Efeito da associação silício líquido solúvel com fungicida no controle fitossanitário do cafeeiro

Soluble silicon and fungicide mixed were evaluated to control coffee (Coffea arabica L.) pests and diseases. This experiment was carried out in Três Pontas-MG, Brazil, Mundo Novo cultivar crop. The experimental design was randomized blocks with treatments like: soluble silicon 4L/ha; soluble silicon 3L/ha + fungicide 0,375L/ha; soluble silicon 2L/ha + fungicide 0,75L/ha; soluble silicon 1L/ha + fungicide 1,125L/ha; fungicide 1,5L/ha and control without pulverization. Half silicon soluble recommended dose associated with half fungicide recommended dose was efficient to control coffee leaf rust and coffee brown eye spot like fungicide recommended full dose.Realizou-se este trabalho com o objetivo de verificar os efeitos da associação do silício foliar com fungicida no controle fitossanitário do cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.). O experimento foi instalado em Três Pontas-MG, numa lavoura cultivar Mundo Novo. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, sendo os tratamentos: silício solúvel 4 L/ha; silício solúvel 3 L/ha + fungicida 0,375 L/ha; silício solúvel 2 L/ha + fungicida 0,75 L/ha; silício solúvel 1 L/ha + fungicida 1,125 L/ha; fungicida 1,5 L/ha, e testemunha sem pulverização. Concluiu-se que metade da dose recomendada de silício solúvel associada à metade da dose recomendada do fungicida controlou a ferrugem e a cercóspora, semelhantemente à dose recomendada do fungicida

Sulfur modulates yield and storage proteins in soybean grains

This study evaluated the nutritional quality, yield, and storage protein modulation in soybean grains in response to levels and sources of sulfur (S) in a dystrophic Ultisol. We used five levels of S (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg kg–1) and four sources of S (elemental S pastille - ESPA, gypsum - GY, gypsite - GI and elemental S powder - ESPO). Plants treated with 50 mg kg–1 of GY, GI, and ESPO and 200 mg kg–1 of ESPA had the largest grain yield values. Low S supply resulted in lower yields for all S sources tested. Sulfur deficiencies were observed at all levels for ESPA, resulting in lower concentrations of globulin and higher concentration of glutelin and albumin in the grains, possibly because the S content in the leaf was below the range adequate for soybean, leading to in lower yield values. In general, the application of S sources (GY, GI, and ESPO) increased all protein fractions. The results show that proper application of S is essential to optimize soybean yield and increase storage proteins in the grains. The granulometry of ESPA and ESPO fertilizers was a key factor for the availability of S to soybean plants. This study presents relevant information on S fertilization of soybeans, which could provide better grain nutritional quality and increased storage proteins with benefits to animal health

Knowledge and attitudes of entry-level and final-level physical therapy students about evidence-based practice - A cross-sectional study

Evidence-based practice (EBP) has gained widespread acceptance in the health profession. Little is known about the attitudes, knowledge, and behavior about EBP of physical therapy students at different levels in Brazil. OBJECTIVES: To compare the EBP-related knowledge, practice, attitudes between the entry-level and final-level physical therapy students. METHODS: A cross-sectional study including 60 physical therapy students was conducted. The participants completed a questionnaire to determine their attitudes, knowledge, practice skills and barriers regarding EBP. The survey consisted of 38 items about EBP (relevance, terminology and practice skills) and 7 items related as barriers to adopt the EBP during physical therapy graduation. Total scores were calculated. For each of the three sections scores of a 5-point Likert scale were considered. RESULTS: The sample was composed of 40 students in the entry-level and 20 in the final-level. The mean age of the sample was 23.3 (SD=7.6). The mean score of the sample in the EBP survey was 83.5 (SD=20.8). We did not find difference between final-level group (mean=101.6; SD=17.8) and entry-level students (mean=74.5; SD= 15.8) (p=.45). Students of the final-level group presented higher scores in all EBP sections (relevance, terminology, practice skills). A higher mean difference was observed in terminology (-17.8) section. The most common barriers reported by the students of both groups were “lack of knowledge of statistics” (19.3%), “lack of time” (17.7%) and “language” (16%). CONCLUSION: The difference in all sections about evidence based knowledge and attitudes where not expressive between the final-level and the entry-level students. Regarding practice skills, students were not confident about their abilities in the EBP steps

Tratamento de sementes com ácido salicílico na tolerância do trigo ao flumioxazin

The seed treatment with safeners may increase the tolerance of crops to herbicides. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed treatment with salicylic acid on the tolerance of wheat to flumioxazin. The design was completely randomized, with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a 2 x 6 factorial, where the first factor corresponded to the absence or presence of seed treatment with salicylic acid and the second factor to the doses of flumioxazin (0; 10; 20; 30; 40 and 50 g ha-1 a.i.) in pre-emergence application. The seed treatment with salicylic acid reduced the toxicity of wheat plants to 7, 14 and 35 days after emergence. The number of fertile tillers was not affected by the treatments. Increasing the dose of flumioxazin negatively affected the growth variables evaluated (dry matter of the aerial part, height of fertile tillers and dry matter of spikelets), and the salicylic acid positively influenced the dry matter of the spikelets. The flumioxazin causes intoxication and reduces the growth of wheat. Salicylic acid is an alternative to alleviate the stress caused by the herbicide, increasing the tolerance of the crop.  O tratamento de sementes com protetores químicos é uma técnica que pode aumentar a tolerância de culturas a herbicidas, sendo já utilizada em culturas como o algodão e o arroz. Este estudo foi proposto para avaliar o efeito do tratamento de sementes com ácido salicílico sobre a tolerância do trigo ao flumioxazin. O delineamento adotado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. Foi utilizado o arranjo fatorial 2 x 6, onde o primeiro fator correspondeu a ausência ou presença do tratamento de sementes com ácido salicílico e o segundo fator às doses de flumioxazin (0; 10; 20; 30; 40 e 50 g ha-1 i.a.) aplicadas em pré- emergência da cultura. Avaliações de fitointoxicação foram realizadas aos 7, 14, 21, 28 e 35 dias após a emergência. Aos 50 dias após a semeadura foi determinados o número de perfilhos por planta, altura de perfilhos férteis, matéria seca da parte aérea e da espigueta. O tratamento de sementes com ácido salicílico reduziu a intoxicação das plantas de trigo aos 7, 14 e 35 dias após a emergência. O número de perfilhos férteis não foi alterado pelos tratamentos. O aumento da dose de flumioxazin afetou negativamente as demais variáveis de crescimento avaliadas (matéria seca da parte aérea, altura de perfilhos férteis e matéria seca de espigueta), sendo que o ácido salicílico influenciou positivamente a matéria seca da espigueta. Conclui-se que o flumioxazin causa intoxicação e redução do crescimento do trigo e que o ácido salicílico é alternativa para atenuar o estresse causado pelo herbicida, aumentando a tolerância da cultura
