Reaction of biofortified lettuce genotypes to different strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians

Lettuce bacterial leaf spot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vitians is an aggressive disease that is difficult to control. So far there are no reports of the reaction of biofortified lettuce genotypes to different isolates of the bacteria. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the aggressiveness of X. campestris pv. vitians, as well as the reaction of biofortified lettuce genotypes to bacterial spot. Two experiments were performed in two distinct seasons (winter and summer), in greenhouse at the Vegetable Experimental Station of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). The experimental design in both experiments was a randomized block design, in a factor scheme of 5 × 4 (five genotypes and four strains), with four repetitions. Were evaluated the severity and the area under the disease progress curve. In general, the biofortified lettuce 'Uberlândia 10000' was more resistant to most bacterial strains in the summer cultivation, and in the winter period UFU 'Crespa 206'. The commercial cultivar Robusta was the most susceptible to the strains during both seasons. The UFU E125 strain was the most aggressive for most genotypes in both seasons.

Horta medicinal na saúde da família: resgatando saberes e sentidos das plantas medicinais - relato de experiência / Medicinal vegetable garden in Family Health: rescuing the knowledge and senses of medicinal plants - an experience repor

Objetivo: Descrever a experiência da implantação de uma horta medicinal em uma Unidade de Saúde de um município baiano. Método: relato de experiência da implantação em 3 etapas: reuniões de planejamento, realização de oficinas e a implantação da horta. Resultados e Discussão: As oficinas evidenciaram práticas inseguras relacionadas ao uso de plantas medicinais concomitante com medicamentos alopáticos e substituição do fármaco pelo tratamento com as plantas. Conclusão: a implantação da horta possibilitou a discussão entre a comunidade e os profissionais da unidade sobre o uso de plantas medicinais trazendo a reflexão sobre o resgate de saberes e sentidos das plantas medicinais.

Objective: To describe the experience of implementing a medicinal vegetable garden in a Health Unit in a municipality in Bahia. Method: Experience report of the implementation in 3 stages: planning meetings, holding workshops and setting up the vegetable garden. Results and Discussion: the workshops highlighted unsafe practices related to the use of medicinal plants by users, as well as concomitant use with allopathic drugs and substitution of the drug by treatment with the plants. Conclusion: The implementation of the garden made possible the discussion between the community and the professionals of the unit about the use of medicinal plants bringing the reflection on the rescue of knowledge and senses of medicinal plants.
