RESUMO -O objetivo deste experimento, realizado na cultura da banana (Musa spp.) no Vale do Ribeira, no município de Registro-SP, foi fazer um cadastramento fitossociológico das espécies de plantas daninhas sob duas formas de manejo do solo. A amostragem das espécies daninhas foi feita em duas áreas distintas de manejo, sendo uma com a cultura implantada em área de várzea drenada a 7 m de altitude e a outra com a bananicultura em área de sequeiro a 16 m de altitude. Na amostragem de um hectare, utilizou-se o método do quadrado inventário para cálculo de frequência, frequência relativa, densidade, densidade relativa, abundância, abundância relativa, índice de valor de importância e índice de importância relativa. Em ambas as áreas foram identificadas 10 famílias, distribuídas em 18 gêneros e 21 espécies. Na área de várzea drenada, 38% das famílias identificadas são monocotiledôneas e 62% dicotiledôneas, num total de 15 espécies, distribuídas em nove famílias. Na área de cultivo em sistema de sequeiro, foram identificados 50% de famílias monocotiledôneas e 50% de dicotiledôneas, num total de 11 espécies, distribuídas em seis famílias. As famílias com maior representatividade foram Poaceae, com sete espécies, seguida de Asteraceae, com três. Com o estudo realizado, verificou-se ainda grande diversidade de espécies nas áreas selecionadas.Palavras-chave: bananicultura, fitossociologia, plantas daninhas, manejo do solo.ABSTRACT -The objective of this work was to carry out a phytosociological assessment of the weed species occurring in the banana (Musa spp.) culture, under two forms of soil management. The weed community sampling was carried out under field conditions in the Ribeira Valley, Registro, Sao Paulo. The weed species sampling was carried out in two areas, the first with the banana culture implanted in a wet area at seven meters of altitude and the second in a dry area at 16 meters of altitude. In both areas, the sample was carried out in one hectare, using the square inventory to calculate frequency, relative frequency, density, relative density, abundance, relative abundance, importance index and relative importance. In both areas, 10 families were identified, distributed in 18 genus and 21 species; 38% of the families identified in the wet area were monocots and 62% dicots, totalizing 15 species distributed in six families. The most representative families were Poaceae, with seven species, followed by Asteraceae, with three species. This study made evident the large diversity of species in the selected area.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the fungitoxic potential of melaleuca essential oil on the mycelial growth of Alternaria alternata under in vitro condition and the treatment of cowpea beans. Study Design: The experiments comprised completely randomized designs: Eleven treatments with five replicates on in vitro test; and six treatments with five replicates on in vivo test. Place and Duration of Study: The work was carried out at the Center for Agrifood Science and Technology of the Federal University of Campina Grande, Pombal, Brazil, since February 2018 to February 2019. Methodology: In the in vitro experiment, the essential oil was incorporated into the culture medium and poured into Petri dishes. The treatments consisted of different concentrations of the essential oil (0.0125, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0%), a negative control (0.0%), and a positive control (Thiram). Discs of culture medium with fungal mycelia were inoculated in the center of the plates and incubated for seven days at 27±2ºC. The percentage of mycelial growth inhibition (PGI) and the index of mycelial growth speed (IMGS) was calculated to verify the difference between treatments. In the in vivo experiment, the bean seeds were treated with different concentrations of EO (0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0%), a negative control (0.0%), and positive control (Thiram). Seeds were inoculated with colonies of the fungus for 48 hours, and after that, we performed the seed sanity test. Results: Under in vitro conditions, all concentrations of melaleuca essential oil reduced the mycelial growth of A. alternata. The oil reached complete inhibition of fungal growth from 0.2% concentration and above. In the cowpea treatment, the essential oil had no significant control over the percentage of infected seeds. Conclusion: The melaleuca essential oil had a fungitoxic effect on the A. alternata under in vitro conditions. However, using the adopted methodology, on the cowpea bean seed treatment, the essential oil did not reduce the incidence of A. alternata.
Introduction: The work raises the dignity of man, but it is also a tool to develop diseases, which can also be identified among the agents of urban cleaning. Goals: To assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in urban cleaning workers; checking the musculoskeletal symptoms related to work; ascertaining body regions that show most often pain, discomfort or numbness caused by the occupation; correlating musculoskeletal symptoms with age, income and working time in months. Method: This is a descriptive, transversal study with quantitative approach. The research was conducted with employees of public cleaning in Patos county, Paraíba. Forty-five cleaning agents responded to the validated instrument called Nordic Musculoskeletal Symptoms Questionnaire. Data were tabulated through Microsoft Excel ® software, version 2007 and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences program (SPSS-version 21.0). Means were collected, minimum and maximum, median and standard deviation. In parallel was adopted inferential statistics. Results: It was found that most (60%) presents at least one complaint against pain requiring within the working hours. The regions sectIon: rheuMatology
