Influência da vernalização de semente na produção, crescimento e desenvolvimento de plantas de lisianthus
Flowering induction and control is a limiting factor when commercially producing cut flowers of lisianthus and seed exposure to low temperatures, a physiological event called vernalization, induces the differentiation of vegetative buds to reproductive buds, contributing to a flowering that is uniform and has quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of seed vernalization in three cultivars of lisianthus (Excalibur, Echo and Mariachi) for 12, 24, 36 and 48 days at temperatures of 5, 10 and 15°C, in the production and quality of buds, making this technology feasible to large-scale production. During cultivation it was observed that the lower the temperature and higher the vernalization period, the lower the cycle and the greater the number of plants induced to flowering for all three cultivars, and those are important features in the context of flower production in a commercial scale. The seeds subjected to vernalization originated plants that produce flower stems within the standards required by the market, showing that vernalization was efficient to induce flowering without affecting the quality of the buds. To produce lisianthus as a cut flower of quality, it is recommended seed vernalization of Mariachi and Echo cultivars for 24 days at 5°C and Excalibur for 36 days at 5°C.

Intercropping period between species of green manures and organically-fertilized coffee plantation
The adequate supply of nitrogen to coffee plantation is one of the main challenges of organic agriculture. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of organic fertilization with two legume species in different intercropping periods on nitrogen nutrition, initial growth and productivity of coffee plantation. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, in 2x4 split-plot factorial design, being that the plot consisted of two intercrops (coffee+jack bean and coffee+hyacinth bean) and the four intercropping periods (30, 60, 90 and 120 days after sowing of the legume), and the subplot by 50% and 100% of fertilization for the coffee plantation. The increase in the intercropping period between legumes and coffee plantation favored a greater increase in height and node number of coffee trees, besides showing higher heights when fertilized with 50% of the recommended dose and intercropped with hyacinth bean. The intercropping with the hyacinth bean resulted in a larger crown diameter of coffee trees in 2010 and a larger diameter accumulated in the two evaluated years. Higher N contents were found in coffee trees fertilized with 100% of the recommended dose. The legumes supplied the nutritional requirements of the coffee harvest fertilized with 50% of the dose. The bean yield of the processed coffee is not affected by the intercropping with the green manures of jack bean or hyacinth bean.

Decomposition and nitrogen mineralization from green manures intercropped with coffee tree
The knowledge about the rate of decomposition and nitrogen mineralization of green manures provides synchronization with the higher absorption stage by the coffee tree. The rate of decomposition and nitrogen mineralization varies according to the species of green manure and with the environmental factors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the decomposition and nitrogen mineralization of two green manures intercropped with coffee trees for three different periods. The experiment was divided into two designs for statistical analysis, one referring to the characterization of plant material (fresh mass, dry matter, dry matter content, nitrogen concentration and accumulation in the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) and hyacinth bean (Dolichos lablab) and another to evaluate the rate of decomposition and N mineralization of these species. The decomposition rate decreased in both species as their growth time increased in the field. The decomposition was influenced by the phenology of green manures. Nitrogen mineralization of the jack bean decreased as the growth period in the field increased and was faster than hyacinth bean only when cut at 60 days. The N mineralization was slower than mass decomposition in both species.

CERATOCYSTIS WILT IN ‘UBÁ’ AND ‘DURA’ MANGO TREES UNDER WATER DEFICIT
The occurrence of water stress in mango trees grown in orchards located in semi-arid climates in Brazil is frequent. Water stress caused to plants may predispose them to the incidence of fungal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of water deficit on the incidence and severity of Ceratocystis wilt in mango trees considered resistant. Seedlings of ‘Ubá’ and ‘Dura’ were kept in pots and submitted to different water stress levels and inoculated with Ceratocystis fimbriata isolate (CEBS15). Mortality was low in ‘Ubá’ plants and high in ‘Dura’ plants. ‘Ubá’ plants showed lower severity and lesion length. In ‘Ubá’ plants, water deficit influenced the increase in lesion length. ‘Dura’ plants showed greater severity and lesion length, which were not affected by increasing water stress. It was concluded that ‘Ubá’ variety is resistant to fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata, even in severe drought conditions, while ‘Dura’ variety was not resistant to CEBS15 isolate, even under optimum irrigation conditions.

DISTRIBUIÇÃO VOLUMÉTRICA E ESPECTRO DE GOTAS DAS PONTAS HIDRÁULICAS LD 11002 E MAG-2
Uma eficiente aplicação de agrotóxico somente é possível ao se dispor de pontas hidráulicas que propiciem distribuição volumétrica satisfatória e espectro de gotas uniforme, uma vez que a ponta é o principal componente da pulverização hidráulica. Desse modo, objetivou-se, com este trabalho, realizar a caracterização técnica das pontas hidráulicas de pulverização LD 11002 e MAG-2. O ensaio da determinação do perfil e da uniformidade de distribuição do jato foi montado em esquema fatorial 2 x 3 x 4, constituído por dois modelos de pontas hidráulicas, três alturas da barra de pulverização e quatro pressões de trabalho, analisados em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições para o estudo da uniformidade de distribuição e quinze repetições para o perfil de distribuição. Com os valores do perfil de distribuição foi verificada a simetria de distribuição para a ponta LD 11002. O espectro de gotas foi determinado empregando-se o analisador de partículas a laser modelo Spraytech, e o ensaio foi montado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro tratamentos (quatro pressões de trabalho) e com vinte e cinco repetições. As duas pontas não apresentaram distribuição satisfatória à altura de 0,5 m. A ponta LD 11002 apresentou assimetria e esta foi influenciada pela pressão de trabalho. O diâmetro de gotas produzido pelas pontas LD 11002 e MAG-2 reduziu com o aumento da pressão de trabalho.

CARACTERIZAÇÃO DAS VIBRAÇÕES MECÂNICAS NO E RUÍDO NO POSTO DE OPERAÇAO NO TRATOR AGRÍCOLA MODIFICADO “TRANSFORMAX”
Os estudos ergonômicos visam adaptar o trabalho ao homem por meio da análise da tarefa, da postura e dos movimentos do trabalhador, assim como de suas exigências físicas e psicológicas, no intuito de reduzir a fadiga e o estresse, proporcionando um posto de trabalho confortável e seguro. Um dos fatores indesejáveis que ocorre em tratores agrícolas é a vibração, não só por causa do desconforto produzido e possível degradação da saúde do operador, mas também por causa do aumento das tensões dinâmicas que podem levar à fadiga e insuficiência dos elementos do trator. Já o ruído excessivo pode causar diminuição ou perda da capacidade auditiva do operador quando o tempo de exposição for muito longo. Dessa forma, objetivou-se, avaliar os níveis de ruído e vibração no posto de operação do trator agrícola modificado Transformax®, em função da força de tração e rotação do eixo motriz, com tipos de rodados, com largura de 13.6 e 18.4. Para esse experimento, foi realizada uma análise de espectro de frequências para todos os tratamentos com intuito de verificar o comportamento das vibrações verticais e longitudinais na base do posto de operação, de acordo com cada faixa de frequência e os níveis de ruído foram determinados com auxílio de um decibelímetro digital, posicionado próximo ao ouvido do operador. As variáveis, força de tração e rotação do eixo motriz, não apresentaram efeito significativo nos níveis de ruído no posto de operação do trator, entretanto, os níveis médio de ruído foram mais elevados no trator quando equipado com pneu 18.4.
