Combined application of bio-organic phosphate and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus strain MWT 14) improve the performance of bread wheat with low fertilizer input under an arid climate

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract This study was aimed to investigate the effect of bio-organic phosphate either alone or in combination with phosphorus solubilizing bacteria strain (Bacillus MWT-14) on the growth and productivity of two wheat cultivars (Galaxy-2013 and Punjab-2011) along with recommended (150-100 NP kg ha−...

Pleurotus spp. cultivation on Brachiaria sp. straw treatment with alkaline water

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficiency of aqueous alkali-treated Brachiaria straw for the cultivation of appropriate species of oyster mushroom. The substrate used in the cultivation of various Pleurotus spp. was soaked for 20 min by using two different procedures: (i) 0.5-2.0% ...

Avaliação de resíduos de pesticidas na dieta brasileira, período de 2001 a 2010
Evaluation of pesticide residues in the Brazilian diet, from 2001 to 2010

Hig. aliment; 31 (274/275), 2017
O consumo, de alimentos seguros, vem aumentando e a prática do uso de agrotóxicos é comum no Brasil. A cesta básica deve ter os alimentos monitorados, para tanto, esforços do governo deveriam garantir a produção de alimentos seguros. O monitoramento de resíduos de agrotóxicos auxilia na garantia...

Agronomic viability of New Zealand spinach and kale intercropping

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT The intercropping is a production system that aims to provide increased yield with less environmental impact, due to greater efficiency in the use of natural resources and inputs involved in the production process. An experiment was carried out to evaluate the agronomic viability of kale and New...

Thidiazuron (TDZ) increases fruit set and yield of 'Hosui' and 'Packham's Triumph' pear trees

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT The low fruit set is one of the main factors leading to poor yield of pear orchards in Brazil. The exogenous application of thidiazuron (TDZ) and aminoethoxyvinilglycine (AVG) has shown promising results in some pear cultivars and other temperate fruit trees. The objective of this study was to e...

Data mining and influential analysis of gene expression data for plant resistance gene identification in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (2), 2014
Background Molecular mechanisms of plant-pathogen interactions have been studied thoroughly but much about them is still unknown. A better understanding of these mechanisms and the detection of new resistance genes can improve crop production and food supply. Extracting this knowledge from available geno...
