The objective of this work was to evaluate five control systems of native vegetation and the damages caused by cattle and sheep to trees of three eucalyptus populations. A split-plot experimental design in two randomized complete blocks was used. Treatments were a) three populations of Eucalyptus saligna Smith. (204, 400 and 816 plants/ha) as the main plots; b) five control systems of the native vegetation (without control, pre-emergent herbicide, pre and post-emergent herbicides, cattle grazing or sheep grazing) as subplots.

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the fermentative quality of sorghum silage of small, medium and high size with different stem+leafs/head proportions (100:00, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80, 00:100), by means of lab analysis. The whole plant was used as control. The hybrids were cultivated and ensiled at 104 days of age in PVC lab silos measuring 10-cm of diameter by 40-cm of length (three replications per treatment). Silos were opened 56 days after the ensilage. The contents of […]

This work was carried out to evaluate the agronomic characteristics (bedding, breakage, and productivity) and the chemical-bromatological of the green matter and silage of 19 cultivars of maize. The treatments were applied on 5 x 4-m plots arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. By the ocassion of sowing, doses corresponding to 500 kg/ha of the formula 4-14-8 (N-P2O5-K2O), were applied and at the 47 day of emergency, 60 kg/ha of N in broadcast. From the studied nineteen […]
