Foram utilizados dados meteorológicos referentes aos anos de 2002, 2003, 2004 e 2005, os quais foram utilizados os modelos de previsão. Para o cancro cítrico desenvolvido por Campbell e Madden (1990) e Hau e Kranz (1990); podridão floral dos citros desenvolvido por Timmer e Zitko (1993) e Timmer e Brown (2000); pinta preta desenvolvido por Hau e Kranz (1990) e Bergamin Filho (1995. Após a contabilização dos índices, foram calculadas as porcentagens de dias favoráveis à ocorrência das doenças durante o ano e em períodos pré-definidos. A partir destas informações, foram gerados os mapas temáticos do Estado de São Paulo, com a distribuição espacial da porcentagem de dias favoráveis à ocorrência das doenças. A região Noroeste do Estado foi a que apresentou a maior porcentagem de dias favoráveis à ocorrência de cancro cítrico. As regiões Sul e Leste foram as que apresentaram maior favorabilidade de ocorrência da podridão floral do s citros. Para a pinta preta a região Sul com pontos no centro do Estado foi a que apresentou maior porcentagem de dias favoráveis a ocorrência da doença. / Abstract: The objective of the present work was to analyze the climatic conditions of the State of São Paulo and to develop maps of zones of risk of epidemics of citrus canker, postbloom fruit drop of citrus and citrus black spot. They had been used given meteorological referring to the years of 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, which had been used the forecast models. For the citrus canker developed by Campbell and Madden (1990) and Hau and Kranz (1990); postbloom fruit drop of citrus developed by Timmer and Zitko (1993) and Timmer and Brown (2000); it citrus black spot developed for Hau and Kranz (1990) and Bergamin Filho (1995). The frequency of the data was hourly and when some station presented imperfection in the series of data, these had been surpassed of the station next. After the accounting of the indices, had been calculated the percentages of days favorable to the occurrence of the diseases in the year and in the periods. From these information, the thematic maps of the State of São Paulo had been generated, with the space distribution of the percentage of days favorable to the occurrence of the diseases. The region the Northwest of the State was the one that presented the biggest percentage of days favorable to the occurrence of citrus canker. The regions South and East had been the ones that had presented greater favorable of occurrence of the postbloom fruit drop of citrus. For the citrus black spot the South region with points in the center of the State was the one that presented greater percentage of favorable days the occurrence of the diseases. / Mestre

Foram utilizados 36.000 peixes, da variedade Chitralada, sexualmente revertidos, onde avaliou-se diferentes densidades de estocagem (100, 200, 300 e 400 peixes m-3) e níveis protéicos da ração (28 e 32% PB), na fase de terminação (Fase 2), distribuídos em 24 tanques-rede, no reservatório da UHE de Chavantes, Rio Paranapanema SP/PR. Foram avaliadas duas produções de inverno, com médias de peso iniciais de 288,19 ± 64,21 g até atingirem peso comercial de 662,59 ± 102,73 g, nos meses de abril a julho de 2005 (103 dias) e de 2006 (95 dias). Os experimentos foram conduzidos em blocos inteiramente casualizados (fatorial) e seis repetições. Foram estimados os valores dos índices zootécnicos, ganho em peso diário (GPD), ganho em biomassa (GB), conversão alimentar aparente (CAA) e sobrevivência (S). Ocorreu efeito quadrático com diminuição dos valores do GPD e o crescente aumento do número de peixes adensados (p=0,0022). Os valores de GPD utilizando-se a ração com 32% PB foram significativamente superiores aos de 28% PB (p=0,0329). Houve interação entre os fatores densidade de estocagem e porcentagem de proteína na ração (p=0,0318) no índice de sobrevivência. Para os valores de CAA e GB não ocorreram interações entre as porcentagens de PB e densidade de estocagem (DE) (p=0,1157; 0,4058). Ocorreu efeito quadrático com os aumentos nos valores da CAA X DE (p=0,0210) e GB X DE (p=0,0002). Conclui-se que, os maiores valores de GPD mostraram que a ração de 32%PB e a densidade de 100 peixes m-3 são as mais indicadas foram as mais indicadas para essa fase de criação. / Abstract: The Nile Tilapia, O. niloticus, breeding in net cages has been growing faster, uses high stocking densities, depending on artificial diet and water renewal. There were allocated 36.000 fish of the Chitralada variety, sexually reverted, where stocking densities (100, 200, 300, and 400 m³) and food protein level (28 and 32% CP) were evaluated in (phase 2), distributed in 24 net cages, in the Chavantes HPS Reservoir, Paranapanema River, SP/PR. Two winter crops were evaluated, using fish with 288,19 ± 64,21g initial mean weight up to reaching market weight of 662,59 ± 102,73g, in months of April to July 2005 (103 days) and 2006 (95 days). The experiments were carried out in entirely randomized blocks (factorial) and six replicates. The following zootechnical indexes values were studied, daily weight gain (DWG), biomass gain (BG), food conversion rate (FCR) and survival (S). Was a quadratic effect with the decrease of the DWG values and the increasing augment on the added up fish number (p=0,0022). The DWG values, using 32% CP food were significantly superior to the DWG with 28% CP food (p=0,0329). There was interaction between the stocking density and food protein percentage (p= 00,318) in the survival index. For the values of parameter FCR and BG, there were no interactions between the protein percentage in the food and stocking density (SD) (p=0,1157; 0,4058). There was a quadratic effect with the increases in the FCR X SD values (p=0,0210) and BG X SD (p=0,0002). Concluded that, the higher DWG showed that the 32% CP foodstuff and the 100 fish m-3 was the most appropriate for this phase of rearing. / Doutor

Le colza (Brassica napus L.) est une plante de grande culture nécessitant de forts intrants azotés et présentant une faible Efficience d’Utilisation de l’Azote (EUA) principalement due à une faible efficience de remobilisation cet élément durant la sénescence foliaire. Actuellement, une amélioration du bilan agroenvironnemental de la culture du colza, nécessite la mise au point de nouvelles pratiques culturales permettant de maintenir (voire d’améliorer) son rendement tout en limitant les doses d’intrants azotés. Dans ce contexte, l’utilisation d’éléments bénéfiques tels que le silicium (Si) dont les effets ont déjà été démontrés dans la tolérance à certains stress nutritionnels (phosphore et potassium) constitue une alternative intéressante. Les objectifs de cette étude visent à étudier l’effet du Si (i) sur la progression de la sénescence foliaire, l’absorption et la remobilisation de l’azote et les performances agronomiques du colza cultivé en hydroponie ou en conditions de plein champ et soumis ou non à une limitation ou une privation en azote. Nos travaux montrent, qu’en dépit de son caractère faiblement accumulateur en Si, le colza absorbe le Si puis le stocke essentiellement au niveau racinaire. Par ailleurs, un apport de Si de courte durée (7 jours ; 1,7 mM) à des jeunes plantes privées en azote provoque un retard de sénescence des feuilles matures associé un maintien de leur teneur en chlorophylles et de leur activité photosynthétique. De plus, au champ, un apport de Si (12 kg ha-1) à des plantes cultivées avec 160 kg N ha-1 s’accompagne d’une augmentation du rendement grainier (+4,2 quintaux ha-1). L'utilisation de l’indice agronomique «Agronomic Nitrogen Recovery (ANR)» combinée à l’étude de l’expression de gènes codant des transporteurs d’azote (BnaNRT1.1, BnaNRT2.1, BnaAMT1.1) montrent que le Si agit notamment en stimulant l’absorption de l’azote chez le colza. Enfin, une analyse différentielle par RNAseq des transcriptomes racinaires de jeunes plantes traitées ou non avec du Si pendant une courte durée (7 jours ; 1,7 mM), montre que le Si module l’expression de 1079 gènes, 334 étant induits et 745 réprimés. Ce résultat indique qu’en plus de son rôle mécanique, le Si exerce également un rôle signalétique. / Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is a crop that requires high nitrogen inputs and has a low Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency (NUE) mainly due to a low remobilization efficiency during leaf senescence. Currently, an improvement of the agro-environmental balance of rapeseed, requires the development of new cultural practices to maintain (or even improve) its yield in response to low nitrogen inputs. In this context, the use of beneficial element such as silicon (Si) with previously demonstrated effects on tolerance to some nutritional stress (phosphorus and potassium), constitutes an interesting alternative. The objectives of this study are to investigate the effect of Si on the progression of leaf senescence, nitrogen uptake and remobilization but also on agronomic performances of rapeseed grown in hydroponics or in field conditions and submitted or not to a limitation or deprivation of nitrogen inputs. Our work shows that despite being considered as a low Si accumulator, rapeseed takes up and stores Si mainly in its roots. In addition, a Si supply for a short time (7 days; 1.7 mM) to young plants deprived of nitrogen leads to a delay of senescence of mature leaves associated with a maintenance of their chlorophyll content and their photosynthetic activity. In addition, in field conditions, a supply of Si (12 kg ha-1) to plants grown with 160 kg N ha-1 leads to an increase of yield (+4.2 quintals ha-1). Furthermore, calculation of the "Agronomic Nitrogen Recovery (ANR)" combined with the expression of genes encoding nitrogen transporters (BnaNRT1.1, BnaNRT2.1, and BnaAMT1.1) shows that Si increases the nitrogen uptake. Finally, a differential analysis by RNAseq of roots transcriptomes from young plants treated or not with Si for a short time (7 days; 1.7 mM), shows that Si modulates the expression of 1079 genes, 334 being induced and 745 repressed. This result indicates that in addition to its mechanical role, Si acts also a signal, a role very poorly demonstrated in the literature.
