Autoria: ANTUNES, L. E. C.; MUELLER, F. C. da S.; SCHIAVON, A. V.; BARRETO, C. F.; BONOW, S. Conteúdo: Abstract: Strawberries are one of the most widely consumed fruits within the group of small fruits, such as blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. However, almost all of them come from foreign genetics. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of advanced short-day strawberry selections developed by Embrapa under low-altitude field conditions in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The experiment was conducted during the 2020 and 2021 crop seasons, in a randomized block design with eleven genotypes, four replications, and six plants per plot. The advanced selections 04-03, 31-07, 31-13, 32-05, 33-02, 35-02, 35-06, 35-12, and 35-14, as well as the cultivars BRS DC22, BRS DC09, and BRS DC25 (Fênix), were compared to commercial standards Camarosa, Fronteras, and Pircinque. Variables analyzed included number of fruits per plant, average fruit mass, production per plant, earliness, and estimated yield. In 2020, the highest fruit numbers were recorded for selections 04-03 and 35-06, and cultivars BRS DC22, Camarosa, and Fronteras. Selection 04-03 showed the highest yield and large fruit size. In 2021, selection 35-02 and cultivar Fênix stood out for fruit mass. All genotypes and the cultivar Fênix showed greater early-season production compared to commercial cultivars. Genotypes 35-06, BRS DC22, BRS DC09 and ‘Fênix’ were the most productive in both years, indicating high potential for commercial cultivation under southern Brazilian conditions. Resumo: O morango é uma das frutas mais consumidas dentro do grupo das pequenas frutas, como mirtilos, amoras-pretas e framboesas. Entretanto quase a sua totalidade é oriunda de genética estrangeira. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho agronômico de seleções avançadas de morangueiro de dias curtos, desenvolvidas pela Embrapa, em condições de cultivo a campo e em baixa altitude, em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. O experimento foi conduzido nas safras de 2020 e 2021, em delineamento em blocos casualizados, com onze genótipos, quatro repetições e seis plantas por parcela. Foram avaliadas as seleções 04-03, 31-07, 3113, 32-05, 33-02, 35-02, 35-06, 35-12 e 35-14, além das cultivares BRS DC22, BRS DC09 e BRS DC25 (Fênix), comparadas às cultivares comerciais Camarosa, Fronteras e Pircinque. As variáveis analisadas foram número de frutas por planta, massa média de frutas, produção por planta, precocidade e produtividade estimada. Em 2020, as maiores quantidades de frutas foram observadas nas seleções 04-03 e 35-06, e nas cultivares BRS DC22, Camarosa e Fronteras. A seleção 04-03 apresentou a maior produção e frutas de maior massa. Em 2021, destacaram-se a seleção 35-02 e a cultivar Fênix quanto à massa média de frutas. Todos os genótipos e a cultivar Fênix apresentaram maior produção na fase inicial da colheita, quando comparados às cultivares comerciais. A seleção 35-06 e as cultivares BRS DC22, BRS DC09 e BRS DC25 (Fênix) foram as mais produtivas nas duas safras, evidenciando elevado potencial para cultivo comercial nas condições do Sul do Brasil. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.alice.cnptia.embrapa.br/alice/handle/doc/1185974 Título: Uruguay's Online Flora: A new resource connecting science, society, and conservation.

Conteúdo: Abstract: Floras and botanical collections are essential tools for understanding plant diversity, promoting its conservation, and supporting a wide range of scientific applications. Uruguay, located in the biodiverse grassland region of southern South America, has had only an incomplete Flora, the most comprehensive of which was published more than a century ago. We review the country's flora and the history of its study, and introduce the new Flora Uruguaya Online (FUO; https://florauruguaya.org), which when completed will provide a comprehensive record of all vascular plant species, including information on their distribution, morphological, ecological, and phenological characteristics. This online Flora presently contains information on 182 families, 1053 genera, and 3112 species, 85.4% of which are native to Uruguay and 2.2% endemic. Although Uruguay accounts for only 25% of the surface area of the Río de la Plata Grasslands, it contains over 60% of their species and more than 50% of their endemic taxa, reflecting its core geographical position. Uruguay's flora faces increasing pressure from land-use change, habitat fragmentation, and invasive species. FUO provides critical support for addressing these challenges, offering systematic botanical data for basic and applied research, conservation, sustainable uses, and land management, including practical applications such as the identification of toxic plants affecting livestock production. We highlight key features of FUO with its research-enabling tools for the exploration of Uruguay's botanical richness by scientists, as well as by policymakers, educators, conservationists, and citizens. These features include its accessibility, interactivity, multiple filters (e.g., geographic regions, ecological characteristics, conservation status, or specific species attributes), rich graphics, and multiple sources of data inputs tied to herbarium specimens. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.alice.cnptia.embrapa.br/alice/handle/doc/1185826 Título: Pecan nut sustainable utilization: the nutritional and bioactive potential of pecan shell and meal. Autoria: FOSCARINI, S. C.; SILVA, T. D. da; SIEBENEICHLER, T. J.; CRIZEL, R. L.; MARTINS, C. R.; ZIEGLER, V.; FERREIRA, C. D.; HOFFMANN, J. F. Conteúdo: The demand for pecan consumption has been increasing, and consequently, the volume of waste generated from shelling and processing for pecan oil extraction has also grown. This study aimed to characterize the residues resulting from the oil extraction process of the Barton cultivar. For this purpose, pecans from commercial orchards were shelled for oil extraction via pressing. The shells and the cake resulting from the oil extraction were collected. Both the shells and cake were evaluated for their proximal composition and bioactive compounds. The cake showed a composition of 18.62% protein and 17.42% lipids, with a fatty acid profile similar to pecan kernels. The shells stood out for their total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, as well as their fiber content (36.50%). The valorization of these byproducts is essential as they have potential for use in the food industry and for the development of new products. This study contributes to a more sustainable and economically viable production chain while encouraging the exploration of pecan byproducts, which have an excellent nutritional profile and high added value, expanding market opportunities. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.alice.cnptia.embrapa.br/alice/handle/doc/1185821 Título: Characterization of Pecan Farming in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Autoria: AMBROSINI, L. B.; JOÃO, P. L.; BORBA, A. C. L. de; OLIVEIRA, A. R. de; LISBOA, B. B.; VARGAS, L. K.; KROEFF, D. R.; MARTINS, C. R. Conteúdo: Pecan cultivation is growing in Brazil, especially in Rio Grande do Sul, which is currently the country's leading producer. The demand for qualified technical information about the production chain has been increasing considerably. The Pecan Cultivation in Rio Grande do Sul Diagnosis project was created in this context, with the objective of characterizing the management of orchards, as well as identifying difficulties and possibilities for improvement, by conducting interviews with pecan producers. The sample size was calculated by determining the size of a sample for a finite population based on the estimated proportion in each municipality, which defined 319 interviews. The results show that 63% of the orchards are up to 4 hectares in size; the most common spacing is 10m x 10m; the average productivity was 1105.48 kg·ha-1 in the 2023 harvest; 34% of the producers do not have technical assistance for walnut trees; approximately 30% did not correct the acidity, phosphorus and potassium of the soils before establishing the orchard; almost 80% of the orchards are managed conventionally; less than 10% have irrigation. Regional analysis of pecan orchard management practices revealed significant disparities among then. The main pests and diseases are ants, anthracnose and scab. Manual harvesting is used on 63%. For farmers, the main difficulties in developing the pecan cultivation are: the time between planting and production, the low productivity of the orchard and the price paid. 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
