Título: Survey of scientific production on bio-inputs in Northern and Northeastern Brazil (2010–2025): a focus on plant growth-promoting microorganisms in legumes and grasses. Autoria: SOUZA, T. A. F. de; MARTINS, L. M. V.; HUNGRIA, M.; FERNANDES JUNIOR, P. I. Conteúdo: Using bio-inputs, particularly those based on plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM), has gained momentum in Brazil as a sustainable alternative to conventional agricultural inputs. This meta-analysis synthesizes data from 1,391 peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2025, focusing on the spatial, temporal, and biological dimensions of PGPM research in Northern and Northeastern Brazil. An increase in the number of publications has been observed after 2018. Geographically, 61.2% of studies originated in the Northeast—primarily in Bahia, Pernambuco, and Ceará—while 38.8% were conducted in the North, especially in Pará, Acre, and Amazonas. Leguminous species accounted for 52% of studies, reflecting their nitrogen-fixing capacity and regional agronomic importance, followed by grasses (41%) and other species (7%). Diazotrophic bacteria such as Azospirillum, Bradyrhizobium, and Herbaspirillum were the most frequently studied microbial group, consistently enhancing plant growth metrics across crop types. Seed coating was the most widely used and effective inoculation method, followed by soil drenching and foliar application. PGPM treatments significantly improved aboveground biomass, root traits (notably nodulation and root density), and crop yield, especially in legumes. Subgroup analyses identified critical moderators influencing PGPM efficacy, including inoculant type, inoculation method, soil fertility, and environmental stressors. Despite these benefits, challenges were frequently reported. Approximately 31% of studies cited inconsistent field performance, and 28% highlighted microbial viability and soil compatibility constraints. Regulatory gaps, quality control deficiencies, and biosafety concerns regarding releasing of non-native strains were also noted. These findings highlight the potential of PGPM to support regional food systems and contribute to national sustainability goals, underscoring the urgent need for improved standardization, targeted funding, and stronger policy frameworks. The study provides evidence-based insights to guide research, regulation, and investment in bio-inputs for a more equitable and resilient Brazilian agriculture.

Título: Défict hídrico nas fases vegetativa e de floração de pimenta tabasco em ambiente protegido. Autoria: MARINHO, L. B.; FRIZZONE, J. A.; TOLENTINO JUNIOR, J. B.; PAULINO, J.; SOARES, J. M.; VILAÇA, F. N. Conteúdo: A escassez de recursos hídricos no Brasil tem impulsionado a demanda de manejo de irrigação mais eficiente nas propriedades agrícolas, visando reduzir o consumo de água e tornar o seu uso mais eficiente. O objetivo foi avaliar o efeito do déficit hídrico em diferentes fases do cultivo da pimenteira na eficiência de uso de água, na produtividade e na qualidade da pimenta ‘Tabasco’ cultivada em ambiente protegido, durante os meses de setembro de 2009 a julho de 2010, no município de Piracicaba-SP. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados, com lâminas de irrigação de 40, 60, 80 e 100% da evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc), inicializadas nas fases vegetativa e de floração. O déficit de irrigação influenciou a produtividade da pimenta e o mesmo não foi observado para a qualidade física da pimenta. A eficiência do uso da água da pimenta Tabasco não foi influenciada pelo déficit. Entretanto, o déficit hídrico inicializado na fase de floração permitiu economia de água de até 50,1% de água no ciclo de 208 dias após transplantio.

Título: Black flesh disorder in mango: a chilling injury symptom increased by early harvest and low storage temperature and reduced by 1-methylcyclopropene. Autoria: PIRES, B. P. de C.; VILVERT, J. C.; MELLO JUNIOR, N. R. C. de; MONTEIRO, S. R. S.; SANTOS, M. de S.; REGIS, E. S.; LOBO, J. T.; BRECHT, J. K.; FREITAS, S. T. de Conteúdo: BACKGROUND: Black flesh (BF) is an internal disorder in mango, characterized by the development of dark brown to black pigmentation in the inner mesocarp tissue during storage or transport. This study investigated the effects of harvest maturity, low storage or low transport temperatures, and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on mango fruit susceptibility to BF. In the first experiment, ‘Tommy Atkins’, ‘Kent’, and ‘Palmer’ mangoes were harvested at two maturity stages and BF incidence was assessed after 30 days’ storage at 8, 10, or 12.5 °C plus 7 days of shelf life at 20 °C. In the second experiment, ‘Tommy Atkins’ and ‘Keitt’ mangoes were also treated at harvest with the ethylene action inhibitor 1-MCP (0–800 nL L−1 ) and stored at 9 °C for 45 days, followed by 7 days of shelf life at 20 °C. The most effective 1-MCP treatment concentration (200 nL L−1 ) was then validated on mangoes for reduction of BF incidence and severity. RESULTS: The incidence of BF increased with early harvest and lower storage temperatures (≤10 °C), but it was not observed at 12.5 °C. 1-Methylcyclopropene at 200 nL L−1 markedly reduced the incidence and severity of BF, while suppressing respiration and ethylene production. This concentration also maintained flesh firmness and antioxidant capacity, performing in a similar way to higher concentrations. CONCLUSION: Early harvest and low storage temperature increased the incidence of BF whereas 1-MCP treatment reduced it. © 2026 The Author(s).

Título: Chemical and sensory effects of brewing hot trub incorporation during winemaking of BRS Vitória hybrid grapes. Autoria: MELO, L. B. de; SABINO, L. L.; CASTILHOS, M. B. M. de Conteúdo: The aim of this study was to analyze the physicochemical and sensory profiles of the BRS Vitória wine produced using hot trub during the alcoholic fermentation. Seven types of wine were produced: control wine (only BRS Vitória grapes), wines with 5%, 10% and 15% of hot trub incorporation (INC5%, INC10%, and INC15%), and wines with 5%, 10% and 15% of hot trub replacement (SUB5%, SUB10%, and SUB15%). Alcohol content, pH, total and volatile acidity, dry extract, reducing sugars, total phenolic content, and color indexes were influenced by the addition of hot trub to the grape must. Among all the wines analyzed, control wine showed the highest value for phenolic content (801 mg/L), followed by the INC5% wine with 580 mg/L. The control sample was sensorially described as red color, fruity taste, sweet taste and grape aroma, showing high overall acceptance. However, the wines produced with hot trub showed statistically similar overall acceptance in comparison to the control wine. The low sensory acceptance of the SUB15% sample was determined by the high scores for bitterness, acidity, astringency and persistence. The wines produced using an innovative approach involving low insertion of hot trub showed their potential in the field of winemaking.
