ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Wood is the primary energy source for grains and Tobacco drying in the Rio Pardo Watershed (RPW). The amount of firewood produced in the RPW is not enough to supply the demand. Recently, an automatized supply system was introduced in the region enabling the use of sawdust and pellets. In this context, this study aims to compare firewood, sawdust and pellets as energy sources for Tobacco curing in air-forced curing systems. Energetic density was used to estimate the biomass consumption in Tobacco curing. The consumption of biomass is lower for pellet, followed by firewood and sawdust. Pellets and sawdust could complement firewood in the region; however, research is necessary to ascertain the economic feasibility.


RESUMO: A madeira é fonte fundamental de energia na secagem da produção agrícola na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Pardo. A lenha disponível na região não é suficiente para suprir a demanda. Recentemente, um sistema de alimentação automatizado possibilitou o uso de materiais como serragem e pellets na secagem da produção. Portanto, nesse estudo comparou-se a energia consumida na cura do tabaco para lenha, serragem e pellets em unidades de cura de ar-forçado. A densidade energética foi utilizada para estimar o consumo de biomassa das fontes de energia utilizadas na cura do tabaco. Constatou-se que o consumo de biomassa é menor para o pellet, seguido da lenha e por último a serragem. Serragem e pellets podem ser alternativas energéticas na região. No entanto, estudos são necessários para afirmar se há viabilidade econômica.

ABSTRACT

The current paper focuses on potential medicinal use of forest species from Deciduous Seasonal Forest in central region of Rio Grande do Sul State, South Brazil. Floristic and phytosociological surveys were carried out in 2011 and 2012. Results were compared with the available information in scientific literature about popular knowledge and biological/pharmacological evidences. Each species was classified in use categories to diseases, symptoms our disorders based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). In 2011, we found a total of 31 species, 77,4% of them with medicinal use. In 2012, we found 33 species,72,7% of them with medicinal use. The species most frequently mentioned were Casearia sylvestris, Eugenia uniflora, Cabralea canjerana, Luehea divaricata, Parapiptadenia rigida and Vitex megapotamica. The main species with biological/pharmacological properties were C. sylvestris, E. uniflora, L. divaricata, V. megapotamica and Zanthoxylum rhoifolium. We concluded that there is a considerable potential for medicinal purposes to forest species from Deciduous Seasonal Forest in the study region. We recommend further studies mainly about the species Prunus myrtifolia, Zanthoxylum rhoifolium, Cabralea canjerana and Casearia sylvestris which presented references to antitumoral properties.

ABSTRACT

O estudo objetivou analisar a viabilidade econômica da produção de acácia-negra e carvão vegetal em Brochier, Maratá, Paverama e Poço das Antas. Os subsídios foram obtidos com aplicação de questionários in loco. Os critérios econômicos utilizados foram: Valor Presente Líquido (VPL), Valor Presente Líquido Infinito (VPL inf.). Valor Anual Equivalente (VAE), Valor Esperado da Terra (VET), Relação Benefício Custo (B/C), Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR) e Custo Médio de Produção (CMPr). A taxa média de atratividade utilizada foi de 6,8% a.a. Os dados de produção de madeira foram oriundos de SCHNEIDER et al. (2000). Assim, o plantio de acácia-negra consorciada com milho mostrou-se viável, apresentando maior atratividade no Índice de Sítio 18: VPL de R$ 2529,22 ha-1, VET de R$ 384,91 ha-1, VPL infinito de R$ 506,37 ha-1, TIR de 18,91% e CMPr de R$ 36,44 m-3. A produção de carvão vegetal mostrou-se mais viável nos fornos Brochier (CMPr de R$ 0,32 m-3 e B/C de 1,94).


The study aimed to analyze the feasibility and the economic production of black wattle and charcoal in Brochier, Maratá, Paverama and Poço das Antas Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Subsidies were obtained with in loco questionnaires . The economic criteria used were: Net Present Value (NPV), Infinite Net Present Value (NPV inf.), Annual Equivalent Value (VAE), Expected Value of Earth (VET), Benefit Cost Ratio (B/C), internal rate of return (IRR) and average cost of production (CMPr). The average rate of attractiveness used was 6.8% p.a. The wood production data obtained was from SCHNEIDER et al. (2000). Thus, planting black acacia intercropped with maize proved to be viable, showing greater attractiveness in the 18 place index : NPV of R$ 2529,22 ha-1 VET of R$ 384.91 ha-1, VPL inf. of R$ 506.37 ha-1, TIR of 18.91% and CMPr of R$ 36.44 m-3. Charcoal production proved to be more feasible in the ovens Brochier (CMPr of R$ 0,32 m-3 and B/C of 1,94).
