O experimento foi realizado nos ciclos produtivos de 2016 e 2017 na Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas - UNESP, no município de Botucatu-SP, situado a 22º 51’ 55” S e 48º 27’ 22” O e a 810 m. O sistema de condução utilizado nas videiras foi a espaldeira baixa no espaçamento de 2,0 x 0,8 m. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 x 2 x 2, sendo quatro doses (0, 75, 150, 300 kg K2O ha1), duas fontes de potássio (cloreto de potássio e sulfato de potássio) e dois porta-enxertos (‘IAC 572’ e ‘IAC 766’). Em cada ciclo de produção, a aplicação dos tratamentos foi parcelada em duas vezes durante o ciclo, sendo a metade da dose aplicada na época da poda e outra no início da maturação dos frutos. As variáveis analisadas durante os ciclos foram a avaliação dos estádios fenológicos, análise de K disponível no solo e diagnose foliar. Na colheita foram avaliadas: produção, produtividade, massa fresca, comprimento e largura dos cachos, massa fresca de bagas e engaços. No mosto da uva foram avaliados o teor de sólidos solúveis (SS), Acidez titulável (AT), relação (SS/AT) e pH. Concluiu-se que, a adubação potássica incrementou os teores de potássio no solo nas camadas de 0-20 e 20-40 cm, e os teores de potássio e cálcio nas folhas na época da floração. A adubação potássica não influenciou a produção, produtividade e as características físicas e químicas dos frutos. / The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of rootstocks, sources and rates of potassium in the production and physicochemical characteristics of bunches and berries of grape ‘Niagara Rosada’. The experiment was conducted in the productive cycles of 2016 and 2017 at the Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences- UNESP, located in Botucatu, SP (22º 51’ 55” S and 48º 27’ 22” O and 810 m). The plants were spaced 2,0 x 0,80 m, in espalier support system low. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design in a 4 x 2 x 2 factorial scheme, with four rates (0, 75, 150, 300 kg K20 ha-1), two potassium sources (potassium chloride and potassium sulfate) and two rootstocks ('IAC 572' and 'IAC 766'). The application of the treatments were divided in two times in the cycle, half of the rate in the season of pruning and another half in the beginning of the maturation of the fruits. During the cycle were evaluated the phenological stages, potassium contents in the soil and nutritional leaf samples. At harvest, were evaluated: production; productivity; fresh weight, length and width of bunches, weight of berries and stems. The must grape was evaluated for soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), relationship SS/TA and pH. It was concluded that, potassium fertilization increased the potassium contents in the layers of 0-20 and 20-40 cm, and in the potassium contents and leaf compensation at the time of flowering. Potassium fertilization is not influential in production, productivity and physical and chemical characteristics of fruits.

<p>Samples of SCR catalysts were impregnated with the following alkali salts; KCl, K2SO4 and ZnCl2 at two different concentrations in a wet impregnation method. The activities of the six samples were measured in a test reactor and at different temperatures between 250-350 ºC. Compared to fresh catalyst, the impregnated samples all had lower activity. It seems like KCl is the most poisoning salt, depending on the lowest value of the activity. The experimental results are expected as compared to earlier articles, which reports that all alkali salts has deactivating effects on a catalyst and that KCl is among the most poisoning ones. By making a cross-section SEM analysis, the penetration of the metals at different depths in to the catalyst material wall was evaluated. An ICP-AES analysis was carried out in order to see the concentration of K and Zn of the test samples. Finally, the pore diameter and active surface was measured by BET method. Since the values of the active surface didn’t change compared to a fresh catalyst and the pore diameter was only slightly decreased we can suppose that the alkali salts deactivates the catalyst by coating of the catalyst pore structure and not as a pore blocking.</p>

Field trials were conducted in 2016, 2017 and 2018 with dark fire-cured, dark air-cured, and burley tobacco at Princeton, Murray and Lexington Kentucky. Tobacco variety used in 2016 was a low converter (LC) variety, varieties used in 2017 and 2018 were LC and higher converter (HC) varieties. Potassium sources used at all locations and in all years were potassium sulfate (K2SO4) and potassium chloride (KCl). Application rates used at all locations and in all years were 93, 186, 279 kg K ha-1along with an untreated control that received no potassium. In all trials, tobacco that was treated with either potassium source yielded numerically higher than the untreated control. In seven out of 10 trials, LC varieties had a higher moisture content than HC varieties. Tobacco treated with KCl had higher chloride levels than tobacco treated with K2­SO4.Quality grade index was similar for tobacco treated with KCl compared to tobacco treated with K2SO4. In all trials, tobacco treated with KCl had numerically lower Tobacco Specific Nitrosamines (TSNA) levels than tobacco treated with K2SO4. Reductions in TSNA levels were 30% lower in tobacco treated with KCl compared to tobacco treated with K2SO­4.
