In order to increase the durability of these materials, a free matrix of calcium hydroxide was used, a degrading agent of natural fibers in a cementitious environment. The treatment of the textile was performed by the hornification process, aiming to reduce the fiber volume variation and consequently to improve fiber-matrix adhesion and durability. Reinforced cementitious plates with two layers of jute and malva textile were produced by a pneumatic system and exhibited double-cracked flexural tensile behavior for most experimental conditions (plates reinforced with treated and untreated textile and matrix of reference and modified by 40% metakaolin) at twenty and eight days. The composites reinforced with textile treated for 10 cycles of hornification, presented multiple cracking only in the middle third of the specimens. The durability of the composites was investigated by means of the accelerated aging process (50 wetting and drying cycles) and they were evaluated by tensile strength tests, microstructural analysis and physical characterization. In the composites with metakaolin, the hornified and untreated textile did not result a significant increase in flexural tensile strength (MOR) in relation to the reinforced reference matrix (about 6.5 MPa for all composites), however, those presented high specific energy (more than 100% increase). After aging, the matrix modified and reinforced with textile in both conditions (untreated and hornified) were efficient, since they preserved the mechanical characteristics, mainly MOR (6.5 MPa). This was not observed for the reinforced reference matrix, in this case, there was a 25% loss in resistance (MOR = 5.15 MPa). / A presente pesquisa apresenta o desenvolvimento e caracterização de compósitos cimentícios reforçados com tecido das fibras de juta e malva. Para aumentar a durabilidade destes materiais foi utilizada uma matriz livre de hidróxido de cálcio, agente degradador de fibras naturais em ambiente cimentício. O tratamento do tecido foi realizado pelo processo de hornificação, visando reduzir a variação volumétrica das fibras e consequentemente melhorar a adesão fibra-matriz e a durabilidade. Placas cimentícias reforçadas com duas camadas de tecido de juta e malva foram produzidas com o auxílio de um sistema pneumático. A durabilidade dos compósitos foi investigada por meio do processo de envelhecimento acelerado (50 ciclos de molhagem e secagem) e os mesmos foram avaliados pelos ensaios de resistência à tração na flexão, análise microestrutural e caracterização física. Para a maioria das condições experimentais (placas reforçadas com tecido não tratado e com matriz de referência e modificada por 40% de metacaulinita), as placas compósitas apresentaram comportamento à tração na flexão com dupla fissuração aos vinte e oito dias de cura. Os compósitos reforçados com tecido tratado por 10 ciclos de hornificação apresentaram múltipla fissuração apenas no terço médio dos corpos de prova. Nos compósitos com metacaulinita, os tecidos hornificados e não tratados não resultaram em um aumento significativo na resistência à tração na flexão (MOR) em relação à matriz de referência reforçada (cerca de 6,5 MPa para todos os compósitos), contudo, aqueles apresentaram alta energia específica em relação a este (acréscimo acima de 100%). Após o envelhecimento, a matriz modificada e reforçada com tecido nas duas condições (não tratado e hornificado) foram eficientes, pois preservaram as características mecânicas, principalmente o MOR (6,5 MPa). Isto não foi observado para a matriz de referência reforçada, neste caso, houve perda de 25% na resistência (MOR = 5,15 MPa).

The vegetable fibers have numerous advantages for use in composites such as low cost, low density and abrasion, are nontoxic, biodegradable, abundant in nature and other factors. From this, it was decided to use the mauve fiber (Urena lobata Linn), widespread in the Amazon region and sold in the local market, as a reinforcing agent in cement composites. This study aimed to develop laminar cement composites with long alignments of mauve fibers, consisting of 6% by volume of fibers dispersed in 5 longitudinal layers, to obtain a laminar plate. It was proposed two kinds of treatment to the composite: impregnating the fibers by immersion coating based on acrylic copolymer emulsion in order to decrease hydrophilicity and matrix treating with comminuted ceramic waste in 50% partial replacement of the Portland cement to provide calcium hydroxide decrease and improving the mechanical strength of the composite protecting the vegetable filler. The composites were characterized by direct tensile, 4 points bending, optical microstructural analysis and scanning electron. The fibers were characterized by thermogravimetry and morphological analysis using optical and scanning microscopy in order to evaluate varnish treatment. The results of electron microscopy showed no improvement interfacial between fiber and matrix after treatment. Moreover, the mechanical tests showed that the composite with the partial substitution of ceramic waste have presented the same or superior results when compared to the Portland cement matrix, both for the reinforcement with the treated fibers and the untreated, leading to consider the mauve fiber relevance as a promising reinforcement agent for high strength composites. / Desde a antiguidade é conhecida à utilização em larga escala de fibras naturais ou outros materiais orgânicos e inorgânicos como reforço de matrizes frágeis a fim de melhorar suas propriedades mecânicas. As fibras vegetais apresentam inúmeras vantagens no uso em compósitos uma vez que possuem baixo custo, baixa densidade e abrasividade, são atóxicas, biodegradáveis, abundantes na natureza entre outros fatores. A partir disso, optou-se em utilizar a fibra de malva (Urena Lobata Linn), difundida na região amazônica e comercializada no comércio local, como agente de reforço em compósitos cimentícios. Este estudo buscou o desenvolvimento de compósitos laminares cimentícios com fibras longas e alinhadas de malva, com teor de 6% em volume de fibras, dispersas em 5 camadas longitudinais, tendo como resultado final uma placa laminar. Foram propostos dois tipos de tratamento aos compósitos: impregnação das fibras por meio de imersão em verniz a base de copolímeros acrílicos em emulsão, com o intuito de diminuir a hidrofilicidade e tratamento da matriz por resíduo cerâmico cominuído em substituição parcial de 50% ao cimento Portland, a fim de proporcionar uma diminuição do hidróxido de cálcio, melhorando a resistência mecânica do compósito e protegendo o reforço vegetal. Os compósitos foram caracterizados mecanicamente através de ensaios de tração direta e de flexão em 4 pontos, além de análise microestrutural óptica e eletrônica de varredura. Já as fibras foram caracterizadas por termogravimetria e análise morfológica, utilizando microscopia óptica e de varredura, com o intuito de avaliar o tratamento com verniz. Os resultados de microscopia eletrônica indicaram que não houve melhoramento interfacial entre fibra e matriz após o tratamento. Por outro lado, os ensaios mecânicos, indicaram que os compósitos com a substituição parcial de resíduo cerâmico apresentaram resultados iguais ou superiores quando comparados aos de matriz de cimento Portland, tanto para o reforço com as fibras tratadas quanto as sem tratamento, levando a considerar a relevância da fibra de malva como agente de reforço promissor para compósitos de alta resistência.

Cadmium is heavy metal toxic for plants and animals and environmental contaminant which must be removed from natural environment. In recent years a new method phytoremediation is getting more attention. This method uses plants called hyperaccumulators for extraction of heavy metals from soils. Hyperaccumulators have, however, after accumulation of heavy metals no other use. Therefore new possibilities are discussed in last few years. Energy plants, in this thesis sorghum and malva, could be used for accumulation of heavy metals from soils and after that these plants could be used as energy source. This thesis wants to find out if sorgum and malva are able to grow in cadmium contaminated environment and if these plants will accumulate cadmium. It also compares different cultivars of sorghum in toxicity tests and compares ability of these cultivars to grow in cadmium contaminated environment and to accumulate this heavy metal. Further it focuses on affection of uptake of kadmium ions by sorhum in presence of glutathione or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

Allelopathy occurs when one organism releases a compound into the environment that affects the functioning of another organism. Scientists have long suspected that alleopathic plant compounds could offer novel, softer chemistries to the ongoing battle of controlling pests in agricultural fields. Strawberry growers rely on toxic fumigants to kill soilborne fungal pests, weeds, nematodes, and insects. Increased regulations have reduced the use of fumigants (including methyl bromide), and strawberry growers need new sustainable pest control solutions. We selected four putative allelochemicals with known fungicidal and herbicidal activity (ferulic acid, gallic acid, juglone, and p-Coumaric acid). We assessed the pesticidal activity of these plant compounds both in agar and in soil on two emerging soilborne fungal pathogens (Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. fragariae), and four annual weeds commonly found in strawberry production fields (Malva parviflora, Melilotus officinalis, Poa annua, and Senecio vulgaris). We also assayed lettuce (Lactuca sativa ‘Inferno’), which served as a positive control plant species due to its sensitivity to phytotoxic compounds. Fitted sigmoidal dose-response curves predicted EC50 and EC75 values for each combination of plant compound and pest. All plant compounds inhibited the in vitro radial mycelial growth of the two soilborne fungal pathogens in a dose-dependent manner. Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. fragariae was more sensitive to the plant compounds than Macrophomina phaseolina. Average EC50 values for the radial mycelial growth of two F. oxysporum f.sp. fragariae isolates were 75.1 parts per million by weight (ppmw) juglone, 469 ppmw p-Coumaric acid, and 687 ppmw ferulic acid. Average EC50 values for the radial mycelial growth of two M. phaseolina isolates were 196 ppmw juglone, 2869 ppmw p-Coumaric acid, and 5716 ppmw ferulic acid. The three compounds we assayed in vitro also reduced M. phaseolina colony forming unit counts in soil and the EC50 values were 476 ppmw ferulic acid, 612 ppmw juglone, and 827 ppmw p-Coumaric acid. Metconazole, the conventional fungicide control, did not inhibit M. phaseolina colony forming unit counts in soil at its label high rate. The plant compounds required similar or lower rates to inhibit colony forming units that grew from M. phaseolina overwintering structures (microsclerotia) in soil as to inhibit radial mycelial growth in vitro. Based on the EC50 value in soil assays, ferulic acid was the least expensive plant compound to apply on a per acre basis to inhibit M. phaseolina ($74,226). In F.oxysporum f.sp. fragariae soil assays, the compounds induced hormesis at lower rates and may be germination stimulant candidates. Metconazole and the high rates of every compound effectively or completely inhibited F. oxysporum f.sp. fragariae colony forming units in soil. The plant compounds were more herbicidal than fungicidal in vitro. When combining the in vitro seedling length results for L. sativa, M. parviflora, P. annua, and S. vulgaris the EC50 values differed significantly (p < .0001) and were: 47 ppmw juglone, 120 ppmw p-Coumaric acid, 189 ppmw ferulic acid, and 297 ppmw gallic acid. At least one rate of ferulic acid, juglone, and p-Coumaric acid inhibited the germination of all plant species, while gallic acid only inhibited the germination of P. annua at 1000 ppmw (p < .05). In soil, visible microbial contamination in individual wells of 24-well plates and seed dormancy made it difficult to fit curves to weed seedling length data. The soil assay L. sativa seedling length EC50 values 11 days after initial treatment were slightly higher than in vitro, although plant compounds were in the same order of phytotoxicity: 129 ppmw juglone, 616 ppmw p-Coumaric acid, 644 ppmw ferulic acid, and 1584 ppmw gallic acid. Based on the EC50 value in soil assays, the least expensive compound to inhibit L. sativa seedling length on a per acre basis was gallic acid ($21,676). Germination 26 days after initial soil treatment generally declined in a dose-dependent manner for each compound. There was a direct relationship between plant compound rate and seedling damage in soil with the higher rates of all compounds, except p-Coumaric acid, inducing damage comparable to a conventional herbicide (pendimethalin or oxyfluorfen). Contaminated treatments appeared to be due to an interaction between plant compounds and microorganisms because herbicide and water controls had almost no microbial growth 11 days after initial treatment. Further, there was a significant positive linear relationship between level of contamination in phenolic acid-treated wells (ferulic acid, gallic acid, and p-Coumaric acid, p < .0001) and the in soil rate. This relationship was slightly negative in juglone soil treatments (p = .0167), which may be due to its greater antimicrobial activity than the phenolic acids. We propose that herbicidal effects in soil were due to the joint effect of the plant compounds themselves, and the microbial growth in wells. Microbial growth was either antagonistic or additive to the inhibitory action of the plant compounds. The plant compounds we assayed were inhibitory of emerging fungal pathogens in strawberry production and common annual strawberry field weeds. Evidence presented in this thesis correlates well with past research that not only found plant compounds to be herbicidal and fungicidal, but also described their modes-of-action (such as the production of reactive oxygen species that causes necrotic lesions on roots, and inhibition of glycolytic enzyme activity that prevents germination), and implicate plant compounds as carbon sources for a variety of microorganisms. Compound prices are currently exorbitant, but may decline as demand increases. Whether or not they provide effective pest control may depend on soil texture, organic matter, microbial diversity, and other edaphic factors.

Actions directed to preventive measures such as alternative control, are of great importance through the exploration of secondary compounds present in medicinal plants with antimicrobial activity. This study aimed to, assess the efficiency of crude extracts in the control of anthracnose in bell pepper, and analyze the control stability of promising treatments in relation to different extract, inoculum, temperature and pathogen isolates concentrations. In preliminary selection, 16 plant species were used in order to obtain aqueous and hidroalcoólico extracts. The aqueous extracts of garlic (Allium sativum L.), Mallow (Malva sp.), and ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe.) showed greater than 97% reductions in disease severity levels. The greatest value of CL75 was found for the garlic extract (3.5%), while the lowest value of CL75 was verified with the application of the ginger extract (2.1%). The lowest rate of efficiency reduction of the anthracnose control (TRE) with the pathogen inoculum increase occurred with garlic extract. With regard to different C. gloeosporioides isolates, significant interaction was found between the different extracts and isolates of the pathogen. The plant extracts were effective in controlling the disease in temperatures of 20, 25 and 30 ° C, while temperatures in the 10, 15and 35 ° C there was no disease. There were no differences in the efficiencies of garlic and ginger extracts, while the extract of hollyhock had the lower efficiency at 20 ° C, differing from the other temperatures, and other extracts at this temperature. The results obtained in this study indicate the great potential for use of the garlic extract (6%) in anthracnose control of bell pepper, considering its stability in different situations. / A antracnose é considerada uma importante doença do pimentão (Capsicum annuum L.) no Estado de Pernambuco e em várias partes do mundo, causando perdas significativas à produção de frutos para comercialização. Ações voltadas para medidas preventivas como o controle alternativo, são de grande relevância por meio da exploração de compostos secundários presentes em plantas medicinais com atividade antimicrobiana. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo, avaliar a eficiência de extratos vegetais brutos no controle da antracnose em pimentão, bem como analisar a estabilidade do controle dos tratamentos promissores em relação a.diferentes concentrações dos extratos, concentrações do inoculo e isolados do patógeno e, temperaturas. Na seleção preliminar foram utilizadas 16 espécies vegetais para obtenção de extratos aquosos e etanólicos. Os extratos aquosos de alho (Allium sativum L.), malva (Malva sp.) e gengibre (Zingiber officinale Roscoe.) propiciaram reduções superiores a 97% nos níveis de severidade. O maior valor de CL75 foi constatado para o extrato de alho (3,5%), enquanto o menor valor de CL75 foi verificado com a aplicação de extrato de gengibre (2,1%). A menor taxa de redução da eficiência do controle (TRE) da antracnose com o incremento do inóculo do patógeno ocorreu no extrato de alho. Com relação a diferentes isolados de C. gloeosporioides, foi constatada interação significativa entre os tipos de extratos e os isolados do patógeno. Os extratos vegetais foram eficientes no controle da doença nas temperaturas de 20, 25 e 30 oC, enquanto nas temperaturas 10, 15 e 35 °C não houve doença. Não houve diferenças nas eficiências dos extratos de alho e gengibre, enquanto o extrato de malva apresentou a menor eficiência a 20 oC, diferindo das outras temperaturas, bem como dos demais extratos nessa temperatura. Os resultados obtidos nesse estudo indicam o grande potencial de utilização do extrato de alho a 6% no controle da antracnose em pimentão, considerando sua estabilidade em diferentes situações.

No processamento desses produtos, os agricultores costumam submergir fardos de mandioca e de malva em águas de igarapés, com a finalidade de amolecer a casca e remover as substâncias tóxicas, no caso da mandioca, ou proporcionar o desfibramento, no caso da malva. Os efeitos dessa prática sobre a qualidade da água fluvial são pouco conhecidos. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa objetivou avaliar os possíveis impactos dessas práticas sobre a hidrobiogeoquímica fluvial em igarapés dessa região. Adotou-se como estratégia coletar amostras de águas fluviais a montante do ponto de lavagem dos produtos, no local de lavagem e a jusante deste local. A fim de conhecer, com maior clareza, as possíveis alterações na química das águas, provocadas pelas lavagens de mandioca e de malva, somou-se à estratégia de campo a realização de experimentos em tanque com vazões de entrada e saída controladas. Em ambas abordagens foram monitoradas as seguintes variáveis hidrobiogeoquímicas no material dissolvido: pH, condutividade elétrica, oxigênio dissolvido, cálcio, magnésio, potássio, sódio, cloreto, sulfato, fosfato, nitrato, amônio, além de nitrogênio total e carbono orgânico e inorgânico dissolvidos. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que o processo de lavagem de raízes de mandioca e de plantas de malva contribuiu para alterar a hidrobiogeoquímica fluvial de pequenos igarapés apenas pontualmente. Porém, algumas das alterações observadas localmente permaneceram por até dez metros a jusante do local de lavagem dos produtos. Nos experimentos em tanque, as alterações foram mais evidentes e uma análise de cluster confirmou a hipótese de que o processamento dos produtos agrícolas enfocados colaborou para alterar a hidrobiogeoquímica fluvial nos igarapés monitorados. O estudo recomenda algumas precauções no tocante às práticas de processamento dos produtos em foco e também a adoção de alguns parâmetros para o monitoramento desses impactos. / Cassava and caesar weed are among the mainly products of the familiar agriculture in the Northeast of the Pará State. To treat these products the small farmers used to sink amounts of cassava and caesar weed in small streams (regionally named as "igarapés"), to make peal softer and remove its toxic compounds, in the case of cassava, or to promote defibrating in the case of the caesar weed. The effects of these practices to the stream water quality are poor known. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the potential impacts of these practices to the fluvial hydrobiogeochemistry in the "igarapés" of these region. We adopted the strategy of collect stream water samples before the washing point of these products, in the washing point, and ten meters after this point. For a clearer understanding of the feasible alterations of the water chemistry due to cassava and caesar weed washing it was conducted besides the field monitoring a controlled input and output discharge tank experiment. In both approaches it was measured in the dissolved material the following hydrobiogeochemical: pH, electric conductivity, dissolved oxygen, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chloride, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, ammonium, as well as total nitrogen total and organic and inorganic carbon. Our results point out that these cassava and caesar weed washing processes contribute to alter the fluvial hydrobiogeochemistry of these small streams only locally. However, some of the observed local alterations remained along at least ten meters downstream the products washing points. In the tank experiments the alteration were observed clearer and a cluster analysis confirmed the hypotheses that these rude treatments of the studied agriculture products contributes to change the fluvial hydrogeochemistry of the monitored small streams. The study recommends some precautions regarding to the evaluated products treatments and also the adoption of some parameters measurements to monitor these impacts.

The study aims to identify the type of farmer producer of mauve, residents in the gutters of rivers, lakes and paranãs the Middle Rio Solimões (AM), rising socioeconomic factors that influence in its production. The data used in this study come from field surveys with the participation of producers and the municipalities of Manacapuru and Caapiranga, between 2009 and 2012. In the Amazon occurs mainly in the planting meadow ecosystem, characterized by four well-defined periods: the flood, the flood, the ebb and drought. So this is a considerable importance factor for the better development of the cycles which depend of it. The study aims therefore to research and collaborate with the improvement of the productive chain of mauve (U. lobata L.), contributing to the realization of this structural and organizational growth. When considering that the mauve´s planting is done by the mauve farmers which adopt the system of household production. In this sense, this research aims to contribute to enhancing the social, environmental and economic development of the productive chain in its conventional mode of culture / A presente pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos da inserção de uma nova tecnologia social na busca da mitigação da insalubridade do processo produtivo da cultura da malva (Urena lobata L.), além da agregação de valores socioeconômicos para os diversos agentes e de caracterizar a cadeia produtiva desta cultura nas comunidades pesquisadas. O trabalho se propõe a identificar a tipologia do agricultor produtor de malva, residentes nas calhas dos rios, lagos e paranãs do médio rio Solimões (AM), levantando fatores socioeconômicos que influenciem em sua cadeia produtiva. Os dados utilizados nesta pesquisa provêm de levantamentos de campo com a participação de produtores dos Municípios de Manacapuru e Caapiranga, entre os anos de 2009 a 2012. No Amazonas o plantio ocorre principalmente em ecossistema de várzea, caracterizado por quatro períodos bem definidos: a enchente, a cheia, a vazante e a seca. Sendo estes fatores de fundamental importância para o bom desenvolvimento do ciclo de cultivo da malva que dependem deles. O trabalho busca assim, pesquisar e colaborar com a melhoria da cadeia produtiva da malva (Urena lobata L.), contribuindo para a efetivação do incremento estrutural e organizacional desta. Sempre considerando que o plantio da malva é feito por malvicultores que adotam o sistema de produção familiar. Neste sentido esta pesquisa visa contribuir para o incremento do desenvolvimento social, ambiental e econômico desta cadeia produtiva em seu modo convencional de cultivo.
