Desempenho de novas cultivares de mirtileiro de baixa exigência em frio em região subtropical / Performance of low chill blueberry cultivars in subtropical region

Medina, Ricardo Bordignon 21 June 2016 (has links)
A grande procura por mirtilos, principalmente por países do Hemisfério Norte, está associada aos benefícios nutracêuticos do seu consumo em relação a prevenção de doenças. Em resposta à esta alta demanda, produtores de regiões e países que antes não cultivavam a fruta, iniciaram seus plantios nos últimos anos, sendo o clima, fator limitante à expansão de novas áreas uma vez que o mirtileiro, originário de regiões temperadas, necessita acumular alto número de horas de frio hibernal para completar seu desenvolvimento. No Brasil, predomina-se o plantio de mirtileiros nos estados da região sul, além de pequenas regiões de altitude no estado de São Paulo e Minas Gerais, utilizando cultivares tradicionais. A introdução de novos materiais genéticos, de baixa exigência em frio, desenvolvidos pela Universidade da Flórida possibilitou avaliar o desempenho das plantas e a qualidade dos frutos das cultivares Emerald e Jewel plantadas em Piracicaba - SP, sem ocorrência de frio hibernal. No período de maio de 2014 a maio de 2015 foi realizada a caracterização das fases de crescimento vegetativo, brotação, florescimento, frutificação e produção de frutos dessas cultivares. O crescimento dos ramos ocorre até o início da produção, interrompendo-se em seguida. A cultivar Emerald apresenta dois picos de florescimento e frutificação, com a colheita principal ocorrendo de agosto a outubro, enquanto a cultivar Jewel apresenta dois picos de emissão de botão floral, mas apenas um pico de florescimento e uma colheita que ocorre entre os meses de outubro e janeiro. A produção ocorre durante o período de entressafra do mercado interno e externo, que possibilita melhores preços da fruta. É possível obter-se produção das cultivares de mirtileiros Jewel e Emerald em região subtropical, mas a exigência de um número de horas de frio para estimular a emissão de botão floral e o florescimento parece ser mais baixa que a recomendada na literatura. Em agosto e outubro de 2015 também foram determinados para essas cultivares, parâmetros da qualidade físico-química dos frutos como massa fresca de frutos, diâmetro, comprimento, formato, volume, firmeza, coloração de casca, teor de sólidos solúveis totais, pH, acidez titulável, ratio, compostos fenólicos totais, teor de antocianinas, quercetina e atividade antioxidante pelo sequestro dos radicais DPPH e ABTS, que foram armazenados à temperatura ambiente (22 °C) avaliados no dia de colheita, e a cada três dias, até o décimo segundo dia. Frutos de mirtilos colhidos em agosto são maiores e mais arredondados, porém apresentam menor teor de sólidos solúveis totais e maior acidez. Por outro lado, os frutos colhidos em outubro apresentam maior ratio, e coloração mais intensa. \'Emerald\' possui frutos com maior atividade antioxidante que \'Jewel\'. Os teores de antocianinas, quercetinas, compostos fenólicos totais e atividade antioxidante diferem entre as cultivares de acordo com as épocas e aumentam ao longo dos dias após a colheita, enquanto pH, acidez e firmeza decrescem. / The high demand for blueberries, mainly by the Northern Hemisphere markets, is associated with their nutraceutical attributes and the health benefits of its consumption. In response to this high demand, countries that had never cultivated the fruit, started growing blueberries in recent years. The climate is a limiting factor to the expansion of new areas as these species are originated from temperate regions, an so, has a high chill requirement for a full development. In Brazil, blueberry cultivation of traditional areas are restricted to the southern states, and to small areas of altitude in São Paulo and Minas Gerais state, using traditional cultivars. The introduction of new genetic material, with low chill requirement, released by the University of Florida made possible to evaluate the performance of plants and fruit quality of Emerald and Jewel cultivars planted in Piracicaba - SP, without the occurrence of temperatures below 7.2 °C. From May 2014 to May 2015 vegetative growth, bud break, flowering, fruiting and fruit production of these cultivars were assessed. Branches grew until flowering period. Emerald cultivar has two peaks of flowering and fruiting, with the main harvest occurring from August to October, while \'Jewel\' has two bud break peaks, but only a peak of flowering and the harvest takes place between October and January. The production occurs during the off-season of the domestic and northern hemisphere markets, resulting in higher fruit prices. The results indicate that it is possible to cultivate blueberry cultivars Jewel and Emerald in subtropical regions because the chill requirement to induce bud and flowering break is much lower than it is cited in the literature. In August and October 2015 \'Jewel\' and \'Emerald\' were assessed for parameters of physical and chemical quality of the fruit. It were evaluated fresh fruit mass, diameter, length, shape, volume, firmness, peel color, soluble solids content (SST), pH, titratable acidity (AT), SST/AT ratio, total phenolic compounds, total anthocyanins content, total quercetins content and antioxidant activity using DPPH and ABTS methods on the harvest day, and every three days, until the twelfth day of the fruits harvested and stored at room temperature (22 °C). Fruits from August harvest have higher diameter and are more roundish, but have lower soluble solids content and higher titratable acidity. On the other hand, the fruits harvested in October have higher SST/TA ratio and higher chroma value. \'Emerald\' has higher antioxidant activity than \'Jewel\'. The content of anthocyanins, quercetins, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity differ with cultivars and harvest periods and increases during storage, while pH, acidity and firmness decrease.

Scale effects in determining snowmelt from mountainous basins using a distributed approach for snow water equivalence and radiation, and a point snowmelt model

Galarraga Sanchez, Remigio Hernan January 1995 (has links)
Rates of snowmelt distributed across Emerald Lake watershed, an alpine basin located in the Sierra Nevada, California, were estimated for water year 1987 using a point snowmelt model applied to regions that were classified based on distributed snow water equivalence and net solar radiation (NSR). A 5-m resolution digital elevation model (DEM) and a 5-m classified digital terrain model of snow water equivalence (SWE) were resampled to coarser resolutions (25-m, 30-m, 50-m, and 100-m) using the nearest neighbor approach. These images were used to define other snowmelt physical parameters and the initial state of the snowpack before melting. Topographic parameters calculated at 50-m and 100-m resolution exhibited significant differences in their histogram distribution as compared to the 5-m DEM. The most important were variations in slope, aspect, sky view factor, and terrain configuration factor, which influenced radiation calculations and the definition of distributed parameters for snowmelt calculations. Elevations, however, did not change significantly from one resolution to the other. The distribution of topographic parameters modeled at 25-m and 30-m, remained almost unchanged. Four, seven and ten classes of snow water equivalence and net solar radiation were combined using a band interleave process to determine the maximum number of combined classes. The point snowmelt model was then applied to these areas, which shared similar SWE and NSR characteristics, to obtain hourly melt rates. Modeled snowmelt rates were compared to the total daily discharge observed at the outlet of Emerald Lake watershed. There was good agreement for resolutions S-, 25-, 30-, and 50-m but not for the 100-m OEM, as modeled net solar radiation was too high and water was released from the basin too early. Model performance using three tests (Nash-Sutcliffe criteria, sum of squares of the deviations and the sum of the absolute differences between observed discharge and computed melting) showed that the 30-m resolution OEM with combined classes of 7 SWE and 7 NSR provided the best snowmelt performance for this distributed approach. Finally, fractional snow cover area at one month intervals were estimated, showing that this approach offers the potential to model spatially distributed snow covered area in alpine regions.
