Exposure of bulbs to cold, a physiological phenomenon called vernalization, and bulb size are important factors in the production of lily bulbs and flowers. This study aimed to verify the influence of vernalization of bulbs on flowering cut lily plants, as well as the impact of size and shape of harvest on the production and quality of flowers and bulbs. In turn, the way the stems of the plants used for cut-flower production are cropped is of higher importance for the production of new flower bulbs. In this sense, the experiment was conducted in Viçosa, MG, in a greenhouse in a randomized block design, in split splot scheme with three replications, in which the vernalization periods (25, 35 and 45 days at 4 ± 1 C) constituted the plots; bulb sizes (diameters of 3.2-3.8 cm; 2.5-3.2 cm 1.9- and 2.5 cm), subplots and ways to harvest (full harvest of the stem at the required length for the commercial harvest of the flower, commercial stem harvest at the commercial length, maintaining 10cm of stem in the soil; removal of the floral buds as soon as their appearance is observed and harvest at the end of the season), the sub subplots. The bulbs were planted in beds, with 15 x 20 cm spacing. It was evaluated the number of plants that flowered and the number of flowers, the length and the diameter of the floral buds, fresh and dry weights, diameter and plant height as well as number, perimeter and amount of fresh and dry bulbs. There was a decrease in the plant height with the increase of the vernalization period and a reduction of the diameter of the planted bulbs, as well as of the number and the fresh and dry weights of the produced buds. The production of flowers and buds in number, size and weight was directly proportional to the size of the planted bulbs, while the form of harvest with removal of flower buds increased the number, the perimeter and the fresh and dry weights of the buds. Bulbs with diameter between 3.2 - 3.8 cm, stored for 25 days in cold chamber enable greater production of flowers and the highest stem height, factors that favor the increase in market value.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity and the chemical quality of hydroponic corn forage grown on different substrates. The experiment was conducted at the Federal Institute of Science and Technology of Roraima – Campus Novo Paraíso, in the municipality of Caracaraí, Roraima, Brazil. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, with five sowing rates (treatments) and four replications. Hybrid corn seeds 2022 were used, sown on a double-sided canvas. When germination started, fertigation with nutrient solution was carried out. The evaluation occurred on the 10th day after sowing and included determination of plant height (cm) and roughage productivity (kg m² and t ha-¹) and bromatological analyses (% N, PB, FDA, NDF and NDT). For bromatological analyses, corn plants were collected, dried in an oven at 65 ºC and then crushed. The productivity of natural forage (k m² and t ha-¹), plant height and the neutral fiber content (NDF) of hydroponic corn were higher at the sowing rate of 2.5 kg m². These variables were influenced by the sowing rate and type of substrate, but resulted in a lower crude protein content. The results show that sugarcane bagasse was a suitable substrate for hydroponic corn, which is justified by the fact that it presents fewer moisture losses, avoiding the loss of nutrients in the nutrient solution. At a sowing rate of 1.0 kg m², the forage produced had a higher content of nitrogen, crude protein and total digestible nutrients, which are important for animal nutrition.
