    Agronomic and bromatological characteristics of Cassava cultivars
    (Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2025) Silveira, R.B.; Pires, A.J.V.; Dutra, I.C.; Nogueira, M.S.; Andrade, W.R.; Jesus, M.R.; Oliveira, G.R.S.; Oliveira, E.J.; Silva, N.V.; Santos, B.E.F.; Sousa, M.P.; Públio, P.P.P.
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the aerial part of cassava, analyzing its development and nutritional value, in addition to the production of biomass at different times and with different management. A randomized complete block design was used, with six cassava varieties (BRS Formosa, BRS Mulatinha, Eucalyptus, BRS White Pot, BRS Kiriris and BRS New Horizon) and five replicates, harvested six and twelve months after planting, with and without pruning. To evaluate the amount of biomass produced by the aerial part of cassava and the production of roots, a 6×2 factorial scheme in randomized complete blocks design was conducted. Six cassava varieties were tested, each with five replicates. The plants were harvested at two different times: with pruning (harvesting at six and twelve months after planting) and without pruning (single harvest at twelve months). There was an effect for the characteristics plant height, stem diameter, number of stems, number of leaves, lobe length, lobe width and petiole length, however when they were evaluated at twelve months, there was no effect, only for the characteristics lobe length and petiole length. It was found that there was an effect for dry matter, ether extract, hemicellulose and ADF. The BRS White Pot variety presented a higher concentration of non-fibrous carbohydrates. Differences were observed for neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and protein and lignin. For the values of total digestible nutrients, the cultivars BRS White Pot, BRS New Horizon and BRS Formosa stood out in relation to the others. There was a difference in the protein fractionation of the different cassava cultivars for total nitrogen fraction, fraction A and fraction C when they were harvested six months after planting. However, when they were evaluated at twelve months, there was only an effect for fraction C. There was an effect for CT, fraction A+B1, fraction B2 and fraction C when they were evaluated six months after planting. However, when they were evaluated twelve months after planting there was no difference for total carbohydrates and fraction B2. The interaction was not significant between the different cultivars and pruning management for the production of green matter, dry matter, crude protein, total digestible nutrients of the aerial part and green matter and dry matter of the roots. In management without pruning, there was an increase in the variables PGMPA, PDMPA, PCPPA and PTDNPA. The cultivars BRS Mulatinha and BRS New Horizon are recommended as they present greater leaf retention and number of stems, providing greater biomass production when managed without pruning.

    Productive and biochemical responses of Marandu grass under fertilization protocols
    (Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2025) Dutra, I.C.; Pires, A.J.V.; Jardim, R.R.; Silva, H.S.; Santos, B.E.F.; Silva, N.V.; Ribeiro, A.S.; Dutra, G.C.; Filho, C.A.A.O.; Publio, P.P.P.; Silva, A.P.G.; Nogueira, M.S.
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of liming and chemical fertilization protocols, containing different combinations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), on the photosynthetic pigments, productive characteristics and carbohydrate concentration of Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu. Five fertilization protocols were evaluated (PK fertilizer combination; NP fertilizer combination; NK fertilizer combination; NPK fertilizer combination; and without fertilizer - control), associated or not with soil correction via liming, in a completely randomized design, with four replicates. The experimental units consisted of plastic pots with a capacity of 12 liters, which were filled with 10 dm³ of sandy clay loam soil. Seeds of Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu, with 80% cultural value were used. With the corrected soil, the NP protocol provided greater production of dry mass of residue (PMSRE), root volume, leaf area, leaf area index, total sugar content (AST) and starch in the root, compared to the other protocols. Without liming, the NP protocol provided greater production of aerial part dry mass (PMSPA), root volume, leaf aerial volume, leaf aerial index and AST content in leaves, roots and residue. The NPK protocol, with liming, was 73% higher in chlorophyll a content, 50% in carotenoid content, 90% in PMSPA, 78% in leaf area and 76.2% in leaf area index, compared to the soil without correction. The use of NP fertilization with liming is recommended as it provides positive responses on the photosynthetic pigments, productive characteristics and total sugar content of Marandu grass.
