Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) has been shown great potential productivity in Brazil due to its cultivation conditions and desirable traits of soil and climate. Much of the culture's success is due to the quality and versatility of the genetic material used, especially its phenotypic plasticity. In the western region of the state of São Paulo, its cultivation has been brought benefits, derived in part by the main cultivation system used, no-tillage system, which reduces the use of phytosanitary products that harm the environment and the use of straw from the previous crop.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the nitrogen (N) doses applied by fertigation with a surface and subsurface drip irrigation system in eggplant “Ciça”. The experiment was conducted from August 2017 to February 2018 in the irrigation and drainage area of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Federal University of Grande Dourados, in Dourados city, MS state, Brazil. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design in a subdivided plot composed of four blocks. In the plots treatments were at doses of N zero, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1.

Information regarding sesame in sorghum intercropping is very little. The present study was undertaken to determine optimum proportion of component crops and to compare the land use efficiency and economic returns of the component crops of sorghum/sesame intercropping system and enhance food security in Mieso area of oromiya region. The experiment was laid out in factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the viability of tomato grafted with Solanum paniculatum L. and Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiform in protected cultivation. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of Alagoas, in the municipality of Rio Largo, AL. The statistical design was completely randomized, with three treatments (Santa Adélia tomato without grafting, grafting of Santa Adélia tomato with Solanum lycopersicum var.

In this work, we evaluated the genotypes, which allowed us to obtain flexible forms of the first generation and to study their physiological and biochemical characteristics, compared with the original parental forms. Wheat varieties were grown in two options of water availability: with optimal irrigation (control) and in limited irrigation (experience). To maintain moisture in the soil at a level of 70-75% during the growing season, irrigation was performed in control option. In the experimental version, the soil moisture was 45-50%.

Teaching, research and extension are pillars of Brazilian universities. The 'Anatomizing' project brought experiences to students from the Bachelor Degrees in Nursing from the Federal University of Piauí, in the city Floriano, state of Piauí, about the exchange of knowledge with elementary school students of a private school, through workshops for the construction and sharing of understands. Through the application of questionnaires it was possible to identify learning disabilities.

Population aging is an inevitable process that occurs due to various physiological, biological and social changes that occur over the years. The instabilities in the balance are due to the advancement of age and changes occurred as a basis of support, impairment of vision, gait; associated with environmental, socioeconomic and nutritional factors, sedentarism determining the limitations of the elderly, which potentiates the risk of falls, being the main degrading factor in the life of the elderly.
