Utilização de óleo essencial de noni no controle fitossanitário de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides em plantas de Mangifera indica

The use of essential oils in agriculture as botanical insecticides has been used as an option in the control of diseases and pests, with the least possible impact on the ecosystem. Anthracnose is the main disease in mango culture, and can cause damage to fruit productivity and quality. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of noni essential oil (Morinda citrifolia L.) in the control of phytopathogens in plants of Mangifera indica. From the isolation of lesions of mango plants, the phytopathogenic fungus was obtained. The essential oil was removed from ripe noni fruits. In vitro bioassays were performed by testing different concentrations of essential oil. For the phytotoxicity test, five different concentrations of essential oil were used. The preventive control test was installed by applying by means of a manual spray. The curative test was also performed. The essential oil of noni showed an inhibitative effect on the growth of the fungus C. gloeosporioides in vitro. Phytotoxicity symptoms were observed in mango leaves at noni oil doses greater than 1.5%. The preventive application was more efficient than the curative for the control of anthracnose in mango plants.O uso de óleos essenciais na agricultura como inseticidas botânicos, tem sido usado como uma opção no controle de doenças e pragas, com menor impacto possível sobre o ecossistema.

The development of bus rapid transit in Latin America: a review

Urban mobility is a challenge worldwide due to the increasing of people living in cities. 15 In developing countries, this challenge raises due to the absence of enough capital to invest in rail- 16 road systems such as metros, trains, and light rail services. In this sense, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) 17 was developed in Latin America as an alternative to low-cost great capacity transportation to those 18 systems. The objective of this paper is to explore system development in the region and to identify 19 if the main current BRTs really bring advantages to the cities in terms of urban mobility. To perform 20 the article we conducted a literature review and compared five main BRT systems in the region 21 considering the passenger volume, and extension in km using data from Global BRT data. The re- 22 sults suggest that BRT systems have been producing efficient urban mobility in cities such as Rio de 23 Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Bogota, and Mexico City.CAPES, number: 001.

Mixed modeling for fiber yield genetic selection in sugarcane

The current demand for clean and renewable energy has provoked considerable changes in the production system of agroindustrial companies. The generation of bioelectricity through the burning of sugarcane bagasse has considerably risen in the recent years. This work aimed to focus on the sugarcane genotypes selection for fiber productivity. The experiment was outlined in randomized blocks with four repetitions, and sixteen genotypes were evaluated. The evaluated traits  were: cane tons per hectare, sucrose tons per hectare, fiber tons per hectare, fiber content and apparent sucrose content. To the selection, the mixed linear models methodology was used. The heritability coefficients suggest a significant genetic gain and the harmonic means of relative performances of predicted genotypic values allowed the identification of stable genotypes related to the traits evaluated in four harvest cycles. Considering the current average demand of sugarcane agroindustry for varieties with fiber content between 12% and 17% and sucrose content near 13%, for energy generation and sugar production, the genotypes EECAC 06, EECAC 03, EECAC 04 and EECAC 07 are presented as commercial cultivation options. Highlights - Mixed models constitute an efficient tool for sugarcane selection focused onto fiber and sucrose production. - This methodology provides significant genetic gains based on predicted genetic values free from interaction with harvest cycles. - The evaluated genotypes present high fiber and sucrose productivity, genotypic adaptability and stability throughout harvest cycles, indicating longevity in the sugarcane crop.The current demand for clean and renewable energy has provoked considerable changes in the production system of agroindustrial companies.

Biometric genetics in Cowpea beans (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) II: estimates of genetic gains through selection indices

Low cowpea productivity (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) in the semi-arid region of Paraíba is due, among other factors, to poor-quality cultivars. This research tested biometric models intending to increase productivity of superior cultivars with the following objectives: i. Estimate genetic gains in production components; ii. Identify the selection index model providing the greatest gains through simultaneously selecting a set of variables, and iii. Select cultivars with higher productivity. The experiment was carried out in the experimental field of the Agrifood Science and Technology Center of the Federal University of Campina Grande. Eight cultivars and 13 variables were evaluated. Data were subjected to ANOVA and means were grouped using the Scott and Knott test. Genetic gains were estimated by correlated response, classic selection index, rank sum and index based on desired gains. Direct selection of the secondary pod yield component provides significant genetic gains in main grain yield. Among the methodologies used, the classic selection index provided greater distribution of genetic gains for main grain yield and primary production components. These results allow concluding that Costela de vaca, BRS Marataoã and Paulistinha cultivars should be selected for cultivation and commercial exploitation in the semiarid region of Paraíba. Highlights: Direct selection of the secondary pod yield component provides significant genetic gains in main grain yield. The classic selection index provided greater distribution of genetic gains for main grain yield and primary production components.
