| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Semiarid regions are apparently low biodiversity environments; however, these environments may host a phylogenetically diverse microbial community associated with plants. Their microbial inhabitants are often recruited to withstand stressful settings and improve plant growth under harsh conditions. Thus, plant-associated microorganisms isolated from semiarid and seasonally dry environments will be detailed in the present review, focusing on plant growth promotion potential and the microbial ability to alleviate plant abiotic stress. Initially, we explored the role of microbes from dry environments around the world, and then, we focused on seasonally dry Brazilian biomes, the Caatinga and the Cerrado. Cultivable bacteria from semiarid and seasonally dry environments have demonstrated great plant growth promotion traits such as plant hormone production, mobilization of insoluble nutrients, and mechanisms related to plant abiotic stress alleviation. Several of these isolates were able to improve plant growth under stressful conditions commonly present in typical semiarid regions, such as high salinity and drought. Additionally, we highlight the potential of plants highly adapted to seasonal climates from the Caatinga and Cerrado biomes as a suitable pool of microbial inoculants to maintain plant growth under abiotic stress conditions. In general, we point out the potential for the exploitation of new microbial inoculants from plants growing in dry environments to ensure a sustainable increase in agricultural productivity future climate change scenario. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Saline environments are extreme habitats with a high diversity of microorganisms source of a myriad of biomolecules. These microorganisms are assigned as extremophiles recognized to be producers of new natural compounds, which can be synthesized by helping to survive under harshness and extreme conditions. In Brazil, in the saline and semi-arid region of Areia Branca (Caatinga biome), halotolerant bacteria (able to growth at high NaCl concentrations) were isolated from rhizosphere of native plants Blutaparon portulacoides and Spergularia sp. and their biopolymer production was studied. A total of 25 bacterial isolates were identified at genus level based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Isolates were mainly Gram-positive bacteria from Bacillaceae, Staphylococcaceae, Microbacteriaceae, and Bacillales XII incertae sedis families, affiliates to Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Curtobacterium, and Exiguobacterium genera, respectively. One of the Gram-negative isolates was identified as member of the Pseudomonadaceae family, genus Pseudomonas. All the identified strains were halotolerant bacteria with optimum growth at 0.6–2.0 M salt concentrations. Assays for biopolymer production showed that the halotolerant strains are a rich source of compounds as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), biodegradable biopolymer, such as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) produced from low-cost substrates, and exopolysaccharides (EPS), such as hyaluronic acid (HA), metabolite of great interest to the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Also, eight bacterial EPS extracts showed immunostimulatory activity, promising results that can be used in biomedical applications. Overall, our findings demonstrate that these biomolecules can be produced in culture medium with 0.6–2.0 M NaCl concentrations, relevant feature to avoid costly production processes. This is the first report of biopolymer-producing bacteria from a saline region of Caatinga biome that showed important biological activities. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: A common strategy used to maintain sterile fly quality without sacrificing sterility is to irradiate the insects under an oxygen-reduced atmosphere. So far, sterilizing doses for the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus have only been determined under normoxia. Our study reports for the first time the dose-sterility response under hypoxia for two different A. fraterculus strains. The pupae were derived from a bisexual strain (a Brazilian-1 population) and a recently developed genetic sexing strain (GSS-89). Two hours prior to irradiation, pupae were transferred to sealed glass bottles and irradiated when oxygen concentration was below 3%. Four types of crosses with nonirradiated flies of the bisexual strain were set to assess sterility for each radiation dose. For males from both strains, Weibull dose–response curves between radiation doses and the proportion of egg hatch, egg-to-pupa recovery, and recovery of adults were determined. The GSS males revealed high sterility/mortality levels compared to males from the bisexual strain at doses < 40 Gy, but a dose of 74 Gy reduced egg hatch by 99% regardless of the male strain and was considered the sterilizing dose. The fertility of irradiated females was severely affected even at low doses under hypoxia. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Microsporidia are naturally occurring fungal-related parasites that can infect nearly all animal hosts, but their biocontrol potential of insect pests is routinely overlooked in agriculture and forestry. This research brings the first report describing the natural occurrence of a microsporidium causing disease in field-collected populations of the invasive eucalyptus snout beetle, Gonipterus platensis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a major destructive pest of eucalyptus plantations in Brazil. Adult beetles were collected during field surveys in commercial eucalyptus plantations in southern Brazil to be examined and dissected with typical symptoms to verify presence of microsporidian spores in haemolymph. From 14 plantations in different sites, the natural infection occurrence in these populations ranged from 0 to 65%, while a lab colony exhibited an infection incidence of 70%. Spore density in haemolymph of symptomatic insects averaged 2.1 (± 0.4) × 107 spores/beetle. Symptoms in infected adults were identified by an abnormal abdomen with malformation of the second pair of wings, impairing their flight activity. Electron transmission microscopy of the pathogen showed morphological features similar to species belonging to the genus Nosema or Vairimorpha. Phylogenetic analysis of the full-length small subunit ribosomal RNA gene suggests this pathogen’s placement in the genus Vairimorpha, but with a sequence identity of ~ 94% with the nearest neighbours. The low level of sequence identity suggests this pathogen may represent a novel taxon in the genus and further requires whole genome sequencing for definitive taxonomic resolution. These findings provide insights on the natural occurrence of this novel pathogen of this invasive pest in Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil. Further studies are needed to determine potential of this microsporidium in the design of conservative or augmentative biological control programs for this invasive pest. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Brazilian Amazon is facing ongoing threat due to deforestation. Eastern Amazon (EA), however, is an old colonization front, where rural landscape is dominated by secondary vegetation (capoeira) and cattle ranching. The effects of land-use land-cover (LULC) at catchment, riparian and local scales upon stream insect assemblages (SIA) were analyzed from 17 catchments. Agriculture development, daily variation in temperature, dissolved oxygen and sodium concentrations explained variations of 33.7% in taxa composition and 58.5% in functional feeding groups. Partial Least Squares Regression revealed complex effects on SIA, pointing to interactions of LULC at all scales, but stronger at the riparian. Capoeira placed varied effects upon SIA, positive and negative and weaker than agriculture or forest cover. In order to warrant optimal conditions to the stream biota, indicating a sustained flow of ecosystem services, both forest fragments and capoeira patches should be adequately managed, especially along and closer to the aquatic habitat network. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Functional additives of natural origin included as dietary supplements have become an alternative to synthetic antibiotics to improve health and resistance to ecologically correct pathogenic diseases in fish farming. We tested whether incorporating a mixture of phytobiotics such as volatile oils of thyme, red thyme and pepper rosemary into the diet improves growth performance, oxidative stress, immune and hematological responses and resistance of juvenile Nile tilapia when subjected to a challenge with Aeromonas hydrophila compared to a synthetic antibiotic (enrofloxacin). The experimental design was completely randomized with three experimental groups: control diet, diets containing a mixture of thyme phytobiotic essential oils, red thyme and pepper rosemary (FTB) and the synthetic antibiotic enrofloxacin (ATB), with four replicates (14 fish per repetition/experimental unit). Plasma glucose levels, leukocyte respiratory activity, serum lysozyme levels, number of circulating erythrocytes and leukocytes, levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO), catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity at the end of 20 days of feeding (phase) were evaluated and 24 h after exposure to bacteria (phase II). The supplementation of FTB and ATB did not change the performance parameters, but it was sufficient to increase lysozyme, leukocytes, neutrophils and monocytes after the bacterial challenge, reduction of CAT and LPO activity and the highest GST activity (P < 0.05). The results of the present study suggest that FTB as a dietary supplement has benefits and can replace synthetic ATB, including supplementation with FTB for 20 days to provide greater antioxidant protection in Nile tilapia, mitigate the impacts of stressors and modulate immunity, providing to fish greater resistance and protection against diseases. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: This study was sought to devise pellets containing inorganic materials and microsclerotia of Metarhizium anisopliae strain IP 119 for biological control of Rhipicephalus microplus, the most economically important tick in Brazilian cattle industry. In addition, we evaluated the storage stability of the pellets, their tolerance to ultraviolet radiation (UV-B), and efficacy against ticks under laboratory conditions. Fungal microsclerotia were produced by liquid culture fermentation and mixed with pre-selected inorganic matrices: vermiculite powder, diatomaceous earth, and colloidal silicon dioxide (78:20:2, w/w/w). The microsclerotial pellets were then prepared by a two-stage process involving extrusion and spheronization. Pellet size averaged 525.53 ± 7.74 μm, with a sphericity index of 0.72 ± 0.01, while biomass constituents did not affect the wet mass properties. Conidial production from microsclerotial pellets upon rehydration ranged from 1.85 × 109 to 1.97 × 109 conidia g−1 with conidial viability ≥ 93%. Conidial production from pellets stored at 4 °C was invariable for up to 21 days. Unformulated microsclerotia and microsclerotial pellets were extremely tolerant to UV-B compared with aerial conidia. Engorged tick females exposed to conidia from sporulated pellets applied to soil samples and upon optimal rehydration exhibited shorter oviposition time length, shorter life span, and reduced number of hatched larvae. In summary, microsclerotial pellets of M. anisopliae IP 119 effectively suppressed R. microplus and showed outstanding UV-B tolerance in laboratory tests. Prospectively, this formulation prototype is promising for targeting the non-parasitic stage of this tick on outdoor pasture fields and may offer a novel mycoacaricide for its sustainable management. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Sugarcane is a major crop in Brazil as well as other tropical areas. The rise of green cane systems that maintain straw on the soil surface after mechanical harvesting alongside extreme precipitation has changed the use and environmental fate of pesticides, mainly herbicides. The goal of this research was to evaluate the effects of straw amounts (0, 7, and 14 t ha-1), soil water contents (10 and 18%, volumetric basis), and herbicide incubation time (0 and 3 days) on the runoff of hexazinone and diuron in green cane systems, under a heavy rainfall event of 120 mm that is becoming more frequent over the decades in tropical areas. A rainfall event of 80 mm h-1 during 1.5 h was simulated over a 1 m2 area, using a rainfall simulator with a structure designed to collect runoff. Herbicides in water runoff were determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (UPLC ESI QTOF/MS), while herbicides attached to sediments were estimated using Kd values. Sugarcane straw on the soil surface decreased water, sediments, and diuron runoffs, but barely affected hexazinone losses. Crop residues cannot prevent runoff of highly soluble molecules, such as hexazinone. Herbicides? runoffs were much higher in the aqueous phase and at higher soil moisture content. Maintaining 7 t ha-1 of sugarcane straw on the soil surface was enough to mitigate water, sediments, and diuron runoff, but 3-day herbicide incubation did not affect both herbicides runoffs. Diuron and hexazinone are heavily used herbicides that can reach concerning concentrations in the runoff and contaminate surface waters in vulnerable areas if no control measures are taken. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The present research addressed spray-drying and air-drying techniques applied to Metarhizium robertsii blastospores to develop wettable powder (WP) formulations. We investigated the efect of co-formulants on blastospore viability during drying and assessed the wettability and stability of formulations in water. The efect of oxygen-moisture absorbers was studied on the shelf life of these formulations stored at 26 °C and 4 °C for up to 90 days. Additionally, we determined the virulence of the best spraydried and air-dried formulations against the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis. While sucrose and skim milk played an essential role as osmoprotectants in preserving air-dried blastospores, maltodextrin, skim milk, and bentonite were crucial to attain high cell survival during spray drying. The lowest wettability time was achieved with spray-dried formulations containing less Ca-lignin, while charcoal powder amount was positively associated with formulation stability. The addition of oxygen-moisture absorbers inside sealed packages increased from threefold to fourfold the half-life times of air-dried and spray-dried formulations at both storage temperatures. However, the half-life times of all blastospore-based formulations were shorter than 3 months regardless of temperature and packaging system. Spray-dried and air-dried WP formulations were as virulent as fresh blastopores against D. maydis adults sprayed with 5× 107 blastospores mL−1 that induced 87.8% and 70.6% mortality, respectively. These fndings bring innovative advancement for M. robertsii blastospore formulation through spray-drying and underpin the importance of adding protective matrices coupled to oxygen-moisture absorbers to extend cell viability during either cold or non-refrigerated storage. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Social interactions impact microbial communities and these relationships are mediated by small molecules. The chemical ecology of bacteria on the phylloplane environment is still little explored. The harsh environmental conditions found on leaf surface require high metabolic performances of the bacteria in order to survive. That is interesting both for scientific fields of prospecting natural molecules and for the ecological studies. Important queries about the bacterial lifestyle on leaf surface remain not fully comprehended. Does the hostility of the environment increase the populations’ cellular altruism by the production of molecules, which can benefit the whole community? Or does the reverse occur and the production of molecules related to competition between species is increased? Does the phylogenetic distance between the bacterial populations influence the chemical profile during social interactions? Do phylogenetically related bacteria tend to cooperate more than the distant ones? The phylloplane contains high levels of yet uncultivated microorganisms, and understanding the molecular basis of the social networks on this habitat is crucial to gain new insights on the ecology of the mysterious community members due to interspecies molecular dependence. Here, we review and discuss what is known about bacterial social interactions and their chemical lifestyle on leaf surface. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Entomopathogenic fungi can achieve important innovative outcomes for integrated mosquito control especially of Aedes aegypti, the key vector of arboviruses to humans in the tropics and subtropics. This study sought to design and to develop a simple dissemination device to attract and to infect gravid A. aegypti adults with a granular formulation of the ascomycete Metarhizium humberi IP 46, and to validate this device in the laboratory as well as in semi-field and field conditions. Hydrogel (polyacrylamide potassium polyacrylate) was confirmed to be a suitable substitute for water used in the device that attracted gravid females under field conditions. Females laid eggs on black polyethylene terephthalate carpet fixed in the device that also proved to be a suitable substrate for a granular formulation of fungal microsclerotia and/or conidia. The plastic device (29.5 cm high) was divided into a lower closed compartment with a water reservoir and an upper, laterally open but covered compartment with continuously hydrated gel and the fungal formulation attached to the carpet. The uppermost compartment permitted free circulation of mosquito adults. The device attracted both male and female A. aegypti. The fungal formulations of IP 46 propagules tested in the device were effective against adults in laboratory, semi-field, and field settings. Findings in the laboratory, semi-field, and especially in field conditions strengthen the value and utility of this innovative device for focal applications of a mycoinsecticide against this important mosquito vector. |

| Conteúdo: | Drought stress is an alarming constraint to plant growth, development, and productivity worldwide. However, plant-associated bacteria, fungi, and viruses can enhance stress resistance and cope with the negative impacts of drought through the induction of various mechanisms, which involve plant biochemical and physiological changes. These mechanisms include osmotic adjustment, antioxidant enzyme enhancement, modification in phytohormonal levels, biofilm production, increased water and nutrient uptake as well as increased gas exchange and water use efficiency. Production of microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) and induction of stress-responsive genes by microbes also play a crucial role in the acquisition of drought tolerance. This review offers a unique exploration of the role of plant-associated microorganisms—plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and mycorrhizae, viruses, and their interactions—in the plant microbiome (or phytobiome) as a whole and their modes of action that mitigate plant drought stress. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Actinomycetes are versatile about their metabolism, displaying high capacity to produce bioactive metabolites. Enzymes from actinomycetes represent new opportunities for industrial applications. However, proteases from actinomycetes are poorly described by literature. Thereby, to verify proteolytic potential of actinomycetes, the present study aimed the investigation of bacterial isolates from Caatinga and Atlantic Forest rhizosphere. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) peptide libraries were adopted for the evaluations, since they are faster and more qualitative methods, if compared with others described by most reports. A total of 52 microorganisms were inoculated in different culture media (PMB, potato dextrose agar, brain heart infusion agar, Starch Casein Agar and Reasoner’s 2A agar), temperatures (12, 20, 30, 37, 45 and 60°C), and saline conditions (0-4 M NaCl), during 7 days. The actinomycetes named as AC 01, 02 and 52 were selected and showed enzymatic abilities under the peptide probes Abz-KLRSSKQ-EDDnp and Abz-KLYSSKQ-EDDnp, achieving enhanced performance at 30 °C. Biochemical parameters were established, showing a predominance of alkaline proteases with activity under saline conditions. Secreted proteases hydrolysed preferentially polar uncharged residues (Y and N) and positively charged groups (R). Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid inhibited the proteins, a characteristic of serine (AC 01 e 02) and metalloproteases (AC 52). All selected strains belonged to Streptomyces genera. In summary, actinomycete strains with halophilic proteolytic abilities were selected, which improve possibilities for their use in detergent formulations, food processing, waste management and industrial bioconversion. It is important to highlight that this is the first report using FRET libraries for proteolytic screening from Caatinga and Atlantic Forest actinobacteria. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Mining activity is essential for the Brazilian economy, representing 21% of exports in 2018, but it causes several environmental impacts, including deforestation. To minimize these impacts, replanting techniques are applied for environmental recovery and regulatory compliance. In this context, this study aims to monitor vegetation recovery in decommissioned bauxite mining areas located in the Amazon rainforest. The case study was carried out in the municipality of Paragominas (state of Pará). The monitoring used the series of a newly defined spectral index, called Biomass Composite Index (BCI), and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), both from Landsat images between 1986 and 2017. The analysis was complemented by interpretation of false-color images and by in situ photographs. The method was applied for periods before mining, during exploitation, and after decommissioning, when the traditional planting technique was implemented. BCI demonstrated greater sensitivity to forest disturbance in areas affected by forest degradation and less influence of canopy homogeneity where the forest was substituted by more open formations. The height homogeneity of recovered areas also affected the EVI data more than the BCI data, since these areas presented higher values of EVI, and some areas had index values close to those detected before mine operation. The analysis could have benefited from sampling intensification, with more images analyzed per year, to overcome the presence of clouds, which block the acquisition of surface data by the sensor. Nevertheless, the method proved to be very promising and can improve the evaluation of forest recomposition even in remote areas, besides facilitating large-scale monitoring of recovered forests. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Landscape is an ecological category represented by a complex system formed by interactions between society and nature. Spatial patterns of different land uses present in a landscape reveal past and present processes responsible for its dynamics and organisation. Measuring the complexity of these patterns (in the sense of their spatial heterogeneity) allows us to evaluate the integrity and resilience of these complex environmental systems. Here, we show how landscape metrics based on information entropy can be applied to evaluate the complexity (in the sense of spatial heterogeneity) of patches patterns, as well as their transition zones, present in a Cerrado conservation area and its surroundings, located in south-eastern Brazil. The analysis in this study aimed to elucidate how changes in land use and the consequent fragmentation affect the complexity of the landscape. The scripts CompPlex HeROI and CompPlex Janus were created to allow calculation of information entropy (He), variability (He/Hmax), and López-Ruiz, Mancini, and Calbet (LMC) and Shiner, Davison, and Landsberg (SDL) measures. CompPlex HeROI enabled the calculation of these measures for different regions of interest (ROIs) selected in a satellite image of the study area, followed by comparison of the complexity of their patterns, in addition to enabling the generation of complexity signatures for each ROI. CompPlex Janus made it possible to spatialise the results for these four measures in landscape complexity maps. As expected, both for the complexity patterns evaluated by CompPlex HeROI and the complexity maps generated by CompPlex Janus, the areas with vegetation located in a region of intermediate spatial heterogeneity had lower values for the He and He/Hmax measures and higher values for the LMC and SDL measurements. So, these landscape metrics were able to capture the behaviour of the patterns of different types of land use present in the study area, bringing together uses linked to vegetation with increased canopy coverage and differentiating them from urban areas and transition areas that mix different uses. Thus, the algorithms implemented in these scripts were demonstrated to be robust and capable of measuring the variability in information levels from the landscape, not only in terms of spatial datasets but also spectrally. The automation of measurement calculations, owing to informational entropy provided by these scripts, allows a quick assessment of the complexity of patterns present in a landscape, and thus, generates indicators of landscape integrity and resilience. |

| Conteúdo: | Continuous monitoring of soil water content is a crucial element for sustainable agricultural water management. The goal of this study was to use the Cropping System Model (CSM)-CROPGRO-Soybean model in conjunction with field data to determine the impact of different irrigation regimes, soil texture, and tillage practices on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] growth, development, and yield for tropical conditions. Field experiments were conducted at two sites: (i) Piracicaba with conventional tillage (PI-1, season 2016-2017), and no-tillage practices (PI-2, season 2017-2018), where the experiments were irrigated with full water requirements; and (ii) Teresina under conventional tillage (season 2019) with two irrigation treatments of full (TE-1) and 50% (TE-2) water requirements. Soil water content was measured for all experiments using an electromagnetic probe installed at several depths. The results showed that the model was able to simulate soybean growth and development for the different sites, with a very good agreement (D-statistic > 0.8) between the simulated and observed data. In addition, the soil water content was simulated with satisfactory accuracy (D-statistic > 0.5). Following model evaluation, long-term hypothetical scenarios for different soil tillage practices and water management regimes were simulated for Piracicaba and Teresina sites. The results showed that the use of no-tillage could reduce the average amount of irrigation in Piracicaba by 30% and in Teresina by 17%, achieving the same yield level as conventional tillage. Thus, the CSM-CROPGRO-Soybean can be used as a tool for determining optimum water management practices for tropical environments. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Sugarcane production supports the livelihoods of millions of small-scale farmers in developing countries, and the bioenergy needs of millions of consumers. Yet, future sugarcane yields remain uncertain due to differences in climate projections, and because the sensitivity of sugarcane ecophysiology to individual climate drivers (i.e. temperature, precipitation, shortwave radiation, VPD and CO2) and their interactions is largely unresolved. Here we ask: how sensitive is sugarcane yield to future climate change, including climate extremes, and what are its key climate drivers? We combine the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere model with detailed time-series measurements from experimental plots in Guangxi, China, and Sao Paulo State, Brazil. We first calibrated and validated modelled carbon and water cycling against field flux and biometric data. Second, we simulated sugarcane growth under the historical climate (1980-2018), and six future climate projections (2015-2100). We computed the ‘yield-effect’ of each climate driver by generating synthetic climate forcings in which the driver time series was alternated to that of the historical median. In Guangxi, median yield and yield lows (i.e. lower decile) were relatively insensitive to forecast climate change. In Sao Paulo, median yield and yield lows decreased under all future climates projections (x over bar = -4% and -12% respectively). At Guangxi, where moisture stress was low, radiation was the principal driver of yield variability (yield-effect x over bar = -1.2%). Conversely, high moisture stress at Sao Paulo raised yield sensitivity to temperature (yield-effect x over bar = -7.9%). In contrast, a number of other modelling studies report a positive effect of increased temperatures on sugarcane yield. We ascribe the disparity between model predictions to the representation of key phenological processes, including the link between leaf ageing and thermal time, and the role of ageing in driving leaf senescence. We highlight climate sensitivity of phenological processes as a key focus for future research efforts. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Many remote sensing-based evapotranspiration (RSBET) algorithms have been proposed in the past decades and evaluated using flux tower data, mainly over North America and Europe. Model evaluation across South America has been done locally or using only a single algorithm at a time. Here, we provide the first evaluation of multiple RSBET models, at a daily scale, across a wide variety of biomes, climate zones, and land uses in South America. We used meteorological data from 25 flux towers to force four RSBET models: Priestley–Taylor Jet Propulsion Laboratory (PT-JPL), Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM), Penman–Monteith Mu model (PM-MOD), and Penman–Monteith Nagler model (PM-VI). urn:x-wiley:00431397:media:wrcr25611:wrcr25611-math-0001 was predicted satisfactorily by all four models, with correlations consistently higher (urn:x-wiley:00431397:media:wrcr25611:wrcr25611-math-0002) for GLEAM and PT-JPL, and PM-MOD and PM-VI presenting overall better responses in terms of percent bias (urn:x-wiley:00431397:media:wrcr25611:wrcr25611-math-0003%). As for PM-VI, this outcome is expected, given that the model requires calibration with local data. Model skill seems to be unrelated to land-use but instead presented some dependency on biome and climate, with the models producing the best results for wet to moderately wet environments. Our findings show the suitability of individual models for a number of combinations of land cover types, biomes, and climates. At the same time, no model outperformed the others for all conditions, which emphasizes the need for adapting individual algorithms to take into account intrinsic characteristics of climates and ecosystems in South America. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Predicting outcomes of land use change on biodiversity and ecosystem services remains a key priority for ecologists, but may be particularly challenging in diverse tropical ecosystems. Trait-based approaches are a key tool to meet this challenge. Such approaches seek functional mechanisms underpinning species’ responses to environmental disturbance and contributions to ecosystem services. Here, we use a functional trait approach to study effects of land use change on stingless bee communities and on pollination services to açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea, Arecaceae) in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. We compared traits of stingless bees visiting açaí inflorescences across a land use intensity gradient (low to high forest cover) to determine: (1) the role of traits in bee species’ responses to deforestation; (2) how deforestation affects functional composition of bee communities; and (3) whether bee traits better explain variation in açaí fruit production than species diversity metrics. We found that bee species’ responses to deforestation were non-random and predicted by body size, with small-sized bees more susceptible to forest loss, and changes in functional diversity of bee communities were important for pollination services. However, not all changes in functional diversity were associated with forest loss. Together, these results suggest that: (1) large tracts of minimally disturbed tropical rainforest are vital for the conservation of diverse stingless bee communities; (2) efficient pollination is contingent on bee species not only having divergent trait values (functional dispersion), but also traits’ relative abundance in communities (functional evenness); and (3) high functional diversity in stingless bee communities buffers açaí pollination services to loss of sensitive species. Thus, conservation strategies must focus on protecting wider biodiversity, not just ecosystem services, to guarantee conservation of native eusocial bee taxa. Doing so will safeguard crop pollination services, the pollination of native plant communities, and the long-term resilience of Amazon forest ecosystems. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The eucalyptus snout beetle (ESB), Gonipterus platensis, is endemic to Australia but has become a major invasive, destructive pest of Brazilian eucalyptus plantations. Efforts to develop insecticides based on entomopathogenic fungi against ESB are limited by the lack of known virulent strains. We therefore explored the virulence of indigenous Brazilian strains of major entomopathogenic fungi—Beauveria spp. and Metarhizium anisopliae—against ESB adults. We found widely varying virulence and later capacities for conidial production on infected adult cadavers. Two strains stood out, B. bassiana IBCB-240 and M. anisopliae IBCB-364, as especially lethal for ESB adults under laboratory conditions, sporulated abundantly on infected insects, and also outperformed comparable strains used in commercial mycoinsecticides. Notably, B. bassiana IBCB-240 exhibited lower LT50 values at low inoculum levels (≤ 107 conidia mL−1) and smaller LC50 values than M. anisopliae IBCB-364. Taken together, this study emphasizes natural variation in virulence among indigenous Beauveria and Metarhizium strains against ESB adults and identifies fungal strains with superior lethality to existing commercialized strains for managing this eucalyptus pest in Brazil. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The demand for healthier foods with high nutritional value has resulted in intensive fish farming. In this production system, high-frequency infections occur, and antibiotics are administrated for control. Only two antibiotics are allowed for use in Brazilian aquaculture, one of which is florfenicol. In this work, a bioconcentration assay was performed to assess the accumulation of florfenicol in the muscle of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Tilapia was evaluated as it is the most produced fish species in Brazil. The fish were exposed to florfenicol at a nominal concentration of 10 mg/L, through the water. Muscle and water were collected at 0, 1.5, 3, 6, 24, and 48 h during the exposure phase and at 1.5, 3, 6, 24, 48, and 120 h during the depuration phase. Quantification was performed using an LC-MS/MS. The results showed rapid absorption and elimination of the antibiotic (half-life, t1/2 = 5 h), with low potential for accumulation of florfenicol in tilapia muscles. The study was performed to determine the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and withdrawal period of florfenicol, being 0.05 mL/μg and 1.8 h, respectively. The results contribute to set protocols for the safe use of florfenicol in tilapia transport, avoiding residues in fish that may pose risks to human health. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: This work reports an integrated nanosafety study including the synthesis and characterization of the graphene oxide-silver nanoparticle hybrid material (GO-AgNPs) and its nano-ecotoxicity evaluation in the zebrafish embryo model. The influences of natural organic matter (NOM) and a chorion embryo membrane were considered in this study, looking towards more environmentally realistic scenarios and standardized nanotoxicity testing. The nanohybrid was successfully synthesized using the NaBH4 aqueous method, and AgNPs (~ 5.8 nm) were evenly distributed over the GO surface. GO-AgNPs showed a dose-response acute toxicity: the LC50 was 1.5 mg L-1 for chorionated embryos. The removal of chorion, however, increased this toxic effect by 50%. Furthermore, the presence of NOM mitigated mortality, and LC50 for GO-AgNPs changed respectively from 2.3 to 1.2 mg L-1 for chorionated and de-chorionated embryos. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the ingestion of GO by embryos; but without displaying acute toxicity up to 100 mg L-1, indicating that the silver drove toxicity down. Additionally, it was observed that silver nanoparticle dissolution has a minimal effect on these observed toxicity results. Finally, understanding the influence of chorion membranes and NOM is a critical step towards the standardization of testing for zebrafish embryo toxicity in safety assessments and regulatory issues. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Global-scale forest/non-forest (FNF) maps are of crucial importance for applications like biomass estimation and deforestation monitoring. Global FNF maps based on optical remote sensing data have been produced by the wall-to-wall satellite image analyses or sampling strategies. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) also made available their global FNF maps based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. This paper attempted to answer the following scientific question: how comparable are the FNF products derived from optical and SAR data? As test sites we selected the Amazon (tropical rainforest) and Cerrado (tropical savanna) biomes, the two largest Brazilian biomes. Forest estimations from 2015 derived from TanDEM-X (X band; HH polarization) and ALOS-2 (L band; HV polarization) SAR data, as well as forest cover information derived from Landsat 8 optical data were compared with each other at the municipality and image sampling levels. The optical-based forest estimations considered in this study were derived from the MapBiomas project, a Brazilian multi-institutional project to map land use and land cover (LULC) classes of an entire country based on historical time series of Landsat data. In addition to the existing forest maps, a set of 1619 Landsat 8 RGB color composites was used to generate new independent comparison data composed of circular areas with 5-km diameter, which were visually interpreted after image segmentation. The Spearman rank correlation estimated the correlation among the data sets and the paired Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon tested the hypothesis that the data sets are statistically equal. Results showed that forest maps derived from SAR and optical satellites are statistically different regardless of biome or scale of study (municipality or image sampling), except for the Cerrado´s forest estimations derived from TanDEM-X and ALOS-2. Nevertheless, the percentage of pixels classified as forest or non-forest by both SAR sensors were 90% and 80% for the Amazon and Cerrado biome, respectively, indicating an overall good agreement. |

Mass spectra data obtained by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analyses of these extracts were compared to several databases and revealed the presence of several different cytotoxic acremonidins and acremoxanthones. The close association between the sponge and the fungi with its compounds could be of strategic importance in defending both from the high predation pressure and spatial competition in the warm-water scarps of the islands. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Several pesticides are used in the cultivation of coconut palm, hence evaluation of the residues from these substances must be analyzed in the fruit, to provide and ensure the food safety. Therefore, the development and validation of comprehensive and effective methods becomes crucial, given the complexity of the matrix. Thus, a novel method was developed for the determination of 10 different pesticides residues in coconut endosperm. QuEChERS showed to be an efficient method for sample preparation to overcome the complexity of the matrix. To extend the analytical scope, including a wide range of polarities, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC--MS/MS) were employed. Triple quadrupole spectrometer was used in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) on both detectors, providing high sensitivity and selectivity. These approaches showed to be optimal, considering the parameters of linearity (r ≥ 0.99), matrix effect (0–50 %), LOQ (5 μg kg−1, except for thiamethoxam (20 μg kg−1)), specificity, trueness (60–118 %) and precision (repeatability and within-laboratory reproducibility) ≤ 20 %. The concentration levels obtained were higher than the MRL recommended for thiamethoxam (EU regulation <10 μg kg−1), justifying the analysis of such residues in commercial coconut endosperm. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Background: The use of non-destructive methods with less human interference is of great interest in agricultural industry and crop breeding. Modern imaging technologies enable the automatic visualization of multi-parameter for characterization of biological samples, reducing subjectivity and optimizing the analysis process. Furthermore, the combination of two or more imaging techniques has contributed to discovering new physicochemical tools and interpreting datasets in real time. Results: We present a new method for automatic characterization of seed quality based on the combination of multispectral and X-ray imaging technologies. We proposed an approach using X-ray images to investigate internal tissues because seed surface profile can be negatively affected, but without reaching important internal regions of seeds. An oilseed plant (Jatropha curcas) was used as a model species, which also serves as a multi-purposed crop of economic importance worldwide. Our studies included the application of a normalized canonical discriminant analyses (nCDA) algorithm as a supervised transformation building method to obtain spatial and spectral patterns on different seedlots. We developed classification models using reflectance data and X-ray classes based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The classification models, individually or combined, showed high accuracy (> 0.96) using reflectance at 940 nm and X-ray data to predict quality traits such as normal seedlings, abnormal seedlings and dead seeds. Conclusions: Multispectral and X-ray imaging have a strong relationship with seed physiological performance. Reflectance at 940 nm and X-ray data can efficiently predict seed quality attributes. These techniques can be alternative methods for rapid, efficient, sustainable and non-destructive characterization of seed quality in the future, overcoming the intrinsic subjectivity of the conventional seed quality analysis. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Eucalypts are the most planted hardwood in the world, with 30 million ha. under cultivation. There are approximately 700 species of eucalypts, but more than 90 % of the plantations are concentrated in nine species of the Subgenus Symphyomyrtus in the Sections Exsertaria, Latoangulatae and Maidenaria. Since 2000, with the advancement of biotechnology, many species have been reclassified and regrouped according to their morphological and physiological characteristics, DNA structure and geographic distribution. This work had as its objective the formulation of a critical analysis which presents the main characteristics that will identify the species of Eucalyptus of these new sections. The species are classified mainly according to geographic distribution, where crosses occur; as evolution in the subgenus Symphyomyrtus is preferably reticulated (with backcrosses), which makes it difficult to identify the rate by molecular and morphological markers. Environmental ecological similarity will define whether the hybrid will become a new species or regress to one parent and become an ecotype. The hybrid will become a new species when it has ecological characteristics different from its parents. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Benzaldehyde and 2-hexanone are allomones produced by beagle dogs that reduce infestation by Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato on these animals and on susceptible dogs which artificially release these repellents. These observations were obtained in previous laboratory tests or artificial infestations of susceptible dogs under controlled conditions. Here we evaluated the efficacy of collars delivering these repellents for suppressing the loads of R. sanguineus s.l. on naturally infested mixed-breed dogs under field conditions. Thirty dogs naturally infested with R. sanguineus s.l. were separated into two groups with 15 dogs each. The dogs from the treatment group received the collars with slow-release formulations of the allomones, and the dogs from the control group received collars without such compounds. Collar effectiveness tests were carried out over 30 days. All ticks found were removed from each dog, identified, and counted every collection day. The density of the different life stages of R. sanguineus s.l. varied greatly between groups and across evaluation times. Adult ticks were the stage most abundant and prevalent on infested dogs. The counts for larvae, nymphs and adults were similar between the control and the treatment groups within each tick collection day. Conversely, when we considered the total number of ticks over 30 days and gathered all life stages collected in the same animal, the dogs from the control group had significantly higher loads (35.3 ± 4.27) of ticks than the dogs from the treatment group (21.8 ± 2.96) (P < 0.01). In addition, the efficacy of treatment with repellent collars was high for adult ticks (30.8%) but was extremely low for reducing larval or nymphal infestation (0 or 2.6%, respectively). The present study demonstrates, for the first time, the efficacy of these volatile compounds on naturally infested dogs under field conditions. The development of a technologically enhanced device for slow release of the allomones tested here can be an advantageous alternative for reducing R. sanguineus s.l. infestation on dogs in residential environments. |

| Conteúdo: | Enteric methane (CH4) emissions are a natural process in ruminants and can result in up to 12% of energy losses. Hence, decreasing enteric CH4 production constitutes an important step towards improving the feed efficiency of Brazilian cattle herds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between performance, residual feed intake (RFI), and enteric CH4 emission in growing Nellore cattle (Bos indicus). Performance, RFI and CH4 emission data were obtained from 489 animals participating in selection programs (mid-test age and body weight: 414±159 days and 356±135 kg, respectively) that were evaluated in 12 performance tests carried out in individual pens (n = 95) or collective paddocks (n = 394) equipped with electronic feed bunks. The sulfur hexafluoride tracer gas technique was used to measure daily CH4 emissions. The following variables were estimated: CH4 emission rate (g/day), residual methane emission and emission expressed per mid-test body weight, metabolic body weight, dry matter intake (CH4/DMI), average daily gain, and ingested gross energy (CH4/GE). Animals classified as negative RFI (RFI<0), i.e., more efficient animals, consumed less dry matter (P <0.0001) and emitted less g CH4/day (P = 0.0022) than positive RFI animals (RFI>0). Nonetheless, more efficient animals emitted more CH4/DMI and CH4/GE (P < 0.0001), suggesting that the difference in daily intake between animals is a determinant factor for the difference in daily enteric CH4 emissions. In addition, animals classified as negative RFI emitted less CH4 per kg mid-test weight and metabolic weight (P = 0.0096 and P = 0.0033, respectively), i.e., most efficient animals could emit less CH4 per kg of carcass. In conclusion, more efficient animals produced less methane when expressed as g/day and per kg mid-test weight than less efficient animals, suggesting lower emissions per kg of carcass produced. However, it is not possible to state that feed efficiency has a direct effect on enteric CH4 emissions since emissions per kg of consumed dry matter and the percentage of gross energy lost as CH4 are higher for more efficient animals. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The tick Rhipicephalus microplus poses a serious threat to the cattle industry, resulting in economic losses aggravated by tick resistance to chemical acaricides. Strains of Metarhizium spp., a well-known group of entomopathogenic fungi, can contribute to managing this ectoparasite. We explored two novel granular, microsclerotia- or blastospores-based formulations of Metarhizium robertsii for R. microplus control under semi-field conditions. Fungal persistence in soil was also observed for 336 days. The experiment used pots of Urochloa decumbens cv. Basilisk grass, treated with 0.25 or 0.5 mg of granular formulation/cm2 (25 or 50 kg/ha) applied to the soil surface prior to transferring engorged tick females onto the treated soil. The fungal granules yielded more conidia with subsequent sporulation under controlled indoor conditions than in the outdoor environment, where the levels of fungus rapidly declined over time. Metarhizium-root colonization ranged from 25 to 66.7% depending on the propagule and rate. Fungal formulations significantly reduced the number of tick larvae during the humid season, reaching at least 64.8% relative efficacy. Microsclerotia or blastospores-granular formulations of M. robertsii can reduce the impact of R. microplus, and thus prove to be a promising tool in the control of ticks. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Culturing the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana, under high glucose concentrations coupled with high aeration results in a fungal developmental shift from hyphal growth to mostly blastospores (yeast-like cells). The underlying molecular mechanisms involved in this shift remain elusive. A systematic transcriptome analysis of the differential gene expression was preformed to uncover the fungal transcriptomic response to osmotic and oxidative stresses associated with the resulting high blastospore yield. Differential gene expression was compared under moderate (10% w/v) and high (20% w/v) glucose concentrations daily for three days. The RNAseq-based transcriptomic results depicted a higher proportion of downregulated genes when the fungus was grown under 20% glucose than 10%. Additional experiments explored a broader glucose range (4, 8, 12, 16, 20% w/v) with phenotype assessment and qRT-PCR transcript abundance measurements of selected genes. Antioxidant, calcium transport, conidiation, and osmosensor-related genes were highly upregulated in higher glucose titers (16-20%) compared to growth in lower glucose (4-6%) concentrations. The class 1 hydrophobin gene (Hyd1) was highly expressed throughout the culturing. Hyd1 is known to be involved in spore coat rodlet layer assembly, and indicates that blastospores or another cell type containing hydrophobin 1 is expressed in the haemocoel during the infection process. Furthermore, we found implications of the HOG signaling pathway with upregulation of homologous genes Ssk2 and Hog1 for all fermentation time points under hyperosmotic medium (20% glucose). These findings expand our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms behind blastospore development and may help facilitate large-scale industrial production of B. bassiana blastospores for pest control applications. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The impact of ambient relative humidity (RH) on conidial production of Metarhizium humberi IP 46 microsclerotia (MS) formulated in pellets or granules was investigated, and a promising granular formulation was tested against Aedes aegypti adults to confirm its efficacy. Microcrystalline cellulose (MC) and diatomaceous earth (DE) or a combination of vermiculite (VE), DE and silicon dioxide (SD) were tested as carriers in granular formulations containing MS. A range of 93–96.5% RH was critical for fungal development, and at least 96.5–98.5% RH was required for high conidial production on pellets or granules. Conidial production was clearly higher on pellets and granules prepared with VE than MC as the main carrier. VE granules containing MS were highly active against A. aegypti adults. Most mosquitoes were killed within 6 days after treatment regardless of the exposure time of adults to the formulation (1 min–24 h) or ambient humidity (75 or >98%). Production of conidia on dead adults varied between 7.3 × 106 and 2.2 × 107 conidia/individual, when exposed to MS granules for 12 h and 1 min, respectively. Granular formulations containing VE as the main carrier and MS as the active ingredient of M. humberi have strong potential for use against A. aegypti. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The aim of this study is to present APOIA-Aquaculture, an indicator system for assessing Best Management Practices (BMPs) in tilapia cage farming. Two specific objectives were set: (1) to detail the construction and operation of APOIA-Aquaculture; and (2) to attest to its analytical feasibility for BMP assessment in six fish farms selected as contrasting ventures at the Furnas and the Ilha Solteira reservoirs, important production sites in Southeastern Brazil. The proposed APOIA-Aquaculture comprises 68 integrated indicators, grouped into a set of four managerial dimensions: Spatial Organization (22 indicators), Management and Nutrition (23), Water Quality (14), and Quality of Sediment (9). The indicators were devised as to express fish farm compliance to predefined environmental standards, selected legislation requirements, and BMP effectiveness. Results of farm assessments indicate common deficiencies in the indicators of the Spatial Organization dimension, such as those related to the lack of equipment for water quality monitoring, fish cage positioning, improper storage of feed and supplements, inadequate control of fish disease symptoms, lack of appropriate records of the use of therapeutic and prophylactic products, and conflicts related to multiple water uses. In the Management and Nutrition dimension, indicators stressed the absence of biometric checks, inadequate procedures for residue disposal, and deficient control and records of fish losses (escapes). Overall, interactions were observed among indicators of the Management and Nutrition dimension and signs of deterioration in Water and Sediment Quality, as a consequence of inadequate feeding practices. Based on our results, we demonstrate the efficacy of APOIA-Aquaculture as an analytical tool for assessment of BMPs in tilapia cage farming. Aggregate information from indicators facilitates the adoption of measures to promote specific local infrastructure and monitoring needs according to proposed BMPs, towards improving the sustainability of the fish farms. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is a persistent organic pollutant and endocrine disruptor that can compromise the steroidogenesis process by interacting with the StAR protein, causing adverse effects on male reproduction. However, consequences of prepubertal BaP exposure and its impacts on adult life are yet unknown. This study investigated the effects of BaP exposure from the juvenile period to peripubertal on reproductive parameters in adult male rats. Males were exposed to 0; 0.1; 1 or 10 ?g/kg/day of BaP from post-natal (PND) 23 to PND 53 (by gavage). The lowest dose of BaP was able to compromise the male copulatory behavior, as evidenced by the delay in the first mount, intromission and ejaculation. Furthermore, BaP-treated groups showed lower sperm quality (disrupted motility and morphology) and quantity, reduced relative weights of the thyroid and seminal gland. Serum testosterone levels and the Leydig cells nuclei volume were decreased by BaP exposure whereas the StAR expression was increased. Histopathological changes in the testis also were detected in the males exposed to BaP. These results showed that prepubertal BaP-exposure adversely influenced the male reproductive system in the adult life, indicating that a comprehensive risk assessment of BaP-exposure on prepubertal period is necessary. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Background: Ascorbic acid (AA) is a micronutrient essential for the mechanisms of reproduction, growth, and defense in fish. However, the biosynthesis of this micronutrient does not occur in fish, so it must be supplied with food. A difficulty is that plain AA is unstable, due to the effects of light, high temperature, and oxygen, among others. The use of nanoencapsulation may provide protection and preserve the physicochemical characteristics of AA for extended periods of time, decreasing losses due to environmental factors. Method: This study evaluated the protective effect of nanoencapsulation in polymeric nanoparticles (chitosan and polycaprolactone) against AA degradation. Evaluation was made of the physicochemical stability of the nanoformulations over time, as well as the toxicological effects in zebrafish (Danio rerio), considering behavior, development, and enzymatic activity. For the statistical tests, ANOVA (two-way, significance of p < 0.05) was used. Results: Both nanoparticle formulations showed high encapsulation efficiency and good physicochemical stability during 90 days. Chitosan (CS) and polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles loaded with AA had mean diameters of 314 and 303 nm and polydispersity indexes of 0.36 and 0.28, respectively. Both nanosystems provided protection against degradation of AA exposed to an oxidizing agent, compared to plain AA. Total degradation of AA was observed after 7, 20, and 480 min for plain AA, the CS nanoparticle formulation, and the PCL nanoparticle formulation, respectively. For zebrafish larvae, the LC50 values were 330.7, 57.4, and 179.6 mg/L for plain AA, the CS nanoparticle formulation, and the PCL nanoparticle formulation, respectively. In toxicity assays using AA at a concentration of 50 mg/L, both types of nanoparticles loaded with AA showed lower toxicity towards the development of the zebrafish, compared to plain AA at the same concentration. Although decreased activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) did not affect the swimming behavior of zebrafish larvae in the groups evaluated, it may have been associated with the observed morphometric changes, such as curvature of the tail. Conclusions: This study showed that the use of nanosystems is promising for fish nutritional supplementation in aquaculture. In particular, PCL nanoparticles loaded with AA seemed to be most promising, due to higher protection against AA degradation, as well as lower toxicity to zebrafish, compared to the chitosan nanoparticles. The use of nanotechnology opens new perspectives for aquaculture, enabling the reduction of feed nutrient losses, leading to faster fish growth and improved sustainability of this activity. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of biogas production implemented by family farmers organized in a cooperative agroenergy condominium. Evidences of changes in socioenvironmental performance were obtained through field observations and queries to the farmers. Observed ‘change coefficients’ were inserted into multicriteria indicators, weighted by their spatial scale of occurrence in the rural establishments, and impact indices were calculated for a set of seven characterization aspects (technological efficiency, environmental quality, productive process, employment, income, health, and management, and administration), integrated in 23 criteria and 123 indicators. The resulting impact indices of the implementation of the cooperative agroenergy condominium pointed out to positive performances in most of the criteria, with occasional transitory negative indices in specific indicators, related to farmers’ particular contexts. Statistically significant positive results were obtained for seven of the ten Ecological impact criteria, as follows (i) use of agricultural inputs and resources; (ii) energy consumption; (iii) self-generation, utilization, reuse, and autonomy in the agricultural area; (iv) energy security; (v) emissions to the atmosphere; (vi) soil quality, and (vii) water quality. In the Socioenvironmental impacts dimension, statistically significant positive results were found for the following criteria: (i) productivity; (ii) productive integration in the concept of biorefinery/Ecopark; (iii) training; (iv) qualification and availability of work; (v) income generation; (vi) waste disposal, and (vii) institutional relationship. The agroenergy condominium contributed to reducing environmental impacts, promoting productive efficiency and improving income generation in the cooperating family farms. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: One possible alternative to chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment and prevention of diseases in fish farms is the use of Piper aduncum essential oil. However, ecotoxicological data are required to ensure its proper use and to prevent adverse effects on non-target organisms. These data are relevant since this essential oil is described as having insecticidal, molluscicidal and cytotoxic activitiy that may be associated with its chemical composition. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ecotoxicity of P. aduncum essential oil to five test organisms using the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) statistical approach. The chemical composition of the essential oil was characterized by means of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) for identification and quantitation purposes, respectively. The main component (75.5%) of the essential oil was dillapiole. The hazardous concentration for 5% of biological species (HC5) was calculated to determine the 95% protection level, resulting in a value of 0.47 mg L-1 (with a confidence interval of 0.028 - 1.19 mg L-1. ). A concentration range related to the level of protection for aquatic communities (the predicted no-effect concentration, PNEC) was determined through the application of safety factors to the HC5 value. The ecotoxicity parameters showed that P. aduncum essential oil can be used safely in water bodies at a concentration equal to or below 0.09 mg L-1.
Resumo: Uma possível alternativa ao uso de fármacos veterinários no tratamento e prevenção de doenças na piscicultura é o uso do óleo essencial de Piper aduncum. No entanto, são necessários dados ecotoxicológicos para garantir seu uso apropriado sem causar efeitos adversos a organismos não alvo. Esta informação é relevante, pois esse óleo essencial é descrito como tendo atividades inseticidas, moluscicidas e citotóxicas, possivelmente associadas à sua composição química. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ecotoxicidade do óleo essencial de P. aduncum para cinco organismos-teste, usando o método estatístico da Distribuição da Sensibilidade das Espécies (SSD). A composição química do óleo essencial foi caracterizada por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massa (GC-MS) e cromatografia gasosa com detector de ionização de chama (GC-FID), para fins de identificação e quantificação, respectivamente. O principal componente (75,5%) do óleo essencial foi o dilapiol. A concentração perigosa para 5% de espécies biológicas (HC5) foi calculada com um nível de proteção de 95%, resultando em um valor de 0,47 mg L-1 (com intervalo de confiança de 50% = 0,028 - 1,19 mg L-1). A faixa de concentração relacionada aos níveis de proteção para comunidades aquáticas (concentração sem efeito previsto - PNEC) foi calculada através da aplicação de fatores de segurança ao valor de HC5. Os parâmetros de ecotoxicidade indicaram que o óleo essencial de P. aduncum pode ser usado com segurança em corpos d’água se a concentração for igual ou inferior a 0,09 mg L-1. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: This work augments research on masting for the economically important tropical tree Carapa guianensis Aublet, specifically on whether determinants of mast years vary regionally, spatially, and due to longer term ENSO climate patterns. Longer term measurements (an 11-year period in Acre and Roraima; 4 years and 8 months in Amapá) from three regions of the Brazilian Amazon allowed for the analysis of whether climate cues were regionally consistent for this species. We used generalized linear mixed models, to determine which factors were significant in predicting whether trees would produce in a given year and to model the seed production quantity. We found a positive effect of increasing the diameter at breast height (dbh) on the quantity and likelihood of seed production. Our results also suggested that ecosystems and climate cues may jointly affect seed production. In flooded forests, increases in dry season rainfall had a negative impact on the likelihood of seed production whilst none of the precipitation variables investigated influenced the quantity of seeds produced. In drier terra firme forests in Acre with extended dry seasons, increases in dry season precipitation had significant and positive impacts on both the likelihood and the quantity of seed production. Our results illustrate the importance of considering plant habitat and climate to better understand individual and regional differences in seed production and their responses to inter-annual climate variation. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Leaves in different positions respond differently to dynamic fluctuations in light availability, temperature and to multiple environmental stresses. The current hypothesis states that elevated atmospheric CO2 (e[CO2]) can compensate for the negative effects of water scarcity regarding leaf gas exchanges and coffee bean quality traits over the canopy vertical profile, in interactions with light and temperature microclimate during the two final stages of berry development. Responses of Coffea arabica L. were observed in the 5th year of a free air CO2 enrichment experiment (FACE) under water-limited rainfed conditions. The light dependent leaf photosynthesis curves (A/PAR) were modelled for leaves sampled from vertical profile divided into four 50-cm thick layers. e[CO2] significantly increased gross photosynthesis (AmaxGross), the apparent quantum yield efficiency, light compensation point, light saturation point (LSP) and dark respiration rate (Rd). As a specific stage response, considering berry ripening, all parameters calculated from A/PAR were insensitive to leaf position over the vertical profile. Lack of a progressive increase in AmaxGross and LSP was observed over the whole canopy profile in both stages, especially in the two lowest layers, indicating leaf plasticity to light. Negative correlation of Rd to leaf temperature (TL) was observed under e[CO2] in both stages. Under e[CO2], stomatal conductance was also negatively correlated with TL, reducing leaf transpiration and Rd even with increasing TL. This indicated coffee leaf acclimation to elevated temperatures under e[CO2] and water restriction. The e[CO2] attenuation occurred under water restriction, especially in A and water use efficiency, in both stages, with the exception of the lowest two layers. Under e[CO2], coffee produced berries in moderate- and high light level layers, with homogeneous distribution among them, contrasted to the heterogeneous distribution under actual CO2. e[CO2] led to increased caffeine content in the highest layer, with reduction of chlorogenic acid and lipids under moderate light and to raised levels of sugar in the shaded low layer. The ability of coffee to respond to e[CO2] under limited soil water was expressed through the integrated individual leaf capacities to use the available light and water, resulting in final plant investments in new reproductive structures in moderate and high light level layers. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Syagrus coronata known as licuri, ouricuri, or uricuri is a palm tree from dried areas in Brazil and it is an important resource for the local population. The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional value of licuri kernels from the Territory of Sisal (State of Bahia) and to develop cookies prepared with licuri kernels and cassava flour. The licuri kernel showed high content of total dietary fiber (13 -15%) with values equivalent to that observed for coconut kernel. The content of minerals such as zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, and copper was similar to those recorded for commercial nuts and superior to coconut kernel. The licuri kernel presented an oil content of 61-66%, with a predominance of lauric acid. The main sterols were Sitosterol, Campesterol and ?5-avenasterol. The formulations of cookies with licuri kernel (5 and 10%) and commercial cassava flour (4.5 and 9%) showed no differences in general acceptance, aroma, flavor, and texture. The kernel of Syagrus coronata represents an important source of dietary fiber, lipids, and minerals and the results indicate that besides its traditional application, this use represents the increasing the nutritional value of cookies in compliance with global trends. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum and Meloidogyne incognita cause large losses in cotton productivity. These pathogens can occur simultaneously, resulting in a Fusarium-nematode complex, which strengthens the destructive power when compared to the pathogens alone. Due to the ineffectiveness of chemicals, and to the fact that chemicals pesticides are responsible for releasing residues into the environment, more attention has been given to biocontrol. Bacillus are recognized by their ability to control plant-parasitic pathogens. However, since Fusarium and Meloidogyne often occur simultaneously, and the resulting complex causes more losses than each pathogen alone, selecting bioagents that act against both pathogens simultaneously is important, and this is the objective of this study. Among 40 Bacillus strains obtained from cotton rhizosphere and other sites, the most efficient ones were selected to inhibit mycelial growth and spore germination of Fusarium, cause J2 mortality and inhibit hatching of M. incognita. Forty Bacillus strains were evaluated both through biochemical tests related to plant growth promotion (indoleacetic acid, siderophores, and cyanhydric acid production; catalase activities; nitrogen fixation and phosphate solubilization) and root colonization. Strains S2531, S2535, S2545, S2548, S2552, S2554, S2555, and S2557 showed >4 positive responses for biochemical tests. Strains S2527, S2535, S2538, S2545, S2573, AP03, AP115, AP117, AP210, QST713 colonized cotton roots. Strains S2535, S2543, S2545, S2557, S2560, S2564, AP03, AP10, AP115, and AP117 inhibited mycelial growth of Fusarium. The most efficient strains for the inhibition of microconidia germination were S2545, S2548, AP115, AP03, and S2543. Strains AP117, S2527, S2530, S2538, S2560, and S2569 showed the highest mortality of J2. Strains S2527, S2557, S2569 and AP03 were the ones with the lowest area under hatching progress curve. Overall, strains AP03, S2527 and S2545 were selected to evaluate the control of the complex Fusarium-nematodes in cotton plants. These three strains were identified as Bacillus velezensis. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The coconut tree is considered one of the greatest consumers of irrigation water, ranging from 100 to 240 L day−1. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of biochar application on decreased irrigation water needs in a 2-year irrigated dwarf coconut palm orchard field experiment. Biochar was characterized chemically and by electron microscope images. Biochar morphology presented several micropores indicating water retention potential. Amounts of biochar were tested (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 g of biochar per kg of soil), representing 0.0; 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; and 4.0 kg per plant. Micro sprinkler irrigation started following the planting of the 90-day old hybrid dwarf coconut seedlings. The impacts of the application of the biochar on the chemical attributes of the soil, biometry of the coconut plants, water storage in the 0–0.3 m soil layer, and the volume of irrigation water required by treatment were evaluated. After two years (2017 and 2018), the application of the biochar resulted in no statistically significant differences in the chemical attributes of the soil and biometric variables of plants between different treatments. The volume of annual irrigation water per plant versus biochar quantity demonstrated a decreasing effect, due to the increase of soil water storage. The dose of 40 g of biochar per kg of soil presented the highest two-year average soil water retention (0–0.3 m layer) among treatments (34, 36, 34, 38, and 45 mm, respectively), resulting in lower 2-year irrigation water demand (28, 36, 29, 28 and 20 L plant−1 day−1, respectively). |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Essential oils have been used in aquaculture due to their wide range of biological activities. However, even though they have a potentially low risk for fish, it is necessary to assess the risks to nontarget organisms to guarantee their safe use in the environment. Here, we assessed the acute toxicity on the model organism Daphnia magna of seven essential oils of interest in aquaculture (Lippia alba, Lippia gracilis, Lippia sidoides, Mentha arvensis, Mentha piperita, Ocimum gratissimum and Piper callosum). Furthermore, we also studied the chemical composition of essential oils using gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) to relate toxicity to the chemical composition. The half maximal effective concentration values during 48 hours of exposure (EC50‐48 h) of the essential oils for D. magna showed toxicity ranging from moderately (EC50‐48 h 3.59 mg/L for L. gracilis, followed by L. sidoides, L. alba and O. gratissimum) to slightly toxic (EC50‐48 h 43.74 mg/L for M. piperita as the least toxic, M. arvensis and P. callosum). Thus, for the purpose of establishing ecologically safe therapeutic protocols, the correct use of these substances in aquaculture should be considered, as the toxicity of the essential oils observed indicates potential interference with the nontarget organism D. magna. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Medicinal plants are still the major source of therapies for several illnesses and only part of the herbal products originates from cultivated biomass. Wild harvests represent the major supply for therapies, and such practices threaten species diversity as well as the quality and safety of the final products. This work intends to show the relevance of developing medicinal plants into crops and the use of micropropagation as technique to mass produce high-demand biomass, thus solving the supply issues of therapeutic natural substances. Herein, the review includes examples of in vitro procedures and their role in the crop development of pharmaceuticals, phytomedicinals, and functional foods. Additionally, it describes the production of high-yielding genotypes, uniform clones from highly heterozygous plants, and the identification of elite phenotypes using bioassays as a selection tool. Finally, we explore the significance of micropropagation techniques for the following: a) pharmaceutical crops for production of small therapeutic molecules (STM), b) phytomedicinal crops for production of standardized therapeutic natural products, and c) the micropropagation of plants for the production of large therapeutic molecules (LTM) including fructooligosaccharides classified as prebiotic and functional food crops. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: With the expanding use of thermal assessment techniques in beef cattle, infrared thermography has become a promising tool for assessing the environment for animal thermal comfort. Goals of this study were: (1) to evaluate cattle thermal comfort in agroforestry systems with different shade availability (2) to verify the spatiotemporal variations of infrared temperature inside agroforestry systems, and; (3) to test infrared thermography as a potential tool to assess animal thermal comfort indices in agroforestry systems. A trial was carried out between June 2015 and February 2016, covering Central-Brazil’s dry winter and rainy summer seasons, respectively. The experimental area of Embrapa Beef Cattle is located in Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul), coordinates 20°24′53″ S, 54°42′26″ W and 558 m altitude. The 12 ha plot has two agroforestry systems varying shade availability. Traditional Black Globe Temperature and Humidity Index, Heat Load Index and Radiation Thermal Load were determined, from measurements using digital thermo-hygrometers, with datalogger. Surface temperature and humidity of tree canopies and pasture were determined using an infrared thermographic camera. Results show spatiotemporal variations in infrared temperature. This means that the environment inside agroforestry systems is not homogeneously comfortable for cattle, and the system with the lowest shade availability has the greatest heat accumulation area. Weak to strong associations were identified between infrared variables and thermal comfort indices (0.08 = r ≤ 0.75). Positive relationships were also obtained and equally well explained by the Black Globe Temperature and Humidity Index and Heat Load Index (0.55 = R2 ≤ 0.94). We conclude that infrared thermography can be used as a tool to assess thermal comfort indices in agroforestry systems and to determine onset of animal thermal stress from environment and heat body accumulation. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is the most destructive banana disease in Brazil. Different epidemic rates of FWB are commonly observed in certain plots of monocrop plantations suggesting that factors suppressing or boosting the disease are in place. The identification and management of predisposing factors to FWB offer a pathway to better management practices and reduced yield losses. In this study, chemical and physical soil attributes and the nutritional status of plants in Foc infested (Foc+) and healthy (Foc−) plots in two contrasting banana production systems in São Paulo, Brazil, were analyzed. Nine farms placed in Vale do Ribeira (VR; N = 5) and São Bento do Sapucaí (SBS; N = 4) were assessed. In VR, where more chemical fertilizers are used, FWB was associated with higher soil acidity and lower levels of phosphorous (P), calcium (Ca), and manganese (Mn). In addition, lower values of base saturation were found in Foc+ than in Foc− plots. In SBS, where chemical fertilizers are rarely used, soil chemical attributes were not associated with FWB, except boron (B), which showed lower values in Foc+ than in Foc− plots. However, physical attributes (bulk density and penetration resistance) showed higher values in Foc+ than Foc− plots in SBS. These attributes were not associated with FWB in any of the VR’s farms. Our data also suggest that FWB can significantly affect the plant’s nutritional status. Cations (Ca and K) and their ratios with nitrogen (N) were lower in plant leaves from Foc+ than from Foc− plots in both production systems. The impact of soil management practices on FWB intensity and the need for site-specific approaches to better understand and support disease management strategies are discussed. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Modelling studies on climate change predict continuous increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration [CO2] and increase in temperature. This may alter carbon-based phytochemicals such phenolics and modify plant interactions with herbivorous. We investigated the effects of enhanced [CO2] and local climatic variation on young coffee plants, Coffea arabica L. cv Catuaí vermelho IAC-144 and Obatã vermelho IAC-1669-20, cultivated in the FACE (Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment) facility under two atmospheric [CO2] conditions. Coffee leaves were evaluated for total soluble phenolics (TSP), chlorogenic (5-CQA) and caffeic (CAF) acids, diversity and population size of mites, along two dry and two rainy seasons. Elevated atmospheric CO2 (e[CO2]) significantly decreased 5-CQA in cv. Catuaí but did not affect cv. Obatã. Species richness and population size of mites in coffee leaves were not affected by e[CO2] but were strongly related to the seasonal variability of coffee leaf phenolics. In general, high levels of phenolics were negatively correlated with population size while the mite species richness were negatively correlated with 5-CQA and TSP levels. Our fi ndings show that [CO2] enhancement affects phenolics in coffee plants differentially by cultivars, however seasonality is the key determinant of phenolics composition, mite species richness and population size. |

This association has been proven by scientific studies that describe their composition and biological activities. The aim of this study is to portray the state of the art on research regarding stingless bee honey. The search for standards that guide the trade of these products is still portrayed as a future perspective, since there are significant differences in relation to honey from Apis mellifera and it often requires additional treatments. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Males can control female reproduction using genital plugs to impede access by rivals. In social bees, ants, and wasps, plugging may involve traumatic mating, with females being harmed. In stingless bees, chances are that plugs may promote ovarian activan, and are thought to ensure single mating—a general tendency among the social Hymenoptera. However, understanding on relationships between mating plugs, traumatic mating, and mating systems in stingless bees remains limited. To address this, we (1) compared mated queens of 7 Neotropical species to understand the patterns of copulatory marks in females and (2) compared pre- and post-mating genitalia of males and females in Melipona fasciculata to depict plug functional morphology. Data revealed an unprecedented consequence of mating in stingless bees: the characteristic marks left by mating plugs on female abdomens and the inferences that can be made from them. To our surprise, in 1 species M. fasciculata we found that queens retain the plug long after mating, and may carry it for the rest of their lives. All the other 6 species retained the plug for only a short period. Remated queens were only found in M. seminigra, whose multiple copulatory marks match previous findings of polyandry in this species. Our study shows that queens can remate, and suggests that male genital morphology may determine in part the time persistence of plugs. We conclude that traumatic mating plugs do not fully prevent remating in stingless bees and that mating systems are not uniform in this group. Nonetheless, exceptional cases of facultative polyandry in social insects—for example, when mating plugs fail—may confirm a general tendency for single mating in close link with efficient mating plugs. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Galia melon is an important commodity for Brazilian fresh fruit exports. Significant losses in harvested melon have been attributed to decay, especially caused by Fusarium pallidoroseum, the causal agent of Fusarium rot. Nowadays, the demand for an effective and safe approach to manage postharvest disease has increased. In the current study, two methods of control were studied: UV-C radiation at 2 kJ/m2 and hot water treatment (HWT), which were tested in two different ways. Some fruits were immersed (hot water dipping, HWD) at 52 °C for 2 min, and others were hot water brushed (HWB) at 55, 60, 65, and 70 °C for 15 s. The influence of the treatments on the quality of melon was evaluated by physicochemical parameters, respiration and ethylene emission measurement, and enzymatic analysis. The in vitro tests showed that the dose of 1.0 kJ/m2 of UV-C and the heat treatment at 55 °C for 15 s completely inhibited the spore germination of F. pallidoroseum. HWT by HWD at 52 °C for 2 min and HWB at 65 °C for 15 s, similarly to UVC treatment at 2 kJ/m2, efficiently controlled Fusarium rot in Galia melon, not differing from the imazalil fungicide (100 g a.i./100L) treatment. The UV-C radiation reduced the activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase at specific days of storage. The climacteric peak of respiration occurred on the 16th day for all treatments, and the intensity was significantly lower for UV-C treatment. Ethylene production was not remarkably affected. Consumer acceptance evaluation indicated that fruit treated by heat and UV-C presented better appearance on the 20th day of storage. Those treatments preserved the overall quality of the fruit, delaying the onset of rot symptoms, thus increasing shelf life. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Aim: This study aimed to screen halotolerant Bacillus strains able to promote growth and protect tomato plants against salt stress and Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici). Methods and Results: We evaluated some halotolerant strains of Bacillus spp. (Bacillus velezensis (AP‐3) and Bacillus spp. (AP‐6, AP‐85 and AP‐100)) to promote growth of tomato plants grown under salinity stress conditions and to protect them against Fusarium wilt disease. Such strains had been previously selected among 154 bacterial strains through biochemical tests (siderophores and indoleacetic acid productions, cellulase and catalase activity, nitrogen fixation and phosphate solubilization) in the presence of 100‐mmol l−1 NaCl. Besides the above‐mentioned strains, B. subtilis QST‐713 (SerenadeTM) was also evaluated. Compared to control plants, aboveground dry weight increased in plants inoculated with AP‐6, AP‐85, AP‐3, AP‐100 and QST‐713 strains developed in the absence of salt stress. The same tendency occurred for root dry weight; however, AP‐3 strain was more effective, promoting an increase of 163%, when compared to control. Chlorophyll index and height increased >40 and 53%, respectively, for all Bacillus strains. Saline stress reduced plant growth regardless of the presence of Bacillus. Height, stem diameter, and aboveground and root dry weights increased in plants treated with Bacillus strains grown under saline conditions when compared to control. Bacillus velezensis AP‐3 reduced the severity of Fusarium wilt in tomato by 50% when compared to control. Conclusion: Halotolerant Bacillus strains controlled tomato Fusarium wilt, increased growth as well as tolerance to salt stress. Significance and Impact of the Study: We demonstrated the efficacy of halotolerant Bacillus strains to control Fusarium wilt and improve tomato growth. We also demonstrated that these Bacillus strains protect tomato plants against salt stress. Bacillus can be used in an eco‐friendly way because they are considered Generally Recognized As Safe. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Studies have demonstrated that Benzo(a)Pyrene (BaP), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ubiquituous in the environment, can cause teratogenic effects. Since the majority of studies used in vitro models or high doses of BaP, this study evaluated the teratogenicity, reproductive and developmental performance of low doses of BaP through maternal and fetus examination after daily oral administration of BaP (0; 0.1; 1.0 or 10 μg/kg) to pregnant Wistar rats from Gestational day (GD) 6 to GD 15 (the organogenesis period). Pregnant rats did not exhibit clinical signs of toxicity during the exposure period. However, dams exposed to the lowest dose of BaP showed a reduction in the erythrocytes number and in the creatinine levels. The groups exposed to 0.1 and 1.0 μg/kg presented a decrease in placental efficiency, as well as an increase in placental weight. After fetal examination, the treated group with the lowest dose showed a reduced relative anogenital distance, while the curve of normal distribution of weight was changed in the highest dose group. In addition, anomalies evidenced by changes in the renal size and degree of fetal ossification were observed in treated-fetus. In conclusion, treatment with BaP during organogenesis at this dose level is detrimental to the normal development of fetuses. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: We characterized the bacterial community in shoot and rhizosphere of healthy adult soybean plants grown in two differentially managed soils. Then, these communities were transplanted to seeds to assess their effect on seedling development. The bacterial communities of inoculated soybean seedlings were assessed through 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and seedlings’ growth was measured. The diversity in the bacterial consortium inoculum prepared from the rhizosphere was higher than those from the shoot. However, the application of bacterial consortium in seedling had no influence on diversity. The resulting bacterial community of seedlings inoculated with bacterial consortium presented an enrichment of specific plant growth-promoting groups, such as Gammaproteobacteria (Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and Xanthomonas). The predicted potential functions showed an increased abundance of functions related to plant protection and nutrition. The application of bacterial consortium from the shoot of soybean plants grown in the soil with a previous history of soybean cultivation increased the seedling radicle length, hypocotyl length, and total dry weight by 44%, 30%, and 29%, respectively. Our study showed that selecting a consortium of indigenous microbes as inoculants is a potential approach to enhance the use and impacts of plant beneficial microorganisms on plant growth and possibly productivity. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Many types of nanocomposites employed in food packaging are based on silver nanoparticles (AgNP) because of their antibacterial properties, which can increase food shelf-life. As the commercialization of AgNP products has been expanding, the released of such nanoparticles in the environment has caused enormous concern, once they can pose potential risks to the environment and human beings. For instance, exposure of the maternal environment to nanomaterials during pregnancy may impact the health of the dam, fetus and offspring. In this context, here we investigated the effects of prenatal exposure of AgNP on the pregnancy outcomes of dams and postnatal development of their offspring. Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to distinct AgNP concentrations (0, 1, 3 and 5 μg/kg/day) from beginning to the end of pregnancy. At parturition, newborns were observed regarding clinical signs of toxicity and survival rate. The offspring was examined by evaluating developmental endpoints. A delay in time for vaginal opening and testes descent were detected in the offspring exposed to AgNP during embryonic development. Our results indicate that prenatal exposure to AgNP can compromise neonatal rats’ postnatal development, especially the reproductive features. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: An extraordinary moment of agricultural modernization is currently underway due to innovations in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In this process, management precepts are renewed, fostering significant gains in efficiency, productivity, and sustainable use of natural resources and the environment. The growing supply of ICTs and the extension of connectivity in rural areas, with their transforming roles in productive practices and economic relations, bring about questions regarding their impacts. These technologies include precision positioning systems and large volume databases, electronic sensors of site-specific production and environmental conditions, repositories of relational data, statistical and crop forecasting software, methodologies and processes; web-based information services, among others. The assessment of impacts focused on ICTs for agriculture needs innovative approaches, due to the peculiarities of their applications, the different scales of their socioenvironmental scopes and, at the same time, the verification of effectiveness of institutional investments on research, development, and innovation (RD&I). Based on these premises, the objectives of this work are to present a ?module of impact indicators for Information and Communication Technologies (Ambitec-TICs)?, and assess its application to six typical technology adoption cases resulting from agricultural RD&I projects. The results detail critical analyses of the contributions of the proposed module for the registration, interpretation, and communication of impacts, with recommendations for technology transfer and accountability in institutional Social Balance documentation |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Wheat is one of the world’s most important crops, but its production relies heavily on agrochemical inputs which can be harmful to the environment when used excessively. It is well known that a multitude of microbes interact with eukaryotic organisms, including plants, and the sum of microbes and their functions associated with a given host is termed the microbiome. Plant-microbe interactions can be beneficial, neutral or harmful to the host plant. Over the last decade, with the development of next generation DNA sequencing technology, our understanding of the plant microbiome structure has dramatically increased. Considering that defining the wheat microbiome is key to leverage crop production in a sustainable way, here we describe how different factors drive microbiome assembly in wheat, including crop management, edaphic-environmental conditions and host selection. In addition, we highlight the benefits to take a multidisciplinary approach to define and explore the wheat core microbiome to generate solutions based on microbial (synthetic) communities or single inoculants. Advances in plant microbiome research will facilitate the development of microbial strategies to guarantee a sustainable intensification of crop production. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The effect of pasture management on CH4 emissions was investigated from goats in a tropical climate. Two experiments were conducted in a “Tanzania Guinea grass” (Panicum maximum Jacq.) pasture to assess enteric CH4 production in a completely randomized design. Emissions from light, moderate, and heavy grazing intensities were analyzed in the first experiment, and variations between grazing days were explored in the second experiment. Grazing intensity was defined as 2.4, 1.6, and 0.8 post-grazing leaf area index. Pasture management employed intermittent grazing with variable stocking rate using Anglo Nubian female adult goats. SF6 tracer gas technique was used to measure CH4 production. Grazing intensity was not found to affect CH4 emissions per animal, dry matter forage intake (DMI), and gross energy (GE) intake. However, the second experiment showed that CH4 production was influenced by the grazing day. CH4 emissions were 18.1 g day-1, and the variables were 0.88 g kg-1 of metabolic weight, 17.45 g kg-1 of DMI, and 5.5% of GE. CH4 production increased linearly with the grazing day, possibly reflecting a reduction in forage quality. These findings suggest that the day of occupation in intermittent grazing has a greater effect on CH4 emissions than that by grazing intensity and that a single day grazing of Tanzania Guinea grass could mitigate CH4 emissions. |

To explore its use as an insecticide, we studied the effect of the seed extract from green fruit and the seed oils from the mature and dried fruit of J. curcas on the green aphid Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Seven concentrations of extracts and oils of different maturation stages of fruits were used and sprayed with the Potter Spray Tower on cabbage leaves containing 10 individuals of M. persicae. Ten repetitions for each concentration were carried out at each stage of maturation (green, ripe, and dry), and the evaluation of the mortality of individuals occurred for a period of 72 hours. The maturation stage of J. curcas, as well as the concentration and time after the application, influenced the mortality of M. persicae. The best results were obtained 48h after applying the dried fruit oil at 2.5% and 72 hours after the application of dry and ripe fruit oil at 2.5%. |

Onze isolados de Bacillus spp. foram testados quanto às características bioquímicas relacionadas com promoção de crescimento (produção de ácido cianídrico, ácido indolacético, sideroforos e catalase; solubilização de fosfato e assimilação de nitrogênio). Ainda in vitro foi avaliada a habilidade dos isolados de Bacillus em inibir o crescimento micelial e a germinação de conídios de F. verticillioides. Em casa de vegetação foi avaliado o efeito dos isolados de Bacillus spp. na promoção de crescimento e no controle de F. verticillioides em duas variedades de milho. Bacillus velezensis AP03 e Bacillus sp. AP-210, não somente inibiram o crescimento micelial e a germinação de esporos, mas também promoveram o crescimento das plantas e controlaram F. verticillioides em sementes de milho em condições de casa de vegetação. |

| Conteúdo: | Resumo: A ecologia de paisagens espaciais é uma ciência interdisciplinar que entende as relações entre padrões e ecológicos considerando diferentes escalas de processos e temporais. Os avanços dessa ciência estão sendo sustentados pelo desenvolvimento rápido de um arcabouço metodológico largamente baseado em Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG). Assim como as abordagens de paisagens ecológicas são permitidas, por exemplo, compreender como processos ecológicos são, pelas atividades e atividades antrópicas profundas aos ecossistemas, como a perda de fragmentação de habitats. Apesar de comumente aplicado aos estudos em ecossistemas terrestres, existe uma defasagem do desenvolvimento teórico e metodológico da ecologia de paisagens aplicadas a estudos em riachos, especialmente no Brasil. Pensando como particulares dos ambientes abertos em relação aos, metodológicas são visíveis. Por exemplo, os riachos possuem uma organização espacial hierárquica que resulta em condições locais dependentes do contexto regional. Os riachos estão localizados juntos à paisagem de escalas e temporais. Esta conectividade hidrológica, e uma baixa proporção de áreas aquáticas, resulta em relação a uma área terrestre das redes hidrográficas, por sua vez, que impactos ao longo das redes se acumulam. Considerando o exposto, os objetivos deste estudo são: (1) Introduzir os conceitos gerais da ecologia de paisagens; (2) Apresentar os principais métodos de aquisição e de dados espaciais relevantes para gerenciamentos de métodos; (3) Descrever as escalas espaciais e temporais relevantes à ecologia de riacho; e (4) Discutir o potencial da ecologia de paisagens para uma avaliação de impactos antrópicos aos riachos. A ecologia de paisagens tem muito a oferecer aos estudos de peixes de riachos no Brasil e tem se mostrar uma abordagem promissória para os avanços nessa fronteira do conhecimento. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: A series of 18 2-arylidene indan-1,3-dione derivatives was synthesized and tested against Daphnia magna to assess the environmental toxicity of these compounds. Aiming to investigate the toxicity mechanism for this series of compounds, a four-dimensional quantitative structure–activity analysis (4D-QSAR) was performed through the partial least square regression (PLS). The best PLS model was built with two factors and the selected field descriptors, of Coulomb (C) and Lennard-Jones (L) nature, describing 77.43% of variance and presenting the following statistics: r 2 = 0.89; SEC = 0.30; Q 2 = 0.81; SEV = 0.36. According to the literature, the bioactivity of α,β-unsaturated ketones, a functionality present in the series of compounds under investigation, is related to the conjugated double bond with the carbonyl group. The presence of a positive Coulomb descriptor nearby the carbonyl moieties, obtained as a result of the regression model, indicates that these polar groups are also related to the toxicity on D. magna. From the PLS regression model, the toxicity EC50-48 h values increases with the positive Coulomb descriptor and diminishes with the negative Lennard-Jones descriptors. It could be concluded that the presence of small polar groups in the aromatic ring of the arylidene moiety tends to increase the toxicity, while bulkier apolar substituents lead to a decrease of the toxicity. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The Brazilian sugarcane sector has increased the adoption of conservation practices based both on mechanized harvest without burning and on the use of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) to improve crop sustainability. However, there is no information about the impact of these practices on sugarcane diseases. This study aims at investigating the effect of conservation practices on the incidence and severity of spontaneous sugarcane diseases, considering soil tillage, planting season, residue maintenance, and sources of nitrogenous fertilizers. Two experiments were conducted, being one during the cane-plant cycle and the other carried out throughout the sugarcane cycle until the second ratoon. The simultaneous occurrences of ring spot, caused by Leptosphaeria sacchari Breda de Haan, and red rot leaf infection, caused by Colletotrichum falcatum Went, were the only diseases observed in the experiments regardless of the conservation practices. The use of reduced tillage, conventional tillage, and non-tillage as well as the planting season and the depth of the sugarcane trash layer did not influence the severity of the diseases. However, BNF reduced the severity of foliar diseases in the first and second ratoons. The overall disease severity affected the dry biomass of sugarcane in the first ratoon. The results can assist disease management strategies considering the new scenario of sugarcane production in Brazil. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Granular microsclerotial formulations of entomopathogenic fungi deserve attention because of their post-application, in situ production of new conidia that enhance and prolong mycoinsecticidal efficacy against a target pest insect. Because high ambient moisture is a crucial condition to induce fungal development and conidiogenesis on granules, we tested the impacts of the additions of three humectants?glycerin, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol 400?on water absorption by pellets incorporating microsclerotia of Metarhizium humberi IP 46 with microcrystalline cellulose or vermiculite carriers, and on the production of infective conidia of IP 46 microsclerotia in ambient humidities suboptimal for routine conidiogenesis. Glycerin facilitated greater and faster absorption of water than the other humectants. Microcrystalline cellulose absorbed low quantities of water without any added humectant whereas vermiculite did not. IP 46 did not grow or sporulate on pellets prepared with or without glycerin at 86% relative humidity (RH) or on control pellets without glycerin at 91% RH; conidial production on pellets prepared with vermiculite or microcrystalline cellulose and 10% glycerin reached 1.1???105?conidia/mg and 1???105?conidia/mg, respectively, after 20 days of exposure at 91% RH. Hence, these results strongly support glycerin as a suitable humectant for granular microsclerotial formulations of this fungus. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Weed management consists of a fundamental practice in cassava, with mechanical and chemical control widely used. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of pre-emergence herbicides, as well as to determine the interaction of these with weeding complementation in the weed management in cassava. Two experiments were conducted in Junqueiro (Alagoas). In 2015/16, the experimental design was based on randomized blocks, with treatments distributed in a split-split-plot scheme, with four replications. In the main plot, four pre-emergence associations of clomazone + flumioxazin in different doses were evaluated, in addition to a control without herbicide. In the subplots, the Caravela and Pretinha cassava cultivars were evaluated, while in the sub-subplots the control complementation was evaluated using or not the manual weeding. In the 2016/17, the plot design and layout remained the same as for 2015/16, except for the composition of the herbicide treatments, since the standardization of clomazone dose has been chosen, varying only the doses of flumioxazin. The association of clomazone and flumioxazin has shown efficacy in weed control, with a greater residual as higher doses are used. This association provided higher shoot and root yield. Weeding complementation along the cassava cycle can increase its yield. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Eucalypts are the most planted hardwoods in the world with around 30 million ha; one of which is E. urophylla, which is also one of the most planted species in Brazil. The objective of this work was to study water storage in the stem of progenies and verify the influence of precipitation on soil and wood humidity, as well as planting density (spacing between trees) on the humidity and productivity of the progenies. To this end, 21 progenies were evaluated in three replications (one progeny per block) in a progeny test. The results show that the productivity and humidity of the progenies did not depend on rainfall or soil humidity. Planting density did not influence productivity of wood or soil humidity.
Resumo: O eucalipto é a folhosa mais plantada no mundo com cerca de 30 milhões de ha, sendo uma delas o E. urophylla, que também é uma das mais plantadas no Brasil. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o armazenamento de água no fuste de progênies e verificar a influência das precipitações na umidade do solo e da madeira, bem como a densidade de plantio (espaçamento entre árvores) na umidade e produtividade das progênies. Para tal, foram avaliadas 21 progênies em três repetições (uma progênie por bloco) em um teste de progênies. Os resultados mostram que a produtividade e umidade das progênies não dependem das precipitações nem da umidade do solo. A densidade de plantio não influenciou a produtividade nem a umidade da madeira ou solo. |

| Conteúdo: | Resumo: Os sistemas agroflorestais (SAFs) proporcionam comumente uma otimização da área de cultivo, mão-de-obra, insumos e água, com maior estabilidade e diversificação da produção, maior eficiência no controle de plantas espontâneas e proteção do solo contra a erosão. Contudo, atualmente são escassos os estudos sobre SAFs irrigados. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a produção da cultura da alface (Lactuca sativa L.) em cultivo solteiro e consorciado com rúcula (Eruca sativa L.) e rabanete (Raphanus sativus L.), no interior de um SAF e a pleno sol, sob irrigação por gotejamento. O estudo foi conduzido no Sítio Agroecológico da Embrapa Meio Ambiente, em Jaguariúna, SP. Os resultados demonstraram que o sistema de condução não influenciou o diâmetro horizontal da alface, enquanto o cultivo a pleno sol promoveu maior produção de massa seca e número de folhas de alface e rúcula. O rabanete apresentou folhas mais longas no SAF quando comparado ao pleno sol. O policultivo aumentou a produção por unidade de área, em 129,5% em média, em relação ao monocultivo no SAF e pleno sol. Estes resultados demonstraram que a consorciação foi vantajosa em relação ao monocultivo, ao produzir uma maior quantidade de hortaliças por unidade de área e insumos. |

| Conteúdo: | Resumo: A integração agroecológica do componente arbóreo e agrícola na propriedade rural favorece a sustentabilidade ambiental e econômica. Este artigo apresenta uma análise de sustentabilidade ambiental de uma centenária fazenda do Vale do Paraíba, em Pindamonhangaba - SP, dedicada à diversificação arbórea, conversão agroflorestal da produção de guanandi (Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess.) para madeira nativa e atividades não-agrícolas. A análise do desempenho ambiental do estabelecimento foi feita com o sistema APOIA-NovoRural abrangendo 62 indicadores em cinco dimensões: Ecologia da paisagem, Qualidade ambiental, Valores socioculturais, Valores econômicos e Gestão e administração. Com o sistema Ambitec-Agro determinou-se o impacto das pesquisas na gestão da fazenda. O estabelecimento rural obteve elevado desempenho ambiental em todos os índices: Qualidade da água (0,94); Valores econômicos (0,85); Valores socioculturais (0,76) e Ecologia da paisagem (0,77) com oportunidade de avanços na Gestão e administração (0,69) e na Qualidade do solo (0,65), conferindo um elevado índice integrado de sustentabilidade (0,79), situando-se entre os cinco mais elevados índices dentre 178 estudos de caso com o sistema APOIA-NovoRural. Com o sistema Ambitec-Agro o índice geral de desempenho ambiental foi de 4,14 com tendência positiva para praticamente todos os critérios analisados. Práticas agroflorestais melhoram a qualidade dos solos, aumentam a diversidade de fontes de renda e os métodos de pesquisa participativa melhoram o relacionamento interinstitucional na unidade de produção.
Abstract: The agroecological integration of the tree and agricultural component in rural property favors environmental and economic sustainability. This article presents an environmental sustainability analysis of a centennial farm in the Paraíba Valley, in Pindamonhangaba - SP, dedicated to the tree diversification, agroforestry conversion of the production of Guanandi (Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess.) - Native timber and non-agricultural activities. The analysis of the environmental performance of the establishment was made with the system APOIA-NovoRural, covering 62 indicators in five dimensions: landscape ecology, environmental quality, socio-cultural values, economic values and management and administration. With the Ambitec-Agro system, the impact of the research on the management of the farm was determined. The rural establishment achieved high environmental performance in all indices: Water quality (0.94); Economic values (0.85); Socio-cultural values (0.76) and landscape ecology (0.77) with opportunity for advances in management and administration (0.69) and soil quality (0.65), conferring a high integrated sustainability index (0.79), which is among the five highest indexes, of 178 case studies with the system APOIA-NovoRural. With the Ambitec-Agro system the general index of environmental performance was 4.14 with a positive trend for virtually all the criteria analyzed. Agroforestry practices improve the quality of soils, increase the diversity of income sources and participatory research methods improve the interinstitutional relationship. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Plants can recognize molecules derived from pathogens and trigger systemic acquired resistance (SAR). In phytopathogenic bacteria, elicitors are constituent components of cellular structures, such as flagellin. We sought to select structural components of Xanthomonas spp. incompatible with tomato, aiming to control bacterial spot (Xanthomonas perforans). Initially, cell suspensions from 11 Xanthomonas spp. isolates were infiltrated into the leaves to assess their ability to cause a hypersensitivity response (HR) and the incompatible ones had their flagellin purified. The flagellin of the isolates were first applied at different concentrations, via infiltration and spraying. The pathogen, X. perforans, was inoculated after 24 h, to assess whether there would be any harmful reaction. No harmful reaction was observed in any treatment. Then, a second experiment was conducted to assess the severity of all isolates, at a concentration of 8.35 μg · ml–1, via spraying, infiltration, and soil. The greatest reduction in Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) was observed in the treatment with XapRR, applied via spraying. Thus, prospecting for elicitors is the first step in developing a product for agricultural use. The flagellin elicitor of XapRR is promising and capable of producing these molecules on a large scale. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The economic and environmental performances of agriculture intercropping depend on the complementarities between the crops that make up the system. The objective of this work was to analyze the citrus-based intercropping systems in the Coastal Tablelands region of Northeastern Brazil, aiming to identify the associations of crops with better economic and environmental performances. The study started with the construction of a set of integrated indicators, with which the field information was recorded and the performance indices calculated, based on three principles: Profitability, Productive Efficiency, and Biological Regulation. Citrus orchards in monoculture resulted in lower environmental economic performance indices. The intercropping systems that yielded the best environmental and economic performance indices in the citrus orchards were: cassava; cassava, corn and beans; corn and pumpkin. The indicators associated with these economic-environmental performances were profit, seasonality, productive diversity, profit evenness, plant health control impact level, and efficiency in the use of water, nitrogen, and phosphate.
Resumo: O desempenho econômico e ambiental do consórcio agrícola depende das complementaridades entre as culturas que compõem o sistema. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os sistemas de consorciação à base de citros na região dos Tabuleiros Costeiros do Nordeste do Brasil, visando identificar as consorciações de culturas com melhores desempenhos econômico e ambiental. O estudo se iniciou com a construção de um conjunto de indicadores integrados, com os quais foram registradas as informações de campo e calculados os índices de desempenho, com base em três princípios: Rentabilidade, Eficiência Produtiva e Regulação Biológica. Os pomares de citros em monocultivo resultaram em menores índices de desempenho econômico ambiental. As combinações de cultivos consorciados aos citros que promoveram os melhores índices de desempenho econômico ambiental foram: mandioca; mandioca, milho e feijão; milho e abóbora. Os principais indicadores associados a este desempenho econômico ambiental foram o nível de impacto do controle fitossanitário, diversidade produtiva, lucratividade do consórcio, equilíbrio da rentabilidade, retorno do investimento em energia fóssil, eficiência do uso de água, de nitrogênio e de fósforo. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The present study was conducted to compare the growth performance, feed efficiency, nitrogen retention, water quality, biofloc nutritional composition, and hematological profile of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings cultured in biofloc technology (BFT) and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) over a period of 60 days. This randomized study was designed with two treatments (BFT and RAS) and four replicates. Fish (n = 64; 7.29 ± 0.67) were allocated in eight 150 L aquaria kept at 26.72 ± 0.35 °C and fed until apparent satiation three times daily. Weight gain, apparent feed conversion ratio, and protein efficiency of fish in BFT were statistically superior than in RAS. There were no differences (p > 0.05) for temperature, dissolved oxygen, and nitrogen compounds, indicating similarity in the water quality between BFT and RAS. Furthermore, hematological parameters did not show differences (p > 0.05) between the systems. The chemical composition of biofloc differed (p < 0.05) over the experimental period for crude protein and mineral matter. The best responses of growth performance and feed efficiency of Nile tilapia fingerlings in BFT highlight the importance of bioflocs as a high biological value complementary feed. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: This study proposes to examine the potential use of Bacillus aryabhattai in pre-sprouted seedlings of sugarcane inoculated with the microorganism when subjected to different regimes of water supply after transplanting. The experiment was laid out in a randomized-block design with a complete 3 × 2 × 5 factorial arrangement, in five replicates. The factors were represented by pre-sprouted seedlings of three sugarcane varieties (IAC 911099, RB 855156 and CTC 20), two seedling types (inoculated and not inoculated with B. aryabhattai) and five frequencies of water supply, which provided the ability of return to 100% soil field capacity, at every 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 days. Plant mortality, plant height, number of leaves, stalk diameter and number of tillers were evaluated throughout the experimental period. At the end of the study, the shoot dry matter (SDM) and root dry matter (RDM) contents of the plants were measured. The number of leaves on the plant was affected only in isolation, according to the cultivar, without effects of the other studied factors. There was a double interaction effect between the factors of variety and inoculation (V*I) for the variables of SDM, stalk diameter and height; and between frequency and inoculation (F*I) for stalk diameter. There was a triple interaction effect between variety, inoculation and frequency (V*I*F) for the RDM variable. Thus, the use of B. aryabhattai as an inoculant in pre-sprouted seedlings of sugarcane at the time of seedling formation can improve plant development after transplanting depending on the cultivar used, especially in IAC 911099 and RB 855156. |

Small trees presented 63.13%, medium ones 29.33% and large trees with 7.54% of frequency. Mogi Guaçu had an average Green Area Index (GAI) of 10.85 m² per inhabitant, with good potential to increase at low cost, as there are many empty spaces and the replacement of trees that presented problems must be with large trees of native forest near the city. There was no correlation between purchasing power and GAI.
Resumo: Este estudo avaliou a arborização urbana em Mogi Guaçu, São Paulo, Brasil, de acordo com o poder aquisitivo. A amostragem estratificada foi realizada em cinco bairros, totalizando 75 blocos, possibilitando a identificação de 57 espécies, sendo 20 nativas e 37 exóticas. A frequência de espécimes exóticos foi de 77,15%. As três espécies mais frequentes (57,87%) apresentaram as maiores ocorrências fitossanitárias. Árvores pequenas apresentaram 63,13%, as médias 29,33% e as árvores grandes com 7,54% da frequência. Mogi Guaçu possuía um índice de área verde (IAV) médio de 10,85 m² por habitante, com bom potencial para aumentar a baixo custo, pois existem muitos espaços vazios e a substituição das árvores que apresentaram problemas deve ser com árvores de grande porte da floresta nativa nas proximidades da cidade. Não houve correlação entre poder aquisitivo e o IAV. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The use of phosphate fertilizers is generally required for normal growth and development of crops. The cost of manufactured phosphate fertilizers has increased drastically in recent years and are becoming out of reach for low-income farmers. The objective of this research was to select phosphate-solubilizing and phytohormone-producing bacteria to improve the growth and P uptake by the common bean (IAC Alvorada) in Red-Yellow Oxisol without the addition of phosphate fertilizer. The experimental design was completely randomized with three replicates and the following treatments: non-inoculated bean plants and plants inoculated separately with seven bacterial isolates: K24, K36, K71, T30, T79, A24, and T22. The previously treated bean plants were grown in the presence and absence of phosphate fertilization. Only the plants inoculated with the isolates K36 and T79 showed higher values for the dry weight and the quantities of P and N uptake by the shoot when cultivated in the absence of phosphate fertilizer. These results demonstrate the potential use of the bacteria T79 and K36 as inoculants for bean plants grown in non-sterilized soil with low available P content, but also indicate that P solubilization may not be the only mechanism responsible for the positivo growth response. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: This article presents a review on the use of graphene in various segments, elucidating that this product can be used in various industrial sectors. These include mainly agriculture (as in large crops of high relevance, such as coffee), the food industry and the environment, as a plant growth stimulator and in fertilizers, nanoencapsulation and smart-release systems, antifungal and antibacterial agents, smart packaging, water treatment and ultrafiltration, contaminant removal, pesticide and insecticide quantitation, detection systems and precision agriculture. However, some challenges can be overcome before the graphene-based nanoparticle is used on a large scale. In this way, before using the product in the environment, it is necessary to determine whether the technology is safe for the soil-plant system and consumers. Furthermore, the cost of its use can also be a limiting factor depending on the level applied. Therefore, this review proposes to examine the diverse literature to explain the effects of the use of graphene in agriculture, plants and soil microorganisms. Accordingly, this article discusses and presents the possibilities of application of graphene in agriculture, plants and soil microorganisms.
Resumo: Este artigo apresenta uma revisão sobre o uso do grafeno em vários segmentos, elucidando que esse produtopode ser usado em vários setores da indústria, principalmente na agricultura, como em grandes culturas agrícolas de alta relevância como café, por exemplo, na indústria alimentícia e no meio ambiente, como estimulador de crescimento de plantas e fertilizantes, nanoencapsulação e sistemas de liberação inteligente, agentes antifúngicos e antibacterianos, embalagens inteligentes, tratamento de água e ultrafiltração, remoção de contaminantes, quantificação de pesticidas e inseticidas, sistemas de detecção e agricultura de precisão. Contudo, alguns desafios podem ser superados antes que a nanopartícula à base de grafeno seja utilizada em escala. Assim, antes do uso do produto no ambiente é necessário verificar se a tecnologia é segura para o sistema solo-planta e para os consumidores, além disso, o custo de utilização também pode ser um limitador, conforme a dose utilizada. Portanto, o objetivo desta revisão é analisar as diversas literaturas, explicando os efeitos do uso de grafeno na agricultura, plantas e microrganismos no solo. Assim, com o presente artigo, busca-se discutir e apresentar as possibilidades aplicativas do uso do grafeno na agricultura, nas plantas e nos microrganismos no solo. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The present study proposes to evaluate extracts from shoots of healthy soybean and potato plants for the treatment of plants of the same species cultivated subsequently. Two experiments were thus conducted separately after the soybean and potato inoculum production phases. For soybean, the experiment was laid out in a randomized-block design with five treatments and four replications, in which the following treatments were tested: 1. absolute control without inoculum or pesticides; 2. farmer management with pesticides, without inoculum; 3. use of inoculum, without insecticides; 4. use of inoculum, without fungicides; and 5. use of inoculum, without pesticides. In the soybean crop, the tested inoculum improved plant development and, increased the potassium content of the plant tissue as well as yield. For the potato crop, a randomized-block statistical design was adopted with two treatments and ten replications, using varieties Ágata and Atlantic. The following treatments were tested: 1. absolute control without inoculum, with pesticides; and 2. use of inoculum (foliar spraying), with pesticides. With the use of inoculum, varieties Ágata and Atlantic showed distinct responses regarding disease incidence and yield. Late blight was the disease that most affected both varieties, but only Atlantic showed a reduction in its incidence when the inoculum was applied. Variety Atlantic also exhibited an increase in the most valued commercial calibers, besides an increase in yield, with the use of the tested inoculum. Cultivar Ágata showed a marked reduction in tuber defects with the use of the inoculum on the plants. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The huge biological diversity of the Brazilian Cerrado is an important source of economically interesting microbial agents. The phylum Actinobacteria plays an important role in nutrient cycling, potentially improving their availability to plants. In this study, we isolated an actinobacteria (strain 3AS4) from wheat rhizospheres of crops cultivated in the Cerrado biome. Strain 3AS4 was identified as belonging to the genus Streptomyces and had phosphorus mobilization ability, mineralizing approximately 410 mg ml-1 from phytate, 300 mg ml-1 from calcium phosphate, and 200 mg ml-1 from rock phosphate. The analysis of the actinobacteria crude extract by spectrometric techniques revealed the presence of gluconic and 2-ketogluconic acid, and a greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate its plant growth promotion activity in soybean. Soil in its natural condition (with no phosphorus addition), 40 kg ha-1 rock phosphate from Bayovar (RP) added to soil, and triple super phosphate (SPT) added to soil were used. Significant differences in plant height were observed at 6 weeks when the plants were inoculated with the 3AS4 strain. The growth of inoculated plants in natural condition was promoted in 17% compared with the RP and SPT non-inoculated conditions, suggesting that inoculation can enable plants to grow with lower chemical P fertilizers. In the plants that were inoculated with the 3AS4 strain in the RP condition, the plant height increased by approximately 80% and the shoot:root ratio was approximately 30% higher compared to control conditions (non-inoculated plants in natural conditions). 3AS4 has P-solubilizing potential and can be exploited as an inoculant for soybean cultivation. These results suggest that this actinobacterium is a valuable resource for sustainable agriculture and will allow the reduction of phosphate fertilization in the future. |

As combinações de cada par dos óleos de alecrim-pimenta, capim-limão, tomilho, orégano e canela não apresentaram uma melhora adicional no efeito para os patógenos estudados quando comparados com os seus óleos testados isoladamente. As composições químicas dos óleos essenciais mais ativos foram obtidas por meio de análises por cromatografia gasosa acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG-EM), sendo que os compostos majoritários do óleo de orégano foram carvacrol (69,1%) e p-cimeno (18,8%), do óleo essencial de tomilho foram timol (45,5%) e p-cimeno (35,6%) e do alecrim-pimenta foram o timol (77,2%) e p-cimeno (14,2%). Análises quantitativas de p-cimeno, carvacrol e timol nos três óleos foram realizadas e comparadas com as composições químicas mostrando resultados proporcionalmente coerentes, exceto para p-cimeno, que foi quantificado com menores porcentagens por esse método. A aplicabilidade dos óleos selecionados, ou das substâncias presentes isoladas seria diretamente nos alimentos, com a finalidade de inibir ou controlar o crescimento desses patógenos, contribuindo assim para a segurança dos alimentos.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of several essential oils and their combination against pathogenic strains of Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 13311 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 13565. A total of 41 essential oils and the combinations in pairs of the oils of rosemary pepper (Lippia sidoides Cham.), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), origanum (Origanum vulgare L.) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia (L.) D.Don) were tested to observe additional effects or not in the inhibition of microorganisms. The results showed that the best antimicrobial activities for the two microorganisms were obtained using the oils of Thymus vulgaris L. (thyme), Origanum vulgare L. (origanum) and Lippia sidoides Cham. (rosemary pepper). The combinations of each pair of rosemary pepper, lemongrass, thyme, origanum and cinnamon oils did not show any further improvement in the effect for the studied pathogens when compared to their oils tested alone. The compositions of the most active essential oils were obtained by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major compounds in origanum oil were carvacrol (69.1%) and p-cymene (18.8%), thyme essential oil were thymol (45.5%) and p-cymene (35.6%) and rosemary pepper were thymol (77.2%) and p-cymene (14.2%). Quantitative analyses of p-cymene, carvacrol and thymol confirmed the presence in thyme, oregano and pepper rosemary oils and were compared with the chemical composition showing similar results, except for p-cymene, which was quantified with lower percentages in these oils. |

Neste contexto, o arranjo espacial aliado ao uso de cultivares de crescimento determinado e de maior ciclo pode ser uma alternativa para o manejo da soja em condições edafoclimáticas adversas. Dessa forma o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho agronômico e os componentes de produtividade da cultivar BRS Valiosa RR®, de crescimento determinado, em diferentes espaçamentos entrelinhas e populações de plantas. O ensaio foi instalado em Rio Verde/GO na safra 2012/13, no delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados em arranjo fatorial 4x4, com quatro repetições. Foram avaliados quatro espaçamentos entrelinhas (20; 40; 20/40 e 20/60 cm de entrelinhas) associados a quatro populações de plantas (200.000; 300.000; 400.000 e 500.000 plantas ha-1). A cultivar BRS Valiosa RR® apresentou potencial para redução da população de plantas sem ocasionar reduções em produtividade, independente do espaçamento entrelinhas.
Abstract: The adoption of different plant arrangements in the soybean crop can promote morphological changes in the plants, which may influence the grain yield. In this context, the spatial arrangement allied to a determined growth and higher cycle variety may be an alternative for the management of the soybean crop under adverse edaphic-climatic conditions. In this way, the objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic performance and the productive components of the BRS Valiosa RR®soybean cultivar, with determined growth in different plant populations and between rows. The trial was installed in Rio Verde/GO at 2012/13 agricultural year. A randomized complete block design was used in a factorial arrangement 4x4 with four replications. It was evaluated four spacing between rows (20; 40; 20/40 and 20/60 cm) associated with four plant populations (200,000, 300,000, 400,000 and 500,000 ha-1 plants). The BRS Valiosa RR® cultivar showed potential to reduce the plant population without causing reductions in grain yield, regardless of the spacing between rows. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The national inventories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are periodically prepared by countries that signed the Climate Change Convention, compute emissions from anthropogenic sources among them agricultural activities. The protocols established within the scope of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) make it possible to estimate these emissions. These protocols use standard emission factors that vary according to the characteristics of the monitored activities and only scientific research, published in journals of recognized quality, can establish other local factors. Brazilian researchers carry out experiments to measure GHG emissions from agricultural activities, aiming to calculate specific parameters for the national climatic and management conditions. These field experiments are complex, costly, with a limited number of repetitions and, eventually, high natural variability. Often, these limitations result in the inability of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to identify differences between treatments. The objective of this work is to present the non-parametric Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test as an alternative to compare the effect of flooded irrigation management on methane (CH4) emission throughout the rice crop cycle. We present a case study in which ANOVA produced non-significant results for the adjustment of the model while the KS identified the emission curves as significantly different. The KS test could be adapted, via the SAS NPAR1WAY routine, to compare events with responses over time, such as methane emissions in flooded rice, resulting in test values and graphs that are easy to understand and interpret. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Aiming at the sustainability of aquaculture production, producers should adopt tools and protocols for environmental monitoring and management of these enterprises. There are currently issues concerning the efficacy of data collection procedures and limnological sampling at low frequency, which is widely used by managers and aquaculture surveillance agencies. In this context, the present study evaluated the effectiveness of high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) limnological monitoring. For the HF, autonomous data collection platforms (ADCP) were installed in a tropical reservoir, four ADCP in areas with fish production (WFP), and one ADCP in an area free of fish production (FFP, control). For both sampling methods, the temperature (Temp), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity (Tbt), electrical conductivity (EC), and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) were sampled at a depth of 1.5 m from the water surface. While the HF used a multiparameter probe, recording each parameter every 10 min, the LF method consisted of monthly data acquisitions of the same settings using water sampling techniques for further measurement in the laboratory. The comparison of the sampling frequency and methods revealed different profiles for all measured parameters during the monitored period. The average values of the daily amplitude of variation differed between the two monitoring strategies for water temperature, pH, DO, Tbt, and Chl-a. Comparison of the results showed that the HF limnological monitoring allowed us to create a more accurate variation profile of the water quality variables measured. The ADCP is a useful strategy that can be used to capture the influences of fish production and to bring essential water quality changes for fish management. The evaluations with LF did not demonstrate the natural variability of the measured parameters, being an ineffective tool for environmental monitoring of fish production. |

Some studies have shown favorable areas for T. peregrinus population outbreaks in Brazil, based on georeferenced-crossing information using geographical information system (GIS). Despite that, it is crucial to both enhance the precision of methods used on georeferenced crossings and update information, in order to enable greater precision toward the identification of propitious areas for the occurrence of the insect. The objective of this study was to identify areas with favorable conditions to occurrence of Thaumastocoris peregrinus in Brazil, in at least one month in the year, based on national information of this insect-pest. Favorable conditions to the occurrence of the insect, the average climatic data from weather stations (2009-2018) and Eucalyptus crop areas in 2018 were considered. This information was used in GIS to obtain a zoning map indicating the favorable areas to the insect in at least one month in the year. The georeferenced-crossing technique used considered both spatial interpolation by Cokriging methods and by Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW). Results indicated the presence of propitious outbreaks for T. peregrinus occurring in differentiated months in the Southern, Southeastern, Midwestern and Northeastern geographic regions of the country, with lowest monthly aptitude noticed for the Northern region. Different sequential periods of favorability for occurrences from very high to medium intensities were identified. |

| Conteúdo: | Resumo: Com os objetivos de aprofundar a construção de conhecimento em Agroflorestas e desenvolver sistemas para a realidade dos assentamentos de reforma agrária, foi implantado em janeiro de 2018 uma Unidade de Observação Participativa (UOP) na Embrapa Meio Ambiente, Jaguariúna, SP, inspirada principalmente nos trabalhos desenvolvidos desde 2005 com agricultoras/es do assentamento Sepé Tiaraju. A UOP, de 0,12 ha composta por 6 linhas e 5 entrelinhas, foi pensada para promover, além do acompanhamento técnico, a partilha das percepções de agriculturas/es, pesquisadoras/es, técnicas/os e estudantes quanto ao desenvolvimento do sistema e ao aprimoramento de soluções, tendo em vista as condições sociotécnicas dos agricultores familiares assentados. O presente artigo visa apresentar e discutir as estratégias pedagógicas da implantação dessa UOP e de sua manutenção, em especial os eventos denominados “Dia de Campo”. Dentre esses, destaca-se a implantação do café em dezembro de 2019, no qual os agricultores foram os experimentadores protagonistas. A pandemia trouxe um grande desafio para a continuidade desses processos de construção do conhecimento, que tem como base encontros presenciais e observações no campo. Contudo, está permitindo explorar novas modalidades de interação virtual, cujos aprendizados vão além das técnicas de manejo. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Metarhizium species fungi are able to produce resistant structures termed microsclerotia, formed by compact and melanized threads of hyphae. These propagules are tolerant to desiccation and produce infective conidia; thus, they are promising candidates to use in biological control programs. In this study, we investigated the tolerance to both ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation and heat of microsclerotia of Metarhizium robertsii strain ARSEF 2575. We also adapted the liquid medium and culture conditions to obtain mycelial pellets from the same isolate in order to compare these characteristics between both types of propagules. We followed the peroxisome biogenesis and studied the oxidative stress during differentiation from conidia to microsclerotia by transmission electron microscopy after staining with a peroxidase activity marker and by the expression pattern of genes potentially involved in these processes. We found that despite their twice smaller size, microsclerotia exhibited higher dry biomass, yield, and conidial productivity than mycelial pellets, both with and without UV-B and heat stresses. From the 16 genes measured, we found an induction after 96-h differentiation in the oxidative stress marker genes MrcatA, MrcatP, and Mrgpx; the peroxisome biogenesis factors Mrpex5 and Mrpex14/17; and the photoprotection genes Mrlac1 and Mrlac2; and Mrlac3. We concluded that an oxidative stress scenario is induced during microsclerotia differentiation in M. robertsii and confirmed that because of its tolerance to desiccation, heat, and UV-B, this fungal structure could be an excellent candidate for use in biological control of pests under tropical and subtropical climates where heat and UV radiation are detrimental to entomopathogenic fungi survival and persistence. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) net cage farming on methane (CH4) emission in a Brazilian tropical reservoir through the quantification of spatial and seasonal variations of diffusive and ebullitive CH4 emissions. To explain the variability of CH4 emission, a hierarchical identification of limnologic and atmospheric parameters was used. A significant increase in diffusive emissions from net cage sites (33.4 ± 54.9 mg Csingle bondCH4 m−2 d−1) was observed when compared to the sites before (4.4 ± 9.4 mg Csingle bondCH4 m−2 d−1) and after (6.2 ± 15.6 mg Csingle bondCH4 m−2 d−1) the net cages. Also, significant increase of ebullitive emissions was also observed from the net cage sites (2,417.1 ± 2,040.7 mg Csingle bondCH4 m−2 d−1) when compared to the average emissions from sites before (1.1 ± 2.1 mg Csingle bondCH4 m−2 d−1) and after (88.7 ± 92.6 mg Csingle bondCH4 m−2 d−1). Results showed a decrease in average CH4 emissions towards the sites after the net cages in all sampled areas which suggests that the influence of tilapia fish farming is local. The highest averages in the reservoir areas for diffusive and ebullitive CH4 emissions were observed in areas with higher production of tilapia. Finally, seasonal variation was observed on diffuse CH4 emission. High concentrations of carbon and phosphorus in water and sediment were the main drivers for increasing diffusive and ebullitive methane emissions. Our findings provide valuable information that tilapia net cage farming in reservoirs can be associated with local and dispersive increased methane emissions. |

É de difícil controle e de ampla ocorrência, já que o patógeno é capaz de ser veiculado por meio de sementes contaminadas. Sua disseminação por aerossóis, período de incubação curto, com rápido progresso em condições favoráveis e habilidade do patógeno em tolerar doses crescentes de cobre, principal elemento utilizado para o seu controle, faz com que danos e perdas significativas sejam relevantes à cultura. Estimativas sobre seu impacto indicam que a incidência pode reduzir em média 41,4% a produtividade de plantas de tomateiro. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The impacts of pesticide use are one of the main environmental problems in agriculture and a threat to as much environment as human beings. Even Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies, one of the main ones to evaluate production systems, have encountered difficulties in determining the (eco)toxicity impacts of pesticides. The lack of understanding in the relationship between the production system and the environmental emission compartment is one of the problems. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate two modeling methods – and two definitions of environmental emission compartments, ecosphere and technosphere – for pesticides: 100% of emissions to soil and PestLCI. Two soybean production techniques were considered, integrated pest and disease management (IPM-IDM) and scheduled application. To assess the impacts, two methods were adopted: USEtox and ReCiPe. In the evaluation by USEtox, we observed the human toxicity category, which suffered few changes, different of the freshwater ecotoxicity category. For ReCiPe that most impact categories have undergone few changes, except for ecotoxicity categories, terrestrial and freshwater. Therefore, despite the difference in modeling and emission compartments, no consensus has been reached on the framing of compartments between ecosphere and technosphere. However, we observe that the combination of different models together with different impact assessment methods mainly influence the (eco)toxicity impact categories, of which the definition of emission compartments is more sensitive.
Resumo: Os impactos provenientes do uso de pesticidas é um dos principais problemas ambientais na agricultura e oferece riscos tanto ao ambiente quanto aos seres humanos. Mesmo a metodologias de Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV), uma das principais para avaliar sistemas de produção, têm encontrado dificuldades para determinar os impactos de (eco)toxicidade de pesticidas. A falta de compreensão na relação entre sistema de produção e compartimento de emissão ambiental é um dos problemas. Assim, este estudo teve o intuito de avaliar dois métodos de modelagem – e duas definições de compartimentos de emissão ambiental, ecosfera e tecnosfera – para pesticidas: 100% das emissões para solo e PestLCI. Consideramos duas técnicas de cultivos de soja, manejo integrado de pragas e doenças (MIP-MID) e aplicação calendarizada. Para avaliar os impactos adotamos dois métodos: USEtox e ReCiPe. Observamos na avaliação pelo USEtox a categoria de toxicidade humana, sofreram poucas alterações, diferente da categoria de ecotoxicidade de água doce. Para o ReCiPe que a maioria das categorias de impactos sofreram poucas alterações, exceto as categorias de ecotoxicidade, terrestre e de água doce. Portanto, apesar da diferença de modelagem e compartimentos de emissão, nenhum consenso tem sido alcançado sobre o enquadramento dos compartimentos entre ecosfera e tecnosfera. Mas, observamos que a combinação das diferentes modelagem junto aos diferentes métodos de avaliação de impactos influenciam principalmente nas categorias de impactos de (eco)toxicidade, das quais é mais sensível a definição dos compartimentos de emissões. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: The growing demand for soybean has led producers to adopt different plant arrangements. However, this technology information in Cerrado conditions is scarce and further studies in order to understand the effects of soybean crop are necessary. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate different cropping systems, with and without addition of plant population using a soybean variety of semi determinate growth habit in Brazilian Cerrado conditions. The experiments were carried out in the crop years 2013/14 and 2014/15 in Rio Verde - GO, Brazil, in randomized block design with 4x2 factorial arrangement, consisting of four sowing systems (traditional; reduced; double rows and cross) associated to two plant populations (recommended and increase of 33%) of the Anta 82 RR® variety. The results showed that in the 2013/14 season due the better water distribution, the use of double row implantation system presented greater grain yield than the others. Also, with lower rainfall, the 2014/15 season was not influenced by implantation system. The increase in plant population to 665,000 plants ha-1 demonstrated that the densification in the semi-determinate soybean variety was not an interesting technique.
Resumo: A crescente demanda por soja levou os produtores a adotar diferentes arranjos de plantas. Entretanto, as informações sobre essa tecnologia nas condições do Cerrado são escassas, sendo necessário mais estudos para entender os efeitos da cultura da soja. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar diferentes sistemas de cultivo, com e sem acréscimo na população de plantas recomendada utilizando uma variedade de soja de hábito de crescimento semi-determinado nas condições do Cerrado brasileiro. Os experimentos foram realizados nas safras 2013/14 e 2014/15 em Rio Verde - GO, Brasil, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso com arranjo fatorial 4x2, composto por quatro sistemas de cultivo (tradicional; reduzida; fileiras duplas e cruzadas) associados a duas populações de plantas (recomendada e acréscimo de 33%) da variedade Anta 82 RR®. Os resultados mostraram que, na safra 2013/14, devido à melhor distribuição da água, o uso do sistema de cultivo em fileiras duplas apresentou maior rendimento de grãos que os demais. Além disso, com menor precipitação, a safra 2014/15 não foi influenciada pelo sistema de implantação. O aumento da população de plantas para 665.000 plantas ha-1 (acima da recomendada) demonstrou que a densificação na variedade semi-determinada de soja não é uma técnica interessante. |

| Conteúdo: | Abstract: Concerns over climate change have led to the promotion of biofuels for transport, particularly biodiesel from oilseed crops and ethanol from sugar and starch crops. However, the climate-change mitigation potential of the various biofuels estimated in published studies tends to vary significantly, questioning the reliability of the methods used to quantify potential impacts. We investigated the values published in the European Commission’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED), and recalculated the climate-change impacts of a range of biofuels using internally-consistent attributional and consequential modelling approaches to enable comparison of these approaches. We conclude that the estimated results are highly dependent on the modelling approach adopted, to the detriment of the perception of the robustness of life cycle assessment as a tool for estimating the climate-change impacts of biofuels. Land use change emissions are a determining parameter which should not be omitted, even if modelling it introduces a large variability in the results and makes interpretation complex. Clearer guidelines and standardization efforts would be helpful in the harmonization of LCA practice, so that the results can be more useful, robust and reproducible. |
