1. Selecting alternative sterile and non-sterile substrates for mycorrhizal inoculant production
ABSTRACT Alternative substrates were evaluated for mycorrhizal inoculants production considering the beneficial effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) for plants and environment. The first step of the experiment aimed at evaluating the potential of substrates produced from sugarcane bagasse (SB), coconut fibre (CF) and urban waste compost (UWC) to pro

2. Proposal of a failure envelope for artificially cemented sand
Abstract Soils are particulate materials, which often stand out for their low shear strength. In most cases, this aspect justifies adapting the geotechnical project for this characteristic, which can be even more problematic in the case of soft sands, since it often occurs in superficial layers in various parts of the metropolitan region of Fortaleza. Theref

3. Digital imaging of coffee leaves under different nitrogen concentrations applied to soil
ABSTRACT Brazil is the largest Coffea arabica L. producer and exporter in the world market. In view of the need for nitrogen fertilization, the objective of this work was to evaluate the use of digital images of coffee leaves as a function of nitrogen concentration and cultivars, as well as to evaluate the most adequate sampling of this technique to predict

4. Growth of pitaya seedlings according to the type of substrate and the frequency of irrigation
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the development of pitaya cuttings in different substrates under different frequencies of irrigation. The experiment was conducted from January to May 2017 in a greenhouse at Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia, Capitao Poço, Pará, Brazil. A completely randomized 3 × 7 factorial design with four rep

5. MODELING OF DRAFT AND ENERGY REQUIREMENTS OF A MOLDBOARD PLOW USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS BASED ON TWO NOVEL VARIABLES
ABSTRACT Draft and energy requirements are the most important factors in the activities of farm machinery management owing to their role in matching the tractor with implements for different tillage operations. This study's aim was to model the draft and energy requirements of a moldboard plow based on two novel variables. The first was the soil texture inde

6. Drivers of floristic variation in biogeographic transitions: insights from the ecotone between the largest biogeographic domains of South America
ABSTRACT Ecological transitions usually represent vulnerable ecosystems and high biodiversity. Investigating their drivers is important from both biogeographic and conservationist perspectives. One of these transitions is situated between the two largest biogeographic domains of South America - the Amazon and the Cerrado. We evaluated variation in tree flori

7. PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTION TO ESTIMATE THE SOIL STRUCTURAL “S” INDEX AND SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN AN OXISOL WITHIN A LIVESTOCK FARMING SYSTEM
ABSTRACT Various attributes are often required to build soil quality indicators. However, determining these attributes is time-consuming and requires several specific devices. Thus, it is desirable to develop indexes that express soil quality based on easily determined attributes. The objective of this study was to investigate the spatial variability of the

8. Interrill erodibility of different sandy soils increases along a catena in the Caiuá Sandstone Formation
ABSTRACT Soil erosion in tropical areas is a major problem for sustainability in agriculture and soil stability. In the Northwest of Paraná, cassava crop is produced using a conventional tillage system along a catena consisting of different soil classes: Ferralsols (near the summit), Lixisols (mid-slope), and Arenosols (foot-slope). Therefore, differential

9. PAPAYA SEEDLING PRODUCTION UNDER DIFFERENT SHADING LEVELS AND SUBSTRATE COMPOSITIONS
ABSTRACT Papaya is characterized as one of the most important crops in Brazil. Thus, good quality seedlings are essential for formation of orchards in agricultural production. This study aimed to evaluate shading levels and substrate compositions for production of papaya seedlings. Growing environments were evaluated with 0, 18, 35, and 50% shading and subst

10. K-NEAREST NEIGHBORS METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF FUEL CONSUMPTION IN TRACTOR-CHISEL PLOW SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT Most important farm operations require a significant amount of energy, and this consumes a major portion of the farm's budget. Consequently, analyzing the fuel consumption of agricultural machinery for farm operations of different sizes makes it possible to predict fuel consumption to set an appropriate budget for energy. The main purpose of this st

11. Water retention capacity in Arenosols and Ferralsols in a semiarid area in the state of Bahia, Brazil
Abstract: One of the most serious problems in areas indicated for irrigation projects in the Brazilian Northeast region is the occurrence of sandy soils, known to have low moisture retention, but occurring in strategic locations in terms of water supply and geographical situation, and which can be used for agricultural purposes. The objective of this study

12. Contribution of public squares to the reduction of urban flooding risk
Resumo A urbanização está diretamente ligada ao processo de impermeabilização do solo em áreas urbanas que acaba contribuindo no surgimento dos riscos de alagamentos. Desse modo, objetivou-se nessa pesquisa determinar as propriedades hidrodinâmicas das praças púbicas de uma cidade Brasileira e com isso determinar o quanto podem contribuir para a red
