Looking to reduce the cost and maximize tomato productivity, this study aimed to evaluate fertilizer doses and conduction systems. For this, a field experiment was carried out in randomized blocks, in a simple factorial scheme, which consists in four fertilizer doses, (50, 100, 150 and 200% dose), and four conduction systems (with one or two plants per pit, and one or two stems per plant). Plants were spaced 0.44m and 1.5m between lines. Each plot consisted of 10 plants. The evaluated characteristics were fruit mass, number of fruits, total production per plant and pit, longitudinal and transversal dimension of the fruit. Under the experiment conditions, interactions were observed between fertilization and conduction only for the transversal and longitudinal diameter. The C4 conduction system showed superior results for the estimated yield when compared to the treatments containing only one plant per pit (C1 and C2). For the fertilizer doses, the observed yield was 142.68 t ha -1, in the 150% dose, and 114.84 t ha -1 for the 50% dose. The highest production per pit was obtained in the 150% fertilizer dose and the C4 conduction, but this treatment showed a lower average fruit mass. The treatment with two plants per pit and two stems provided lower fruit average mass than the treatments containing a single plant. The fertilization influenced only in the longitudinal diameter, and the largest diameter was observed in the recommended fertilization dose. Aiming at cost/efficiency relation, the 100% dose and the C3 were considered the best treatments.
The cultivation of passion fruit is important for Brazil, since the country is currently the largest producer and consumer of fruit in the world. However, the fields of passion fruit still face important problems due to the incidence and severity of diseases in the field. Thus, the present study aimed to assess resistance to bacterial and fungal diseases in 13 genotypes of sour, sweet and wild passion fruit, in field conditions in the Distrito Federal, Brazil. For this, a field experiment was installed in a randomized block design, with four replications and 13 treatments (genotypes). The characteristics of incidence, severity and degree of resistance for bacteriosis, septoriosis, scab and anthracnose diseases were evaluated in 5 fruits per plot of each genotype. Genetic parameters of the evaluated traits were also estimated. High heritability values and CVg/Cve ratio were observed for most of the evaluated characteristics. The genotypes presented mean values of incidence and severity of bacteriosis, septoriosis, scab and anthracnose different among them, and the one that presented the best results in the degree of resistance for all diseases was F1 (MAR20 # 24 x ECL7 P1 R4).
En la agroindustria, la quinua es considerada un alimento funcional para por sus beneficios para la salud. Sin embargo, es necesario identificar genotipos que proporcionen mejores características fisicoquímicas y alta capacidad antioxidante para la selección en los programas de mejoramiento genético. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la composición fisicoquímica y la capacidad antioxidante de genotipos de quinua originarios de Brasil, Colombia y Ecuador cultivados en condiciones de la Sabana Brasileña (Cerrado). La siembra se llevó a cabo en la Hacienda Agua Limpa de la Facultad de Agronomía y Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad de Brasilia, ubicada a 15º56' S y 47º55' O, a una altitud de 1.100 m. El análisis fisicoquímico se realizó en año 2021 en el Centro de Investigación de Alimentos de la Universidad de Passo Fondo, Río Grande do Sul, y el análisis de capacidad antioxidante se realizó en la Universidad de Santiago de Chile. Se determinó el contenido de humedad, cenizas, proteínas, carbohidratos (CHO), fibra bruta, lípidos y capacidad antioxidante. Los datos originales fueron sometidos a análisis de varianza, mediante la prueba F (P≤0,05), y la comparación de medias por la prueba de Tukey. Se realizarón análisis de correlación lineal (Fischer) (P≤0,01) y (P≤0,05), y análisis de agrupación jerárquico por el método Ward. Los genotipos presentaron variabilidad en las características fisicoquímicas y actividad antioxidante. Los CHO fueron los compuestos mayoritarios presentes en las semillas, mostrando un promedio de 50,16%, el promedio de proteína fue del 15,27%, con mayores resultados para el genotipo P88 (16,28%). El contenido promedio de lípidos, fibra y cenizas fueron 3,24; 14,13 y 6,0%, respectivamente. Los CHO mostraron una correlación positiva con el parámetro lipídico (r=0,858) y una correlación negativa significativa con la proteína (r=-0,785). El cultivar Aurora expresó una mayor actividad antioxidante (1,96±0,01 mg Trolox/g).
Commercial propagation of pequizeiro, which stands out among the main native fruits of the Cerrado region for its high economic potential, has been done by seeds, despite their erratic germination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of seed size and presence of thorns on the endocarp on seedling emergence of pequizeiro in the field. Seeds were collected in a pequizeiro commercial area in Canarana-MT, Brazil. Due to availability, 2,353 thorny seeds (3 sizes) and 106 seeds without thorns (medium sized) were tested. Thorny seeds were classified as large – longer than 50 mm; medium – between 40 and 50 mm; small – less than 40 mm. Seedling emergence started after 50 days in all seed categories, extending up to 100 days in the large seeds and to about 1 year after sowing in the small and medium sized ones. Small seeds showed a lower rate and speed of emergence compared to the others. Large seeds showed higher emergence speed compared to the medium ones. The presence of thorns did not affect seedling emergence. These results indicate the advantages of pequizeiro seed classification for sowing purposes.
