RESUMO

Although the burrower bug (Cyrtomenus mirabilis) is considered a vitalsoil pest in peanut crops, Arachis hypogaea L., in South America, there is little information on its occurrence and damage characterization. This study aimed to evaluate the vertical distribution and fluctuation of the burrower bug in the soil and the damage this species causes in peanuts. Two peanut cultivars (IAC OL3 and IAC 503) were evaluated in three locations in the state of São Paulo: Pindorama, Ribeirão Preto and Votuporanga, in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 harvests. Trenches were dug 0.5 m long, 0.3 m wide and 0.3 m deep, along plant lines at four spots on each sampling date, and stratified in layers 10 cm deep. Plant samples (0.5 m) were collected and evaluated for number of pods and percentage of kernels with symptoms of insect damage. More than 85 % of the C. mirabilis population was found in depths of up to 10 cm, especially after plant fructification, and an increase in nymphs from 100 days after sowing (DAS) was seen when an increased number of maturing pods was observed. The occurrence of nymphs and adults of C. mirabilis and their damage to peanut kernels was similar in both cultivars (IAC OL3 and IAC 503), when these were harvested according to their developmental cycles.

RESUMO

This work aimed to isolate and characterize plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from 10 Paspalum genotypes and evaluate the effect of their inoculation on P. regnellii, P. atratum, and P. malacophyllum genotypes. The bacterial population ranged from undetectable to 107 bacterial cells per gram of fresh matter in the Paspalum genotypes. Initially, we isolated 164 bacteria from rhizospheric soil and roots of the Paspalum genotypes using media N-free LG agar plate, semi-solid NFb, and LGI. The isolates were characterized genetically and physiologically. The sequencing of 16S rRNA showed the presence of many genera, and some are new in association with Paspalum. The most common was Bacillus followed by Rhizobium, Paraburkholderia, Enterobacter, Cupriavidus, Pseudomonas, Dyadobacter and Acinetobacter. Thirty-eight per cent of isolates produced siderophores, 25 % produced solubilized phosphate, and only 9 % produced indolic compounds. Three greenhouse experiments were performed in randomized blocks with six replicates using representative bacterial strains isolated from P. regnellii, P. malacophyllum and P. atratum cv. Pojuca. We also included strain Sp245 (Azospirillum baldaniorum), uninoculated control, and nitrogen control (150 kg N ha–1). There was an increase of up to 53 % in shoot dry matter in P. regnellii inoculated with strain Sp245 and the shoots accumulated more N. In contrast, only small effects were observed for the other Paspalum genotypes inoculated with PGPR from the host genotypes. This study shows a high diversity of diazotrophic rhizosphere bacteria and suggests no strain specificity between the bacterial isolates and the Paspalum genotypes.

RESUMO

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of edaphic fauna under a no-tillage system with different levels of soybean productivity [High (NTH), Medium (NTM) and Low (NTL)] in the west of Santa Catarina (Brazil), identifying which chemical and physical variables most affect them, and the best indicators that can be used. Native forest (NF) areas were used as a reference. A total of 207 samples of soil fauna were collected by soil monolith and pitfall trap methods over two years of evaluation in four municipalities. Based on edaphic fauna data, Shannon-Wiener (H’), Pielou (J), Dominance (D), Margalef and Fisher Alpha (α) indices were generated, in addition to the average richness and abundance. Data from NTs were submitted to analysis of variance and compared by Tukey's test (p > 0.05). The NF was used as a reference and compared with the agriculture system by Dunnett test (p > 0.05), and regressions between soybean productivity and diversity indices. The H’, Margalef, α indices, and average richness for soil fauna sampled by soil monoliths followed the productivity gradient NTH > NTM > NTL, showing a positive correlation with the increase of soybean productivity. NTH has a diversity index similar to that of NF. Soybean productivity is affected by the richness and diversity of edaphic fauna, but abundance was not sensitive in predicting treatments under no-tillage; Fisher's alpha index was more sensitive in treatment separation with soil monoliths. The environmental variables aluminum, organic matter, phosphorus, potassium and penetration resistance affect the fauna edaphic.

RESUMO

This study assessed the effect of cover crop biomass on the epigeal fauna of an organic eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cropping system. A randomized block design was used, with four cover crop treatments: brachiaria, crotalaria, millet, and cocktail (brachiaria, crotalaria and millet). The epigeal faunal indices were determined at each plot. The epigeal fauna of a secondary forest site was also assessed for comparison. Epigeal individuals were collected using pitfall traps at two sampling periods (110 and 180 days after mowing cover crops). Soil samples were collected for determination of physical and chemic properties. 2032 individuals were captured in the first sampling and 3806 individuals in the second. The highest values of wealth in the first collection were observed in the millet and cocktail areas. Cluster analysis showed similarity of epigeal faunal groups between millet and brachiaria plots at the first sampling and between cocktail and crotalaria sites at the second sampling. Co-inertia analysis showed a significant covariance between epigeal fauna at the second sampling and soil properties. The cover crops management had a beneficial influence on the activity, wealth and ecological indexes, in both sampling periods. The positive association observed between epigeal faunal groups and soil physical and chemical properties demonstrates the efficiency of cover crops in improving soil quality in organic cropping systems.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da fitomassa de diferentes plantas de cobertura no desenvolvimento da comunidade da fauna epígea em área de cultivo orgânico de berinjela (Solanum melongena, L.). Foi adotado delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com quatro tratamentos de plantas de cobertura: braquiária, crotalária, milheto e coquetel (crotalária, braquiária e milheto), além de uma área de floresta secundária (FR). A fauna epígea avaliada por meio de armadilhas do tipo "pitfall traps" em dois períodos de coletas, aos 110 dias e aos 180 dias, após o corte das plantas de coberturas. Foram coletadas amostras de solo para análise de atributos físicos e químicos. Foram capturados 2032 indivíduos na primeira coleta e 3806 indivíduos na segunda coleta. Os maiores valores de riqueza na primeira coleta foram observados nas áreas milheto e coquetel. A análise de agrupamento mostrou similaridade dos grupos da fauna epígea entre o milheto e braquiária na primeira amostragem e entre o coquetel e crotalária na segunda amostragem. A co-inércia evidenciou covariância significativa entre a fauna epígea da segunda coleta e os atributos do solo. O manejo com plantas de coberturas influenciou de forma benéfica a atividade, riqueza e índices ecológicos, em ambos os períodos de amostragens. A associação positiva entre grupos da fauna e os atributos físicos e químicos mostram a eficiência das plantas de coberturas em cultivo orgânico na promoção de melhorias da qualidade do solo.

RESUMO

The effect of management (ecological and conventional) on functional groups of microorganisms of soil in agroecosystems with different resilience scores reported to climate variability in Anolaima, Colombia was evaluated. Were found clustering associated with management and cellulolytic bacteria and fungi abundances. No differences found in diversity of phosphate solubilizing or nitrogen-fixing microorganisms, related to management. The diversity of microbial functional groups was affected by the climatic condition of sampling season. Management was relevant in relationships between resilience scores to climate variability and cellulolytic microorganisms; in ecological agroecosystems, biodiversity knowledge, agroecological main structure, and the participation of farmers in organizations were important.

RESUMO

The objective of this work was to analyze the physical attributes of a Oxisol of different crop-livestock-forest integration systems implanted in 2012 and in use since then. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design, with four replications and four treatments: ILP - crop - livestock integration; ILPF 1L - agrosilvopastoral system, with one eucalyptus line; ILPF 3L - agrosilvopastoral system, with three eucalyptus lines; and EUC - exclusive plantation of eucalyptus (forest). From June 2017 to May 2018, mechanical penetration and gravimetric soil moisture evaluations were carried out to monitor soil compaction in three depths of soil: 0-0.05; 0.05-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m. The results of the research show that there was a significant difference in the soil attributes studied, being the highest compaction found in the treatment ILPF 3L (0.05-0.10 m) near the limit considered ideal for a good development of the plants. Gravimetric soil moisture did not influence compaction results. In general, the results show that in the soil conditions of the region considered fragile and highly susceptible to compaction, the presence of the animals does not cause a very drastic compaction to the soil, with values lower than the critical limit of 2 MPa.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os atributos físicos de um Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo de diferentes sistemas de integração lavoura-pecuária-floresta implantados em 2012 e em uso desde então. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições e quatro tratamentos: ILP - integração lavoura-pecuária; ILPF 1L - sistema agrossilvipastoril, com uma linha de eucalipto; ILPF 3L - sistema agrossilvipastoril, com três linhas de eucalipto; e EUC - plantio exclusivo de eucalipto (bosque). No período de junho de 2017 a maio de 2018 foram realizadas avaliações da resistência mecânica à penetração e da umidade gravimétrica do solo, a fim de monitorar a compactação, em três camadas do solo: 0-0,05; 0,05-0,10 e 0,10-0,20 m de profundidade. Os resultados mostram que houve diferença significativa para os atributos do solo estudados, sendo a maior compactação encontrada no tratamento ILPF 3L (0,05-0,10 m) próximo ao limite considerado ideal para um bom desenvolvimento das plantas. A umidade gravimétrica do solo não influenciou os resultados de compactação. De modo geral, os resultados mostram que a presença dos animais não causa uma compactação muito drástica ao solo, com valores menores que o limite crítico de 2 MPa.
