Summary: Intercropping between annual crops with tropical forages can increase crop diversity and soybean productivity, making it a sustainable option. This study examined the impact of soil crop residues from Panicum maximum plants intercropped with maize on soybean productivity. The results showed that intercropping with certain cultivars of Panicum maximum led to higher biomass production and nutrient cycling potential, resulting in a 28.4% increase in soybean productivity.

Summary: This study developed a novel herbicide-resistant soybean through the use of EMS mutagen. The mutagen was applied to the soybean seeds, resulting in the selection of a single resistant mutant. The AHAS gene regions of the mutant progeny were analyzed, revealing specific nucleotide changes and amino acid alterations responsible for herbicide resistance.

Summary: The nutritional status of plants plays a crucial role in soybean resistance against Asian soybean rust (ASR). Nickel (Ni) and glyphosate (Gl) have been reported to have beneficial effects on ASR control. This study investigated the effects of Ni, Gl, and their combination on defense mechanisms and antioxidative metabolism of soybean plants infected by Phakopsora pachyrhizi. The results showed that Ni and Gl significantly reduced the severity of ASR. Ni enhanced defense mechanisms, while Gl had limited impact on host defense responses.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of storage on physicochemical characteristics, sensory quality, and microbial quality of fermented whey cereal beverage. The results showed that during storage, acidity, tyrosine values, free fatty acid values, and wheying off increased in all samples, with higher increases observed in non-nisin treated and non-thermised samples compared to the control group. However, all samples remained sensorily acceptable for up to 12 days of storage. Fermented whey cereal products treated with basic and thermisation processes, as well as nisin, demonstrate innovative dairy products with desirable functional characteristics and decent shelf life.

Summary: Plant growth-promoting endophytic microorganisms play an important role in Brazilian agriculture, but their colonization and development are influenced by various factors. This study evaluated the effects of inoculant concentration and mineral fertilization on soybean and maize crops and found that higher inoculant concentrations require more nutrients and energy support, while mineral fertilization limits endophytic colonization.

Summary: The use of agricultural lime and gypsum can improve soil chemical properties and crop yields in high-acidity soils. However, their effects on low-acidity, no-till tropical soils have been poorly studied. This research found that lime application led to soil alkalization and improved soil chemical properties, but did not significantly increase crop yield. Gypsum application increased calcium levels but decreased magnesium levels in the soil. The residual effects of lime were longer-lasting than gypsum, indicating the low reactivity of lime in no-till soils.

Summary: The objective of this study was to determine the best method to establish optimal timing of fungicide applications on corn, soybean, and bean plants, by comparing results based on the calendar versus agrometeorological data. Among the integrated disease management tools investigated, it was concluded that chemical control improves crop health and yield for corn, soybean, and bean plants, especially when timing of treatment application is based on the calendar. The programme AgroDetecta (TM) showed promise as a decision-making tool for the best timing to spray, but requires adjustments for commercial use.

Summary: The study found that the physiological quality of peanut seeds is predominantly acquired during the development process, reaching its peak between 57 and 76 days after flowering in the late stage of maturation. Additionally, the appropriate proportion of rainfall and thermal sum in the maternal environment were factors that facilitated the acquisition of peanut seed longevity.

Summary: The study found that applying lime combined with phosphogypsum in tropical no-till systems can improve soil fertility, enhance soybean root growth, and increase plant nutrition and physiological responses, resulting in improved crop resistance to dry spells. These long-term soil amendments also increased the movement of cationic bases and roots in the soil profile, improving soybean nutrition. Moreover, the application of lime and phosphogypsum enhanced carbon and antioxidant metabolism in soybean plants, leading to higher grain yield despite the occurrence of dry spells in the tropical region.
