RESUMO -Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a seletividade de herbicidas inibidores da ALS recomendados para arroz irrigado, quando aplicados em diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento do arroz de terras altas. O experimento foi conduzido em campo, no município de Nova Xavantina-MT, no período de novembro de 2009 a abril de 2010. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 5 x 3, composto pelos tratamentos herbicidas penoxsulam (36 g ha -1 ), bispyribac-Na (50 g ha), pirazosulfuron-ethyl (20 g ha -1 ) e 2,4-D (670 g ha -1 ) e pela testemunha capinada. Os herbicidas foram aplicados em três épocas: 15, 30 e 45 dias após a emergência (DAE), perfazendo 15 tratamentos, com quatro repetições. Aos 7, 14 e 28 dias após a aplicação (DAA) dos herbicidas foram realizadas as seguintes avaliações: fitotoxicidade à cultura, altura de plantas, fitomassa, quantidade de panículas por metro quadrado, grãos por panícula e produtividade. Os maiores índices de fitotoxicidade foram observados nas plantas tratadas com bispyribac-Na, aplicado aos 15 e 30 DAE. As plantas de arroz conseguiram se recuperar quanto à altura de plantas provocada pelos herbicidas a partir de 28 DAA. No que se refere aos herbicidas inibidores da ALS, o penoxsulam, aplicado aos 30 DAE, apresentou potencialidade para ser utilizado no arroz de terras altas, por não reduzir a produtividade de grãos.Palavras-chave: penoxsulam, bispyribac-Na, pirazosulfuron-ethyl, fitotoxicidade, produtividade.ABSTRACT -This study aimed to evaluate the selectivity of the ALS-inhibitors recommended for flooded rice when applied at different development stages of upland rice. The experiment was conducted in the field, in Nova Xavantina-MT, from November 2009 to April 2010, arranged in a randomized block design in a factorial scheme 5 x 3,consisting of the herbicide treatments (penoxsulam (36 g ha -1 ); bispyribac-Na (50 g ha -1 ); pirazosulfuron-ethyl (20 g ha 1 ), 2,4-D (670 g ha -1 ) and weed control. The herbicides were applied at 15, 30, and 45 days after emergence (DAE), totaling 15 treatments with four replications. At 7, 14, and 28 days after herbicide application (DAA), the following assessments were carried out: crop phytotoxicity, plant height, biomass, number of panicle m -2 , grains per panicle -1 and productivity. The highest phytotoxicity rates were observed in plants treated with bispyribac-Na, applied at 15 and 30 DAE. The rice plants recovered from plant height reduction caused by the herbicides after 28 DAA. As to the ALS-inhibitors, penoxsulam showed potential for use in upland rice, since it does not reduce rice productivity.

Accurate information about the spatiotemporal variability of actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa), crop coefficient (K c) and water productivity (WP) is crucial for water efficient management in the agriculture. The Earth Engine Evapotranspiration Flux (EEFlux) application has become a popular approach for providing spatiotemporal information on ETa and Kc worldwide. The aim of this study was to quantify the variability of water consumption (ETa) and the K c for an irrigated commercial planting of soybeans based on the EEFlux application in the western region of the state of Bahia, Brazil. The water productivity (WP) for the fields was also obtained. Six cloud-free images from Landsat 7 and 8 satellites, acquired during the 2016/17 soybean growing season were used and processed on the EEFlux platform. The ETa from EEFlux was compared to that of the modified FAO (MFAO) approach using the following statistical metrics: Willmot's index of agreement (d-index), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean bias error (MBE). The K c from EEFlux was compared to the K c used in the soybean field (K c FAO-based) and to the K c values obtained in different scientific studies using the d-index. A similar procedure was performed for WP. Our results reveal that EEFlux is able to provide accurate information about the variability of ETa and the K c of soybean fields. The comparison between ETa EEFlux and ETa MFAO showed good agreement based on the d-index, with values of 0.85, 0.83 and 0.89 for central pivots 1, 2 and 3, respectively. However, EEFlux tends to slightly underestimate ETa. The K c EEFlux showed good accordance with the K c values considered in this study, except in phase II, where a larger difference was observed; the average WP of the three fields (1.14 kg m-3) was higher than that in the majority of the previous studies, which is a strong indicator of the efficient use of water in the studied soybean fields. The study showed that EEFlux, an innovative and free tool for access spatiotemporal variability of ETa and Kc at global scale is very efficient to estimate the ETa and Kc on different growth stages of soybean crop.

The water deficit is considered one of the main limiting factors of agricultural production, studies that aim to understand it become essential for improving productivity and rational use of water resources. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of the reduction of the fraction of transpirable soil water (FTSW) under the growth variables of the nine clones that compose the variety "Diamante Incaper ES8112" of the coffee Conilon and to estimate the critical FTSW (when the growth potential is reduced by the limitation of the transpiration process). The nine experiments were conducted in a greenhouse, located in the Center of Agrarian Sciences and Engineering of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, in the city of Alegre-ES, (20º45' S, 41º32' W and altitude of 269.0 m). The present study was carried out in the greenhouse, located in the Center Original Research Article

A irrigação é usada para conter os efeitos da sazonalidade de produção garantindo maior intensificação dos sistemas de produção a pasto, assim, contribuindo para o aumento da produção e do valor bromatológico das gramíneas. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com esse trabalho avaliar o valor bromatológico de gramíneas tropicais cultivadas em condições de ambiente protegido, submetidas a diferentes tensões de água no solo. Foram realizados três experimentos com as gramíneas Mombaça, Marandu e Tifton 85, onde cada qual, foi conduzida em um esquema de parcelas subdivididas, tendo nas parcelas os níveis do fator tensão de água no solo (20, 40, 50, 60 e 70 kPa) e nas subparcelas níveis 1º, 2º e 3º do fator corte, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com cinco repetições. Nas tensões de água no solo de 20 (Mombaça) e 50 kPa (Marandu e Tifton 85) as gramíneas expressaram seu máximo de valor nutritivo. Os maiores teores de PB foram obtidos nas gramíneas Mombaça e Tifton 85. Para as variáveis FDN e FDA o fator tensão de água no solo não foi significativo.Palavras-chave: proteína bruta, fibra, irrigação, forrageiras. BROMATOLOGY OF TROPICAL GRASSES UNDER DIFFERENT SOIL WATER TENSIONS IN PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT ABSTRACT:The irrigation is used to contain the effects of seasonality of production, ensuring a greater intensification of pasture production systems, thus contributing to the increase of production and the bromatological value of grasses. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritive value of tropical grasses grown under protected environment conditions, subject to different soil water stresses. Three experiments, using Mombasa, Marandu and Tifton 85 grasses under a protected environment were carried out and each one was conducted in a subdivided plots scheme, with the levels of soil water tension factor (20, 40, 50, 60 and 70 kPa) and in the subplots levels 1, 2 and 3 of the cut factor, in a completely randomized design with five replicationss. At soil water stresses of 20 (Mombasa) and 50 kPa (Marandu and Tifton 85) the grasses expressed their maximum nutritive value. The highest CP levels were obtained in the Mombasa and Tifton 85 grasses. For the NDF and ADF variables, the soil water stress factor was not significant.Keywords: crude protein, fiber, irrigation, forages.

The production of specialty coffee has several factors and parameters that are added up in the course of production, so that the quality is expressed in the act of consumption. Based on this scenario, this study included the analysis of ten genotypes of arabica coffee, the materials being subjected to irrigated and rainfed water regimes, in a low altitude region, to identify responses for sensory and physical–chemical quality. The genotypes were evaluated in a split-plot scheme with a randomized block design, with three replications. Arabica coffee fruits were harvested with 80% cherry seeds and processed by the wet method. Subsequently, the characteristics related to physical–chemical and sensory analyses were evaluated. The genotypes of the Paraíso group showed great variability for the physical–chemical and sensory variables for rainfed and irrigated regimes. The genotypes of the Catuaí group, however, showed less variability for sensory characteristics in both cultivation environments and for physical–chemical characteristics in the irrigated regime. In the sensorial data set, the genotypes Catuaí 144 CCF and Catuaí 144 SFC (when irrigated) and Paraíso H 419-3-3-7-16-2, Paraíso H 419-3-3-7-16-11 and Catucaí 24-137 (rainfed cultivation), are more favourable to the production of specialty coffee at low altitude.
