Resumo: Avaliou-se o efeito da utilização do bioestimulante Stimulate® em plantas de pimentão enxertadas e não enxertadas, em ambiente protegido, no aumento de produção. Seis doses do Stimulate® (0; 75; 100; 125; 150 e 175 mL p.c. 100 L H2O-1) foram aplicadas via pulverização foliar sete vezes, quinzenalmente, em plantas de pimenteiro resultando em um esquema fatorial (2 x 6) e delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. As plantas enxertadas foram mais produtivas em relação às plantas pé-franco, produzindo frutos de características agronômicas superiores. No geral, 100 e 125-150 mL p.c. 100 L H2O-1 de Stimulate® promoveram incremento positivo na produção de pimenteiro enxertado e pé-franco, respectivamente / Abstract: It was evaluated the effect of using the Stimulate® biostimulant in grafted and non grafted plants of sweet pepper in a protected environment, to increase production. Six doses of Stimulate® (0; 75; 100; 125; 150 e 175 mL p.c. 100 L H2O-1) were applied by foliar sprays seven times, fortnightly, in sweet pepper plants resulting in a factorial (2 x 6) and randomized block design with four replications. The grafted plants were more productive than non grafted plants, producing fruits with better agronomic characteristics. In general, 100 and 125-150 mL p.c. 100 L H2O-1 of Stimulate® promoted a positive increase in the production of grafted and non grafted sweet pepper plants, respectively / Orientador: Rumy Goto / Coorientador: Elizabeth Orika Ono / Banca: João Domingos Rodrigues / Banca: Roberto Botelho Ferraz Branco / Mestre

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da aplicação de reguladores vegetais e de fosfito de potássio em mudas de híbrido de Eucalyptus grandis vs. Eucalyptus urophylla submetidas à deficiência hídrica. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos, em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualisado com nove tratamentos e quatro repetições, em casa de vegetação no Núcleo de Pesquisas Avançadas em Matologia, pertencente ao Departamento de Produção Vegetal da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas da UNESP, localizada no município de Botucatu (SP). Cada parcela experimental foi composta por um vaso contendo 5 L de solo, no qual foi transplantada uma muda no estádio de 3 a 4 pares de folhas. Os tratamentos foram aplicados quando as plantas estavam uniformes e bem aclimatadas, via pulverização foliar, utilizando 50 mL de solução com a dose específica de cada regulador vegetal e do fosfito de potássio. A deficiência hídrica foi imposta 7 dias após a aplicação dos tratamentos, por meio da suspensão da água de irrigação. No primeiro experimento cada tratamento constituiu-se de 1000 g ha-1 do regulador vegetal (ácido salicílico (AS), metil salicilato (MeS), ácido jasmônico (AJ), metil jasmonato (MeJ), ácido dihidro jasmônico (DHJ) e metil dihidro jasmonato (MeDHJ)) e 5 L p.c. de fosfito de potássio. Foram adotados dois tratamentos testemunhas, sem aplicação de compostos, sendo um deles submetido à deficiência hídrica e o outro irrigado. No segundo experimento foram utilizados os mesmos tratamentos, com exceção dos tratamentos com AS e MeS que...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of exogenous application of plant growth regulators and potassium phosphite in hybrids seedlings of Eucalyptus grandis vs. Eucalyptus urophylla subjected to water stress. Two experiments were conducted in completely randomized design with nine treatments and four replications in a greenhouse at Nucleus of Advanced Research in Weed Science, in the Crop Science Department of the College of Agricultural Science, UNESP, located in Botucatu, SP, Brazil. Each plot consisted of a vase containing 5 liters of soil in which a seedling was transplanted in 3-4 pairs of leaves stage. When the plants were uniform and acclimated treatments were sprayed on the leaves using 50 mL of solution with the specific dose for each plant growth regulator with the specific dose for each plant growth regulator and potassium phosphite. Water stress was imposed 7 days after treatment application, through irrigation water suspension. In the first experiment, each treatment consisted of 1000 g ha-1 of plant growth regulator (salicylic acid (AS), methyl salicylate (MeS), jasmonic acid (AJ), methyl jasmonate (MeJ), dihydro jasmonic acid (DHJ) and methyl dihydro-jasmonate (MeDHJ)) and 5 L of potassium phosphite. Two control treatments were used, without the application of compounds, one subjected to water stress and other irrigated. In the second experiment the same treatments were used, except for treatment AS and MeS, where the doses were reduced to 200 g ha-1 due to plants intoxication observed in these treatments in the first experiment.

However, there are crop management and postharvest factors that affect the expansion of the species. So, the objective of this work was to study some physiological postharvest aspect of beehive ginger inflorescences grown in the lower middle São Francisco river basin. Flower stems just harvested were submitted to different treatments (distilled water; 75 mg L-1 of silver nitrate - AgNO3; 1000 mg L-1 of cobalt chloride - CoCl2; 5 mg L-1 de GA3 - Progibb® and 10 mg L-1 of 6-benzylamino purine - BAP), in an environment with controlled temperature and humidity, for 15 days. The longevity was monitored from non-destructive analysis (grading scale, fresh weight, consumption and pH of the preservative solution) as well as destructive ones (peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activity, total soluble and reducing carbohydrates, phenols, putrescine, spermine and spermidine content). The non-destructive analysis showed that the beehive ginger stems treated with gibberelin and silver nitrate presented a better visual aspect according to the grading scale, the ones treated with AgNO3 absorbed a greater volume of the solution during the experimental period, while the ones treated with silver nitrate and BAP had a greater fresh weight. The smallest variation of the preservative solution pH took place with the treatments containing the plant regulators. The destructive analysis revealed that the inflorescences maintained in preservative solutions with gibberelin and distilled water kept their stocks of total soluble sugars for 3 days longer than the stems submitted to the other treatments. The contents of reducing sugars increased 7 considerably in inflorescences treated with cytokinin. The BAP promoted alterations in the activity of the...

In areas where they have been applied, better plant development and shooting have been observed. The aim here was to evaluate the application of plant regulators Ethrel and Moddus on sugar cane growth, not only in a direct way, but also indirectly, through the modification of rhizosphere microorganisms. Besides, this work also aimed the evaluation of rhizobacteria isolated from the experiments using plant regulators upon the disease biocontrol and their action mechanisms in this respect. The effects of plant regulators upon the soil microorganisms were verified in culture media where Ethrel and Moddus were added in concentrations ranging from 0 to 1000 ppm, while the effects of these substances (applied in leaves and in soil) upon the sugar cane development (varieties RB72454, RB835486 and RB855156) were surveyed in greenhouse, using soil without treatment and treated with methyl bromide. After a ten-month period, the experiments were finished, and sprouting, height and aerial part and root dry matter were analyzed. Soil samples were taken from the pots for rhizobacteria isolation, which were evaluated initially in vitro regarding their ability to control plant pathogenic fungi (Thielaviopsis paradoxa, Fusarium spp. and Hendersonina sacchari), and in vivo, regarding their ability to promote sugar cane growth. Some action mechanisms were also studied, as indol acetic acid, cyanide acid and siderophore production and inorganic phosphate solubilization. It was verified that the fungi populations were more sensitive to the addition of plant regulators than other microorganisms, reducing their colony-forming unit (CFU)...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)

O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar os efeitos do condicionamento fisiológico (CF), escarificação química e diferentes períodos de envelhecimento artificial na qualidade fisiológica, superação de dormência e lixiviação de íons no exsudato do teste de condutividade elétrica, em sementes de B. brizantha cv. MG-5 Vitória. O trabalho foi conduzido no Laboratório de Análises de Sementes da Unesp - Campus de Ilha Solteira. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizados e o estudo foi constituído por três experimentos. Experimento 1 – verificou-se o efeito do condicionamento osmótico (CO) com soluções mistas constituídas por Polietileno glicol 8000 + solução com nutriente ou regulador de crescimento ou bioestimulante e associação entres eles. Experimento 2 – verificou-se os efeitos de diferentes períodos de envelhecimento artificial. Experimento 3 – verificou-se os efeitos da escarificação química, diferentes períodos de envelhecimento artificial e CF. Conclui-se que o aumento dos teores de potássio e cálcio nas sementes é proporcionado através do CO com KNO3 e Ca(NO3)2, respectivamente. A escarificação química é um método eficaz para superação de dormência, porém as sementes apresentam menor potencial de armazenamento. A utilização da escarificação com um período curto de exposição à alta temperatura e umidade é eficaz para o aumento da expressão do vigor e superação de dormência das sementes. O CF com KNO3 atua positivamente na qualidade fisiológica das sementes e proporciona menor perda de constituintes celulares.

The objective was to investigate the effects of priming, chemical scarification and different periods of artificial aging on physiological quality, dormancy and leaching of ions in the exudate of the electrical conductivity test seeds of B. brizantha cv. MG-5 Vitória. The work was carried out at the Laboratory of Seed Analysis - Unesp Ilha Solteira. The experimental design was completely randomized and the study consisted of three experiments. Experiment 1 - it has the effect of priming mixed solutions consisting of polyethylene glycol 8000 + with nutrient solution or growth regulator or plant growth regulator and association among them. Experiment 2 - it has the effect of different periods of artificial aging. Experiment 3 - it has the effect of chemical scarification, different periods of aging and priming. We conclude that increased levels of potassium and calcium in the seed provided by the priming with KNO3 and Ca(NO3) 2, respectively. Chemical scarification is an effective method for breaking dormancy, but the seeds have a lower storage potential. The use of scarification with a short period of exposure to high temperature and humidity is effective to increase the expression of vigor and dormancy of seeds. Priming with KNO3 acts positively on seed physiological quality and provides lower loss of cellular constituents. The leaching of potassium seems to be a suitable parameter for identifying the physiological quality of seeds scarified B. brizantha
