The study was developed in the Integrated Agroecological System area, in Seropédica (RJ, Brazil) between June 2011 and May 2012. The applied fertilizer formulations were: Formulation 1, 100% of nitrogen dose recommended for fig tree supplied by fertilizing with castor bean cake (CB); Formulation 2, 50% of nitrogen dose supplied by DFW application and 50% of nitrogen dose supplied by CB; Formulation 3, 75% of nitrogen dose supplied by DFW application and 25% of nitrogen dose from CB; Formulation 4, 100% of nitrogen dose supplied by DFW application.Data were submitted to analysis of variance and the averages were compared by Tukey’s test at 10% probability. The results demonstrated that branches length, number of leaves per branch, number of fruits, production and yield were lower in plants submitted to Formulation 4. Contamination of fruits by thermotolerant coliforms or Salmonellasp did not occur after DFW use as fertilizer. The results showed that the use of DFW in fig tree cultivation was sufficient to provide the nutritional needs of plants, as regards macronutrients and Fe. Keywords: fertirrigation, environmental impact, final disposal of effluents and crop nutrition. SILVA, J.B. G.; MARTINEZ, M. A.; SALOMÃO, L. C. C.; CECON,P. R.; MATOS, A. T.; SILVA, L. D. B. EFEITOS DO USO DE ÁGUA RESIDUÁRIA DE BOVINOCULTURANO CULTIVO DA FIGUEIRA (FICUS CARICA L.) 2 RESUMO Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar os efeitos do uso da água residuária de bovinocultura de leite (ARB) no crescimento, produção, padrão fitossanitário dos frutos e na concentração de nutrientes nas folhas da figueira. As formulações de adubação aplicadas foram: Adubação 1 - 100% da dose de nitrogênio fornecida pela adubação com torta de mamona (TM); Adubação 2 - 50% da dose de nitrogênio comaplicação de ARB e 50% com TM; Adubação 3 - 75% da dose de nitrogênio com aplicação de ARB e os outros 25% da dose com TM; Adubação 4 - 100% da dose de nitrogênio com aplicação da ARB. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas utilizando-se o Teste de Tukey a 10% de probabilidade. Diante dos resultados verificou-se que comprimento dos ramos, o número de folhas por ramos, o número de frutos, a produção e a produtividade foram menores nas plantas submetidas à Adubação4. Não ocorreu contaminação dos frutos por coliformes termotolerantes e Salmonella sp. Diante dos resultados concluiu-se que o uso de ARB no cultivo da figueira não proporciona deficiência nutricional às plantas no que se refere aos macronutrientes (N, Ca, Mg, K e P). Palavras-chave: fertirrigação, impacto ambiental, disposição final de efluentes, nutrição vegetal.

SUMMARY Fig (Ficus carica) tree latex was a source of treatment of different diseases in the Iranian traditional medicine reported by Avicenna in his 10th century book Canon of Medicine. The aim of this investigation was to establish the anticancer effect of fig tree latex on human cancer cells. The in vitro effect of different doses of fig tree latex including 2.5 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml, and 10 mg/ml on esophageal cancer cell line was evaluated after 72 hours by MTT assay. There was a significant change in 10 mg/ml treatment of latex after 72 hours on esophageal cancer line (P; 0.025). Ten mg/ml was the optimum concentration in the inhibition of cell line growth. Fig (Ficus carica) tree latex could be a candidate as a potential agent for the inhibition of cancerous cells production and development.

En México, el sistema de producción intensivo de higo (Ficus carica) var. “Nezahualcoyotl” requiere de densidades de 12,500 plantas ha-1 para rendimientos superiores a 100 t ha-1. La propagación asexual de esta variedad mediante estacas no está exenta de enfermedades. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar los agentes causales de la pudrición de estacas de la variedad “Nezahualcoyotl” y generar la correspondiente escala de severidad. La patogenicidad de los aislamientos se corroboró a través de los postulados de Koch. La secuenciación de las regiones ITS1-ITS4 indicó que los aislamientos estuvieron altamente emparentados con Fusarium solani, Alternaria alternata y Pythium ultimum. Se reporta por primera vez una escala de severidad con cinco niveles de daño inducidos por F. solani y A. alternata y tres por P. ultimum. La inoculación por separado con F. solani y A. alternata promovió el 100% de daño de la corteza entre los 21-25 días después de la inoculación (DDI). La coinoculación de los tres patógenos indujo más tempranamente (entre los 11-13 DDI) la necrosis de la epidermis (85%) y de la corteza (80%). La escala de severidad será un valioso auxilio en la cuantificación y seguimiento de la pudrición del tallo de la higuera.

Cultivation Techniques

Abstract Fig tree (Ficus carica L.) stands out due to its range of cultivation and easy adaptation to diverse edaphoclimatic conditions. In addition to its adaptability, fruits have nutraceutical characteristics and are used in industry and for fresh consumption, widely appreciated by the world cuisine. Due to lack of manpower and phytosanitary problems, the area planted in Brazil has decreased recently. To overcome these obstacles, the production of quality seedlings is the first step to obtaining productive and healthy orchards. Therefore, the aim of the present literature review was to gather data referring to advances in research related to the fig tree propagation. Currently, the methods found for fig tree propagation consist of seedling production, where entomophilic or vegetative pollination occurs. Commercially, the propagation method by cutting is still the most used for this crop; however, other methods can also be used, such as the use of burrs or plunging and grafting techniques and tissue culture. Although there is a diversity of propagation methods and new technologies being developed, cuttings remain the most feasible method. In addition, obtaining healthy and quality seedlings is one of the main problems currently found in ficiculture, since, in addition to the scarcity of studies related to propagation, the use of resistant cultivars and pathogen-free substrates should be prioritized due to susceptibility of fig trees to nematodes. Thus, further studies should be carried out in order to seek new information on the cultivars most adapted to each locality, as well as improvements in propagation and cultivation techniques.

Identification And Quantification

Furanocoumarins are the major phytoalexins of Ficus carica and are effective natural drug candidates for treatment of several types of cancer and skin disease. The objectives of this study were to analyze and quantify linear furanocoumarins, mainly psoralen and bergapten, in wood and bark of stems from eight Algerian varieties of fig and to establish the differences in the content of these metabolites in the eight local samples. Psoralen and bergapten contents in the stem bark and wood (in μg/g DW) varied respectively from 146.6 to 1110.3 and from 395.7 to 1671.8 for psoralen, and from 114.3 to 524.0 and from 144.2 to 718.6 for bergapten. This study fills a gap in our knowledge of furanocoumarin distribution in different parts of the fig tree. Psoralen and bergapten concentrations were higher in the wood than in the stem bark. Most of the dark fruited fig trees produce these two coumarins more than the green ones.
