ABSTRACT

Aim: To determine total fluoride (TF) concentration in Na2FPO3/Ca-based toothpastes, using fluoride ion selective electrode (F-ISE) by the direct technique, it is necessary to use acid (Ac+) to hydrolyze the FPO32- ion and to dissolve insoluble fluoride salts bound to the abrasive. For NaF/silica-based toothpastes, the use of acid is not necessary (Ac-) and a simplified protocol could be followed. Methods: Thus, we evaluated TF concentration in seven brands of NaF/silica-based toothpastes, following the validated conventional Cury's protocol (Ac+) or a simplification of this protocol (Ac-).Fluoride was analyzed with ISE calibrated with fluoride standard solutions prepared in the same conditions as the samples (Ac+ or Ac-). Results: The mean (±SD; n=21) of TF concentrations (µg F/g) found by Ac+ (971.3±191.2) and Ac- (982.4±201.3) protocols were not statistically different (t test, p=0.22). The TF concentrations found agree with those declared by the manufacturers, except for one toothpaste imported from China. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the determination of fluoride in NaF/silica-based toothpastes can be accurately made using a simplified protocol of analysis

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de duas técnicas de gradação da zircônia no limite de fadiga de próteses parciais fixas (PPFs) de 03 elementos. Blocos pré-sinterizados de 3Y-TZP (zircônia policristalina parcialmente estabilizada por 3% mol de ítria) foram fresados para obter 69 PPFs, que foram divididas em 3 grupos (n = 23). O grupo controle (CTL) foi sinterizado e glazeado odedecendo os parâmetros usuais. Nos dois grupos experimentais as PPFs receberam sílica/vidro antes da sinterização. O grupo sílica sol-gel (SSG) foi graduado pela rota de processamento sol-gel, enquanto o grupo vidro-zircônia-vidro (GZG) foi graduado pela técnica de suspensão (slurry). Os grupos graduados não receberam a camada de glaze após a sinterização. Todas as PPFs foram cimentadas nos pilares de compósito com cimento resinoso de dupla polimerização, incluídas em poliuretano e armazenadas em água por cinco dias. A carga inicial do teste de fadiga foi calculada com base nos resultados do ensaio monotônico de três amostras de cada grupo. Para determinar o limite de fadiga 20 amostras de cada grupo foram submetidas ao método da escada ou staircase (100.000 ciclos/5 Hz). Os limites de fadiga (em Newton) foram: CTL = 1607,27; SSG = 1824,31; GZG = 2006,57 e o teste de Dixon e Mood indicou diferença estatística entre os grupos (intervalo de confiança de 95%). As infiltrações de sílica e vidro no corpo da zircônia, por dois diferentes métodos de gradação, aumentaram o limite de fadiga de PPFs em zircônia monolítica(AU)


The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two grading zirconia techniques on the fatigue limit of 3-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Presintered blocks of 3YTZP (3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal) were milled to obtain sixty-nine 3-unit FDPs, which were divided into three groups (n = 23). The control group (CTL) was sintered and glazed following the usual parameters. In the two experimental groups presintered FDPs received silica/glass before sintering. Silica sol-gel group (SSG) was graded by the sol-gel processing route, while the glasszirconia-glass group (GZG) was graded by a slurry technique. Graded groups did not receive a glaze layer after sintering. All FDPs were then luted with a dual-curing resin cement on composite abutments, embedded in polyurethane and stored in water for five days. The initial load of the fatigue test was calculated based on the results of the monotonic testing applied on three specimens of each group. To determine the fatigue limit, 20 samples of each group were subjected to staircase testing (100,000 cycles/5 Hz). The fatigue limits (in Newtons) were CT = 1607.27, SSG = 1824.31, and GZG = 2006.57, and the Dixon and Mood test indicated statistically significant differences among groups (95% confidence interval). The infiltration of silica and glass on zirconia bulk, by two different grading methods, increased the fatigue limits of monolithic zirconia FDPs(AU)

ABSTRACT

The potential of populations of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) to become resistant to insecticides has stimulated research into alternative tactics of integrated pest management such as the induction of host-plant resistance. Recent data have shown that silicon can increase the degree of resistance of host plants to insect pests. Therefore the aim of our work was to study the effects of silicon application on the vegetative development of soybean plants and on the induction of resistance to the silverleaf whitefly, B. tabaci biotype B. We performed choice and no-choice tests of oviposition preference on two soybean cultivars, IAC-19 (moderately resistant to B. tabaci biotype B) and MONSOY-8001 (susceptible), with and without application of silicon. Silicon did not affect silverleaf whitefly oviposition preferences, but caused significant mortality in nymphs. Thus, silicon increased the degree of resistance to silverleaf whitefly. Silicon decreased the production of phenolic compounds, but did not affect lignin production. However, when applied to cultivar IAC-19, it increased the production of non-protein organic nitrogen. Silicon had no effect on the vegetative development of soybean plants, but it increased the degree of resistance to the silverleaf whitefly. We conclude that silicon applications combined with cultivar IAC-19 can significantly decrease silverleaf whitefly populations, having a positive impact both on the soybean plant and on the environment.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho objetivou estudar o efeito do silício na intensidade da cercosporiose e na nutrição mineral de mudas de cafeeiro. No experimento 1, testou-se seis doses de ácido silícico (0, 0,5; 1; 2; 4 e 6 g kg­1 de solo) em mudas da cultivar Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99 inoculadas com o fungo Cercospora coffeicola. No experimento 2, foram realizadas microanálises de raios-X para a avaliação de nutrientes presentes nas folhas das mudas de cafeeiro das cultivares Topázio MG1190 e Icatu Precoce IAC 3282, inoculadas e não inoculadas com C. coffeicola, com e sem silicato de cálcio (1 g kg-1 de solo). Com o aumento das doses de ácido silícico observou-se redução na área abaixo da curva de progresso do número de lesões por folha (AACPNLF), redução linear nos teores foliares de magnésio e fósforo e aumento nos teores de enxofre e cobre. Os teores foliares de boro apresentaram comportamento quadrático, diminuindo com o aumento das doses de ácido silícico e aumentando a partir da dose de 4 g kg-1 de solo. Em microanálise de raio X, mudas de cafeeiro com cercosporiose apresentam menores picos de potássio e cálcio, independente da cultivar utilizada.


Our objective was to verify the effect of silicon on the intensity of brown eye spot and on the mineral nutrition of coffee seedlings. In the first experiment, 6 doses of silicic acid (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 g kg-1 soil) were tested using a complete randomized block design with 4 replicates with 6 coffee seedlings cultivar Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99 inoculated with the fungus Cercospora coffeicola. In the second experiment, X-ray microanalysis in a scanning electron microscope was performed on 2 coffee cultivars (Topazio MG1190 and Icatu Precoce IAC 3282), inoculated and non-inoculated with C. coffeicola, treated and untreated with calcium silicate (1 g kg-1 of soil). With the increase of the silicic acid doses, there was observed a reduction in the area under the disease progress curve of the number of lesions per leaf (AUPCNLL), coupled with a linear reduction in the foliar contents of magnesium and phosphorus as well as an increase in the contents of sulfur and copper. The foliar contents of boron presented a quadratic behavior, decreasing with the increase of silicic acid and increasing with the dose of 4 g kg-1 of soil. In X-ray microanalysis, coffee seedlings with brown eye spot presented lower peaks of potassium and calcium, regardless of the cultivar used.

ABSTRACT

O pulgão-verde Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) é um dos principais insetos-praga da cultura do trigo, sendo capaz de levar a planta à morte pela sucção de seiva e injeção de toxina, além de transmitir vírus. Uma tática recomendada para o manejo de pulgões em trigo é a utilização de inseticidas seletivos, principalmente no tratamento de sementes. Assim, Conduziu-se esta pesquisa, com o objetivo de monitorar o comportamento alimentar de S. graminum alimentado com plantas de trigo tratadas com silício e/ou imidacloprid, além da avaliação de aspectos biológicos do inseto. O experimento foi conduzido no Departamento de Entomologia, UFLA, com trigo 'Embrapa 22', S. graminum, ácido silícico a 1% e tratamento de sementes com imidacloprid. Para tanto, foi realizado ensaio de biologia, iniciado aos 15, 30 e 45 dias após a germinação das sementes, e avaliada a excreção de honeydew. Os tratamentos foram distribuídos em esquema fatorial 2 (sem silício e com silício) x 2 (sem imidacloprid e com imidacloprid), com dez repetições em ambos os ensaios. Verificou-se que o imidacloprid atuou como detergente sobre adultos e letal em ninfas de S. graminum até 45 dias após o tratamento de sementes. Além disso, as plantas tratadas com silício mostraram-se resistentes a S. graminum.


The greenbug Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the main pest insects on wheat crop, being capable of leading a plant to death by sap suction and toxin injection, in addition to transmitting viruses. A strategy recommended to the management of aphids on wheat is the use of selective insecticides, mainly in the seed treatment. This way, in this research, the objective was to monitor the feeding behavior of S. graminum on wheat plants treated with silicon and/or imidachloprid, in addition to evaluate some biological features of the insect. The experiment was carried out at the Entomology Department, UFLA, on wheat cultivar Embrapa 22, S. graminum, 1% silicic acid, and imidachloprid seed treatment. The biology assay was conduced, starting at 15, 30, and 45 days after the seed germination, and the honeydew excretion was evaluated. The treatments were distributed in factorial scheme 2 (with silicon and without silicon) x 2 (with imidachloprid and without imidachloprid), with 10 replicates. It was observed that the systemic insecticide imidachloprid acts as a deterrent on adults and it is lethal on nymphs of S. graminum up to 45 days after seed treatment. Furthermore, the plants treated with silicon showed resistance to S. graminum.

ABSTRACT

O pulgão Myzus persicae (Sulzer) é considerado praga-chave da cultura da batata inglesa, cuja produtividade depende do uso de inseticidas para o seu controle. Este trabalho foi conduzido para verificar o efeito do silício e do imidaclopride na colonização de plantas por M. persicae e seus possíveis reflexos positivos no desenvolvimento da batata inglesa. Foram testados cinco tratamentos, com sete repetições: 1- testemunha; 2- ácido silícico a 1 por cento; 3- imidacloprid na dosagem recomendada (252g ha-1); 4- ácido silícico a 1 por cento e imidacloprid na metade da dosagem recomendada (126g ha-1); e 5- imidaclopride na metade da dosagem recomendada (126g ha-1). Após 20 dias do plantio, as plantas (cv. Emeraude) foram infestadas com dez pulgões adultos. Avaliaram-se, após 20 dias da infestação, o número de ninfas e de adultos de pulgões, a altura, o diâmetro, o número de folhas e a fitomassa fresca e seca das plantas. As plantas tratadas com o inseticida foram pouco colonizadas pelos pulgões e aquelas tratadas com silício apresentaram menor infestação em relação à testemunha. Em relação à altura, ao diâmetro e à fitomassa, não houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos, porém a testemunha apresentou menor número de folhas. Assim, o silício diminuiu a colonização da batata por M. persicae e o uso da metade da dosagem recomendada de imidacloprid (126g ha-1) foi igualmente eficiente para impedir a colonização, tornando a adubação silicatada mais uma tática a ser testada no manejo integrado de pragas da batateira.


The aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is a key pest of potato crops, the yield of which depends on insecticides for its control. This research was carried out to verify the effect of silicon and imidacloprid on the colonization of potato plants by M. persicae and its possible positive consequences on development parameters. Five treatments with seven replications were tested: 1- control treatment; 2- 1 percent silicic acid; 3- imidacloprid at the recommended dosage (252g ha-1); 4- 1 percent silicic acid and imidacloprid at half recommended dosage (126g ha-1) and 5- imidacloprid at half the recommended dosage (126g ha-1). Twenty days after planting, the plants were infested with ten adult aphids. After 20 days of infestation, the number of nymphs and of adult aphids; the height, the diameter, the number of leaves and the fresh and dried weights of the plants were evaluated. The plants treated with insecticides were not so colonized by the aphids and those with silicon presented lower infestation in relation to the control. In relation to the height, diameter and weights, there was no significant difference among the treatments, however the control presented the lowest number of leaves. Therefore, silicon reduced the colonization of potato by M. persicae and the use of half dosage of imidacloprid (126g ha-1) was equally efficient to prevent the colonization, making silicated fertilization one more strategy to be tested in the integrated management of potato plant pests.

ABSTRACT

The aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is an important pest of potato and causes direct harm, due to the quantity of sap extracted and for being vector of important phytovirus. This work was carried out to evaluate the action of silicon as a resistance inducer of potato to M. persicae. Four treatments were tried: foliar fertilization with silicon acid at 1 percent; soil fertilization with 250 ml silicic acid solution at 1 percent; foliar fertilization with silicon acid at 1 percent + soil fertilization with 250 ml silicic acid solution at 1 percent; and a control. The treatments were applied thirty days after the explants emergence. Fifteen days after the application of the treatments, feeding preference and some biological aspects of the aphids were evaluated. After, the content of tannins and lignin present in the leaves and the activity of the enzymes peroxidase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase were also determined. The silicon fertilization did not affect the preference of the aphids; however it reduced fecundity and the rate of population growth of the insects. The lignin percentage increased in the leaves of plants fertilized with silicon via soil and/or foliar and the percentage of tannins increased only in the leaves fertilized via soil plus foliar. The silicon acted as a resistance inducer to M. persicae in potato.


O pulgão Myzus persicae (Sulzer) é uma importante praga da batateira, causando danos diretos pela quantidade de seiva extraída e por ser vetor de importantes fitovírus. Este trabalho foi realizado para verificar a atuação do silício como indutor de resistência em batata a M. persicae. Foram utilizados quatro tratamentos: adubação foliar com solução de ácido silícico a 1 por cento; adubação via solo com 250 ml de solução de ácido silícico a 1 por cento; adubação foliar com solução de ácido silício a 1 por cento + adubação via solo com 250 ml de solução de ácido silícico a 1 por cento1; e a testemunha. Os tratamentos foram aplicados trinta dias após a emergência das brotações. Após quinze dias da aplicação dos tratamentos avaliou-se a preferência e alguns aspectos biológicos do pulgão. Posteriormente foi feita a quantificação do teor de taninos e de lignina presentes nas folhas e a determinação das atividades das enzimas peroxidase e fenilalanina amônia-liase. A adubação silicatada não afetou a preferência dos pulgões, porém diminuiu a fecundidade e a taxa de crescimento populacional dos insetos. A percentagem de lignina aumentou nas folhas das plantas adubadas com silício via solo e/ou foliar e a porcentagem de taninos aumentou apenas nas folhas das plantas adubadas via solo + foliar. O silício atuou como indutor de resistência a M. persicae em batata.
