The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of S-metolachlor applied in pre-emergence conditions for the control of Brachiaria decumbens, Digitaria horizontalis, and Panicum maximum in sugar cane mechanically harvested without previous burning of the crop (green harvest) with the crop residue either left or not on the soil surface. The experiments were established in the field according to a randomized complete block design with four repetitions in a 7 x 2 split-plot scheme. In the plots, five herbicide treatments were studied (S-metolachlor at 1.44, 1.92, and 2.40 kg ha-1, clomazone at 1.20 kg ha-1, and isoxaflutole at 0.188 kg ha-1), and two control treatments with no herbicide application. In the subplots, the presence or absence of sugar cane crop residue on the soil surface was evaluated. S-metolachlor efficacy was not hampered by either 14 or 20 t ha-1 of sugar cane crop residue on the soil surface. When sugar cane crop residue was covering the soil surface, S-metolachlor at a rate of 1.44 kg ha-1 resulted in weed control similar at their larger rates, where as without the presence of crop residue, S-metolachlor controlled B. decumbens, D. horizontalis, and P. maximum at the rates of 1.92, 1.44, and 1.92 kg ha-1, respectively. The herbicides clomazone and isoxaflutole were effective for the studied species, independently of the crop residue covering the soil surface. S-metolachlor caused no visible injury symptoms to the sugar cane plant. Clomazone and isoxaflutole caused visible injuries to the sugar cane plant. None of the herbicides negatively affected the number of viable culms m² or the culm height and diameter.

ADDITIONAL IRRIGATION OF A SUGAR-CANE (Saccharum spp) CROP HARVESTED IN JANUARY: A DECISION ANALYSIS MODEL FOR THE SOUTHERN COAST OFALAGOAS STATE  2 ABSTRACT Sugar mills and alcohol distilleries inAlagoas State,Brazil, have great economical importance. The use of techniques that increase their productivity and reduce sugar-cane production costs is needed to use their installation capacity to the fullest. Irrigation technology has become a profitable alternative for the sugar-cane (ratoon cycle) conditions inAlagoasState. A decision tree was used to evaluate expected values form different available alternatives to choose the best decision maker, taking into consideration the viability of additional irrigation technology in cane beat in January, just during the first development stage of the sugar-cane (ratoon cycle) in the southern coast of Alagoas State. From the obtained results of the analyzed conditions, it was concluded that: there is a great technical and economical viability for irrigation in the beginning of the year (January), considering direct and indirect benefits of agricultural productivity increase, greater ratoon longevity, reduction of soil preparation and planting, culture treatments and sugar cane transport; the expected net income presents small influence of cost variables with ratoon culture treatments and soil preparation and planting. KEYWORDS: additional irrigation; sugar-cane; decision analysis

Thus, this study aims to characterize the performance of eight sugarcane cultivars, in a Dystroferric Red Latosol under non-tillage and reduced tillage, based on multivariate statistical analysis. To achieve this goal, a trial was conducted at FAECA-UFGD, splitting the area into two sub-areas, which composed the non-tillage and reduced tillage sub-areas. Then, eight sugarcane cultivars were planted in each sub-area basing on a completely randomized design with four replications. To evaluated the trial the data of the stalks length, stalks diameter, number of tillers per meter, yield, soluble solids level content, total recoverable sugars and sucrose content, was collected and submitted to descriptive statistics and then to correlation statistics and the normality test, to verify the analyses of hierarchical and factorial cluster assumptions. The statistical technique of factorial analysis applied into the sugarcane production components, identified three retained factors related to sucrose production, yield and stalks growth, respectively. The statistical technique of hierarchical grouping allows the formation of groups of cultivars according to soil preparation systems, evidencing superior performance in non-tillage, with a major target to the early cultivars (RB965902, RB966928, RB855156) and medium-cycle cultivar (RB985476).   Keywords: Saccharum spp, cane-plant, management systems, non-tillage.   ANÁLISE MULTIVARIADA DA PRODUÇÃO DE CULTIVARES DE CANA-DE-AÇÚCAR SOB DOIS SISTEMAS DE PREPAROS DO SOLO   RESUMO: O conhecimento do desempenho de diferentes cultivares de cana-de-açúcar nas distintas condições edafoclimáticas e de manejo do solo serve de subsídio para o correto manejo varietal nas unidades de produção. Objetivou-se caracterizar o desempenho de oito cultivares de cana-de-açúcar, em cana-planta, cultivadas em um Latossolo Vermelho Distroférrico sob plantio direto e preparo reduzido, baseando-se em técnicas estatísticas de análise multivariada. O trabalho foi conduzido na FAECA-UFGD onde a área exerimental foi dividida em duas subáreas, compostas pelo plantio direto e preparo reduzido. Em cada preparo foram cultivadas oito cultivares de cana-de-açúcar em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. Foram avaliados comprimento de colmos, diâmetro de colmos, número de perfilhos por metro, produtividade de colmos, teor de sólidos solúveis, açúcares totais recuperáveis e teor de sacarose, cujos dados coletados foram submetidos a descritiva e de correlação, e o teste de normalidade, que serviram como pressupostos para as análises de agrupamento hierárquico e fatorial. A técnica estatística de análise fatorial aplicada para os componentes de produção de cana-de-açúcar identificou três fatores retidos referentes à produção de sacarose, produtividade e crescimento de colmos, respectivamente. A técnica estatística de agrupamento hierárquica permitiu a formação de grupos de cultivares em função do preparo do solo, evidenciando desempenho superior em plantio direto, com maior desempenho para as cultivares precoce (RB965902, RB966928, RB855156) e cultivar de ciclo médio (RB985476).   Palavras-chaves: Saccharum spp., cana-planta, sistemas de manejo, plantio direto.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of microbial additives containing heterofermentative or homofermentative bacteria on the chemical and microbiological characteristics of sugar cane (Saccharum spp) silages. Sugar cane was inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum, L. paracasei, L. brevis or L. buchneri previously isolated from sugar cane silages or commercial inoculants containing L. buchneri or L. plantarum. Silages were produced in laboratory silos (10 × 60 cm PVC tubes) and evaluated 90 days after ensiling. A randomized complete design was used with eight treatments (seven inoculants and control - without inoculant) and three replications. The inoculation with bacteria affected lactic acid bacteria, yeast populations, volatile fatty acids and ethanol contents in the silages. Inoculation with different strains of the same species of bacteria result in silages with different chemical and microbiological characteristics. Two of the L. buchneri strains show the best results in relation to silage quality.
