The matte sector diagnosis in the 26th Secretary of the Regional Development, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a verificação da realidade do setor ervateiro na 26ª Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Regional – SDR do estado de Santa Catarina. Compreendem esta secretaria os seguinte municípios: Bela Vista do Toldo, Canoinhas, Irineopólis, Major Vieira, Porto União e Três Barras. O trabalho aborda questões relativas aos produtos, a produção e as angustias e anseios dos produtores de uma das mais antigas atividades de extração vegetal da Região Sul do Brasil. Foram aplicadas entrevistas por meio de questionários com perguntas semi estruturadas, foi usada a metodologia de bola de neve, ou seja, o entrevistado ao final das respostas do questionário deveria indicar outro possível candidato para ser entrevistado. O período da pesquisa foi de agosto/2008 a maio/2009. Neste contexto é fundamental e imprescindível uma organização do setor produtivo de erva-mate, nos mais diversos aspectos, sejam eles, sociais, tecnológicos, silviculturais ou comerciais.Palavras-chave: Diagnóstico; erva-mate; setor produtivo. AbstractThe matte sector diagnosis in the 26th Secretary of the Regional Development, State of Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Desenvolvimento de Urbanus acawoios (Willians, 1926) (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) em cultivares de Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Leguminoseae)

The objective of this study was to determine the biological parameters of Urbanus acawoios (Willians, 1926) (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) in Phaseolus vulgaris cultivars. The ambient temperature during the experiment was 21,710C + 2,020C. The Urbanus acawoios caterpillars presented five instars in the studied cultivars. The Urbanus acawoios caterpillars fed with Carioca Precoce’s cultivar didn’t complete their life cycle. The Goiano Precoce and Emgopa Ouro 201 cultivars were more favorable to the development of Urbanus acawoios.Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar alguns parâmetros da biologia de Urbanus acawoios (Willians, 1926) (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) em cultivares de Phaseolus vulgaris. A temperatura ambiente durante a condução do experimento foi de 21,710C + 2,020C. As lagartas de Urbanus acawoios apresentaram cinco instares nas cultivares estudadas. As lagartas de Urbanus acawoios alimentadas com a cultivar Carioca Precoce não completaram seu ciclo de vida em temperatura ambiente. As cultivares Goiano Precoce e Emgopa Ouro 201 foram mais favoráveis ao desenvolvimento de Urbanus acawoios
