The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different amounts of straw on the development of the sugarcane root system and yield using the variety SP 801816 in a Rhodic Eutrudox in southern Brazil. Six treatments were evaluated: 0 (no straw), 25, 50, 75 and 100% (20 Mg ha-1) of straw and straw burned at 60, 180 and 270 days after planting in 150 m 2 plots. Root samples were collected at 0.45 and 0.75 m from the planting line at depths of 0-0.10, 0.10-0.20, 0.20-0.40 and 0.40 to 0.60 m at harvest, and the stems of the plots were weighed to measure yield. In water stress period, the 50, 75 and 100% straw treatments promoted a greater root mass to 0.20 m deep, which was also reflected in the yield. The 50 and 75% straw treatments resulted in 25% greater yield than the 0 and 25% straw and straw burned, resulting in 28 Mg ha-1 more. The amount, 50% straw retention in the field is sufficient to increase the mass of the roots and, in turn, productivity, which is possible to remove the 50% surplus from the field for industrial processes for the production of energy, without the occurrence of damage to the crop.

The study was conducted in four commercial fields in the North of Paraná State, Brazil, during the wheat crop season of 2009. Two transects were surveyed parallel to the edge of the forest at two distances: 25 ("near") and 525 meters ("far") from the edge. The abundance of hoverflies was compared using a χ 2 test (p ≤ 0.05). In total, 1,845 hoverflies adults were collected, which represented 15 species and three genera. The most abundant species was Allograpta exotica (60.43%), followed by Toxomerus dispar (17.78%) and Toxomerus watsoni (7.26%) (Diptera: Syrphidae). An important inference was that all fields showed a higher abundance of aphidophagous hoverflies closer to the edge of the forest (25 m) during the wheat tillering stage. The initial abundance of aphidophagous hoverflies in wheat fields is likely greater near the edge because of the availability of resources in the surrounding forest that enhance hoverfly survival during periods of low aphid infestation.

The experimental design was random blocks, with three repetitions, in a factorial scheme with an additional treatment (10 × 4 + 1). Ten damage levels (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100%) were studied, including a witness treatment (0%). The cassavas were treated during each of the four seasons of the year. The studied variables were: root productivity (t ha-1), flour production (t ha-1) and number of stem cuttings with a diameter greater than 20 and 25 mm. The induced damage in the cassava`s meristem did not significantly affect the root, nor the flour production. However, the stem cuttings production demonstrated a linear decrease in relation to the apical meristem damage level.

Research paper thumbnail of Landscape complexity affects cover and species richness of weeds in Brazilian agricultural environments

The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of landscape complexity on local weed communities in Paraná State, southern Brazil. We addressed three questions: (i) Do species richness and percent cover of weeds increase with increasing landscape complexity? (ii) Does landscape complexity similarly affect native and exotic species? and (iii) Do the effects of landscape attributes on local weed communities differ between spatial scales? To answer these questions, we assessed species richness and cover of weeds along the edges of 18 wheat fields. Altitude, field size and three landscape complexity metrics (percent cover of non-crop habitats; edge density and habitat diversity) were used as explanatory variables. Landscape metrics were calculated at four spatial scales: 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 km. We recorded 52 weed species (24 exotic, 25 native and 3 morphospecies) belonging to 45 genera and 18 families. Total richness and native richness increased with increasing SDI and ED at 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 km radii, while exotic richness was related only to SDI at 0.5 km. Percent cover of weeds was positively correlated with ED at 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 km radii; native cover and exotic cover did not respond to landscape complexity nor local factors. Our findings suggest that the increment of landscape complexity benefited particularly native species which seem to be less adapted to constant disturbances in the crop matrix than exotic species and probably depend on the presence of more stable habitats in the surrounding landscape. Therefore, agri-environment schemes designed to preserve biodiversity in farmland must promote landscape complexity through the diversification of crops and conservation of non-crop habitats at multiple spatial scales.

The studied variables were: root productivity (t ha-1), flour production (t ha-1) and number of stem cuttings with a diameter greater than 20 and 25 mm. The induced damage in the cassava`s meristem did not significantly affect the root, nor the flour production. However, the stem cuttings production demonstrated a linear decrease in relation to the apical meristem damage level.

O experimento foi conduzido na area experimental do Instituto Agronomico do Parana, Londrina, PR; em delineamento de blocos casualizados com nove tratamentos e tres repeticoes. As especies vegetais avaliadas foram: Crambe abyssinica; Raphanus sativu; Brassica napus; Brassica campestris; Camelina sativa; Lupinus angustifolius; Lupinus albus, Vicia villosa e Carthamus tinctorius. Semanalmente, as parcelas foram amostradas com rede entomologica, aplicada 10 vezes/parcela. Os insetos coletados foram identificados e quantificados em laboratorio. A maior abundância de parasitoides ocorreu em V. villosa, especialmente no periodo de floracao, destacandose quatro grupos de importância agricola: Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Encyrtidae e Scelionidae, nos quais foi possivel identificar parasitoides em niveis taxonomicos menores. Vicia villosa apresenta potencial como auxiliar na ma...

Research paper thumbnail of Landscape complexity affects cover and species richness of weeds in Brazilian agricultural environments

The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of landscape complexity on local weed communities in Paraná State, southern Brazil. We addressed three questions: (i) Do species richness and percent cover of weeds increase with increasing landscape complexity? (ii) Does landscape complexity similarly affect native and exotic species? and (iii) Do the effects of landscape attributes on local weed communities differ between spatial scales? To answer these questions, we assessed species richness and cover of weeds along the edges of 18 wheat fields. Altitude, field size and three landscape complexity metrics (percent cover of non-crop habitats; edge density and habitat diversity) were used as explanatory variables. Landscape metrics were calculated at four spatial scales: 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 km. We recorded 52 weed species (24 exotic, 25 native and 3 morphospecies) belonging to 45 genera and 18 families. Total richness and native richness increased with increasing SDI and ED at 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 km radii, while exotic richness was related only to SDI at 0.5 km. Percent cover of weeds was positively correlated with ED at 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 km radii; native cover and exotic cover did not respond to landscape complexity nor local factors. Our findings suggest that the increment of landscape complexity benefited particularly native species which seem to be less adapted to constant disturbances in the crop matrix than exotic species and probably depend on the presence of more stable habitats in the surrounding landscape. Therefore, agri-environment schemes designed to preserve biodiversity in farmland must promote landscape complexity through the diversification of crops and conservation of non-crop habitats at multiple spatial scales.
