    The highbush blueberry was introduced to Romania by Prof. Nicolae Stefan in 1968. The first plantations were concentrated in the area of the hilly hills, so in the 80s years the cultivated area in Romania amounted to approximately 300 ha, but in the 90s years it decreased to only 60 ha. With the beginning of the new National Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, and allocation of European funds for the fruit growing, the blueberry crop became even better.  In the present in Romania are about 1000 ha with blueberry orchard distributed in the mountain and hilly areas. Starting from 2019, at Dăbuleni Research & Development Station for Plant Cultivation on Sandy Soils, on a soil with a pH of 6.36, studies began on the behaviour of high bush blueberry in the plain area. An experimental plot with the Duke, Nelson and Patriot cultivars was established; the plants were planted on raised beds covered with polypropylene mulch fabric (Agrotextile). Drip irrigation was provided under the mulch. Following the studies carried out in the 2020-2022 period, the Patriot cultivar stood out with an average fruit weight of 2.65 g/fruit and a production in the 4th year after planting by the 3.2 t/ha. The Duke variety recorded the highest value of fruit vitamin C content (13.11 mg) versus to the other studied cultivars

    A partir das noções de errância, prática de espaços, experiência e invenção, enquanto categorias analíticas, o presente artigo tem como foco a análise dos textos “Empreza” e “Beco-do-Mijo”, que fazem parte do livro Enredos da memória (1990), da escritora acreana Florentina Esteves. A perspectiva da abordagem se estrutura em torno da ideia de traçar um paralelo entre a escrita da história oficial da cidade de Rio Branco, na Amazônia acreana, e a escrita memorialística dessa autora, pontuando suas proximidades no universo do discurso amazonialista e seus distanciamentos na forma de tratar questões centrais relacionadas às origens da cidade e ao ordenamento dos corpos de determinadas mulheres e homens no âmbito de narrativas históricas, ficcionais e memorialísticas.Based on the concept of wandering, practice of spaces, experience and invention as analytical categories, this article focuses on the analysis of the texts "Empreza" and "Beco-do-Mijo", which are part of the book Enredos da Memória (1990), by the Acrean writer Florentina Esteves. The perspective of the approach is structured around the idea of drawing a parallel between the writing of the official history of the city of Rio Branco, in the Acrean Amazon, and the memorialistic writing of the author, emphasizing their similarities in the universe of the Amazonian discourse and their distances related to the origins of the city and the control of the bodies of women and men within the scope of historical, fictional and memorialistic narratives

    Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Letras, Departamento de Teoria Literária e Literaturas, 2006.Este trabalho procura investigar a literatura de Florentina Esteves como um dos desaguadouros da herança ficcional da região amazônica, em especial a da expressão contística do Acre. Para tanto, antes de chegar à análise da prosa da autora, são observados textos de autores que adotaram a planície verde como tema, tais como Inglês de Souza, Euclides da Cunha, Márcio Souza e Robélia Fernandes de Souza, entre outros. Com o fim de compreender a expressão literária regional do norte por esse prisma, aproximamos a discussão sobre as imagens poéticas e os recursos da memória ficcional, duas realidades que nos conduziram nessa trajetória. Como o objeto é composto essencialmente de contos, foi preciso lançar mão de pressupostos teóricos fundamentados na evolução estrutural do gênero, bem como das contribuições trazidas a esses textos pela oralidade. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACTThis work intends to investigate the literature of Florentina Esteves as one of the fictional inheritance of amazonic region, in especial of Acre story expression.

    The currant is an rustic species, with a high biological potential, able of yielding 5-8 tons/ha. It grows wildly in mountainous areas of Europe (Alps, Carpathians), Asia and North America. The currant is one of the most widespread shrubs in cultivation in our country. The production results were better for the black currant compared to the red currant. In the study period, from all studied red currant cultivars, the Detvan cultivar was highligth with 2.9 t/ha yield.  For the  black currant cultivars the yield was much higher versus to the red currants yield, being between 3.0 t/ha to Poli 51 cultivar and 4.6 t / ha to Tisel cultivar

    RESEARCH ON THE INFLUENCE OF PLANTING DENSITY ON BIOMASS PRODUCTION IN JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE GROWN ON SANDY SOILS

    Jerusalem artichoke is a species with high production potential, resistance to diseases and pests, with good tolerance to variations in climatic factors. Research conducted showed that the highest production of above-ground biomass of 64779 kg / ha was obtained at a planting distance of 40 cm between plants in a row. Analyzing the interaction between the studied factors (planting density x fertilization doses) on the production of fresh tubers, it is found that the distance of 40 cm between plants / row and the level of fertilization of N120P120 K80 ensured the highest production of 41671 kg / ha fresh tubers / ha, not statistically insured

    Leituras da cidade em Xavier Marques: configurações de baianidade

    No full text
    O presente trabalho busca refletir sobre a construção do imaginário urbano na obra de Xavier Marques, autor baiano, pouco conhecido na atualidade, pioneiro na descrição da paisagem baiana em textos ficcionais do século XIX. O estudo analisa a representação da cidade da Bahia nas narrativas Uma família baiana (1888) e O feiticeiro (1922), a partir de aspectos caracterizadores do universo urbano, social e cultural que constituem a cidade da Bahia nesse período. O trabalho investe ainda numa leitura da representação da população afro-descendente nesses textos, a partir da constatação de que à presença do negro e do trabalho escravo é atribuída uma parcela da responsabilidade no “atraso” em que a Bahia se encontrava, em relação ao sul do País, na visão de muitos dos intelectuais da época.The present work aims to think about the construction of the urban imaginary in Xavier Marques’s researches, citizen of Bahia, little author known at the present, who firstly integrated fictional texts in the 19th century. In this sense, this study analyses the representation of the city of Bahia in narratives like Uma família baiana (1888) and O feiticeiro (1922), from the features of the urban, social and cultural universe that constitute the city of Bahia during this period. This work invest yet a lecture of the Afro-Brazilian people’s representation in these texts, from the belief that part of the responsability lateness Bahia compared to the South of the Country, was due to the Negro and the slavery work, according to many intellectuals of that time
