The generation of lignocellulosic residues is increasing and there is not always the correct destination of these residues. The millicomposting is an environmentally friendly alternative that allows the production of organic compounds from different agricultural residues for later use as a substrate in the production of vegetables. In this sense, this work was divided in three stages, whose objectives were: to evaluate the consumption of agricultural and urban residues by the Trigoniulus corallinus (Chapter I); to evaluate the efficiency of the millicomposts produced from agricultural and urban residues, at different composting times by the activity of the Trigoniulus corallinus diplopods, as substrates for the production of Vera lettuce seedlings, in addition to evaluating the pH, electrical conductivity and total macronutrient contents of the gongocomposts after storage for three months (Chapter II) and to evaluate the agronomic performance of lettuce in an organic production system, according to the quality of the seedlings of cultivar Vera lettuce grown by different millicomposts (Chapter III) In Chapter I, the results confirm that T. corallinus diplopods are able to ingest nutrient poor residues, but clearly exhibit their food preferences for residues containing higher nutrient contents. In Chapter II, of the three millicomposts evaluated, only the substrates T2-millicompost 125 days and T3- millicompost 180 days were efficient in lettuce production, however, the T3 substrate was responsible for the production of plants with greater accumulation of biomass, height and stability of the clod, being similar to the substrate T4-SIPA, considered as control. The storage for a period of three months allowed changes in pH, electrical conductivity and macronutrient contents, and only the electrical conductivity values were higher than allowed by Brazilian legislation. In the evaluation of the lettuce seedlings, the substrate T4-SIPA followed by the substrate T2-millicompost 125 days, were those that provided seedlings with greater development. In Chapter III, the T1-90 days treatment was lower in all evaluated parameters, when compared to the other treatments, but its estimated productivity meets the expectations for the state of Rio de Janeiro. Although there were no statistical differences, the estimated productivity was 10.38 and 11.82% lower for the treatment T2-125 days in relation to treatments T3-180 days and T4-SIPA, respectively, proving that the quality of the seedlings transplanted on the field is able to directly influence productivity in the lettuce crop. / O gongocomposto ? um substrato 100% constitu?do por composto org?nico gerado pela atividade de dipl?podes da esp?cie Trigoniulus corallinus, popularmente conhecidos como gongolos, que s?o grandes consumidores de serrapilheira e garantem a ciclagem de nutrientes para o solo. A gera??o de res?duos lignocelul?sicos ? crescente e nem sempre h? a destina??o correta destes res?duos. A gongocompostagem ? uma alternativa amiga do meio ambiente, que viabiliza a produ??o de compostos org?nicos a partir de diferentes res?duos agr?colas para posterior uso como substrato na produ??o de hortali?as. Nesse sentido, este trabalho se dividiu em tr?s etapas, cujos objetivos foram: avaliar o consumo de res?duos agr?colas e urbanos pelo dipl?pode Trigoniulus corallinus (Cap?tulo I); avaliar a efici?ncia dos gongocompostos produzidos a partir de res?duos agr?colas e urbanos, em diferentes tempos de compostagem pela atividade dos dipl?podes Trigoniulus corallinus, como substratos para a produ??o de mudas de alface cultivar Vera, al?m de avaliar os valores de pH, de condutividade el?trica e dos teores de macronutrientes totais dos gongocompostos ap?s o armazenamento pelo per?odo de tr?s meses (Cap?tulo II) e avaliar o desempenho agron?mico da alface em sistema de produ??o org?nica, de acordo com a qualidade das mudas de alface crespa cultivar Vera produzidas por diferentes gongocompostos (Cap?tulo III) No Cap?tulo I, os resultados confirmam que os dipl?podes T. corallinus s?o capazes de ingerir res?duos pobres em nutrientes, por?m exibem nitidamente as suas prefer?ncias alimentares por res?duos que contenham maiores teores nutricionais. No Cap?tulo II, dos tr?s gongocompostos avaliados, apenas os substratos T2-gongocomposto 125 dias e T3-gongocomposto 180 dias se mostraram eficientes na produ??o de alface, contudo, o substrato T3 foi respons?vel pela produ??o de plantas com maior ac?mulo de biomassa, altura e estabilidade de torr?o, sendo semelhantes ao substrato T4-SIPA, tido como controle. O armazenamento pelo per?odo de tr?s meses proporcionou altera??es nos valores de pH, condutividade el?trica e teores de macronutrientes, sendo que apenas os valores de condutividade el?trica ficaram acima do permitido pela legisla??o brasileira. Na avalia??o das mudas de alface, o substrato T4-SIPA seguido pelo substrato T2-gongocomposto 125 dias, foram os que proporcionaram mudas com maior desenvolvimento. No Cap?tulo III, o tratamento T1-90 dias foi inferior em todos os par?metros avaliados, quando comparado aos demais tratamentos, por?m sua produtividade estimada atende ? esperada para o estado do Rio de Janeiro. Embora n?o tenha havido diferen?as estat?sticas, a produtividade estimada foi 10,38 e 11,82% menor para o tratamento T2-125 dias em rela??o aos tratamentos T3-180 dias e T4-SIPA, respectivamente, comprovando que a qualidade da muda transplantada no campo ? capaz de influenciar diretamente na produtividade na cultura da alface.

This thesis uses an efficiency analysis of agricultural systems to assert that, in lieu of rising prices of fossil fuel, people need to come into more direct contact with their food systems. With a switch to smaller, more efficient farms that rely less on fossil fuel and are connected with the communities they supply for, we can avoid an energy crisis turning into a famine. These smaller-scale systems can help create self-contained, carbon-neutral communities.

To produce enough food for a growing population, soil remediation is crucial unless more forests are to be cleared to make way for agriculture land. Finely ground rocks have been proposed as a soil amendment for highly weathered soils. In Chontales, Nicaragua most of the forest has been converted to cattle pasture. In fertile soils, crop agriculture is more lucrative per unit of area than cattle grazing, but the low nutrient content of Chontales soils makes it uneconomic. The purpose of the study was to examine whether incorporation of rock dust is a sustainable way to increase the fertility in Chontales and thus can be part of a strategy that encourages farmers to adopt crop agriculture as an alternative to animal husbandry. A field experiment was conducted in which basaltic rock dust and compost was applied to soil for cultivation of common beans. Three sustainability parameters were analyzed and the diffusion potential of the proposed technology was assessed. The experiment failed to confirm the positive result obtained in previous studies on yield in similar soils and no correlation between pest resistance and rock dust applications was found. The failure to produce a confident result on yield was partly due to a leaf hoppers invasion and harm caused by intruding calves into the experiment site. Rock dust was found to be typically free of toxic agents and little environmental damage is associated with the practice, provided that the source of extraction is close to the application site. The relative disadvantage in terms of social prestige and incompatibility with the current cattle oriented production system were found to be the main obstacles for diffusion of the technique in Chontales.

The great agricultural potential of Brazil is recognized internationally, occupying the position of producing greater of sugarcane of the world. The projected growth for production of sugarcane in the country will imply in the generation of great volume of the residues for the sugarcane industry, that if made use inadequately can cause great damages to the environment. On the other hand, these same residues can be used as source of nutrients, reducing the ambient contamination and the costs with fertilization. However, few studies exist on the amount and form of application of these residues in sugarcane-beats. The filter cake, one of the residues of the sugarcane industry, is presented as excellent organic product for the recovery of ground and with low fertility, as well as, for the supply of nutrients. The present research was carried through in ground of argillaceous texture, an area of commercial farming with system of conventional plantation and without irrigation, having for objective to evaluate the morphologic, technological, and productivity characteristics of the sugarcane (3rd raton) for different forms of application and dosage of filter cake. The experiment was installed using the experiment delineation of blocks design with ten (10) treatments and five (5) repetitions, in 5 factorial project X 2 + 1 that they correspond the 5 increasing dosage of filter cake (0, 10, 20, 40 and 80 t ha-1) combined the 2 ways of application (in the superficial line and the one between incorporated line) and a corresponding additional treatment to a mineral fertilization. The variety of the sugarcane used in the experiment was the SP 81-3250 with average cycle and demanding in fertility of the ground, being its plantation carried through in October of 2000. The experiment was after installed 3º cut of the canavial in September, 11 of 2003 and (4º cut of the canavial) in June, 28 of 2004. Were had been evaluated number of sptout for hectare to the 60 and 120 days after the installation of the experiment, average height and average diameter of sugarcane stalks (m), Brix of the broth (%), POL of the sugarcane (%), productivity of sugarcane for hectare and productivity of sucrose for hectare. The gotten results had shown that it had difference statistics for number of sptout for hectare in the interaction between application way and time of sampling. Significant difference was not observed, in none of the evaluated variable, for the different ways of application of the filter cake. The different dosage of applied filter cake had presented significant difference for height of sugarcane stalks, Brix, POL, TCH and TPH. From the results presented in this study, it was concluded that the filter cake application presented effect positive on sugarcane stalks, exactly in the dosage of 10 t ha-1, independently in the application way. / O Brasil é o maior produtor de cana-de-açúcar, açúcar e etanol do mundo, o que implica na geração de grande volume de subprodutos pela indústria sucroalcooleira, destacando-se o bagaço, a torta de filtro e a vinhaça. A torta de filtro, apresenta-se como excelente produto orgânico para a recuperação de solos exauridos e com baixa fertilidade, bem como, para o fornecimento de nutrientes. Entretanto, existem poucos estudos sobre a quantidade e forma de aplicação desse subproduto em cana soca. A presente pesquisa foi realizada em solo de textura argilosa, numa área de lavoura comercial com sistema de plantio convencional e sem irrigação, e teve por objetivo avaliar a produtividade e características morfológicas e tecnológicas da cana-de-açúcar (3ª soca) para diferentes formas de aplicação e doses de torta de filtro. O experimento foi instalado utilizando-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso (DBC) com onze (11) tratamentos e cinco (5) repetições, em esquema fatorial 5 X 2 + 1 que correspondem a 5 doses crescentes de torta de filtro com 71,4 % de umidade (0, 10, 20, 40 e 80 t ha-1) combinadas a 2 modos de aplicação (na linha superficial e na entre linha incorporada) e um tratamento adicional correspondente a uma adubação mineral. A variedade da cana-de-açúcar utilizada no experimento foi a SP 81-3250 de ciclo médio e exigente em fertilidade do solo, sendo seu plantio realizado em outubro de 2000. O experimento foi instalado após o 3º corte do canavial, em 11 de setembro de 2003, e colhido (4º corte do canavial) em 28 de junho de 2004. Foram avaliados número de perfilhos por hectare, aos 60 e 120 dias após a instalação do experimento, altura e diâmetro médio de colmos (m), Brix do caldo (%), POL da cana (%), produtividade de colmos por hectare (TCH) e produtividade de sacarose por hectare (TPH). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que houve diferença estatística para número de perfilhos por hectare na interação entre modo de aplicação e época de amostragem. Não foi observado diferença significativa, em nenhuma das variáveis avaliadas, para os diferentes modos de aplicação da torta de filtro. As diferentes doses de torta de filtro aplicadas apresentaram diferença significativa para altura de colmos, Brix, POL, TCH e TPH.. A partir dos resultados apresentados neste estudo concluiu-se que a aplicação de torta de filtro apresentou efeitos positivos sobre a cana soca, mesmo na dose de 10 t ha-1, independentemente do modo de aplicação. / Mestre em Agronomia

The analysis of management of sheep and goat breeding on the organic farm is the main aim of my thesis. The herd was examine at the Slunečná organic farm in the Šumava Mountains. The animals were monitored during grasing season by force of metod ethology monitoring. Sheep and goats were monitored and it was done four times for always 24 hours during a grazing period. The method of the direct monitoring was used and the base categories of the behaviour (food intaking, lying, standing and moving) were written down by an interval method - the interval took 10 minutes. The comfortable, mother's, social and sexual behaviour were writen down as well. Gained data from single sighting was expressed absolute and percentage share form total tables and graphs. The results were interpreted on the basis of the study of special literature and legislation about organic farming and animal ethology. The way of sheep and goats farming was according to an inborn biorhythm and gave the animal free and natural ways of behaviour. The physiological and ethological needs of animals are satisfactory. Sheep and goats have the possibility to graze freely on pastures and they effect positively on the landscape management. They keep grasslands without woody plants and weeds.
