These resources can be applied: indirectly, by extracting and concentrating one or more minerals by industrial processes for the production of conventional, highly soluble fertilizers; and directly, without processing, except fine grinding, for direct soil application. Agromineral resources include sedimentary phosphates, limestones/dolostones, potash and glauconite-bearing rocks of sedimentary origin, basaltic rocks, phonolites, kamafugites, and glass-rich mafic rocks of igneous origin. Among metamorphic agromineral resources, marble and biotite schist stand out. However, agromineral resources are not equally distributed on Earth’s surface, occurring more in one area than in another, and have accumulated in various geotectonic settings related to plate tectonics, being formed in specific geological time periods in Earth’s history. Therefore, these resources occur in specific “agromineral provinces” and were formed during specific “agromineral epochs”. This paper provides a conceptual framework for agromineral resource distribution in time and space. Agrominerals have a high potential to be used as directly applied soil amendments and soil remineralizers for new and innovative farming strategies, provided the amendments are low or free of contaminants.","PeriodicalId":19826,"journal":{"name":"Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67603485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first experiment, the plants were subjected to inoculation with Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis (bacteriosis). In the second, the plants were subjected to inoculation with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides f. sp. manihotis (anthracnose). In the third, carried out in an augmented block design and under naturally occurring diseases, visual evaluations of the plants were performed using a rating scale. Heritability was used as a genetic parameter, and the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean was applied to determine genetic divergence and clustering. In the third experiment, genetic variability was detected among accessions, which were evaluated for the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) for anthracnose and bacteriosis. In the first and third experiments of bacteriosis, the chances of success in the selection of resistant accessions are higher due to the high heritability values obtained. The BGM-1170 and BGM-1134 accessions show the lowest mean for AUDPC and are considered resistant to anthracnose and bacteriosis.","PeriodicalId":19826,"journal":{"name":"Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67607561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
