Intercropping is a common practice among farmers in tropical regions of the world and has persisted for years, not only for traditional reasons, but also for certain advantages that helped in its ecological adaptation. In regard to low income farmers …
Biostimulants are complex substances that promote hormonal balance in plants, favor the genetic potential expression, and enhance growth of shoots and root system. The use of these plant growth promoters in crops can increase quantitatively and …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Objetivou-se com a pesquisa avaliar a infuência da aplicação do herbicida Diquat, em diferentes épocas, sobre a produção e qualidade fsiológica das sementes de feijão, cultivar Pérola. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos casualizados …
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 …
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, …
