Tamanho de amostra para a estimação da média de caracteres morfológicos e produtivos de nabo forrageiro

The aim of this research was to determine the sample size to estimate the average of morphological and productive traits of turnip (Raphanus sativus L.). In a experiment, 300 plants were randomly selected and measured for morphological traits (plant height and number of leaf at 21, 35, 48, 55, 62, 70, 77 and 91 days after sowing) and productive (fresh and dry matter of roots, stem, leaf and total of 91 days after sowing). Measures of central tendency and variability were calculated, normality was checked and the sample size was calculated. The sample size of productive traits is greater than morphological to estimate average and it has the same precision. For the morphological and productive traits studied 231 plants are enough to predict the average, with an estimation error maximum of 10% of estimated average, with a degree confidence of 95%.

Estimação da área foliar de mucuna cinza por meio de método não destrutivo

The objective of this research was to model the leaf area of velvet bean determined by digital photos with the dimensions of the central leaflet limb of the leaf. A experiment of 256m 2 was conducted with the culture of velvet bean in the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. In six periods of culture development (29, 43, 57, 73, 87 and 101 days after emergence) were collected, randomly, 790 leaves. Each leaf is composed of the left, center and right leaflets. In these 790 leaves were measured the length (CFC) and width (LFC) and calculated the product length width (CFC×LFC) of the central leaflet. It was determined the leaf area (the leaf area sum of the left, center and right leaflets) by the method of digital photos (Y). Later, 650 leaves were randomly separated, to build the quadratic model, potency and linear of Y in function of the CFC, LFC and/or CFC×LFC. It was used 140 leaves for validation. The potency model of leaf area obtained by method of digital photos (Y=3.6450 x 1.9479

Tamanho de amostra para a estimação da média do comprimento, diâmetro e massa de sementes de feijão de porco e mucuna cinza

The objective of this research was to determine the sample size (number of seeds) to estimate the average of length, major and minor diameters and weight of seeds of jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) and velvet bean (Stizolobium cinereum). In 300 seeds of jack bean and 300 seeds of velvet bean it was measured following characters: length, major and minor diameters and weight. It was calculated measures of central tendency and variability. After the hypothesis of equality between the means and homogeneity of variances, were tested. It was determined the sample size using resampling with replacement of 10,000 samples. For estimating the average of length, major and minor diameters and weight, with amplitude of confidence interval of 95%, equal 10% of average estimate, 117 and 66 seeds are sufficient, respectively, for jack bean and velvet bean.

Precisão experimental relacionada a tamanhos de parcelas, números de tratamentos e repetições em nabo forrageiro

The objective of this work was to determine the experimental precision in the evaluation of forage turnip fresh matter weight, in scenarios formed by combinations of plot sizes and number of treatments and replicates. Data from fresh matter weight of 3,456 basic experimental units of 0.5×0.5 m (0.25 m2) were used. The scenarios (1,728) were planned and formed by the combinations of six plot sizes (0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, and 2.25 m2), i treatments (i = 5, 6,..., 20), and r replicates (r = 3, 4,..., 20). For each scenario, 2,000 resamplings were carried out, with replacement. The average of these 2,000 estimates, in each scenario, was calculated for the least significant difference by Tukeys test, the variation index, and the experimental coefficient of variation. These statistics, in that order, are adequate to evaluate the experimental precision. To evaluate turnip fresh matter weight, in experiments in a completely randomized design with 5 to 20 treatments and five replicates, plots with the size of six basic experimental units (1.50 m2) are sufficient to identify significant differences between treatments - less than or equal to 36.88% of the overall mean -, by Tukeys test at 5% probability, in experiments in a completely randomized design with 5 to 20 treatments and five replicates.
