Water disappearance dynamics in growing-finishing pig production
(2019) [Journal article]The objective of this study was to measure the water disappearance in the drinker and the pattern of daily water intake and estimate the amount of water wasted in pig production. The study will also generate information ... -
Water erosion under simulated rainfall in different soil management systems during soybean growth
(2007) [Journal article]O manejo do solo influencia a cobertura superficial pelo resíduo cultural e, juntamente com a cobertura do solo pela copa das plantas, afeta a erosao hídrica. O objetivo do estudo foi quantificar as perdas de água e solo ... -
Water saturation stress in Mimosa scabrella seedlings
(2019) [Journal article]The stress caused by water saturation has negative consequences for plants. The search for species tolerant to flooded soils can make feasible the use of areas with these characteristics. The objective of this study was ... -
Weed genomics : yielding insights into the genetics of weedy traits for crop improvement
(2023) [Journal article]Weeds cause tremendous economic and ecological damage worldwide. The number of genomes established for weed species has sharply increased during the recent decade, with some 26 weed species having been sequenced and de ... -
Wheat root growth as affected by soil strength
(1999) [Journal article]Soil compaction is a common problem that affects several soil properties and plant growth. In order to assess the effects of soil strength expressed by its mechanical resistance on roots, a growth chamber experiment was ... -
Why controlling ticks is important
(2024) [Journal article]Learning about ticks is important because of the diseases and problems they can cause in people and animals. Ticks are related to spiders and are not insects—they are parasites that live outside their host‘s body and infest ... -

Wood annual average increment and K, Ca and Mg mineral compartments in soils cultivated with eucalypt
(2021) [Journal article]Forestry continuously grows in Brazil and it increases the concerns among planted forest companies regarding sustainable production. Knowledge about soil mineral reserves and nutrient release kinetics may introduce an ... -
Wooden breast and white striping : comparative occurrence in three poultry companies
(2021) [Journal article]To increase the amount of meat produced, researchers have promoted intensive genetic selection for growth rate and muscling and have improved nutrition and management conditions. However, there has been an increase in the ... -
Yacon inulin leaching during hot water blanching
(2015) [Journal article]Yacon roots contain inulin, which has prebiotic properties and it may be used as sucrose or fat substitutes. However, inulin is very soluble in water. The loss of this important nutrient during blanching is caused mainly ... -
Yield and carcass composition of broilers fed with diets based on the concept of crude protein or ideal protein
(2004) [Journal article]Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of diets formulated using the criteria of crude protein (CP) and ideal protein (IP) on the yield and carcass composition of male and female broilers. Birds of two ... -
Yield and profitability of flooded rice genotypes in relation to nitrogen doses and phosphorus and potassium application
(2020) [Journal article]The use of hybrid genotypes is a good alternative for increasing the flooded rice yield. However, there is a need for validation of the fertilizer management under different edaphoclimatic conditions and its greater ... -
