The emergence speed index (ESI) and the percentage of total emergence were evaluated in seeds inoculated with R. solani and treated with KPhi. The number of nodules per root system, dry nodule mass, quantified the compatibility Phi x R. tropici, dry mass, nitrogen content, and nitrogen accumulation in the shoots. KPhi promoted a higher ESI and increase in plant stand compared to the control treatment. The number of nodules formed and the nitrogen content and accumulation in the KPhi treatments were similar to control (seeds inoculated with R. tropici). Thus, the treatment of seeds with KPhi provides control of R. solani and is compatible with R. tropici.","PeriodicalId":48845,"journal":{"name":"Bragantia","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135107567","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}

This study aimed to determine the influence of environmental variables on conidia germination, mycelial growth, and infection in persimmon fruit and shoots/twigs. The germination was quantified at 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C, with 6, 12, and 24 hours of wetness period. The effects of the same temperatures were also evaluated for mycelial growth, sporulation, and infection on ‘Fuyu’ fruit. The infection on shoots/twigs were quantified at 5, 10, 15, 22, 25, 27, and 35°C. The conidia germinated at all temperatures and wetness combinations, except at 10°C, with 6 hours of wetness. At 24 hours of wetness, the optimal temperature for conidia germination was 21.3°C. The optimal temperature for mycelial growth ranged between 21.7 to 24.3°C. The optimal temperature for lesion growth on fruit was 25.7°C; at 25°C, the incubation period was of two days, and the latent period lasted 12 days. On shoots/twigs, the temperature of 35°C anticipated in two days the onset of symptoms and 5-10°C delayed in eight-10 days the onset of symptoms in relation to temperature of 25°C. In nonlignified shoots, C. horii can cause symptoms from 15 to 35°C. In lignified twigs, C. horii was able to cause symptoms from 5 to 35°C. Because of the incidence and disease progression in most of climatic situations, our results reinforce the importance of monitoring and constantly removing diseased shoots, twigs, and fruits from the orchard to reduce the spread of the pathogen.","PeriodicalId":48845,"journal":{"name":"Bragantia","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135262462","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 this context, it is vital to understand how the location, scale, and shape of their frequency distributions are changing over time. This study used the flexibility of neural networks to model changes in the probability of daily extremes of maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) air temperature data in Campinas, Brazil — one of South America’s longest meteorological records spanning from 1890 to 2022. Based on the Extremal Types Theorem, we employed a conditional density network to model the parameters of the generalized extreme value distribution (GEV-CDN) as functions of time. Our findings indicate that a GEV-based model, where the location and scale parameters vary over time, best described the variations in the Tmin series. However, a GEV-based model with only the location parameter varying over time best described the variations in the Tmax series. From an agrometeorological perspective, these results suggest that the probability of Tmax values leading to crop failures is rapidly increasing. The findings indicate a decrease in the probability of agronomic frost events in Campinas over the past 133 years, but the rate of this decrease has slowed in recent years. This result, combined with the negative value of the GEV’s shape parameter, suggests that it is unlikely that Campinas may become an agronomic-frost-free region. To facilitate visualization of the changes in the probability of Tmax and Tmin values from 1890 to 2022, we have developed an internet application available at https://climatology-iac.shinyapps.io/Shinny/.","PeriodicalId":48845,"journal":{"name":"Bragantia","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135609167","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}
