carbono orgânico (Koc), meia vida no solo (t½ solo) , meia vida em água (t½ água), solubilidade em água e constante de Henry (H); sendo que os dados mínimos para rodar pelo menos um dos modelos são Koc e t½ solo. O programa roda em arquivo executável em qualquer computador tipo PC, em ambiente amigável ao usuário.bitstream/CNPMA/5802/1/boletim_26.pd
