A análise sobre a variabilidade dos padrões climatológicos espaciais e temporais das chuvas fornecem informações valiosas para a condução de cultivos agrícolas, principalmente em condições de sequeiro. Assim, o presente estudo objetivou caracterizar a variabilidade da precipitação no MATOPIBA, região produtora de soja, sob influência das fases do ENSO e do gradiente térmico do Atlântico Tropical. Foram utilizados dados diários de precipitação do período de 1980-2013 dispostos em uma grade de espaçamento de 0,25º x 0,25°, abrangendo 963 pontos sobre a região. O acumulado mensal da precipitação foi especializado por meio de sistemas geográficos de informação e da geoestatística. A variabilidade da precipitação foi analisada por meio da aplicação do teste de Mann-Kendall, considerando três cenários de condições meteorológicas (climatologia, favorável-wet e desfavorável-dry) à ocorrência da precipitação. Os volumes de chuvas foram relativamente maiores no cenário da fase fria do ENSO combinado com o gradiente inter-hemisférico apontando para o Sul (favorável-wet), em contrapartida, verificou-se um aumento de condições de risco hídrico nos anos com ocorrência da fase quente do ENSO e o gradiente apontando para o Norte (desfavorável-dry), embora com exceções registradas em algumas áreas no mês de Janeiro e Fevereiro. Tendências positivas e negativas foram identificadas, constatando indícios de alterações nos padrões da variável, previamente para os cenários da climatologia e desfavorável (dry). Os resultados poderão contribuir para o desenvolvimento de soluções e direcionamento na tomada de decisões pelos agentes da cadeia produtiva que visem a mitigação de impactos em decorrência da variabilidade da precipitação na região estudada.  Characterization of rainfall variability in the MATOPIBA, soybean producing region AbstractThe analysis of spatial and temporal rainfall patterns variability provides invaluable information for the development of dryland agriculture systems. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to characterize the variability of rainfall in the MATOPIBA, an important soybean producing region, under the influence of ENSO phases and the tropical Atlantic thermal gradient. We used daily rainfall data for the period from 1980-2013 arranged in a 0.25º x 0.25º spacing grid, comprising 963 points over the study region. Monthly accumulated rainfall has been specialized through geographic information systems and geostatistics. Variability rainfall was analyzed by applying the Mann-Kendall test, considering three scenarios of meteorological conditions (climatology, favorable-wet and unfavorable-dry) to the occurrence of precipitation. Rainfall volumes were relatively higher in the ENSO cold phase scenario combined with the southward-favorable interhemispheric gradient. ENSO and the gradient pointing north (unfavorable-dry), although with exceptions recorded in some areas in January and February. Positive and negative trends were identified, showing evidence of changes in the variable's patterns, previously for the climatology and unfavorable (dry) scenarios. The results may contribute to the development of solutions and decision making direction by the agents of the productive chain aiming at mitigating impacts due to the variability of precipitation in the studied region.Keywords: Climate variability; ENSO; Agrometeorology

Field experiments were conducted at AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, Orissa University of Agriculture & Technology, Phulbani, Odisha (India) to study the yield performance of 10 important turmeric genotypes, and the effect of five different nutrient management practices on four outstanding varieties in order to address the problem of low rhizome yield and curcumin content of the zone. Based on yield data of 10 turmeric varieties over two years (2007 and 2008) evaluated in RBD with three replications, highest rhizome yield of 21.7 t/ha was observed in Lakdong followed by Rajendra Sonia (16.0 t/ha). The second experiment was laid out in factorial design involving four varieties and five nutrient treatments with 3 replications. The yield data over five years (2009-10 to 2012-13 and 2014-15) shows Lakdong (9.14 t/ha) to be the best among varieties and lime @10% LR + 50% organic + 50% inorganic (9.15 t/ha) among nutrient treatments. Significant variety × nutrient interaction was observed with respect to rhizome yield. Highest rhizome yield was obtained from turmeric variety Lakdong with 100% organic treatment (11.1 t/ha). While two varieties, Lakdong and Phulbani Local exhibited highest yield with 100% organic treatment, performance of Rajendra Sonia was the best with 50% organic + 50% inorganic + lime @10% LR and Roma with 50% organic + 50% inorganic. Significant variation was observed among nutrient treatments of all four turmeric varieties for NPK content in shoot and rhizome. The interaction between varieties and nutrient management practices for curcumin content was significant.

Aim. To consider soil continuality and discreteness as features of heterogeneity manifestation in a soil cover, important for construction of agriculture systems. Methods. Geostatistical research of soil spatial heterogeneity, revealing the contours of a fi eld with various parameters of fertility. Results. The use of principles of precise agriculture and inspection of indicative properties of fi eld soils using a regular grid allowed to divide a fi eld into contours with three levels of fertility: the fi rst one is characterized by optimal or close to optimum properties which allows refusing from (or reducing substantially) tillage, introduction of fertilizers or chemical ameliorates; the second one has average parameters of fertility corresponding to zonal soils and demands the application of zonal technologies; the third one (with the worst parameters of fertility) presupposes regular use of the improved technologies. Conclusions. The introduction of precise agriculture will allow replacing a traditional zonal system with thenew which is soil-protecting and resource-saving one.

Trends over the past 25 years indicate that Argentina’s growth in its grain crop productivity has largely been supported by the depletion of the extensive fertility of its Pampean soils. Long-term research provides insight into sustainable nutrient management strategies ready for wide-scale adoption.

The last nutrient management review of black pepper was done in 1968. There is, therefore, a need to develop new technology to improve pepper production and transfer that technology to production site. This experiment was carried out to study the effect of newly developed biochemical fertilizer on some physiological characteristics, yield and soil fertility of pepper. The treatment consisted of T1 (BS): chemical fertilizer (N:12%, P:12%, K:17%); T2 (BK1): biochemical fertilizer F1 N:15%, P:5%, K:14) and T3 (BK2): biochemical fertilizer F2 (N:13%, P:4%, K:12). The biochemical fertilizer F1 out-yielded chemical and biochemical fertilizer F2 by 75.38% and 16.45% respectively with the higher yield being associated with various phonotypical alterations, which are reported here. Significant measureable changes were observed in physiological processes and plant characteristics, such as large leaf area index, more chlorophyll content and high photosynthesis rate coupled with lower transpiration rate in biochemical fertilizer F1(BK1) treatment compared with other treatment. The high fertility level in biochemical fertilizer F1 and biochemical fertilizer F2 (BK2) reflected the important of organic material in improving soil quality. In conclusion, the achieve high growth performance and yield in pepper, chemical fertilizer alone is insufficient whilst combination of organic and inorganic fertilizer with balance nutrient content gave a significant increase in yield and growth of pepper.
