O mesmo observa-se para os mÃtodos de obtenÃÃo dos valores da DPP onde o mÃtodo do quadrado superestimou o mÃtodo do transceto, mas apresentando valores dentro da realidade da forrageira e do mÃtodo de pastejo utilizado, podendo perfeitamente ser empregado, facilitando a obtenÃÃo dos valores dessa variÃvel. Valores da TPF e da TAF estimados pelo mÃtodo agronÃmico superestimaram os valores obtidos pelo mÃtodo morfogÃnico. / The research was carried through with the objective of evalua ting the growth and morphophysiological characteristics in canopy of Tanzania grasses under intermittent grazing with three defoliation frequencies and two post-grazing residues. The research was driven in the advanced field of the Nucleu s of Teaching and Study in Forragicultura- NEEF/DZ/CCA/UFC, located in Experi mental Farme it is Worth of CurÃ- FEVC/CCA/UFC, in Pentecoste/CE. The method of used grazing was it of intermittent grazing with tax of variable capacity with peri od of pastejo of four days.

Such variables were certain through the An alisador PAR/LAI in Agricultura DECAGON PAR-80 (DECAGON Devices, Inc ., Pullman, Washington-use s). The interval among pastejo went larger for PD 97% IRFA (34 days) and for IAFr 1.0 (28.2 days). The curve of evolution of IRFA came asymptot ic in relation to age of re growth of the grass, being stabilized at the level of 95% interception PA R. Already the curve of evolution of IAF was growing, even after reaching critical IAF. Ther e was effect of IRFA, of IAFr (P<0.05) and of the interaction IRFA x IAFr (P<0.15) on TAlF1/TAlF2. Para TAlF was noticed effect of IRFA and of IAFr (P<0.05), a nd smallest interception (85% IRFA) and largest IAFr (1.8) they were the ones that obtaine d larger TAlF. TAlH suffered e ffect just of IRFA (P<0.05). There was effect of IRFA and of IAFr (P<0.05) on TST, and most lingering IRFA (1.20 cm/perxdia) and IAFr 1.0 (0.96 cm/perxdia) that had largest TST. The interception of 85% (0.12 leaf/days), as well as IAFr 1.8 (0.11 l eaf/days) they obtaine d the largest values of TApF.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / A pesquisa foi conduzida no campo avanÃado do NÃcleo de Ensinos e Estudos em Forragicultura-NEEF/DZ/CCA/UFC (www.neef.ufc.br), localizado na fazenda experimental Vale do Curu â FEVC/CCA/UFC, em Pentecoste/CE. Objetivou-se avaliar a composiÃÃo quÃmico-bromatolÃgica e digestibilidade da dieta consumida e o desempenho produtivo de ovinos pastejando em Panicum maximum cv. tanzÃnia sob trÃs freqÃÃncias de desfolhaÃÃo determinadas pela interceptaÃÃo da radiaÃÃo fotossintÃticamente ativa (IRFA) de 85, 95 e 97% e dois resÃduos pÃs-pastejo, determinados pelos Ãndices de Ãrea foliar (IAF) residuais de 1,0 e 1,8. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com arranjo fatorial 3x2 (trÃs freqÃÃncias de desfolhaÃÃo e dois resÃduos pÃs pastejo), com quatro repetiÃÃes para as variÃveis do pasto (piquetes) e seis para as variÃveis relacionadas aos animais (ovinos). Foram utilizados 90 ovinos sem padrÃo racial definido (SPRD), com peso vivo mÃdio inicial de 20,0 kg. Em cada tratamento foram utilizados 6 ovinos, resultando em 36 animais de prova. Os demais ovinos foram utilizados como animais de equilÃbrio, quando necessÃrio para rebaixar o pasto para o IAF residual preconizado para aquele tratamento, ao final do 4Â dia de pastejo. Para determinaÃÃo da composiÃÃo quÃmico-bromatolÃgica, digestibilidade e ensaio de cinÃtica de degradaÃÃo da matÃria seca da dieta, foi realizada uma simulaÃÃo de pastejo no 1Â e 4Â dia de ocupaÃÃo. Foi avaliado ainda o ensaio de desempenho animal, alÃm da determinaÃÃo da capacidade de suporte em cada sistema sob lotaÃÃo rotativa. A diminuiÃÃo da freqÃÃncia de desfolhaÃÃo reduziu o valor nutritivo do capim-tanzÃnia e o desempenho dos ovinos. Maior rendimento de peso vivo animal por Ãrea ao longo do ano foi obtido na freqÃÃncia de desfolhaÃÃo de 85% nos dois resÃduos pÃs-pastejo e na freqÃÃncia de desfolhaÃÃo intermediÃria, apenas no Ãndice de Ãrea foliar residual de 1,0. Portanto, recomenda-se adotar uma freqÃÃncia de esfolhaÃÃo no ix capim-tanzÃnia menor ou igual a 95% de interceptaÃÃo da radiaÃÃo fotossinteticamente ativa, com um IAF residual de 1,0, a fim de compatibilizar os objetivos de produÃÃo animal e manutenÃÃo da qualidade do pasto no longo prazo. / The research was carried out at the advanced field of the Forage Teaching and Research Nucleus - NEEF/DZ/CCA/UFC (www.neef.ufc.br), located at Curu Valley Experimental Farm - FEVC/CCA/UFC, in Pentecoste/CE. The aim of this research was to evaluate the nutritional value of the simulated diet and the productive performance of sheep grazing in Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania under three defoliation frequencies, determined by the interception of the photosynthetically active radiation in canopy (PAR) of 85, 95 and 97 % and two post-grazing residues, determined by the residual leaf area index (LAI) of 1.0 and 1.8. A completely randomized design in factorial arrangement 3x2 (three defoliation frequencies and two residues after graze), with four repetitions for the variable of the grass (poles) and around the six (sheep) for the variable related to the animals, having still cycles of graze as measured repeated in the time. 90 sheep without defined breeding standard had been used (SPRD), averaging an initial live weight of 20.0 kg were used. 6 sheep were allocated to each treatment, resulting in 36 tester sheep. The others 44 sheep were used as put-and-taken animal, to keep the canopy as established by the end of the grazing period. For determination of the chemical composition assay, digestibility and an in situ dry matter degradation trial, a simulation of grazing in 1st and 4th days was carried out. An animal performance assay was conducted, beyond the determination of the carrying capacity in each grazing system. The defoliation frequency reduction diminished the diet nutritional value and the sheep performance. The highest animal live weight productivity toward the year was obtained in the 85% defoliation frequency on both post-grazing residues and at the intermediate defoliation frequency only at the residual leaf area index of 1.0. So, one xi recommends to adopt a defoliation frequency of tanzania grass up to 95% of photosynthetically active radiation interception, with a residual LAI of 1.0 to obtain a compromise between the objectives of animal production and forage quality maintenance in the long term.

The studies were carried out at the Experimental Campus of the Rio de Janeiro Federal Rural University, Serop?dica-RJ, in area of Planosol Haplic occurrence, during the period of October 2006 to July 2007. Treatments consisted of five doses of N (0; 150; 300; 450 and 600 kg N-urea/ha) disposed in experimental units of 4 x 4 m using a entirely randomized block design. After a standardization cut, made 82 days after planting, it proceeded to the application of nitrogen fertilizer levels, half of which at 94 days, and the remaining at 139 days after the planting. Four studies had been carried through, which the results are presented in distinct chapters. In the first chapter the results of nitrogen fertilization were discussed in terms of soil covering, leaf area index (LAI) and solar radiation interception, during the four sequential cuts, between the months of February and July of 2007. Weekly evaluations were accomplished, between 10 and 40 days after cut. The LAI frequency of occurrence, plant height, green cover index and level of photosynthetically active radiation intercepted showed significant responses to N fertilization, according to a logistic pattern and also varied seasonally within each cut, evidencing different sensibility as indicators for structure and growth of the Tifton 85 sward. In the second study were evaluated the effect of N fertilization on biomass production and the efficiency in the use of N absorbed. For statistical analysis purposes, sampling data were clustered in two seasons: rainy season (February to April) and dry season (April to July). It was quantified in each cut date the production of green and dry mass, leaves and stem fraction, as well as the N content in each one of the vegetative fractions. This study showed that N fertilization icreased the dry matter production and stimulated the production of leaves and stems in both the seasons (rainy and dry). However, the nitrogen fertilization, per se, does not modify the partition of the dry mass produced by leaves and stems, and had no influence on efficiency of the pasture to produce dry matter per unit of N absorbed. The third study, of methodological character, aimed the validation of indirect procedures for estimate the functional relation between the green and dry mass and the LAI. The occurrence frequency and the index of green covering were tested as substitutes of IAF using simple correlation procedure. Although in this study has been observed the existence of a significant association among the the canopy attributes estimates associated to the leaf area and the forage production leaf area and forage production, additional studies are necessary to improve the reliability and accuracy of this estimates. Finally, in the last study, the influence of the nitrogen fertilization on nutritional value of the forage was evaluated. The crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, lignin, cellulose and hemicelulose cotents were determined. The results showed that the addition of N improved the forage quality, increasing crude protein contents and decreasing fibrous fraction. / Foram avaliados os efeitos da aplica??o de nitrog?nio (N) sobre uma s?rie de atributos estruturais e nutricionais do dossel. Os estudos foram desenvolvidos no campo experimental da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, munic?pio de Serop?dica- RJ, em ?rea de ocorr?ncia de Planossolo. O experimento foi conduzido sob regime de cortes, durante o per?odo de outubro de 2006 a julho de 2007. Foram estudadas cinco doses de N (0; 150; 300; 450 e 600 kg/ha) em diferentes ?pocas do ano. O experimento foi conduzido em blocos inteiramente casualizados. Foram feitos quatro estudos, cujos resultados s?o apresentados em cap?tulos distintos. No primeiro cap?tulo, os efeitos da aduba??o nitrogenada s?o discutidos em termos de cobertura do solo, ?ndice de ?rea foliar e intercepta??o da radia??o solar, no curso de quatro cortes seq?enciais, entre os meses de fevereiro e julho. As avalia??es foram realizadas, semanalmente, entre o 10o e o 40o dia ap?s o corte. Em cada corte, o ?ndice de ?rea foliar (IAF), a freq??ncia de ocorr?ncia, altura de planta, ?ndice de cobertura verde e o n?vel de radia??o fotossinteticamente ativa interceptada, responderam ? aduba??o nitrogenada, conforme um padr?o log?stico e variaram sazonalmente, evidenciando uma sensibilidade diversa como indicadores da estrutura e do crescimento da pastagem de Tifton 85. No segundo estudo foram abordadas as respostas relativas ? produ??o de biomassa sob aduba??o nitrogenada e a efici?ncia na utiliza??o do N absorvido. Para efeito de an?lise estat?stica, os dados das coletas foram agrupados em ?poca das chuvas (fevereiro a abril) e ?poca seca (abril a julho). Em cada data de corte foi quantificada a produ??o de massa verde e seca, a sua parti??o entre folhas e colmos + bainhas, assim como o teor de N em cada uma das partes vegetativas. Este estudo evidenciou que a aduba??o nitrogenada aumentou a produ??o de forragem, estimulando a produ??o de folhas e colmos tanto na ?poca chuvosa quanto na seca. Por outro lado, a aduba??o nitrogenada, per se, n?o modificou a parti??o da massa seca produzida por folhas e colmos, nem influenciou a efici?ncia com a qual a pastagem produz massa seca por unidade de nitrog?nio absorvido. O terceiro estudo, de cunho metodol?gico, objetivou a valida??o de procedimentos indiretos para a estimativa da rela??o funcional entre a massa verde e seca e o ?ndice de ?rea foliar da pastagem. Foram estudados a freq??ncia de ocorr?ncia e o ?ndice de cobertura verde como suced?neos do IAF, utilizando-se correla??o simples. Embora tenha sido observada a exist?ncia de um grau de associa??o significativo entre as estimativas de atributos ligados ? ?rea foliar e a produ??o de forragem, s?o necess?rios estudos adicionais para melhorar a confiabilidade e a acur?cia de tais estimativas. No quarto estudo foi estudada a influencia da aduba??o nitrogenada sobre o valor nutricional da forragem, sendo avaliados os teores de prote?na bruta, fibra em detergente neutro, fibra em detergente ?cido, lignina, celulose e hemicelulose. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a adi??o de N melhorou a qualidade da forragem, aumentando os teores de prote?na bruta e reduzindo a fra??o fibrosa.

ISBA-A-gs est une option du modèle de surface continentale du CNRM, ISBA, qui simule les échanges de carbone entre la biosphère terrestre et l'atmosphère. Au cours de cette thèse, le modèle est utilisé pour la première fois à l'échelle globale en mode forcé. Plusieurs simulations globales sont réalisées pour évaluer la sensibilité des flux turbulents et du LAI à un doublement de CO2 et au changement climatique prévu pour la fin du XXIe siècle.<br />Une nouvelle option du modèle, nommée ISBA-CC, est aussi développée afin de simuler de manière plus réaliste la respiration de l'écosystème, en distinguant la respiration autotrophe et la respiration hétérotrophe.<br />La validation de la dynamique de la végétation et des flux de carbone échangés, à la fois à l'échelle globale à l'aide de données satellitaires, et à l'échelle locale sur 26 sites de mesure du réseau FLUXNET, montre que le modèle de surface est suffisamment réaliste pour être couplé à un modèle de circulation générale, afin de simuler les interactions entre la surface continentale, l'atmosphère et le cycle du carbone.

Monitoring biophysical variables at a global scale over long time periods is vital to address the climatechange and food security challenges. Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a structure variable giving a measure of the canopysurface for radiation interception and canopy-atmosphere interactions. LAI is an important variable in manyecosystem models and it has been recognized as an Essential Climate Variable. This thesis aims to provide globaland continuous estimates of LAI from satellite observations in near-real time according to user requirements to beused for diagnostic and prognostic evaluations of vegetation state and functioning. There are already someavailable LAI products which show however some important discrepancies in terms of magnitude and somelimitations in terms of continuity and consistency. This thesis addresses these important issues. First, the nature ofthe LAI estimated from these satellite observations was investigated to address the existing differences in thedefinition of products. Then, different temporal smoothing and gap filling methods were analyzed to reduce noiseand discontinuities in the time series mainly due to cloud cover. Finally, different methods for near real timeestimation of LAI were evaluated. Such comparison assessment as a function of the level of noise and gaps werelacking for LAI.Results achieved within the first part of the thesis show that the effective LAI is more accurately retrievedfrom satellite data than the actual LAI due to leaf clumping in the canopies. Further, the study has demonstratedthat multi-view observations provide only marginal improvements on LAI retrieval. The study also found that foroptimal retrievals the size of the uncertainty envelope over a set of possible solutions to be approximately equal tothat in the reflectance measurements. The results achieved in the second part of the thesis found the method withlocally adaptive temporal window, depending on amount of available observations and Climatology as backgroundestimation to be more robust to noise and missing data for smoothing, gap-filling and near real time estimationswith satellite time series.

Thesis (MscFor)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of mid rotation fertilizer application on leaf area index (LAI), basal area and volume increment in thinned Pinus radiata stands on the most common soils of the Boland region in the Western Cape. The study was conducted on a range of sites in the Boland region of MTO Forestry Company, chosen to reflect the two most common soil types and a water availability gradient in each soil type. A factorial combination of fertilizer treatments with three levels each for nitrogen (N) at 0, 100 and 200 kg ha-1 and phosphorus (P) at 0, 50 and 100 kg ha- 1 was used. This design was replicated four times across a gradient of water availability for each of the two common soil groups, forming a complete trial series. All replications were laid out in P. radiata stands that had received their mid-rotation thinning prior to treatment implementation. LAI, diameter at breast height and height measurements as well as foliar analysis were determined before the implementation of the study in 2008 and then subsequently at predetermined intervals in 2009 and 2010. Leaf area index and stem volume increment were measured in order to evaluate the influence on growth efficiency. LAI was estimated using the gap fraction method with the use of a ceptometer. Volume increment was calculated using diameter and height measurements and basal area was calculated by means of diameter measurements. The abovementioned growth responses were then used to determine the effect of increased nutrient availability on stand growth. There were no significant interactions detected between any of the factors, N, P and water availability class in their effect on LAI, basal area, volume increment and growth efficiency. LAI increment responded significantly to N and P in the first year but only to P in the second year after treatment. Significant basal area responses to N and P were recorded in the second but not the first year. This might have been due to the fact that trees had to re-build their canopies after thinning before a basal area response could be obtained. For the variables where an analysis of total growth response over the two year period was done, basal area increment and volume increment significantly responded to the application of nitrogen but not to phosphorus. Growth efficiency was not significantly influenced by either nitrogen or phosphorus over the full two year monitoring period. Water availability class consistently and significantly influenced basal area increment, volume increment and growth efficiency over the two year period as well as during year one and year two. The best responses generally occurred as a result of the additive effects of N and P. The growth response did not remain the same across the water availability classes. The wetter sites tended to have greater responses than the drier sites. Although these are still early results, the growth responses could be attributed to an increase in LAI. Nutrient analysis through vector analysis indicated that the additional N and P from fertilizer application were taken up by the trees thereby resulting in greater LAI and increased stem wood production. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie het ten doel gestel om die effek van mid-rotasie bemesting op blaar oppervlak indeks (BOI), basale oppervlakte- en volume aanwas te ondersoek in gedunde opstande van Pinus radiata op die mees algemene grondtipes van die Bolandstreek, Wes-Kaapland. Eksperimente is uitgelê oor 'n reeks van groeiplekke in die Bolandstreek wat gekies is om 'n water beskibaarheidsgradient te verteenwoordig oor elk van die twee mees algemene grondtipes. 'n Faktoriaal-kombinasie van kunsmisbehandelings met drie vlakke elk van stikstof [(N) teen 0, 100 en 200 kg ha-1] en fosfor [(P) teen 0, 50 en 100 kg ha-1] is toegedien. Hierdie ontwerp is vier maal herhaal oor 'n gradient van grondwater beskikbaarheid, oor elk van die twee mees algemene grondtipes, om sodoende 'n volledige eksperimentele reeks te vorm. Elke herhaling is uitgelê in 'n P. radiata opstand wat reeds 'n mid-rotasie dunning ondergaan het voor implementering van die kunsmis behandelings. Metings van BOI, deursnee op borshoogte, boomhoogte asook blaarmonsters is geneem voor implementering in 2008 en daarna met vooraf bepaalde tussenposes in 2009 en 2010. Die BOI en stam volume aanwas is bepaal om die effek van behandelings op groeieffektiwiteit te evalueer. Die gaping fraksie tegniek is gebruik om BOI te skat met behulp van 'n sonvlek septometer. Volume aanwas is bereken vanaf deursnee en hoogtemetings en basale oppervlak aanwas vanaf deursnee-metings. Metings van al bogenoemde groeireaksies is gebruik om die effek van verhoogde voedingstof beskikbaarheid op opstandsgroei te evalueer. Daar was geen betekenisvolle interaksies tussen enige van die faktore N, P of water beskikbaarheidsklas met betrekking tot reaksies op BOI, basale oppervlak- en volume aanwas of groei-effektiwiteit nie. Die BOI het betekenisvol gereageer op N en P in die eerste jaar, maar slegs op P in die tweede jaar na behandeling. Basale oppervlakte aanwas is betekenisvol verbeter deur N en P in die tweede jaar maar nie in die eerste jaar nie. Dit is waarskynlik as gevolg van die feit dat opstande eers hul kroondak moes herstel (na dunnings) voordat 'n reaksie in basale oppervlak verkry kon word. Vir die veranderlikes waar 'n analise van die groeireaksie oor die volle twee jaar moniteringsperiode gedoen is, het basale oppervlak- en volume aanwas betekenisvol gereageer op stikstof maar nie op fosfor nie. Groei-effektiwiteit is nie betekenisvol geaffekteer deur N of P oor die volle twee jaar moniteringsperiode nie. Water beskikbaarheidsklas het basale oppervlak en volume aanwas asook groei-effektiwiteit betekenisvol en voortdurend beïnvloed in die eerste en tweede jaar, asook gedurende die volle twee jaar moniteringsperiode. Die beste groeireaksie is oor die algemeen verkry waar N en P gesamentlik toegedien is en waar dus aanvullende reaksies verkry is. Groeireaksies het betekenisvol verskil na gelang van water beskikbaarheidsklas, met die grootste reaksie op die natste groeiplekke. Hoewel hierdie vroeë resultate is, kan ons die meganisme van die reaksie primêr toeskryf aan 'n toename in BOI. Vektor analise van blaar voedingstof vlakke het aangedui dat addisionele N en P na kunsmis toediening opgeneem is, wat die weg gebaan het vir 'n toename in BOI en verhoogde volume aanwas.

The split plot was it entirely randomizer in a factorial arrangemen t 3 x 2 being, three defoliation frequencies of the pasture established in f unction of the necessary time fo r the restoration of an area index to foliate that it intercepts 85; 95 a nd 97% of the photosyntheti cally active radiation (PAR) and two residues powder grazing, constitu ted of two residual IAF's, 1.0 and 1.8. Such variables were certain through the An alisador PAR/LAI in Agricultura DECAGON PAR-80 (DECAGON Devices, Inc ., Pullman, Washington-use s). The interval among pastejo went larger for PD 97% IRFA (34 days) and for IAFr 1.0 (28.2 days). The curve of evolution of IRFA came asymptot ic in relation to age of re growth of the grass, being stabilized at the level of 95% interception PA R. Already the curve of evolution of IAF was growing, even after reaching critical IAF. Ther e was effect of IRFA, of IAFr (P<0.05) and of the interaction IRFA x IAFr (P<0.15) on TAlF1/TAlF2. Para TAlF was noticed effect of IRFA and of IAFr (P<0.05), a nd smallest interception (85% IRFA) and largest IAFr (1.8) they were the ones that obtaine d larger TAlF. TAlH suffered e ffect just of IRFA (P<0.05). There was effect of IRFA and of IAFr (P<0.05) on TST, and most lingering IRFA (1.20 cm/perxdia) and IAFr 1.0 (0.96 cm/perxdia) that had largest TST. The interception of 85% (0.12 leaf/days), as well as IAFr 1.8 (0.11 l eaf/days) they obtaine d the largest values of TApF. Phylochron suffered e ffect of IRFA (P<0.05) and of the interaction IRFA x IAFr (P<0.15) with 11.05 days/leaf for 95% IRFA an d the interaction happening for 85% IRFA. There was effect just of IRFA (P<0.05) for TAF. There was e ffect of IRFA (P <0.05) on IAF. The height suffered so much effect of IRFA, as of IAFr (P<0.05). MSFT and MSFV suffered effect just of IRFA (P<0.05). MSFM suff ered effect just of the interac tion IRFA x IAFr (P<0.15), happening for 85% IRFA. There was effect of the interaction IRFA x IAFr about the relationship MV/MM (P<0.15). There was effect just of IRFA (P<0.05) on MSLV and MSCV. There was effect of IAFr (P<0.05) about the relationship Leaf/stem. / A pesquisa foi realizada com o objetivo de avaliar o crescimento e as características morfofisiológicas do dossel de Panicum maximum cv. Tanzânia sob lotação rotativa com três períodos de descanso e dois resíduos pós-pastejo. A pesquisa foi conduzida no campo avançado do Núcleo de Ensino e Estudo em Forragicultura-NEEF/DZ/CCA/UFC, localizado na Fazenda Experimental Vale do Curú-FEVC/CCA/UFC, em Pentecoste/CE. O método de pastejo utilizado foi o de lotação rotativa com taxa de lotação variável com período de pastejo de quatro dias. O delineamento foi o inteiramente casualizado em um arranjo fatorial 3 x 2 sendo, três períodos de descanso do pasto estabelecidos em função do tempo necessário para a restauração de um índice de área foliar que intercepte 85; 95 e 97% da radiação fotossinteticamente ativa (RFA) e dois resíduos pós-pastejo, constituídos de dois IAF’s residuais, 1,0 e 1,8. Tais variáveis foram determinadas por meio do Analisador PAR/LAI em Agricultura DECAGON PAR-80 (DECAGON Devices, Inc., Pullman, Washington-USA). O intervalo entre pastejo foi maior para PD 97% IRFA (34 dias) e para o IAFr 1,0 (28,2 dias). A curva de evolução da IRFA apresentou-se assintótica em relação a idade de rebrotação do capim, estabilizando-se ao nível de 95% IRFA. Já a curva de evolução do IAF foi crescente, mesmo após atingir o IAF crítico. Houve efeito da IRFA, do IAFr (P<0,05) e da interação IRFA x IAFr (P<0,15) sobre a TAlF1/TAlF2. Para a TAlF observou-se efeito da IRFA e do IAFr (P<0,05), sendo que a menor interceptação (85% IRFA) e o maior IAFr (1,8) foram os que obtiveram maiores TAlF. A TAlH sofreu efeito apenas do PD (P<0,05). Houve efeito da IRFA e do IAFr (P<0,05) sobre TST, sendo que a maior interceptação (1,20 cm/perxdia) e o IAFr 1,0 (0,96 cm/perxdia) que tiveram a maior TST. A percentagem de 85% IRFA (0,12 folha/dia), assim como o IAFr 1,8 (0,11 folha/dia) obtiveram os maiores valores de TApF. O Filocrono sofreu efeito da IRFA (P<0,05) e da interação IRFA x IAFr (P<0,15) com 11,05 dias/folha para 95% IRFA e a interação ocorrendo para 85% IRFA. Para TAF houve efeito apenas da IRFA (P<0,05). Houve efeito da IRFA (P<0,05) sobre o IAF. A Altura sofreu efeito tanto da IRFA quanto do IAFr (P<0,05). A MSFT e a MSFV sofreram efeito apenas da IRFA (P<0,05). A MSFM sofreu efeito apenas da interação IRFA x IAFr (P<0,15), ocorrendo na interceptação de 85%. Houve efeito da interação IRFA x IAFr sobre a relação MV/MM (P<0,15). Houve efeito apenas do IRFA (P<0,05) sobre a MSLV e MSCV. Houve efeito do IAFr (P<0,05) sobre a relação Folha/colmo. A DPP sofreu efeito da IRFA, dos IAFrs (P<0,05) e da interação IRFA x IAFr (P<0,15). Houve efeito apenas da IRFA (P<0,05) sobre o número de Folhas/perfilho. No que tange as variáveis estruturais pós pastejo observou-se um efeito do IAFr (P<0,05) sobre a IRFA. A Altura residual sofreu apenas efeito do IAFr (P<0,05). A MSFT e a MSFM sofreram efeito da IRFA, dos IAFrs (P<0,05) e da interação IRFA x IAFr (P<0,15). A MSFV e a MSLV sofreram efeito dos IAFrs (P<0,05). Houve interação entre o IRFA x IAFr (P<0,15) para a relação MV/MM. Houve efeito da IRFA e IAFrs (P<0,05) sobre a MSCV. Houve efeito da IRFA (P<0,05) sobre a relação Folha/colmo. A DPP apresentou efeito da IRFA, dos IAFrs (P<0,05) e da interação IRFA x IAFr (P<0,15). O número de Folhas/perfilho estimado pelo método morfogênico subestimou os valores obtidos pelo método visual de campo, mas sendo que apresentou valores confiáveis e na mesma tendência do número de Folhas/perfilho obtida pelo método visual. O mesmo observa-se para os métodos de obtenção dos valores da DPP onde o método do quadrado superestimou o método do transceto, mas apresentando valores dentro da realidade da forrageira e do método de pastejo utilizado, podendo perfeitamente ser empregado, facilitando a obtenção dos valores dessa variável. Valores da TPF e da TAF estimados pelo método agronômico superestimaram os valores obtidos pelo método morfogênico.

Em condições tropicais o N pode se tornar um problema ambiental e financeiro devido à sua baixa eficiência de uso pelas plantas, principalmente como resultado de perdas por volatilização e/ou lixiviação. Portanto, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar fontes e doses de N no crescimento e produção de matéria seca do Tifton 85, bem como mudanças nas frações do carbono (C) no solo. Um experimento foi conduzido de 2012 a 2014, e constituiu de um fatorial em um delineamento de blocos ao acaso, onde os tratamentos foram a associação de duas fontes de N (nitrato de amônio [NA] e ureia), e cinco doses do nutriente (0, 60, 120, 180 e 240 kg ha-1 N por corte) aplicadas a cada 30 dias. Neste experimento foram utilizados NA e ureia enriquecidos com 15N como uma ferramenta para quantificar a recuperação do N advindo do fertilizante, nas plantas e no sistema solo-planta. As plantas foram cortadas para avaliar a produção de matéria seca, concentração de N na parte aérea e recuperação. O índice de área foliar (LAI), radiação fotossinteticamente ativa interceptada (PARi) e índice de clorofila (CI) foram mensurados no dia anterior ao corte. As amostras de solo foram coletadas nas parcelas que receberam NA e foram fracionadas em carbono orgânico particulado (POC), fração leve livre (FLF) e fração mineral (C-min); O teor de C nas frações foi quantificado. Os resultados demonstraram que o NA pode ser uma fonte mais eficiente somente quando a quantidade de precipitação é insuficiente para incorporar o fertilizante ao solo, resultando em maior produção de forragem, na somatória dos dois anos ambas as fontes produziram a mesma quantidade de matéria seca onde a maior produtividade 37,2 Mg ha-1, foi atingida com a dose de 210 kg ha-1 N por corte. Por outro lado, a quantidade de N recuperado pelo sistema de planta+solo foi maior quando a ureia foi utilizada, com destaque para a quantidade de N no solo, onde a ureia foi capaz de manter 10% mais N que o NA, a recuperação do nutriente diminuiu à medida que as doses foram elevadas. Nenhuma alteração no conteúdo de C foi notada devido às diferentes doses de N utilizadas, no entanto o POC e o C-min foram mais sensíveis às mudanças na camada de 0-0,1 m do que na camada de 0,1-0,2 m. / Cynodon hybrids are known by their ability to respond to high rates of nitrogen (N). In tropical conditions, N may become an environmental and financial issue due to its low efficiency of use by plants, mainly as a result of losses by volatilization and/or leaching. Therefore, the aims with this work were to evaluate N sources and rates on growth and dry matter yield of Tifton 85 and to determine changes in soil carbon (C) fractions in response to N fertilization. The 2-yr field experiment was conducted from 2012 to 2014, and consisted of a factorial design. Treatments were a combination of two sources of N (ammonium nitrate [AN] and urea) and five rates of the nutrient (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg ha-1 N per cut) applied broadcast every 30 days. This study used AN and urea enriched with 15N as a tool to quantify the recovery of N derived from fertilizer in plants and the soil-plant system. Forage was cut at 30-d intervals for dry matter yield, shoot N concentration determinations and N recovery. The leaf area index (LAI), photosynthetic active radiation intercepted (PARi) and chlorophyll index (CI) were evaluated on the day before clipping. Soil samples were collected in plots receiving AN and they were fractionated in to particulate organic carbon (POC), free light fraction (FLF) and mineral fraction (C-min); The C concentration of the various fractions was determined. Results showed that AN was a more efficient source only when the amount of precipitation is insufficient to incorporate the fertilizer to the soil, resulting in increased production, in the sum of the two years both sources produced the same amount of dry matter in which the highest productivity, 37.2 t ha-1 , was achieved at the rate of 210 kg ha-1 N per cutting. On the other hand, the amount of N recovered by the plant+soil system was higher when urea was used, especially the amount of N in the soil, where urea was able to maintain 10% more N than AN, the nutrient recovery decreased as the rates were increased. No change in soil C concentration was detected in response to the different N rates used, however the POC and the C-min were more sensitive to changes in the layer of 0-0.1 m than the layer from 0.1-0.2 m.

O experimento foi conduzido no período de fevereiro/2008 a agosto/2008. A área foi subdividida em 18 piquetes de 243 m2 para o estudo de 3 tratamentos dispostos segundo um delineamento em blocos casualizados com 6 repetições para avaliações referentes à gramínea. As avaliações referentes ao comportamento ingestivo das cabras foram realizadas, na mesma área, em 12 piquetes, alocados em blocos casualizados, com 4 repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram em 3 IAF residuais (0,8 – 1,6 – 2,4). O período de descanso foi adotado segundo o critério de 95% de IL ou quando as leituras permanecerem constantes durante 3 semanas consecutivas. Antes do pastejo foi feito a medição da altura da vegetação em 20 pontos distintos e colheu-se 6 amostras ao nível do solo por piquete. Os animais pastejaram até atingir o IAF pré-determinado para o resíduo. Foi aferido o índice de área foliar (IAF) e da interceptação luminosa (IL) com o aparelho analisador de dossel (AccuPAR LP-80 da Decagon – USA). As amostras colhidas foram pesadas e, por conseguinte, retirada um alíquota de 400 g para a separação dos componentes morfológicos (folha, colmo + bainha e material morto), estes foram secados em estufa (55 ºC) por 72h e pesados, a fim de estimar as características estruturais. Avaliou-se a densidade volumétrica da forragem, com o auxílio do “ponto inclinado” e feita as análises laboratoriais a fim de estimar o que os caprinos consumiram durante o pastejo. As amostras analisadas foram colhidas pelo método do pastejo simulado.

The area was divided into 18 paddocks of 243 m2 for the study with 3 treatments arranged in a randomized blocks design with 6 replications for the grasses evaluations. The evaluations relating to the ingestive behavior of the goats were carried out, in the same area, in 12 paddocks, allocated in randomized blocks design with 4 replications. The treatments consisted in 3 levels of residual LAI (0,8 – 1,6 – 2,4). The period of rest was adopted according to the criterion of 95% of LI or when the readability remained constant during 3 consecutive weeks. Before each period of grazing have been done 20 points of height of vegetation were taken, 6 samples at the level of the soil were collected for each paddock . The animals grazed until the the remainder LAI pre-determined. Measurements were made of leaf area index (LAI) and the light interception (LI) with the equipment AccuPAR LP-80 Decagon – USA. Samples were weighed and, 400 g were kept for the separation of morphologic components (leaf, stem lap and dead). These were dried at 55° C for 72h and weighed in order to estimate the herbage mass. Density was evaluated by volume of forage with the inclined point quadrat. Laboratory analyzes were done in order to estimate the goats fed during the grazing and the samples were collected by the handing plucking method. They were measured variables which reflect the ingestive behavior in grazing as the bite mass, area, depth and the rate .

A produção e qualidade dos frutos de melancia estão associadas a fatores genéticos, climáticos e fitotécnicos, sendo a nutrição da planta de fundamental importância para conseguir resultados satisfatórios. O nitrogênio e o potássio são os nutrientes extraídos em maior quantidade pela melancia e devem ser aplicados de forma e quantidade adequada e na época correta. Outro fator de grande importância no manejo cultural é o espaçamento, pois determina alterações morfofisiológicas na planta que repercutem no seu potencial produtivo e, também, no tamanho, formato e qualidade da hortaliça. Foram feitos dois experimentos, um com o híbrido Shadow (triplóide sem semente) e outro com o híbrido com semente Top Gun com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos da aplicação via fertirrigação de doses de nitrogênio e potássio combinada com espaçamentos entre plantas na linha de plantio no desenvolvimento foliar e na produtividade da cultura para o híbrido sem sementes e para o híbrido com sementes.

The production and fruit quality of watermelon are associated with genetic factors, climatic elements and cultivar characteristics, and the plant nutrition is of fundamental importance for achieving satisfactory results. Nitrogen and potassium are the nutrients extracted in greater quantity by watermelon and should be applied in right quantity and at the correct time. Another factor of great importance in crop management is the spacing between plants, because it determines the plant morpho-physiological changes which result in their productive potential and also the size, shape and quality of vegetables. Two experiments were made, one with the Shadow Hybrid (triploid seedless) and the other with the hybrid with seed Top Gun with the objective of to evaluate the effects of doses of nitrogen and potassium applied by fertigation combined with spacing between plants on the line in leaf development and crop yield for hybrid seedless and the hybrid with seeds. And also to evaluate the effect of spacing on the water storage in the soil in the two hybrids. Both experiments used a randomized block design in split plots with four main treatments and four secondary treatments, and three replications. The main treatments corresponded to application of doses of N and K applied by fertigation (75%, 100%, 125% and 150% of 106.4 and 118 kg ha-1 of N and K, respectively).
