Performance of carrot genotypes at two Jequitinhonha Valley sites

The successful commercial use of carrot depends on the choice of cultivars that are well-adapted to soil and climate conditions at the cultivation site and on good consumer acceptance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of …

Growth of carrot cultivars in different environments

The carrot (Daucus carota) is the fifth most widely grown vegetable crop in Brazil, with an average yield of only 32.1 + [ha.sup.-1] with productive potential to reach 80 + [ha.sup.-1]. One reason cited for this low productivity is planting varieties …

Phytosociological characterization of weed species as affected by soil management

Under tropical environments, the soil seed bank ensures floristic diversity and raises the ability of weeds to infest the area repeatedly whn weed/soil management practices are applied. The objective of this study is to identify weed species emerged …

Crescimento inicial da cultura da mandioca em sistema de policultivo

Uma das principais razões pela qual os agricultores em diversas regiões preferem os policultivos é a possibilidade de se obter maiores produtividades numa área semeada em policultivo do que em área equivalente com uma monocultura. Assim em sistemas …

Rehabilitation with forage grasses of an area degraded by urban solid waste deposits

Dry matter yield and chemical composition of forage grasses harvested from an area degraded by urban solid waste deposits were evaluated. A split-plot scheme in a randomized block design with four replicates was used, with five grasses in the plots …

Crescimento da mandioca e plantas daninhas em resposta à adubação fosfatada

Os fertilizantes podem ser usados para alterar as relações de competitividade, de modo a favorecer as espécies cultivadas, desde que as espécies competidoras apresentem respostas diferenciadas à aplicação de nutrientes. Por essas razões, …
