Because it is sexually propagated, the use of quality seeds becomes an important factor for obtaining an adequate plant stand and, consequently, good productivity. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the production and physiological maturation of seeds of sweet sorghum cv. BRS 511, in response to the interval between irrigations during the reproductive period and harvesting period. Two experiments were carried out in a greenhouse, the experimental design adopted was in randomized blocks, with four replications in a 3 x 2 split-plot scheme, corresponding to three intervals between irrigations during the reproductive stage (0; 4 and 8 days) and two harvest times (102 and 110 days after sowing). The following parameters were evaluated from the harvested panicles: number of seeds, weight of one thousand seeds, water content, germination, first germination count, emergence in sand and emergence speed, electrical conductivity and seedling vigor. The production of seeds per panicle and the weight of a thousand seeds were signi fi cantly in fl uenced by the increase in the interval between irrigations in the 2 nd experiment, with a reduction of 50.4 and 46.3%, respectively. Water replacement every eight days caused a reduction of up to 43.4% in the first germination count and 16.3% in germination. The production and quality of sweet sorghum seeds reduces as a function of the increase in the interval between irrigations and the harvesting time, presenting germination rates below the required for commercialization.","PeriodicalId":21359,"journal":{"name":"Revista Ciencia Agronomica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71158539","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}

However, these reservoirs are subject to variables that impact the volume and quality of the stored water, with the contribution of such nutrients as Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) being one of the main factors in intensifying the eutrophication process. The aim of this study was to quantify the principal inputs and outputs of nutrients (N and P) and calculate the nutrient balance, in order to verify the in fl uence of seasonality on the import and export of these nutrients in surface reservoirs of the semi-arid region of Brazil. Seven campaigns were carried out between 2015 and 2016, with water samples collected at fi ve points in the Pereira de Miranda reservoir and four in the General Sampaio reservoir. The in fl ow of nutrients was greater when the in fl ow rate of the water was higher. The balance showed the accumulation of 22.8 tons of TN and 2.8 tons of TP in the Pereira de Miranda reservoir, and 13 tons of TN and 1.5 tons of TP in the General Sampaio. These reservoirs are therefore retaining nutrients, acting as a storage site for nutrients transported by surface runo ff in the basin of the Curu River. This increase in storage occurred mainly during the rainy season, when nutrient retention by the reservoirs impaired water quality, resulting in eutrophication, and making it di ffi cult to meet the uses for which the reservoirs were intended.","PeriodicalId":21359,"journal":{"name":"Revista Ciencia Agronomica","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71158688","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}

Principal component analysis showed the soil in the forested area (reference) has greater values for P, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , K + , Na + , sum of bases, and cation exchange capacity; while hierarchical cluster analysis suggested little dissimilarity to the soil in the agroforestry system, and high dissimilarity to the soil in the areas of cassava cultivation and pasture.

It is important to monitor it to contain its physical, environmental, and socio-economic impacts. In the Espírito Santo state, Brazil, much of the land is used for agriculture and studies related to water erosion are scarce. The spatial modeling of water erosion is useful for proposing mitigating measures because combining it with data from geographic information systems can identify the areas most prone to soil loss. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation - RUSLE, is a model that requires little input data and is easy to use, providing results useful of helping to mitigate water erosion and promote sustainable land use planning. This study estimates the water erosion rates in the Espírito Santo state by RUSLE and compares them with the soil loss tolerance (T) limits. The parameters used in the model are the land use and management, the soil attributes, the relief and the climate factors. Approximately 38.65% of the state’s area shows soil loss above the T limit (7.79 - 14.14 Mg ha -1 year -1 ). The areas with steeper slopes and low vegetation cover have most of the highest erosion rates. The mean annual soil loss of the entire state is 33.55 Mg ha -1 year -1 . RUSLE provided a diagnosis useful of directing erosion mitigation measures to the most susceptible areas, enabling sustainable planning to support the state’s socio-economic development.","PeriodicalId":21359,"journal":{"name":"Revista Ciencia Agronomica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71158585","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}

The experimental design was completely randomised, with seven treatments, four repetitions, and plots comprising two plants. The treatments consisted of replacing the water demand during phenological phases I, II, III and IV (in terms of percentage ETc): T1 – 100%/I, 100%/II, 100%/III and 100%/IV; T2 – 100%/I, 75%/ II, 100%/III and 75%/IV; T3 – 100%/I, 75%/II, 75%/III and 75%/IV; T4 – 100%/I, 75%/II, 75%/III and 50%/IV; T5 – 100%/I, 50%/ II, 75%/III and 50%/IV; T6 – 100%/I, 50%/II, 50%/III and 50%/IV; T7 – 100%/I, 50%/II, 50%/III and 25%/IV. The plants were grown in the fi eld under drip irrigation. The following variables were analysed: plant height; stem diameter, leaf area, shoot dry weight, number of fruits per plant, soluble solids, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit weight, productivity, relative chlorophyll index, gas exchange, and water use e ffi ciency. Compared to T1, management based on T2, T3 and T4 did not reduce expression of the vast majority of the vegetative variables or of gas exchange. The water de fi cit from T2 can be employed without any signi fi cant reduction in productivity and a ff ords water savings of 12.5% in relation to T1.

The pattern of spatial dispersal in C. capitata was determined using the Perry and Mead Index of Dispersion, the Morisita Index, and the Local Moran index (LISA). The spatial variability of the abundance of C. capitata was obtained by geostatistical analysis, with the indicator kriging method used to prepare the location and spatial distribution maps. The Perry and Mead Index of Dispersion and the Morisita Index showed an aggregated pattern of spatial dispersal, whereas the Moran Local index showed a random pattern from 7 DFSH (days from the start of the harvest) to 35 DFSH, and an aggregated pattern at 42 DFSH. The SDI was strong at 7 and 35 DFSH and moderate at 14, 28 and 42 DFSH.

In the root protrusion test at 20, 25 and 30 ºC, two evaluation criteria were adopted: primary root emission precocity index (PREPI) and percentage of seeds that emitted the primary root (PRE). The seeds counted were those with a primary root equal to or greater than 2 mm, every 12 h from the installation of the test until 120 h. The design was completely randomized and means were compared, within each evaluation time, using the Scott-Knott test at 5% probability. Pearson’s linear correlation was performed for PREPI and PRE with emergence. PREPI was not considered efficient. For the PRE, at 20 ºC, there was a correlation at 72 h, for the three varieties.
