Estrategias para mejorar la disponibilidad de fósforo y reducir el impacto ambiental en agrosistemas de arroz
Get PDFPhosphorus (P) is a limiting element in the dynamics of legume-grass succession, because it
fulfills different roles that imply functionality in the absorption efficiency with other elements
such as Nitrogen and Iron (Fe), the latter especially in tropical soils.
Rice has shaped the diet, economy, and culture of millions of people around the world. It is
considered the third most produced crop after corn and wheat on the planet. China is the largest
producer and consumer of rice in the world with an area of 30 million hectares with a total
amount of 145 million tons, while Italy is the main producer of rice in Europe. with an area
of 234,133 ha there is a rice production of more than 1.5 million tons. Rice production faces
agronomic and environmental challenges, such as the reduction of nutrient losses that can
cause contamination of ecosystems, the increase of efficiency in fertilizer applications using
alternative sources such as struvite, the use of friendly practices with the sustainable
development of cover crops during the fallow period to improve soil fertility. Therefore, this
thesis aimed to evaluate the role of P on biological N fixation (BNF) efficiency in legumes
and the role of these cover crops on nutrient dynamics in temperate rice agrosystems (Northern
Italy). Another objective of this thesis was developed under tropical conditions and aimed to
evaluate P forms in acid soils under different water management and fertilized with
conventional and alternative phosphate fertilizers.El fósforo (P) es un macronutriente limitante en la dinámica de la mayoría de cultivos y
particularmente cumple un papel importante en la sucesión de leguminosa-gramínea, debido
a que cumple diferentes roles que implican funcionalidad en la eficiencia en la absorción con
otros elementos como el Nitrógeno y el Hierro (Fe), sobre todo este último en suelos
tropicales.
El arroz ha dado forma a la dieta, la economía y la cultura de millones de personas en todo el

principal productor de arroz de Europa con una superficie de 234.133 hay una producción de
arroz superior a 1.5 millones de toneladas. La producción de arroz enfrenta problemas a nivel
agronómico y ambiental, como el de disminuir las pérdidas de nutrientes que pueden
ocasionar contaminaciones en suelos y aguas, eficiencia en las aplicaciones de fertilizantes
empleando fuentes alternativas como la estruvita, el uso de prácticas amigables con el
desarrollo sostenible de los arrozales como la sucesión y rotación de la relación leguminosagramínea

Micronutrient deficiency and effect of nickel on the nutritional status of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims)
No full textO experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação na FCAV/UNESP. Objetivou-se avaliar a caracterização os sintomas visuais de deficiência de micronutrientes em folhas; e avaliar os efeitos desses micronutrientes no estado nutricional do maracujazeiro amarelo. No experimento foi utilizado solução nutritiva, como substrato vermiculita em extrato úmido. Foram utilizadas mudas de maracujá (Passiflora edulis Sims.) do híbrido comercial BRS Gigante Amarelo do Cerrado. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado; com oito tratamentos (solução completa (Controle), omissão de B, omissão de Cu, omissão de Fe, omissão de Mn, omissão de Mo, omissão de Zn, solução completa + Ni); e 5 repetições. Utilizou-se como unidade experimental; vasos com 8 dm-3 de substrato com 1 planta/vaso e 2 vasos por unidade experimental. Após 60 dias do plantio, foi avaliada a matéria seca de cada tratamento, foi feito diagnóstico visual das deficiências nutricionais em folhas. Semanalmente foi avaliado o teor de clorofila para estabelecer regressão linear ou quadrática, entre os teores de clorofila e as deficiências nutricionais de cada tratamento; uma avaliação de variáveis fisiológicas como a transpiração, fotossíntese, condutância estomática e concentração interna e externa de CO2. Avaliaram-se características morfológicas como desenvolvimentos de pêlos radiculares e alterações no mesofilo foliar. A ordem de manifestação das deficiências no experimento foram as seguintes: Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu>Mo>B; a toxicidade de Níquel apareceu aos 40 dias após ao transplante, com sintomas de clorose nas folhas novas, logo um amarelecimento geral e algumas partes brancas. A omissão de B resultou em deformações no limbo foliar e perda da dominância apical, mostrando deformação dos pontos de crescimento; a omissão de Mn ocasionou redução do crescimento e clorose generalizada das folhas jovens com reticulo grosso, a omissão de Fe resultou em uma clorose internerval, com aparência de reticulado fino, sendo Fe e Mn os primeiros nutrientes cuja omissão resulta em sintomas de deficiência nas plantas de maracujá, seguidos pelo zinco e cobre, e por último o boro. O zinco e cobre apresentaram deformação e alongamento das folhas reduzindo consideradamente a altura e desenvolvimento radicular, o molibdênio apresentou uma clorose nas folhas velhas que posteriormente se espalho de forma geral. Os teores dos micros na parte aérea e raiz variaram de acordo ao tratamento, refletindo em problemas morfológicos e a nível ultra-estrutural na célula e fisiológicos, alterando variáveis como a transpiração, fotossíntese, condutância estomática e a relação entre a concentração de CO2 nos espaços intercelulares e a concentração de CO2 no ambiente. A omissão de ferro foi o elemento que mais refletiu problemas pela formação de pêlos radicais, observando-se maior formação destes em condições de deficiência do elemento possivelmente por sua relação com os hormônios etileno e auxinas. Todos os tratamentos apresentaram um desarranjo e desorganização a nível ultra-estrutural, nas organelas como os cloroplastos, parede celular, grânulos de amidos, grânulos de lipídeos, núcleo, afetando o funcionamento da célula e causando problemas fisiológicos que refletem em sintomas visuais e no desenvolvimento do maracujazeiro.The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at FCAV / UNESP. The objective was to evaluate the characterization of the visual symptoms of micronutrient deficiency in leaves; And to evaluate the effects of these micronutrients on the nutritional status of yellow passion fruit. In the experiment, a nutrient solution was used, with vermiculite as a substrate in a humid extract. Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims.) Seedlings of commercial hybrid BRS Gigante Amarelo do Cerrado were used. The experimental design was completely randomized; With eight treatments (complete solution (Witness), omission of B, omission of Cu, omission of Fe, omission of Mn, omission of Mo, omission of Zn, complete solution + Ni); And 5 replicates. It was used as experimental unit; Vessels with 8 dm-3 of substrate with 1 plant / pot and 2 pots per experimental unit. After 60 days of planting, the dry matter of each treatment was evaluated, and the nutritional deficiencies were evaluated in leaves. The chlorophyll content was evaluated weekly to establish linear or quadratic regression between chlorophyll levels and nutritional deficiencies of each treatment; besides an evaluation of physiological variables such as transpiration, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and internal and external CO2 concentration. Morphological characteristics were evaluated by means of optical microscope as were the development of root hair and by means of transmission electron microscopy, changes in leaf mesophyll. The order of manifestation of the deficiencies in the experiment were as follows: Fe> Mn> Zn> Cu> Mo> B; The toxicity of Nickel appeared at 40 days after the experiment was carried out in the vessels with symptoms of chlorosis in the new leaves, thus a general yellowing and some white parts. The omission of B resulted in deformations in the leaf limb and loss of apical dominance, showing deformation of the growth points; The omission of Mn caused reduction of growth and generalized chlorosis of the young leaves with thick reticulum, the omission of Fe resulted in an internerval chlorosis, with the appearance of fine crosslinking, with Fe and Mn being the first nutrients whose omission results in symptoms of plant deficiency Of passion fruit, followed by zinc and copper, and finally boron. The zinc and copper presented deformation and elongation of the leaves, reducing considerably the height and root development, the molybdenum presented a chlorosis in the old leaves that later spread in general form. The contents of the microspheres in the shoot and root varied according to the treatment, reflecting in morphological and ultrastructural problems in the cell and physiological, changing variables such as transpiration, photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and the relation between the concentration of CO2 in the spaces And the concentration of CO2 in the environment. The iron omission was the element that most reflected problems due to the formation of radical hair, being observed a greater formation of iron under conditions of deficiency of the element possibly due to its relation with the hormones ethylene and auxins. The observations in the transmission electron microscope showed in all the treatments a derangement and disorganization at the ultrastructural level, in the organelles as the chloroplasts, cell wall, starch granules, lipid granules, nucleus, affecting the functioning of the cell and causing physiological problems Which reflect on visual symptoms and the development of passion fruit
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Get PDFCover Crops Increase N and P Cycling and Rice Productivity in Temperate Cropping Systems
Get PDFCover crops can determine positive benefits on soil fertility and rice productivity, although scant attention has been devoted to evaluating the effects of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) and the incorporation of rice straw with different N fertilization levels on soil N and P availability and crop yields in temperate cropping systems characterized by poorly developed soils. In this study, the effects of cover crops grown before rice in a temperate mono-cropping system (NW Italy) on: (i) crop yields and yield components; (ii) apparent N fertilizer recovery and optimal level of N fertilization with hairy vetch; and (iii) temporal variation of soil available N and P forms during the hairy vetch growth and rice cropping season, have been investigated. The cultivation and incorporation of hairy vetch in the rice cropping system increased grain productivity by 12%, while reducing N mineral fertilization requirements by 33%. Combined with the incorporation of crop residues, hairy vetch provided a N and P input of 178 and 18 kg ha(-1), respectively, representing a readily available source for plant uptake over the whole rice cropping season, particularly under anaerobic conditions. This results in a better temporal synchronization of soil N and P availability with crop nutrient demand, leading to a better rice grain productivity and quality performance.project "RISTEC: New crop technologies for the future of rice agrosystems" PSR 2014-2020, Lombardy Regio
