Rendimento do inhame adubado com esterco bovino e biofertilizante no solo e na folha

The objective of this study was to evaluate the yam yield, cultivar Da Costa, fertilized with bovine manure doses and biofertilizer. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in subdivided plots 6 x 2 + 1 with three repetitions. In plots six doses of cattle manure (0; 6; 12; 18; 24 and 30 t ha-1) were tested, factorially combined with the presence and absence of biofertilizer and in subplots, two forms of application of biofertilizer in the soil and by spray on the leaf and an additional treatment with conventional fertilization (animal manure and NPK). The doses of 30 t ha-1 of bovine manure and the biofertilizer which was applied in the soil and leaf produced tubers with ideal average weight for the commercialization. The bovine manure in doses of 19.2 t ha-1 and in the absence of biofertilizer provided maximum productivity of 20.3 t ha-1 of commercial tubers. Subplots in which the biofertilizer was applied to the soil and leaf, the dose of 30 t ha-1 of cattle manure was responsible, respectively, for maximum yields of 22.8 and 24 t ha-1 of commercial tubers. The organic and conventional fertilizations did not cause any significant change in the mean tuber weight, but the conventional fertilization increased the productivity of commercial tuber.

Períodos de interferência das plantas daninhas na cultura do girassol em Rondônia

The objective of this study was to determine the periods of weed interference in sunflower cultivation, and its effects on the head diameter, oil content, oil yield and its productivity. The experimental design was in the randomized blocks with three replications. The treatments were arranged in a factorial 2 x 2 x 5, with the following factors: cultivar (Embrapa 122 and Helio 358), modality of competition (in the presence and absence of weeds) and periods of coexistence and control of weed from the emergence until the 15, 30, 45, 60 and 110 days. The measured variables were head diameter, oil content, oil yield and productivity. Weeds interfere negatively in the head diameter, in the productivity, and in the yield of oil, but the coexistence with the weeds increases the oil content of seeds, as well as reduces in 76.83 and 92.68% the productivity of cultivars Embrapa 122 and Helio 358, respectively. Assuming a 10% loss in productivity, the PAI, PTPI and the critical period of prevention and interference (PCPI) for the cultivar Embrapa 122 were 16, 37 and 21 days, respectively. For the hybrid Helio 358 the period before interference (PAI), the PTPI and the PCPI were 24, 43 and 19 days, respectively.
