Objetivou-se avaliar a influência de frequências de fertirrigação fosfatada nos componentes de produção e produtividade da melancia. O delineamento adotado foi o de blocos ao acaso constituído por seis tratamentos, referentes a seis frequências de fertirrigação com fósforo, sendo: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 e 64 fertirrigações no ciclo e quatro repetições. As variáveis analisadas foram: produtividade comercial; massa média do fruto; diâmetro polar; diâmetro equatorial; espessura da casca e teor de sólidos solúveis. O aumento da frequência de fertirrigação fosfatada proporcionou um melhor desempenho da cultura da melancia. As variáveis produtividade comercial e espessura da casca foram influenciadas significativamente pelas frequências de fertirrigação com fósforo, tendo as mesmas apresentado resposta linear. A frequência de fertirrigação fosfatada de 64 fertirrigações no ciclo de cultivo proporcionou a maior produtividade da melancia. Palavras-chave: Citrullus lanatus; quimigação; ácido fosfórico; adubação fosfatada.  AZEVEDO, B.

D.FREQUENCY OF FERTIRRIGATION WITH PHOSPHATE IN WATERMELON CULTURE PRODUCTIVITY  2 ABSTRACT Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is of great socioeconomic importance for the Brazilian Northeast, where crop under irrigation has increased and allowed the producer to offer the best quality fruits. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of frequency of fertirrigation with phosphate  components on watermelon production and productivity. The study design was a randomized block consisting of six treatments, referring to six frequencies of fertirrigation with phosphorus, as follows: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 in fertigation cycle and four replications. The variables analyzed were: commercial productivity; fruit weight; polar diameter; equatorial diameter; shell thickness and soluble solids. The increased frequency of phosphorus fertirrigation provided a better performance of the watermelon crop. The variables commercial productivity and shell thickness were significantly influenced by the frequencies of fertirrigation with phosphorus, and presented the same linear response. The 64 frequency of phosphorus fertirrigation  of the crop cycle provided the greatest productivity of watermelon. Keywords: Citrullus lanatus; chemigation; phosphoric acid; phosphate fertilization.

Microalgae cultivation is a promising alternative to traditional agriculture in arid—semi-arid areas. The aim of this study is to assess the viability of long-term cultivation of native Arthrospira platensis in Gran Canaria. Maximum culture productivity (0.08 g/L/day) and optimal concentration range (0.6–0.9 g/L) were firstly determined in 8000 L raceway under a greenhouse. Afterwards, a stable productivity of 0.06 g/L/day (6.0 g/m2/day) was obtained by reusing the culture medium during 26 days of cultivation, with consistent biomass biochemical composition. Outdoor temperature and daily solar irradiation ranged between 17.9–30.7 °C and 79.2–274.8 W/m2, while culture pH and salinity were in the range 9.42–10.77 and 11.2–14.9 g/L, respectively. Protein (>60%), potassium (1.8 g/100 g) and C-phycocyanin (7.2%) content is in the high-range of commercial Spirulina, which makes BEA 1257B promising for food and extraction of natural pigments/antioxidants. The dried biomass complies with international standards for human consumption, because of low heavy metal content and no pathogens presence. Product quality can be improved by reducing ash (≃12%) and sodium (1.5%) content through biomass washing optimization and/or further dewatering step. Other microorganisms can be prevented by high alkaline conditions and mild chemical treatments. These results pave the way for a sustainable microalgae-based blue bioeconomy in the Canary Islands.

Phytoremediation, the use of plants to decontaminate soils and water resources from organic pollutants such as herbicides, is economically and environmentally a promising technique applied in many areas, including agriculture. The objective of this work was to evaluate the development of bean plants cultivated in the field, in soil with different levels of trifloxysulfuron-sodium contamination, following cultivation of two green manure species, as well as to evaluate the possibility of recontamination of the area by such herbicide with the straw permanence on the soil. The experiment was carried out in Coimbra, MG, Brazil, on a sandy clayey Red - Yellow Argisol from March to November 2003. Four levels of soil contamination with trifloxysulfuron-sodium (0.00; 3.75; 7.50; and 15.00 g ha-1) were used as well as the following five types of cultivation prior to bean sowing in the area after herbicide application: black velvet beans (Stizolobium aterrimum) followed by removal of straw; S. aterrimum, followed by permanence of straw; jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis), followed by removal of straw; C. ensiformis followed by permanence of straw; and without prior cultivation, weed-free (weeded control). The leguminous plants were kept in the area for 65 days, cut close to the soil, and with its aerial part left or not on the surface of the experimental plot, depending on the treatment. Fifteen days after the species were cut, bean was sown in the area. At 45 days after emergence (DAE) of the bean plants, plant height and dry mass of the aerial part were evaluated. Grain productivity was determined during harvest. Height, dry matter of the aerial part and grain productivity of the bean plants, cultivated in an area previously contaminated with trifloxysulfuron-sodium at any of the levels tested, were higher with prior cultivation of S. aterrimum or C. ensiformis. At the lowest level of herbicide contamination, prior cultivation of C. ensiformis was found to be more efficient than that of S. aterrimum in mitigating the harmful effects of trifloxysulfuron-sodium on bean grain production. The permanence of the straw of the green manure species during the bean cycle did not harm the development of the plants or caused culture productivity losses, indicating that straw permanence in the area does not promote recontamination of the area.

ABSTRACTTruncation of the algal light-harvesting antenna is expected to enhance photosynthetic productivity. The wild type and three mutant strains ofSynechocystissp. strain 6803 with a progressively smaller phycobilisome antenna were examined under different light and CO2conditions. Surprisingly, such antenna truncation resulted in decreased whole-culture productivity for this cyanobacterium.

Assim, objetivou-se estimar a produtividade da cultura do milho com os modelos agrometeorológicos e avaliar as quebras de rendimento da cultura na microrregião de Cruz Alta. Para estimar a produtividade real da cultura foram adotados os modelos agrometeorológicos de Jensen (1968), Minhas, Parikh e Srinivasan (1974) e, Doorenbos e Kassan (1979), todos com parâmetros ajustados. A precisão da estimativa foi determinada a partir de análise de regressão linear e correlação. Ainda, foram simuladas as quebras de rendimento para cada ano avaliado, no período de 1993-2014. O desempenho variou de “mau” até “muito bom”, sendo que os modelos de Jensen e Minhas, Parikh e Srinivasan foram classificados como “muito bom” em outubro e novembro. Recomendam-se os coeficientes -0,768, 0,699, 0,374 e -0,330 para o modelo de Jensen, e -1,438, 1,078, 0,439 e -0,442 para o modelo de Minhas, Parikh e Srinivasan, conforme o estádio fenológico. Também, observou-se quebra de rendimento na maioria dos anos estudados, notoriamente nas faixas maiores de 30% de perda de produtividade, podendo atingir frequência relativa de 30% para outubro, novembro e dezembro.   Palavras-chave: déficit hídrico, modelagem, quebra de rendimento.     BUSKE, T.

AGROMETEOROLOGICAL MODELS FOR ESTIMATION AND COMPARATIVE BREAKDOWN OF MAIZE CULTURE PRODUCTIVITY         2 ABSTRACT   Agriculture in the state of Rio Grande do Sul is predominant in spring-summer crops, whose production is affected by water deficit. This study aimed to estimate maize productivity with agrometeorological models and to evaluate crop yield losses in the Cruz Alta micro region. Agrometeorological models, with adjusted parameters  of Jensen (1968), Minhas, Parikh and Srinivasan (1974) and, Doorenbos and Kassan (1979) were adopted to estimate the actual productivity of the crop. The accuracy of the estimation of each model was determined by linear regression analysis and correlation. Also, yield breaks were simulated for each year, in the period of 1993-2014. The performance ranged from “poor” to “very good”, with Jensen's and Minhas, Parikh and Srinivasan models being rated “very good” in October and November. The recommended coefficients are -0.768, 0.699, 0.374 and -0.330 for Jensen’s model, and -1.438, 1.078, 0.439 and -0.442 for Minhas, Parikh and Srinivasan’s model, according to the phonological stage. It was also observed a yield break in most of the years, notoriously where productivity loss is higher than 30%, reaching relative frequency of 30% for October, November and December.   Keywords: water deficit, modeling, break of yield.
