Medicinal plants at the Sítio do Gois, Apodi, Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil

Rural communities have accumulated knowledge about survival techniques in the midst of difficulties, such as ecological, economic or social, and one of the transformation spaces and extraction of resources to these communities is the natural vegetation and homegarden. The aim of this study was to list medicinal plants and characterize the use of these plants at the Sitio do Gois, Apodi-RN, Brazil. Open-interview, semi-structured and guided tours by local experts (field guide person, foresters, herb doctors, healers, farmers, housewives) were realized. Medicinal plants are distributed in 34 families, 46 genera and 52 species. The family with the greatest number of individuals was Lamiaceae (seven species). The species most mentioned were Amburana cearensis (77%) followed by 69% de citation of Myracrodruon urundeuva, Sideroxylon obtusifolium, Ximenia americana. Informants are aware of specific uses of native medicinal plants of the caatinga and homegardens. The most common preparations are teas and syrups, used part is the leaf and stem bark and great number of citations for disorders of the digestive and respiratory systems. The most important species with greater use agreement were A. cearensis M. urundeuva, S. obtusifolium and X. americana they deserve pharmacological studies and validation.

Produção de cebola cultivada sob diferentes densidades de plantio

The aim of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance of onions in different planting densities in Mossoro, RN. The experimental design used was a complete randomized blocks in factorial scheme 2 x 5, with four replications. The treatments consisted of the combination of two onion cultivars (Vale Ouro IPA 11 and Bella Dura) and five planting densities (80, 120, 160, 200 and 240 plants m-2). The evaluated characteristics were: classification of bulbs according to the transverse diameter; total, commercial and noncommercial productivity; mean mass of bulb, dry mass of bulb and relative format of bulbs. The most productive cultivar was IPA 11, with total productivity of 26.76 t ha-1. The density that provided the greatest total productivity (30.48 t ha-1) was the 204 plants m-2 and commercial (24.74 t ha-1) was the 161 plants m-2. The increase in density reduced the average of medium and dry bulb mass, bulbs percentage of classes 2 and 3 as well as increased non-commercial yield, percentage of bulbs class 1 (waste) and relation of bulb shape. The cultivar Vale Ouro IPA 11 was superior to the hybrid Bella Dura regarding total bulb yield, average weight of commercial bulbs and format relations, regardless of plant density.

Contribuição ao conhecimento e conservação da laranjinha

El Laranjinha Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem Humb. Ex. Schult.) TD Penn. es un arbol fructifero, adaptadas a las condiciones del Pantanal, semi-aridas del Noreste de los valles de los rios y San Francisco, su importancia ecologica, alimentos y medicinas. S. obtusifolium es sensible a la desaparicion de la destruccion del habitat y el uso extractivo en la medicina popular. La corteza se utiliza para las heridas, el dolor, ulcera duodenal, gastritis, acidez estomacal, inflamacion cronica, problemas genitales, inflamacion, cancer de ovario, colon, problemas renales, enfermedades cardiacas, diabetes, fiebre y como expectorante. Esta revision se refiere a temas etnobotanica, quimica ecologica y la conservacion de esta especie.

Individual variability in morphometry and emergence of seeds of Combretum leprosum

Combretum leprosum Mart. is a medicinal species of the Brazilian savanna with good potential potential for use in the regeneration of degraded areas, mainly because it is resistant to burning. This study aimed to evaluate the fruit and seed morphometry, emergence and early plant development of C. leprosum. The seeds of C. leprosum were extracted from mature fruits from five different mother plants in Mossoró-RN. The fruit and seeds lots varied in length, diameter and mass and mother plant 1 had the lowest seed diameters and mass and also the lower averages for all evaluated characteristics of the seedlings. Seeds of mother plant 2, 3 and 5 had a short period of emergence. There was variation in emergence rates among the individuals. Combretum leprosum individuals has variability in emergence and biometrics of seeds, and these characteristics influence the quality of seedlings.
