ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Vatiga manihotae (Drake 1922) (Hemiptera: Tingidae) is an important cassava pest due to the great potential damage and the increasing population in recent years. However, few studies about bioecology and control of the cassava lace bug have been conducted and their results don't provide adequate control strategies. An alternative to maintain the population below economic injury levels is through the adoption of host plant resistance. To improve the understanding about the bioecology and find new sources of resistance in cassava, the biological parameters and demographics of V. manihotae on five cassava genotypes (Santa Helena, MEcu 72, Col 22, Clone 02 and Clone 03) under controlled conditions (25±2°C, 14L/10D) were evaluated. Duration and viability of the stages, the period egg-adult, sex ratio, the pre-oviposition period, fecundity and longevity of male and female was determined, and a fertility life table was prepared. Insects fed on MEcu 72 showed increased nymphal, egg-adult, and pre-oviposition periods and reduced female fecundity and longevity in comparison to the other genotypes. Demographic parameters (Ro, rm, T, DT) showed a significant impact on the growth potential of V. manihotae fed on MEcu 72 indicating that the populations would diminish over time. The combined effect of these parameters indicated that MEcu 72 has resistance on V. manihotae specimens hindering their development.
ABSTRACT
O fósforo (P) é um nutriente limitante na produtividade do feijoeiro e pode influenciar na composição química de sementes. O trabalho objetivou avaliar os efeitos da adubação fosfatada e de épocas de cultivo ('águas' e 'seca'), na composição química de sementes de duas cultivares de feijoeiro. O experimento foi realizado em Botucatu (SP), no delineamento de blocos ao acaso com cinco repetições. As cultivares de feijão 'Carioca Precoce' e 'IAC Carioca Tybatã' foram avaliadas no cultivo 'das águas' e 'da seca' sob seis doses de P2O5 (0; 30; 60; 90; 120 e 150kg ha-1) com aplicação de superfosfato triplo no sulco de semeadura. Amostras de sementes foram analisadas para determinação dos teores de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, açúcar total e redutor e proteína. A adubação fosfatada alterou a composição química das sementes, incremento nos teores de P e redução de Ca e Cu. Os teores de K e Fe apresentam ponto de mínima nas doses de 69,9 e 66kg ha-1 de P2O5, respectivamente. O cultivo na época 'da seca' favorece os teores de N, P e proteínas das sementes. A cultivar 'Carioca Precoce' apresenta maior teor de N e proteínas nas sementes em relação a 'IAC Carioca Tybatã'. Há interação cultivar e época de cultivo para o teor de S, Mn, Fe, Ca, Mg, Cu, açúcares totais e redutores.
Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient in common bean grain yield and may influence the chemical composition of seeds. The aim was to assess the effects of phosphorus fertilization and planting dates ('water' and 'dry') in the seeds chemical composition of two dry bean cultivars. A field experiment was carried out in Botucatu (SP) in a randomized block design with five replications. Two dry bean cultivars 'Carioca Precoce' e 'IAC Carioca Tybatã' were evaluated in growing 'water' and 'drought' in six levels of P2O5 (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150kg ha-1) applying superphosphate at planting row. It was assessed seed samples to determine the levels of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn, total and reducing sugar and protein. The phosphorus in the soil alters the seeds chemical composition, increasing contents of P and decreasing Ca and Cu contents. The K and Fe contents showed minimum point at a level of 69.9 and 66kg ha-1 of P2O5, respectively. It was observed that occurred increase in contents of N, P, and protein of seeds in the growing season 'drought'. The cultivar 'Carioca Precoce' showed higher N content and protein of seeds than 'IAC Carioca Tybatã'. There is interaction between cultivar and growing season for the content of S, Mn, Fe, Ca, Mg, Cu, total and reducing sugars.
