ABSTRACT

The sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabr., 1794) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is one of the main pests of sugarcane. This pest can reduce the quality and yield of the crop. Information on the quality and yield of cultivars in relation to the attack of sugarcane borer are necessary, since they guide the choice of the best materials for use in joint with other management tactics. Two field experiments were conducted in 2011 and 2012 to compare the quality and yield of 16 commercial sugarcane cultivars (IACSP93-3046, IACSP94-2094, IACSP94-2101, IAC91-1099, IACSP95-5000, IAC87-3396, RB92579, RB867515, RB966928, CTC2, CTC4, CTC9, CTC11, CTC15, CTC18 and SP86-0042) relative to the natural infestation of D. saccharalis. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications. There was no difference between treatments for infestation index, with averages of 1.2 to 8.7% of bored internodes. Higher percentages of internodes with red rot were observed for CTC9, CTC2 and RB966928. The cultivars CTC4 and RB92579 infested with D. saccharalis resulted in lower technological quality, due the reduction in the contents of brix, apparent sucrose content (POL) and purity; and increase of the reducing sugars and, consequently, lower theoretically recoverable sugar (TRS). On the other hand, the lowest yields (t of cane ha-1) were observed for CTC18, IACSP94-2094, IACSP94-2101 and RB966928. Therefore, according to the hierarchical cluster analysis (UPGMA), the cultivars RB867515, CTC11, IAC91-1099, CTC15, SP86-0042, CTC2 and IACSP94-3046 were resistant to D. saccharalis.(AU)


A broca-da-cana, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabr., 1794) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), é uma das principais pragas da cana-de-açúcar. Essa praga pode reduzir a qualidade e a produtividade da cultura. Informações sobre a qualidade e a produtividade de cultivares em relação ao ataque da broca-da-cana são necessárias, pois orientam a escolha dos melhores materiais para utilização em conjunto com outras táticas de manejo. Dois experimentos de campo foram instalados em 2011 e 2012 para comparar a qualidade e a produtividade de 16 cultivares comerciais de cana-de-açúcar (IACSP93-3046, IACSP94-2094, IACSP94-2101, IAC91-1099, IACSP95-5000, IAC87-3396, RB92579, RB867515, RB966928, CTC2, CTC4, CTC9, CTC11, CTC15, CTC18 e SP86-0042) em relação à infestação natural de D. saccharalis. O delineamento dos experimentos foi em blocos completos ao acaso, com quatro repetições. Não houve diferença entre os tratamentos para a intensidade de infestação, com médias de 1,2 a 8,7% de entrenós brocados. Maiores porcentagens de entrenós com podridão-vermelha foram observadas para CTC9, CTC2 e RB966928. Os cultivares CTC4 e RB92579 infestados com D. saccharalis resultaram em menor qualidade tecnológica, por causa da redução nos teores de brix, teor de sacarose aparente (POL) e pureza; e aumento dos açúcares redutores e, consequentemente, menor quantidade de açúcar teoricamente recuperável (ATR). Por outro lado, as menores produtividades (t de cana ha-1) foram observadas para CTC18, IACSP94-2094, IACSP94-2101 e RB966928. Portanto, de acordo com a análise hierárquica de agrupamento (UPGMA), os cultivares RB867515, CTC11, IAC91-1099, CTC15, SP86-0042, CTC2 e IACSP94-3046 mostraram-se resistentes a D. saccharalis.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Although there are evidences that the proper supply of mineral nutrients to plants relieves water stress, little is known on the approach of how the drought affects the absorption and accumulation of nutrients by distinct sugar cane genotypes, or in different parts of a same plant. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the content and accumulation of N, P and K in the aerial part of plant from three genotypes of sugar cane, submitted to three water potentials in the soil, and check the relationship of these variables with the tolerance of plants to prolonged drought. In order to access this objective, an experiment under greenhouse conditions, comprised by a fatorial 3 × 3, in a randomized block design, and four replicates was carried out. After 90 days from treatment imposition, the plant transpiration rate, plant dry mass, concentration of N, P and K were determined in leaves and culms, as well as in total plant shoot were measured. It was found that tolerance to drought in sugar cane is related to higher levels of N and K in the leaves and stems, and larger accumulations of K and P in the plant shoot. There is high positive correlations among accumulation of N, P and K in the plant shoot and dry matter production by plants submitted to drought. There are intermediate correlations among plant transpiration and nutrient uptake by plants under drought. Plants of the genotype SP81-3250 are more tolerante to prolonged drought, than the RB855453 and IACSP95-5000 plants.


RESUMO Embora existam evidências de que o adequado fornecimento de nutrientes minerais para plantas alivia o estresse hídrico, pouco se sabe sobre a abordagem de como a seca afeta a absorção e acumulação de nutrientes por distintos genótipos de cana-de-açúcar, ou por diferentes partes de uma mesma planta. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi determinar o teor e acúmulo de N, P e K na parte aérea da planta de três genótipos de cana-de-açúcar, submetidos a três potenciais hídricos do solo e verificar se existe relação dessas variáveis ​​com a tolerância das plantas ao déficit hídrico prolongado. Para isso, foi realizado um experimento em casa de vegetação, em um esquema fatorial 3×3, em delineamento de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Após 90 dias da imposição dos tratamentos, foi determinada a massa seca e a taxa de transpiração das plantas, a concentração de N, P e K nas folhas e colmos, além do acúmulo desses nutrientes na parte aérea das plantas. Verificou-se que a tolerância à seca em cana está relacionada com níveis mais altos de N e K nas folhas e caules e maiores acumulações de K e P na parte aérea das plantas. Existem fortes correlações positivas entre acúmulo de N, P e K na parte aérea das plantas e produção de matéria seca. Existem correlações intermediárias entre a transpiração da planta e absorção de nutrientes pelas plantas sob seca. Plantas do genótipo SP81-3250 são mais tolerantes à seca prolongada, que as plantas RB855453 e IACSP95-5000.

ABSTRACT

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) production is influenced by various abiotic stresses, including salt stress. Salinity can induce oxidative stress, which in turn damages biomolecules and cellular structures. However, such damage can be avoided or minimized by the enzymatic and non-enzymatic defense systems of plants. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of exogenous proline on Na+ and K+ content and on the activity of catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and peroxidase in two sugarcane genotypes (RB931011 and RB872552) grown in vitro under salt stress. The plants were grown for 20 days with or without 100 mM NaCl and exposed to 20 mM proline for varying period of time. The data were subjected to ANOVA factorial (two genotypes and five treatments), and the mean values were compared by Tukey test at a 5 % probability. Under salinity stress, both genotypes exhibited membrane integrity reduction, reduced total soluble protein content and unaltered or increased endogenous proline content. Exogenous proline reduced Na+ accumulation in a manner proportional to the exposition period at the amino acid. In both genotypes, antioxidant enzymes activity increased with the addition of NaCl. In conclusion, RB931011 genotype showed higher proline accumulation and increased in activity of the antioxidant enzymes, indicating better salt stress tolerance than in RB872552 genotype.


La producción de caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.) está influenciada por varios factores abióticos desfavorables, como el estrés salino. La salinidad puede inducir el estrés oxidativo, que causa daño a las biomoléculas y a las estructuras celulares. Sin embargo, estos daños se puede evitar o minimizar por los sistemas de defensa enzimático y no enzimáticos de las plantas. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el efecto de la prolina exógena en el contenido de Na+ e K+, y la actividad de la catalasa, ascorbato peroxidasa y peroxidasa en dos genotipos de caña de azúcar (RB931011 y RB872552) cultivados in vitro bajo estrés salino. Las plantas se cultivaron durante 20 días en presencia o ausencia de NaCl 100 mM y expuestos a prolina 20 mM durante un periodo de tiempo variable. Los datos fueron sometidos a ANOVA factorial (dos genotipos y cinco tratamientos), y las medias se compararon mediante la prueba de Tukey al 5 % de probabilidad. Bajo estrés salino, ambos genotipos mostraron reducción en la integridad de la membrana, disminución de las proteínas solubles totales y el mantenimiento o incremento en el contenido de prolina endógena. La prolina exógena reduce la acumulación de Na+ en proporción al período de exposición al aminoácido. En ambos genotipos, la actividad de las enzimas antioxidantes se incrementó con la adición de NaCl. En conclusión, el genotipo RB931011 mostró mayor acumulación de prolina y un mayor aumento de la actividad de la catalasa, ascorbato peroxidasa y peroxidasa, lo que indica una mejor tolerancia al estrés salino en comparación con el genotipo RB872552.

ABSTRACT

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of detoxified castor bean meal (CM) content on the chemical-bromatological composition, as well as the fermentation characteristics and dry matter losses of sugarcane silage. The treatments consisted of four levels (0, 7, 14 and 21% natural matter) of addition of castor bean meal. The design was completely randomized, with five replicates. The material was ensiled in PVC silos of 50-cm in height and 10-cm in diameter, which were opened after 60 days. The density of fodder maintained in the silos was equal to 750kg of natural matter/m3. In order to quantify the gas and effluent losses, the silos were weighed at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. The addition of castor bean meal has increased the levels of DM and crude protein and reduced the levels of neutral detergent fiber, N-NH3, ethanol, and gas and effluent losses from silages, but did not affect pH values. During ensiling, alcoholic fermentation was controlled with the inclusion of the additive.


O experimento foi desenvolvido para avaliar os efeitos da inclusão de níveis de farelo de mamona destoxificado sobre a composição químico-bromatológica, as características fermentativas e as perdas de matéria seca da silagem de cana-de-açúcar. Os tratamentos consistiam em quatro níveis (0, 7, 14 e 21% da matéria natural) de inclusão do farelo de mamona. O delineamento foi inteiramente ao acaso, com cinco repetições. Foram usados silos de PVC, com 50cm de altura e 10cm de diâmetro, para a produção das silagens, que foram abertos após 60 dias. A densidade de forragem nos silos foi correspondente a 750kg de matéria natural/m3. Os silos foram pesados no início e ao final do período experimental para quantificar as perdas por gases e efluentes. A inclusão de farelo de mamona elevou os teores de MS e proteína bruta e reduziu os teores de fibra em detergente neutro, N-NH3, etanol e as perdas por gases e efluentes das silagens, não ocasionando efeito nos valores de pH. A fermentação alcoólica durante a ensilagem foi controlada com a inclusão do aditivo.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar os efeitos de herbicidas na atividade da microbiota rizosférica e no crescimento da cana-de-açúcar. Para isso, sete herbicidas (tembotrione, MSMA, diuron+hexazinone, sulfentrazone, trifloxysulfuron-sodiun, tebuthiuron e clomazone) foram aplicados em pós-emergência da cana-de-açúcar cultivada em vaso contendo 12 dm3 de substrato (solo + fertilizantes). Foram avaliados os efeitos desses produtos na evolução do CO2 do solo (C-CO2), no carbono da biomassa microbiana (CBM), no quociente metabólico (qCO2), na atividade da enzima fosfomonoesterase ácida do solo rizosférico em amostras de solo coletadas aos 44 dias após aplicação dos herbicidas (DAT) e os efeitos no crescimento aos 77 DAT. Inicialmente os herbicidas MSMA, clomazone, sulfentrazone e trifloxysulfuron-sodium causaram intoxicação à cultura. Todavia, apenas nas plantas tratadas com o trifloxysulfuron-sodium esses sintomas permaneceram visíveis no momento da colheita do experimento. Quanto aos efeitos dos herbicidas sobre a atividade da microbiota rizoférica da cana-de-açúcar, o sulfentrazone e tebuthiuron reduziram a C-CO2 e o MSMA, tebuthiuron e clomazone reduziram o CBM do solo. O clomazone foi o herbicida que causou o maior impacto na atividade da microbiota, pois aumentou o valor do qCO2. Por outro lado, o sulfentrazone reduziu os valores dessa variável, contribuindo para o equilíbrio da microbiota no solo. Não houve influência dos herbicidas na atividade da fosfomonoesterase ácida do solo rizosférica da cana-de-açúcar.


The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of herbicides used in their recommended doses, on the activity of the microbiota and sugar cane growth. For this, seven herbicides (tembotrione, MSMA, hexazinone + diuron, sulfentrazone, trifloxysulfuron-sodiun, and tebuthiuron cloamzone) were applied in pots containing 12 dm3 substrate (soil + fertilizer) at 50 days after sugarcane planting. The effects of these products on the evolution of soil CO2 (CO2-C), in the microbial biomass carbon (MBC), metabolic quotient (qCO2), enzyme activity in the rhizosphere acid phosphomonoesterase in rhizosphere soil samples collected at 44 days after herbicide application (DAT) and the growth effects at 77 DAT. Initially herbicides MSMA, clomazone, sulfentrazone and trifloxysulfuron-sodium caused poisoning in culture. However, only plants treated with trifloxysulfuron-sodium, these symptoms remained visible at harvest of the experiment. The effects of herbicides on microbial activity rizoferica of sugar cane, sulfentrazone and tebuthiuron reduced CO2-C and MSMA herbicide clomazone and reduced the CBM soil. The herbicide clomazone was that caused the greatest impact on microbial activity because of the increased value qCO2. Moreover, the sulfentrazone reduced values of that variable, contributing to the balance of microflora in the soil. No influence of herbicides on the activity of acid phosphomonoesterase rhizospheric on the sugarcane soil.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to clone and characterize a full length cDNA of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (SoPAL). Differential tissue expression pattern of the SoPAL transcript and its enzyme activity was also analyzed during the tillering stage of growth. The full-length of SoPAL cDNA was 2118 bp long and contained a protein with 706 amino acids, determined by encoding technique. The amino acid sequence and phylogenic analysis of the cloned SoPAL showed high similarity to PAL from other monocotyledonous such as sorghum (96%), maize (93%) and Bamboos (87.12%). The highest levels of SoPAL transcript were observed in the root and stem, while its minimal gene expression levels were in the leaves and sheath, respectively. The highest level of SoPAL enzyme activity was in the leaves. These results helped to understanding the characteristics of PAL biosynthesis and its regulation at the molecular level in sugarcane. This information could be critical for the manipulation of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in the plant using biotechnological processes.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this work was to induce direct somatic embryogenesis from segments of immature leaves of the RB872552 variety of sugarcane and to correlate this morphogenic event with oxidative stress. Two previously described protocols were utilized for the induction of somatic embryogenesis in sugarcane with different supplementations of the culture medium and different incubation conditions. For the conversion of embryos into plants was used MS medium without phytoregulators. Histological analyses and activity of antioxidant enzymes were also conducted for the embryogenic and non-embryogenic tissues. The formation of somatic embryos was obtained in 81 % of the explants with the combination of regulators 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid)and BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) when incubated under 16 h photoperiod. With regards to the antioxidant enzymes, there was increased activity of peroxidase and an increase in the soluble protein content in embryogenic tissues, whereas lower activities of polyphenol oxidase and catalase appeared in these tissues compared to nonembryogenic tissues. It could be inferred that oxidative stress plays an important role in the induction of somatic embryogenesis in sugarcane.


El objetivo de este trabajo fue inducir la embriogénesis somática directa en segmentos de hojas jóvenes en la variedad de caña de azúcar RB872552, e investigar la correlación de este evento morfogénico con el estrés oxidativo. Se utilizaron dos protocolos de inducción de embriogénesis somática, previamente descritos para caña de azúcar, con distintas suplementaciones en el medio de cultivo y en las condiciones de incubación. Para la conversión de embriones en plantas se utilizó el medio MS sin fitoreguladores. Se realizaron además análisis histológicas y de actividad enzimática antioxidante en tejidos embriogénicos y no embriogénicos. La formación de embriones somáticos ocurrió en 81 % de los explantes, con la combinación de los reguladores de crecimiento 2,4-D (ácido 2,4-diclorofenoxiacético) y BAP (6-bencilaminopurina) e incubación bajo un fotoperiodo de 16 h. Respecto a las enzimas antioxidantes, se observó un incremento en la actividad de peroxidasa y en el contenido de proteínas solubles en los tejidos embriogénicos, mientras que la polifenoloxidasa y la catalasa presentaron valores más bajos de actividad en estos tejidos, en comparación con los no embriogénicos. Se podría inferir que el estrés oxidativo juega un papel importante en la inducción de la embriogénesis somática en caña de azúcar.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: policosanol, a mixture of high molecular weight aliphatic alcohols purified from sugarcane with octacosanol as the main component, shows cholesterol-lowering and antiplatelet effects in addition to an inhibitory effect on type I cicloxygenase. OBJECTIVE: to determine whether policosanol may inhibit 5-LOX enzyme activity in vitro. METHODS: effects on 5-LOX enzyme activities were assessed in rat blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Vehicle or Policosanol suspensions (0.6 to 6 000 µg/mL) were added to tubes containing the reaction mix and then absorbance changes at 234 nm were measured. RESULTS: added Policosanol inhibited in vitro 5-LOX activity by 30 percent, which was not a significant figure but depended on the concentration(r= 0.992; p< 0.05); it was 1 250 µg/mL. CONCLUSIONS: policosanol did not significantly inhibit 5-LOX enzyme activity in rat PMNL preparations, so that it does not seem to be a dual inhibitor of COX and-LOX enzymes. This result differs from that found for beeswax alcohols and underlines the different effects of the mixtures of long-chain fatty alcohols purified from the sugarcane and the beeswax(AU).


IINTRODUCCIÓN: el policosanol es una mezcla de alcoholes alifáticos aislados y purificados de la caña de azúcar cuyo componente mayoritario es el octacosanol, con efecto sobre la reducción de colesterol y antiagregante plaquetario, además inhibe la ciclooxigenasa (COX) tipo 1. OBJETIVO: determinar el poder de inhibición del policosanol en la actividad de la enzima 5-LOX in vitro. MÉTODOS: el efecto sobre la actividad de la enzima 5-LOX se determinó en leucocitos polimorfonucleares obtenidos de sangre de ratas. Se añadieron vehículo o suspensiones de policosanol (0,6 a 6 000 µg/mL) a tubos que contenían la mezcla de reacción y se medió el cambio de absorbancia a 234 nm. RESULTADOS: la adición de policosanol inhibió in vitro la actividad de la 5-LOX en un 30 por ciento que no fue significativo pero sí dependiente de la concentración (r= 0,992; p< 0,05), inhibición esta que alcanzó 1 250 µg/mL. CONCLUSIÓN: el policosanol no inhibió significativamente la actividad de la enzima 5-LOX en preparación de polimorfonucleares de ratas, por lo que no es un inhibidor dual de las enzimas. Este resultado difiere del encontrado para los alcoholes de la cera de abeja y subraya la diferencia de los efectos hallados entre las mezclas de alcoholes alifáticos de cadenas largas purificados de la caña de azúcar y la cera de abeja(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: Sugarcane is one of the world's largest crop. It grows in the tropical and subtropical regions, and its harvest provides 80% of the world's sugar. In Latin America unrefined cane sugar is widely available and much less expensive than refined sugar. Sugarcane is a crop of great interest in Colombia due to the economic impact on the rural population and its application as sweetener agent. The powder of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is widely used as a raw material in a wide range of industries such as foods, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical. Objectives: The aim of the research work was the evaluation of the adsorption thermodynamics of sugarcane powder obtained by spray drying technology. Methods: The adsorption isotherms of sugarcane powder were evaluated at temperatures of 4 ± 0.1, 20 ± 0.2 and 30 ± 0.3 °C and its thermodynamic properties such as Gibbs free energy (G), differential heat of adsorption (∆H) and differential entropy (∆S) were calculated as a function of moisture content. Experimental data of adsorption isotherms were fitted to the GAB (Guggenheim ­ Andersen - de Boer), BET (Brunauer ­ Emmett - Teller), Henderson, Caurie, Smith, Hasley, Peleg, and Oswin models. Results: The results showed a type-II sigmoidal behavior, with temperature having a statistically significant effect. The GAB equation showed a better fit to the experimental data modeling (0.11≤aw≤0.87) although all models showed validity and goodness of fit to the experimental data. The net isosteric heat increased to a maximum value (57 kJ mol-1) and then decreased with the increase in moisture content. Conclusions: The sugarcane powder with maltodextrin, obtained by spray drying got low adsorption thermodynamic stability, as it required very low energy to occur this phenomenon, being obtained the maximum net isosteric heat when moisture content of 4.7% (d.b). This value is within the range of the monolayer moisture content found in the GAB and BET models.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el D-003 es un ingrediente farmacéutico activo purificado a partir de la cera de caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.) con efectos como reductor del colesterol y antioxidante, el cual está compuesto por una mezcla de ácidos grasos libres saturados de elevado peso molecular, cada uno dentro de un intervalo de concentración específica determinada por cromatografía de gases (CG). La caracterización espectroscópica del D-003, sin embargo, no ha sido previamente informada. Objetivo: caracterizar el ingrediente farmacéutico activo nombrado D-003 de acuerdo con sus espectros ultravioleta (UV), infrarrojo (FTIR), resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) y de masas (EM). Métodos: se evaluaron muestras de seis lotes de D-003 (CNIC, Cuba) mediante las técnicas de UV, FTIR, RMN-¹H, RMN-13C y CG-EM. Para obtener los espectros de masas de los ácidos del D-003, estos se derivaron como ésteres metílicos y trimetilsilil. La cuantificación de los ácidos grasos libres saturados de elevado peso molecular, analizados como ésteres metílicos, se llevó a cabo por CG con detector de ionización por llama (DILL). Resultados: los espectros UV, IR, RMN-¹H y RMN-13C mostraron que el ingrediente farmacéutico activo D00-3 está constituido por una mezcla de ácidos grasos libres saturados de elevado peso molecular, mientras las técnicas de CG-EM y CG-DILL permitieron asegurar la presencia de 13 ácidos grasos libres saturados de elevado peso molecular en proporciones definidas: C24:0 (0,2-0,6 por ciento), C25:0 (0,4-0,9 por ciento), C26:0 (2,0-3,1 por ciento), C27:0 (2,1-2,7 por ciento), C28:0 (30,0-37,5 por ciento), C29:0 (1,5-1,7 por ciento), C30:0 (17,0-18,6 por ciento), C31:0 (0,9-1,2 por ciento), C32:0 (6,9-8,9 por ciento), C33:0 (0,9-1,3 por ciento), C34:0 (7,2-11,1 por ciento), C35:0 (0,3-0,6 por ciento) y C36:0 (2,2-3,8 por ciento)(AU)


Introduction: D-003, an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) purified from sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum L.) wax with cholesterol-lowering and antioxidant effects, is composed of a mixture of free saturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), each within specific relative concentration ranges as determined by the gas chromatography (GC). However, the spectroscopic characterization of D-003 had not been previously reported. Objective: to characterize the active pharmaceutical ingredient named D003 in accordance to its ultraviolet (UV), infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass (MS) spectra. Methods: samples of six batches of D-003 (CNIC, Cuba) were evaluated by UV, FTIR, NMR-¹H, NMR-13C, and GC-MS techniques. For obtaining the mass spectra of D-003 acids, methyl (FAME) and trimethylsilyl ester derivatives were used. Quantification of free very long chain saturated fatty acids , analyzed as methyl ester derivatives, was made by GC with flame ionisation detector (FID). Results: UV, FTIR, and ¹H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra showed that active pharmaceutical ingredient D-003 was composed of a mixture of free very long chain fatty acids, whereas the GC-MS and GC-FID techniques allowed ensuring the occurrence of 13 VLCFAs in set proportions: C24:0 (0.2-0.6 percent), C25:0 (0.4-0.9 percent), C26:0 (2.0-3.1 percent), C27:0 (2.1-2.7 percent), C28:0 (30.0-37.5 percent), C29:0 (1.5-1.7 percent), C30:0 (17.0-18.6 percent), C31:0 (0.9-1.2 percent), C32:0 (6.9-8.9 percent), C33:0 (0.9-1.3 percent), C34:0 (7.2-11.1 percent), C35:0 (0.3-0.6 percent) and C36:0 (2.2-3.8 percent). Conclusions: evidences from the UV, FTIR, NMR and GC-MS spectroscopic techniques prove that D-003 is composed of 13 saturated very long chain fatty acids, including octacosanoic acid as the most abundant one(AU)

ABSTRACT

O trabalho foi conduzido com o uso de dois subprodutos das agroindústrias regionais - bagaço de cana de açúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.) e soro de queijo. Estes subprodutos isoladamente apresentam baixo valor nutricional, porém quando associados podem ser reaproveitados para uso na alimentação de ruminantes. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetivou analisar a composição bromatológica de tais subprodutos na forma de ensilagem com adição ou não do grão de milho. Foram confeccionados silos experimentais com canos de PVC de 10 centímetros de diâmetro por 50 cm de comprimento, contendo os seguintes tratamentos: tratamento controle - bagaço de cana de açúcar com adição de água; tratamento 1- bagaço de cana de açúcar com adição de soro de queijo; e tratamento 2- bagaço de cana de açúcar com adição de soro de queijo e grão de milho, com três repetições cada. Amostras de materiais antes da ensilagem e após a abertura dos silos foram colhidas para avaliar os percentuais de matéria seca (MS), fibra em detergente ácido (FDA), proteína bruta (PB), cinzas e pH. O maior percentual de MS foi obtido na silagem contendo soro e milho. Os percentuais de PB e cinzas foram pouco influenciados pelos tratamentos. Os valores de pH estiveram no padrão aceitável para silagens de boa qualidade. A adição de soro e grão de milho melhorou os teores de MS, FDA e pH das silagens. Os resultados desta pesquisa demonstraram que a silagem com adição de soro e milho apresentaram melhores resultados nos percentuais de MS, FDA e pH das silagens, o que justifica seu uso na alimentação de ruminantes.


The study was conducted using two byproducts of regional agribusinesses - sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum L.) marc and cheese whey. These by-products have low nutritional value alone, but when combined can be recycled for use in ruminant feed. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the chemical composition of by-products such as silage with or without addition of corn grain. Experimental silos were made with PVC pipes 10 inches in diameter by 50 cm long, containing the following treatments: control diet - sugar cane marc with added water; treatment 1 - sugar cane marc with added whey cheese, and treatment 2 - sugar cane marc with added whey and corn grain, with three replicates each. Samples of material before ensiling and after opening the silos were collected to evaluate the percentage of dry matter (DM), acid detergent fiber (ADF), crude protein (CP), ash and pH. The highest percentage of MS was obtained in serum-containing and corn silage. The percentages of crude protein and ash were little affected by treatments. The pH values were in the acceptable standard for good quality silage. The addition of serum and improved corn grain DM, FDA and pH of silages. These results demonstrated that the addition of whey silage and corn showed better results in the percentage of MS, FDA and pH of silages, which justifies its use in ruminant feed.


El estudio se realizó con el uso de dos subproductos agroindustriales regionales - bagazo de caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.) y suero de queso. Estos subproductos aislados presentan bajo valor nutricional, pero cuando asociados pueden ser reaprovechados para uso en la alimentación de rumiantes. Así, este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la composición bromatológica de estos subproductos en la forma de ensilaje, con o sin adición de grano de maíz. Silos experimentales fueron hechos con tubos de PVC de 10 cm de diámetro y 50 cm de largo, que contiene los siguientes tratamientos: tratamiento control - bagazo de caña de azúcar con agua añadida; el tratamiento 1 - bagazo de caña de azúcar con adición de suero de queso; y tratamiento 2 - bagazo de caña de azúcar con suero de queso y grano de maíz, con tres repeticiones cada uno. Muestras de materiales antes del ensilaje y después de la apertura de los silos fueron recogidas para evaluar los porcentuales de materia seca (MS), fibra en detergente ácido (FDA), proteína cruda (PC), cenizas y pH. El mayor porcentaje de MS se obtuvo en el ensilaje conteniendo suero y maíz. El porcentaje de proteína cruda y cenizas fueron poco afectados por los tratamientos. Los valores de pH estuvieron en estándar aceptable para ensilajes de buena calidad. La adición de suero y grano de maíz ha mejorado los contenidos de MS, FDA y pH de los ensilajes. Los resultados de este estudio mostraron que el ensilaje con adición de suero y maíz presentaron mejores resultados en los porcentuales de MS, FDA y pH de los ensilajes, lo que justifica su uso en la alimentación de los rumiantes.

ABSTRACT

A adubação inadequada com resíduos orgânicos pode levar a adição de metais pesados no solo e na planta. Assim, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar os teores de metais pesados no solo e na cultura de cana-de-açúcar na região de Uberlândia- MG, quando fertilizado com adubo mineral e dejetos orgânicos, em diferentes profundidades e épocas de crescimento da planta. A área da pesquisa localizou-se na Fazenda da Cia Mineira de Açúcar e Álcool do Triângulo Mineiro Ltda, município de Uberlândia­MG. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualisados, em esquema fatorial de parcelas subdivididas no espaço, em 5x2x4, correspondendo a cinco tipos de adubo: cama de frango , cama de peru , adubo compostado , esterco bovino e a testemunha, todos combinados com a presença e/ou a ausência de gesso agrícola; analisado em quatro profundidades e em duas épocas. Foram avaliados os teores de metais pesados no solo, nas folhas e nos colmos da cana-de-açúcar. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias dos fatores comparadas pelo teste de Tukey ao nível de 0,05 de significância. Os teores dos metais pesados no colmo não ultrapassaram o limite crítico e foram menores na época seca. Não foram detectados Cd e Cr no solo, e Ni e Pb estiveram abaixo do limite crítico de contaminação. O gesso não influenciou nos teores metais pesados no solo e na parte aérea da planta.


The fertilizing inadequate by means of organic residues can add heavy metals to soils and plants. Thus, this study evaluated the movement of heavy metals in the soil and in sugarcane in the region of Uberlândia- MG, after fertilization with chemical fertilizer and organic waste, at different depths and cane growth periods. The study area was the farm of Cia Mineira de Açúcar e Álcool do Triângulo Mineiro Ltda, located in the municipality of Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in a 5x2x4 factorial, with split plots in time, corresponding to five fertilizer types: chicken bedding (CF), turkey bedding (CP), composted manure (AC), cattle manure (EB) and the control, all combined with the presence or lack of agricultural gypsum; analyzed at four depths and at two times. The heavy metals was evaluated in the soil, sugarcane stalk and leaves. The results obtained were submitted to analysis of variance and the averages of the factors compared by the Tukey test at 0.05 significance. The heavy metals contents in the stalks were smaller in time 2. In contrast, heavy metals stalk contents did not exceed the critical limit. No Cd and Cr were detected in the soil, while Ni and Pb were below the critical contamination limit. Agricultural gypsum did not affect the levels of micronutrients or heavy metals in the soil or in the sugarcane.

ABSTRACT

Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar padrões de crescimento e de produção de variedades de cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum officinarum L.) com os graus-dias e disponibilidade hídrica, durante os cultivos de cana-planta e cana-soca, na região dos Tabuleiros Costeiros Alagoano. O trabalho foi desenvolvido na área experimental de Agrometeorologia da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, Rio Largo-AL, num solo classificado como Latossolo Amarelo coeso argissólico. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos cazualizados com cinco repetições e quatro tratamentos: variedades RB92579, RB931530, RB93509 e SP79-1011. As variáveis da cultura utilizadas foram: perfilhamento, altura da planta, índice de área foliar (IAF), acúmulo de matéria seca no colmo e produção final. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre as médias de perfilhamento das variedades em todas as épocas amostradas, de forma geral o maior perfilhamento foi observado na variedade RB92579. O crescimento das plantas apresentou curvas de formato sigmoidal, com três fases distintas. Na fase de estabelecimento da cultura, apesar de ter ocorrido ótima disponibilidade hídrica, o crescimento foi lento. Na fase de crescimento vegetativo as plantas não cresceram em potencial, porque houve deficiências hídricas. A fase final ocorreu entre 1500 e 2015 GD na cana-planta e 950 e 1800 GD na cana-soca. A variedade RB92579 alcançou valores de IAF superiores a 3, logo aos 600 GD nos dois ciclos, permanecendo o restante dos ciclos acima desse valor, contribuindo para uma melhor eficiência no uso da água e para o maior acúmulo de matéria seca.


This work had the aim of evaluating the growth standard and yield of different sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) varieties with meteorogical parameter, during the plant and ratoon crop cane in Mesas regions of Alagoas. This work was carried out in an experimental area of Agrometeorology used a randomized outline with five repetition and four treatments: varieties RB92579, RB931530, SP79-1011 e RB93509, in the Agrarian Center of University Federal of Alagoas in Northeast of Brazil, Rio Largo AL, in a United Argissolico Yellow Latossolo soil. The plant parameter utilized to measure the growth were: tillering, plant height, leaf area index (LAI), dry mater accumulation in stalk and yield sugarcane. No differences were observed among tillering media from varieties in all samplings, and in general, the variety RB92579 obtained the biggest tillering. The sugarcane growth showed sigmoidal shape curve, with three different phases. In the crop initial phase, although it occurred great water conditions the sugarcane growth was slow. In the elongation phase the sugarcane didn't grow in potential, due the occurred water deficit in this phase. The last phase occurred between 1500 e 2015 GD in plant cane and 950 e 1800 GD in ratoon crop. The variety RB92579 obtained LAI values of 3 very early (in 600 GD), this contributed to improve the water use efficient and to accumulate more dry matter. The variety RB92579 obtained the biggest tillering ant height of stalk, a result of that, it obtained the biggest yield sugarcane.
