Development of sunflower plants under different conditions of water supply<br>Desenvolvimento de plantas de Desenvolvimento de plantas de girassol sob diferentes condições de fornecimento de água
Usually lack or excess of water in the soil are harmful to plant development. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the growth of sunflower plants under different water holding capacity (WHC). The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse; we used sunflower plants (Embrapa 122/V-2000) and four treatments: 60%, 80% and 100% of WHC and a in flooding level, in randomized blocks with four replications. Plants were evaluated weekly between stages V6 to R4. We evaluated the plant height, stem diameter, leaf chlorophyll content, leaves, stems, shoots and roots dry matter, number of leaves, leaf area, and the relationship between roots and shoot dry matter. The results showed that the sunflower plants had greater height and stem diameter when subjected to higher water availability, however, the greatest plant height did not mean a better development of the sunflower. In water stress the chlorophyll increased content was limited, and in treatments with high water availability, the content initially increased, but decreased in latest assessments. With respect to dry matter of stem, root and leaf, number of leaves and leaf area when under 60% of WHC was verified smaller values. For the root/shoot was observed higher values for treatment 60% of WHC. Thus, the better development of these plants was observed when exposed to 80 and 100% of the WHC. A falta ou excesso de água no solo são prejudiciais ao desenvolvimento das plantas. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento de plantas de girassol em diferentes capacidades de retenção de água (CRA). O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação, com a variedade de girassol Embrapa 122/V-2000, sob o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados com quatro tratamentos (60% CRA, 80% CRA, 100% CRA e condição de alagamento) e quatro repetições. As plantas foram avaliadas semanalmente entre os estádios V6 (caracterizado pela presença de seis folhas com no mÃnimo 4,0 cm) ao R4 (inicio da florescência). Avaliou-se a altura das plantas, diâmetro de caule, teor de clorofila, matéria seca das folhas, do caule, da parte aérea e das raÃzes, número de folhas, área foliar, e a relação entre a matéria seca da raiz e da parte aérea. Os resultados mostraram que as plantas de girassol apresentaram maior altura e diâmetro de colmo quando submetidas à maior disponibilidade de água. Nos tratamentos com estresse hÃdrico o aumento do teor de clorofila foi limitado, e nos tratamentos com maior disponibilidade hÃdrica o teor inicialmente aumentou, mas, nas últimas avaliações decresceu. Apesar da relação raiz/parte aérea ter apresentado maiores valores para o tratamento 60% da CRA, a área foliar, número de folhas, matéria seca do caule, da raiz, e da folha apresentou menores valores a 60% da CRA. Portanto, o melhor desenvolvimento dessas plantas foi observado quando submetidas a 80 e 100% da CRA
Hydrophysical Quality of an Oxisol and Sugarcane Yield in Chisel Plow-Based Sugarcane Ratoon Management
ABSTRACT Mechanical harvesting has increasingly been used in sugarcane production units, and it has often resulted in reduced structural quality of the soil due to soil compaction caused by machine traffic. Thus, sugarcane ratoon crops have often been chiseled to overcome such a problem. The aim of the current study is to assess some physical properties of a Latossolo Vermelho Distroférrico (Rhodic Hapludox) that was chiseled after the third harvest in a sugarcane ratoon crop. The study was conducted in a commercial crop area throughout the 2011/2012 crop year. A randomized block experimental design was used, with five replications. The treatments consisted of five chiseling operations in sugarcane ratoon crops, namely: T1 - single-shank ripper with chiseling to a depth of 0.15 m; T2 - single-shank ripper with chiseling to a depth of 0.30 m; T3 - two-bar ripper with chiseling to a depth of 0.15 m, T4 - two-bar ripper with chiseling to a depth of 0.30 m; and T5 - control group, with no chiseling. Overall, soil chiseling is effective for improving the physical quality of the soil to a depth of 0.15 m, regardless of the equipment and the depth. Two-bar-ripper-based soil chiseling to a depth of 0.30 m provides increased sugarcane yield
Dispersion index of aggregates in a Rhodic Ferrasol cultivated with cane under stillage application
The sugar and alcohol plants generate waste stillage one that needs proper destination. One alternative is the application of this residue to improve soil properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of stillage in the aggregation and productivity of sugar cane grown in three seasons of the soil sampling. The study was conducted in an Red dystrophic Latosol, sandy clay frank, at the BUNGE Monte Verde plant in the municipality of Ponta Porã, MS, Brasil. Cultivated with sugarcane third year. We used the (4x4) factorial design, evaluated 4 applications of stillage (0, 450, 600 and 750 m3 ha-1) and their soil characteristics measured at four depths (0,0-0,5; 0,5-0,10; 0,10-0,20; 0,20-0,40 m) with five repetitions. To determine the rate of dispersion of aggregates (ID) sample were obtained undisturbed soil at 38, 75 and 111 days after application of stillage. With increasing doses of stillage were increased concentrations of potassium and organic matter and reduce the rate of dispersion and increased stability of soil aggregates

Visou-se com este trabalho, avaliar, em condições de campo, o efeito da aplicação de nitrogênio nas caracterÃsticas agronômicas e produtividade do milho irrigado por pivô central. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos aleatorizados, no esquema fatorial 4x2, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituÃdos pela aplicação de quatro doses de nitrogênio (0, 90, 180 e 360 kg ha-1 de N), via foliar ou convencional por cobertura, parceladas aos 25 e aos 49 dias após a semeadura. A aplicação de N (em ambas as formas) afetou o número de grãos por fileira e por espigas, a massa de 1000 grãos e a produtividade de grãos no milho. Os maiores valores de produtividade foram obtidos com as doses estimadas de 300 kg ha-1 de N na aplicação convencional e 362 kg ha-1 na aplicação via foliar. A dose de 90 kg ha-1 de N, foi a que proporcionou a maior rentabilidade financeira para o cultivo
Structural Quality of a Latosol Cultivated with Oilseed in Succession to Corn
Mechanized operations on soils with inadequate moisture cause compaction and are deleterious to soil quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different oilseed crop successions on the structural quality of a clayey Rhodic Hapludox. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), canola (Brassica napus L. and Brassica rapa), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst.), and niger (Guizotia abyssinica) were sown in autumn/winter in a no-tillage system in succession to corn grown in the summer and soybean/corn grown in summer/autumn-winter. When the autumn-winter crops began to grow, soil samples were collected in metallic cylinders at 0.0–0.05 m and 0.05–0.10 m depths. Analyses of the optimal water interval in each crop succession at the 0.0–0.05 m layer indicated that the corn/safflower and corn/crambe successions reduced the structural quality of the soil. The autumn-winter niger crop in succession to summer corn improved the soil structure at 0.0–0.05 m and 0.05–0.10 m when compared with the soil cultivated with the soybean/corn succession. The niger crop is an effective crop rotation alternative that improves the physical quality of the soil under no-tillage systems.Las operaciones mecanizadas en suelos con humedad inadecuada causan compactación y son perjudiciales para la calidad del suelo. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la influencia de diferentes sucesiones de cultivos de semillas oleaginosas sobre la calidad estructural de un hapludo rubio arcilloso. Se sembraron girasol (Helianthus annuus L.), canola (Brassica napus L. y Brassica rapa), cártamo (Carthamus tinctorius L.), crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst.) Y niger (Guizotia abyssinica) en otoño/invierno Sistema de labranza cero en sucesión al maÃz cultivado en verano y soja/maÃz cultivado en verano/otoñoinvierno. Cuando comenzaron a crecer los cultivos de otoño-invierno, se recogieron muestras de suelo en cilindros metálicos de 0.0-0.05 m y 0.05-0.10 m de profundidad. Los análisis del intervalo óptimo de agua en cada sucesión de cultivos en la capa 0.0-0.05 m indicaron que las sucesiones de maÃz/cártamo y maÃz/crambe redujeron la calidad estructural del suelo. La cosecha niger de otoño-invierno en sucesión al maÃz de verano mejoró la estructura del suelo a 0.0-0.05 m y 0.05-0.10 m en comparación con el suelo cultivado con la sucesión soja/maÃz. El cultivo de nÃger es una alternativa eficaz de rotación de cultivos que mejora la calidad fÃsica del suelo bajo sistemas de labranza cero
Least Limiting Water Range and Load Bearing Capacity of Soil under Types of Tractor-Trailers for Mechanical Harvesting of Green Sugarcane
ABSTRACT The expansion of the sugarcane industry in Brazil has intensified the mechanization of agriculture and caused effects on the soil physical quality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the limiting water range and soil bearing capacity of a Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico tÃpico (Rhodic Hapludox) under the influence of different tractor-trailers used in mechanical sugarcane harvesting. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with five replications. The treatments consisted of green sugarcane harvesting with: harvester without trailer (T1); harvester with two trailers with a capacity of 10 Mg each (T2); harvester with trailer with a capacity of 20 Mg (T3) and harvester and truck with trailer with a capacity of 20 Mg (10 Mg per compartment) (T4). The least limiting water range and soil bearing capacity were evaluated. The transport equipment to remove the harvested sugarcane from the field (trailer) at harvest decreased the least limiting water range, reducing the structural soil quality. The truck trailer caused the greatest impact on the soil physical properties studied. The soil load bearing capacity was unaffected by the treatments, since the pressure of the harvester (T1) exceeded the pre-consolidation pressure of the soil
