The study took place at the Centro Estadual de Diagnóstico e Pesquisa Florestal, Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. We collected plant samples from the periphery and cultivated kale plants at three distances from the edge: within two meters, 10 to 12 meters, and 20 to 22 meters. We recorded the number and biomass of marketable leaves from three harvests. A total of 618 arthropods were collected from plants along the periphery: Insecta (589), Arachnida (20), and Entognatha (9). Hemiptera was the most prevalent order (49.84%). Kale plants near the periphery experienced less predation from leaf beetles. Plants along the periphery hosted important predator groups as well as phytophages that can serve as alternative prey. Diversifying the periphery with fennel, fava bean, and marigolds shows promise as a strategy to enhance the arthropod community in kale cultivation, thereby acting as a conservative biological control.","PeriodicalId":33658,"journal":{"name":"Pesquisa Agropecuaria Gaucha","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46078668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Located in the south of the state, these areas have different edaphoclimatic conditions from those existing in the Serra Gaúcha, traditional production region. Thus, the estimation of reference values for leaf nutrient contents specific for the conditions of the Campanha is essential for the correct management of vineyards. Methods such as Mathematical Chance (MCh) enable the determination of sufficiency levels of leaf nutrients by evaluating commercial production areas. This work aimed to estimate reference values for nutrients in leaf tissue of grapevines in the region of Campanha by using the MCh method. Nutritional sufficiency ranges differed from those estimated by the official research for the state. However, they revealed high similarity with the results obtained by other studies carried out in the Campanha Region by using DRIS and CND approaches. Our results demonstrated that the MCh was able to estimate the infra- and supra-optimal limits, as well as the optimal levels for nutrients, indicating that there is potential for foliar diagnosis of vineyards in RS to be performed based on regionalized parameters.","PeriodicalId":33658,"journal":{"name":"Pesquisa Agropecuaria Gaucha","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43512082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aimed to evaluate the levels of thermal comfort for bovine dairy production in Rio Grande do Sul state through the THI calculation and its impact on milk production, considering daily yields of 15 kg and 30 kg per cow. The THI values and decrease in milk yield were calculated using data between 1990 and 2021 from the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). The observed results considering the average temperatures showed that conditions of thermal discomfort occur only in summer, intensifying in January. Milk production was most affected in the western border region of the state, corresponding in parts to the physiographic regions of Alto Uruguai, Missões, and Campanha, which have a warmer climate. The climate classification proposed by Maluf had the best spatial correspondence with the ITU. This classification may be used in the evaluation of places with greater suitability for dairy farming in the state and to indicate places where it is necessary to implement action to mitigate the effects of thermal discomfort in dairy cattle.","PeriodicalId":33658,"journal":{"name":"Pesquisa Agropecuaria Gaucha","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49608440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
