1. Impact of Bt sweet corn on lepidopteran pests in Midwestern Brazil
ABSTRACT: While the cultivation of conventional Bt corn has been widely adopted in Brazil, the production of Bt sweet corn is still incipient. The main lepidopteran pests found attacking conventional and sweet corn in Brazil are Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) and Helicoverpa zea (Boddie). Additionally, a new harmful Lepidoptera species has recently appea

2. Agronomic performance and sweet corn quality as a function of inoculant doses (Azospirillum brasilense) and nitrogen fertilization management in summer harvest
ABSTRACT The inoculation of sweet corn seeds with Azospirillum brasilense in association to nitrogen fertilizer may be an agronomic alternative for increasing the crop yield and net income of plant growers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the different doses of inoculant (Azospirillum brasilense) associated to the nitrogen f

3. Intake and digestion of non-traditional feedstuffs by farmed collared peccary (Mammalia, Tayassuidae)
ABSTRACT To assess the ability of the collared peccary ( Pecari tajacu ) to digest dietary fiber, four adult male collared peccaries were randomly assigned to a 4 × 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of feeding non-traditional feed ingredients, taken from palm trees with different levels of dietary fiber, on intake and coefficient of total tract

4. Binary Blends of Biodiesel from Macauba (Acromia aculeata) Kernel Oil with Other Biodiesels
Macauba is a palm tree which provides large amount of oil. Particularly its oil from the kernel presents excellent stability to oxidation as it is mainly constituted by saturated organic chains. This stability is inherited by the biodiesel prepared with this oil. Paradoxically, contrarily to the expectation as it is mainly constituted by saturated esters, th

5. Supplementation with corn oil and palm kernel oil to grazing cows: ruminal fermentation, milk yield, and fatty acid profile
ABSTRACT The effect of supplementation with corn oil (CO) and its mixture with palm kernel oil (CO:PKO 75:25) to grazing cows on ruminal fermentation, milk yield, and its fatty acid (FA) profile was evaluated. The treatments were: one control treatment (C) without oil and two treatments with 720 g d−1/cow of CO or CO:PKO (ether extract: 22.7 g kg−1 for c

6. Hydration kinetics, physicochemical composition, and textural changes of transgenic corn kernels of flint, semi-flint, and dent varieties
The hydration kinetics of transgenic corn types flint DKB 245PRO, semi-flint DKB 390PRO, and dent DKB 240PRO was studied at temperatures of 30, 40, 50, and 67 °C. The concentrated parameters model was used, and it fits the experimental data well for all three cultivars. The chemical composition of the corn kernels was also evaluated. The corn cultivar influ

7. Effects of the mechanical damage on the water absorption process by corn kernel
The purpose of this study was to investigate and model the water absorption process by corn kernels with different levels of mechanical damage Corn kernels of AG 1510 variety with moisture content of 14.2 (% d.b.) were used. Different mechanical damage levels were indirectly evaluated by electrical conductivity measurements. The absorption process was based

8. Nutritional value of some feedstuffs used in the diet of captive capybaras
Five pen-raised adult female capybaras were used in five digestibility trials in a Latin square design, to determine, for capybaras, the nutritional values of Cameroon grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Cameroon); Napier grass (P. purpureum cv. Napier); corn grain; cassava hay, comprising leaves and stems; and palm kernel (Elaeis guineensis) cake. These feedstu

9. In situ and in vitro degradation kinetics and prediction of the digestible neutral detergent fiber of agricultural and agro-industrial byproducts
The objective of this study was to evaluate the in situ and in vitro degradation kinetics and to predict the digestible neutral detergent fiber (dNDF) from the incubation times; in situ and in vitro degradation kinetic parameters; and equations fitted for agricultural and agro-industrial byproducts. Byproducts from pineapple, cocoa, palm kernel, corn gluten

10. Bromatological evaluation of eleven corn cultivars harvested at two cutting heights
The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and dry matter in vitro digestibility of stem, leaf, straw, cob and kernel fractions of eleven corn (Zea mays) cultivars, harvested at two cutting heights. The experiment was designed as randomized blocks, with three replicates, in a 2 × 11 factorial arrangement (eleven cultivars and two c

11. Detecção de espécies de Fusarium potencialmente produtoras de Micotoxinas em grãos de milho no Nordeste do Brasil.
Brazil is the thrid worldwide producer of corn kernel (Zea mays L.), only behind of the United States of América and China. The causal agents of ears and stalk rot are fungi like Stenocarpella maydis, Fusarium spp and Penicillium oxalicum, worth mentioning to the Fusarium species, specially the complex Giberrela fugikuori species. These species, usually rel

12. QTL mapping in sweet corn testecrosses with different testers and environments / Mapeamento de QTL em testecrosses de milho doce com diferentes testadores e ambientes
One of the main challenges in sweet corn breeding is to improve the efficiency of selection for grain yield and quality traits. The use of molecular markers would be a way to increase the selection efficiency in breeding programs. QTL mapping is an important tool for understanding the genetic basis of the traits and to generate information that can be used i
