Abstract: Mycelium growth, production and bromatologicals characteristics of shiitake in function of lineages and chemical and physical properties of eucalyptus clones and species were evaluated. In Experiment 1, mycelium growth of two Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler (LE-95/01 and LE-96/18) species in culture mediums prepared with sawdust extract from seven species (E. saligna, E. grandis, E. urophylla, E. camaldulensis, E. citriodora, E. paniculata e E. pellita) and three eucalyptus clones (hybrid E. grandis x E. urophylla) was analyzed. The experimental design was totally randomized, in 2x10 factorial design, totalizing 20 treatments with 10 repetitions, being that each repetition corresponded to one Petri dish. In Experiment 2, mycelium growth of eight L. edodes lineages (LE-96/17, LE-95/02, LE-95/07, LE-98/55, LE-96/18, LE-95/01, LE-96/13 and LE-98/47) in culture mediums prepared with sawdust extract from Eucalyptus spp was evaluated. The experimental design was totally randomized, with 8 treatments and 8 repetitions, being that each repetition corresponded to one Petri dish. In Experiment 3, production and bromatological characterization of two Lentinula edodes lineages cultivated in seven species and three clones of eucalyptus was evaluated. The experimental design was totally randomized, in 2x10 factorial design, totalizing 20 treatments with 40 repetitions, being that each repetition corresponded to one log. In Experiment 4, physical and chemical properties of seven species and three clones of eucalyptus before and after the cultivation of two L. edodes lineages was evaluated. The experimental design was totally randomized, in 2x10 factorial design, totalizing 20 treatments with 9 repetitions, being that each repetition corresponded to one log. The culture medium that provided highest averages of mycelium growth of L. edodes lineages LE-95/01 and LE-96/18 was the one with...

Orientador: Rafael Montanari / Resumo: Um dos fatores limitantes para o uso da agricultura de precisão é o número de amostras necessárias para representar espacialmente a distribuição do nutriente ou insumo aplicado de forma variada. Portanto objetivou-se com a presente pesquisa avaliar com base na análise geoestatística o número ideal de subamostras para compor uma composta que melhor determine as zonas específicas de manejo e ratificar a existência de um atributo (solo e/ou planta) que possa, espacialmente, funcionar como indicador de qualidade, isto é, caracterizar as zonas específicas de manejo, com o intuito de aumentar a produtividade do Eucalyptus camaldulensis com sete anos de idade. O estudo foi desenvolvido em 2015, na Fazenda de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão da Faculdade de Engenharia de Ilha Solteira – UNESP, em Selvíria (MS, Brasil), latitude 20° 20’ 31” S, longitude 51° 24’ 12” W. Para tanto, foram analisadas as correlações lineares e espaciais entre atributos do eucalipto e de um LATOSSOLO VERMELHO Distrófico, os quais foram: circunferência à altura do peito (CAP), altura da árvore (ALT), o volume médio anual de madeira com a casca (VOL), densidade do solo (DS), resistência do solo à penetração (RP), teor umidade gravimétrica (UG), porosidade total (PT), potencial hidrogeniônico (pH), matéria orgânica (MO) e estoque de carbono (EC). Foi instalada uma malha geoestatística com 120 pontos, sendo constituída de seis transeções paralelas (sentido N-S), espaçadas em 14 m, com 20 pontos amostrais cada, espaç...

Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the ideal number of subsamples to compose a composite that better determines the specific areas of management and ratify the existence of an attribute (soil and / or plant) that can, spatially, to function as a quality indicator, that is, to characterize the specific areas of management, in order to increase the productivity of Eucalyptus camaldulensis at seven years of age. The study was conducted in 2015, at the UNESP - São Paulo State University, in Selvíria (MS, Brazil), latitude 20 ° 20 '31 "S, longitude 51 ° 24' 12" W. In order to do so, we analyzed the linear and spatial correlations between eucalyptus attributes and a Distrofic RED LATOSOLO, which were: circumference at breast height (CBH), height of the tree (HT), mean annual volume of wood with bark (VOL), soil bulk density (SB), soil penetration to resistance (PR), gravimetrical moisture contents (GM), total porosity (TP), hydrogenation potential (pH), organic matter (OM) and carbon stock content (CS). A geostatistical mesh was installed with 120 points, consisting of six parallel transects (N-S direction), spaced at 14 m, with 20 sample points each, spaced at 18 m, leaving a 10 m border. With three sample compositions, the sample composition of a single data (CA1), sample c... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

A imersão algumas vezes é realizada com o substrato saturado com água, podendo então, haver redução da ação esperada. Portanto, este trabalho visou avaliar o desenvolvimento inicial em campo de dois clones de eucalipto imersos em solução de fertilizante e cupinicida com diferentes teores de umidade no substrato. Neste estudo foram utilizados dois clones híbridos de eucalipto (“urograndis”), codificados como VT 05 e VT 04, recomendados para região de Luiz Antonio, SP, onde o experimento foi instalado, e identificados no experimento como clone 1 e clone 2 respectivamente. O delineamento experimental foi do tipo fatorial 2x2x3, com dois clones, duas situações de umidade para substrato (denominadas saturada e seco) e três situações de calda (sulfato de amônio com e sem cupinicida e testemunha), interagindo o fertilizante sulfato de amônio a 1 % e o cupinicida fipronil a 0,5 %, totalizando doze tratamentos e quatro repetições. Após o plantio foi mensurado o diâmetro de colo e altura de muda das 12 mudas centrais de cada parcela, realizando essas medições por 2 meses em intervalos de 15 dias. Posteriormente foi determinado as taxas de incremento para altura e diâmetro do colo para cada período, sendo, esses dados submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey com significância de 5%. Foram verificadas diferenças nas taxas de crescimento entre os dois clones estudados, independentemente dos tratamentos com umidade do substrato... / To maintain the sapling quality at planting and ensure fast development, it is recommended the sapling immersion in solution of nitrogen fertilizers and termiticides. The immersion is sometimes performed with the substrate saturated with water, thus, can occur reduction of expected action. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the initial development in the field of two eucalyptus clones immersed in solution of fertilizer and termiticide with different levels of moisture in the substrate. In this study, it was used two hybrid clones of eucalyptus (“urograndis ), codified as VT 05 and VT 04, recommended for the region of Luiz Antonio, SP, Brazil, where the experiment was carried out, and identified as clone 1 and clone 2, respectively. The experimental design was 2x2x3 factorial, with two clones, two situations of substrate moisture (wet and dry) and three different solution interacting fertilizer ammonium sulfate at 1% and termiticide fipronil at 0.5%, totaling twelve treatments and four replications. After planting was measured the saplings stem diameter and height of 12 central plants of each plot, with evaluations made during 2 months at intervals of 15 days. Using data from field samples was determined rates of increase for height and stem diameter for each period, and these data were submitted to ANOVA and means compared by Tukey test with a significance of 5%. There were differences in growth rates between the two clones, regardless of treatment with substrate moisture and termiticide. The presence of termiticide did not affect the rates of increase in height and diameter in two eucalyptus clones tested. The variation of moisture from the substrate -root seedlings set of Eucalyptus did not affect the rates of increase in height and diameter in two eucalyptus clones tested. There was better use of the product used during the immersion of seedlings when the substrate is less... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Dessa forma, o manejo integrado destas doenças se torna obrigatório, com várias medidas que podem ser adotadas: assepsia, a regulação, o controle biológico e o controle químico. O objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar o comportamento dos diferentes patógenos que atuam no viveiro, sob diferentes produtos químicos, assim como o efeito destes na produção mudas, a redução do nível de sintomas e o possível efeito morfo-fisiológico dos fungicidas sobre as mudas. O capitulo 1, destinou-se em avaliar o efeito “in-vitro” de sete fungicidas sobre o crescimento micelial de Botrytis cinerea, Ceratocystis fimbriata, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Cryphonectria cubensis, Cylindrocladium scoparium, Dothiorella sp., Fusarium solani, Pestalotia sp., Rhizoctonia solani e Quambalaria eucalypti, patogênicos a estacas de eucalipto, nas concentrações de 1, 10, 100 e 1.000 μg.mL-1 (p/v) de ingrediente ativo (i.a.) em meio de BDA. Os resultados mostraram que para os fungicidas BAS 516 04 F, BAS 358 01F e BAS 512 14 F, seis patógenos foram totalmente ou parcialmente inibidos na concentração de 1 ou 10 μg.mL-1. Já o fungicida BAS 510 01 F se mostrou o menos eficiente. O capítulo II teve como objetivo de avaliar os diferentes produtos químicos no desenvolvimento das mudas de eucalipto. No experimento utilizaram os clones C041H e P4295H, com duas coletas de cada clone, utilizando seis compostos químicos. As mudas foram avaliadas quanto à altura da parte aérea (H), diâmetro do coleto (DC), massa seca total (MST), massa seca da parte aérea (MSPA), massa seca das raízes (MSR), relação entre altura da parte aérea e diâmetro do coleto (RHDC), relação entre altura da parte aérea e massa seca da parte aérea (RHMSPA)... / Nursery shows microclimatic conditions that favor the development of pathogens that cause serious harm, including death of seedlings. In this way, the integrated management of these diseases becomes mandatory, with various measures that can be taken: asepsis, regulation, biological control and chemical control. The goal of this work was to study the behavior of different pathogens that work in the nursery under different chemicals products, as well the effect of these in the production seedlings, the decreasing of the symptoms level and the possible effect of fungicides on morpho-physiological seedlings. The target of chapter I was evaluate the “in vitro” effect of seven fungicides above the mycelium growing of Botrytis cinerea, Ceratocystis fimbriata, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Cryphonectria cubensis, Cylindrocladium scoparium, Dothiorella sp., Fusarium solani, Pestalotia sp., Rhizoctonia solani and Quambalaria eucalypti, pathogens to the eucalyptus stakes on concentrations of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 μg.mL-1 (p/v) of active ingredient (i.a) in vehicle BDA. The results showed that the fungicides BAS 516 04 F, BAS 358 01F and BAS 512 14 F six pathogens were partially or completely inhibited at a concentration of 1 or 10 μg.mL-1. In the other side, the fungicide BAS 510 01 F was the less efficient. The Chapter II was to evaluate the different chemicals products in the development of eucalyptus seedlings.
