Financial investment projects are characterized by uncertainties. When quantified, these will determine the probability of their occurrence and the condition of risk. This information might be analyzed via simulation of Monte Carlo Method, which will establish the level of associated risk. To understand the financial risks of broiler production in integration system, cash flow models for aviaries were formulated with different technological levels. Using deterministic techniques, the value of the main economic viability indicators were calculated, which were incorporated to the risk through a probabilistic model of pseudo-random numbers, generated with Monte Carlo Method. The uncertainties associated to financial projects show that broiler production in different integration systems is economically viable. However, the best financial return and smallest risk are obtained with an aviary which contains low technological level and the least financial investment.

Obejtivou-se no presente trabalho avaliar os parâmetros de adaptabilidade e de estabilidade de linhagens e cultivares de feijoeiro, com grãos especiais, por meio do uso do genótipo suplementar (GS) em análise AMMI (Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction). Foram utilizados dados de produtividade de grãos de 14 genótipos de feijoeiro pertencentes ao ensaio de Valor de Cultivo e Uso (VCU), para o estado de São Paulo, referente às safras de 2005/2006/2007, semeados em 24 ambientes no delineamento de blocos casualizados, com três repetições. Pôde-se observar diferenças no comportamento dos genótipos em função do estímulo do ambiente, uma vez que a interação genótipo x ambiente foi significativa. Para tanto os genótipos Gen 99 TGR 34-16 (época das águas), Jalo Precoce e IAC - Centauro (época da seca), Gen 99 TG 28-68 e IAC-Centauro (época de inverno) e IAC-Boreal (conjunto das três épocas) apresentaram-se estáveis, pois seus valores de escores foram próximos de zero. Em relação ao conjunto das três épocas de semeadura não foi detectado nenhum genótipo próximo ao GS, no entanto os genótipos IAPAR-31 e IAC-Centauro (época da seca), Gen 99 TG 28-68 e IAC-Centauro (época de inverno) aproximaram-se desse ponto tendo como característica o fato de interagirem com os ambientes de maneira mais favorável possível. Sendo assim, o método AMMI combinado com o uso do GS auxilia na identificação de genótipos superiores.The objective of the present study is to evaluate adaptability and stability parameters of lines and cultivars of common bean plants with special grains through the use of supplementary genotypes (GS) and AMMI (Additive Main Effect and Multiplicative Interaction) analysis. Productivity data of 14 lines and cultivars of common beans belonging to the Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU assay) of the State of São Paulo, referent to the harvests of 2005/2006/2007, seeded in twenty-four environments following a randomized blocks design with three repetitions, were used. It is possible to observe performance differences of the genotypes in function of environmental stimulus, since the genotype x environment integration was significant. Genotypes Gen 99 TGR 34-16 (raining period), Jalo Precoce and IAC -Centauro (dry period), Gen 99 TG 28-68 and IAC-Centauro (winter period) and IAC - Boreal (set of all the three periods) were stable, presenting score values close to zero. Regarding the set of the three seeding periods, we did not detect any genotype close to GS; nevertheless, the genotypes IAPAR-31 and IAC-Centauro (dry period), Gen99 TG 2868 and IAC-Centauro (winter period) were close to this point, interacting with environments in the most favorable way as possible. Therefore, the AMMI method combined with GS use helps to identify superior genotypes.

Neste estudo, objetivou-se avaliar a estabilidade e a adaptabilidade de genótipos de feijoeiro, cultivados em diferentes ambientes, por meio da análise multivariada da performance genotípica, empregando-se os teores de água, o valor protéico e os parâmetros de qualidade tecnológica dos grãos (porcentagem de absorção de água antes e após o cozimento, tempo de cozimento, porcentagem de grãos inteiros, expansão volumétrica e sólidos solúveis totais no caldo), em conjunto com a produtividade média dos genótipos cultivados em diversos ambientes, visando a identificar as linhagens e/ou cultivares mais estáveis e adaptadas para o conjunto de caracteres de importância para a cadeia produtiva do feijoeiro. Para tanto, foram avaliados 19 genótipos de feijoeiro pertencentes aos ensaios de VCU (Valor de Cultivo e Uso) 2005/2006/2007 de grãos dos grupos comerciais carioca e preto para o estado de São Paulo. Os resultados obtidos pela análise multivarida para a o conjunto das três épocas de semeadura reportaram o genótipo Gen 96A98-15-3-52-1 e a cultivar IAC-Alvorada como estáveis, responsivas à melhoria dos ambientes e tolerantes nos ambientes desfavoráveis. Por meio dos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que a análise de estabilidade e adaptabilidade multivariada proposta por Carneiro (1998), baseadas em Lin & Binns (1988), mostra-se eficiente e simples para a avaliação do desempenho genotípico das cultivares, além de apresentarem unicidade do parâmetro para estimar a adaptabilidade à ambientes favoráveis e desfavoráveis, e simplicidade na interpretação dos resultados.The purpose of this research was to evaluate the stability and adaptability of the genotypes of common beans, cultivated in different environments through multivariate analysis of genotype performance employing up water contents, protein value and technological parameters of quality (percentage of absorption of water before and after cooking, time of cooking, percentage of complete grains, volumetric expansion and soluble solid totals in the broth), together with average productivity of the genotypes. To that end, 19 genotypes of common bean of the carioca and black commercial groups, belonging the testing of VCU (Value of Cultivation and Use) of São Paulo state have been evaluated in the crops of 2005/2006/2007. According to the results obtained by multivariate analysis for the set of the three seasons of culture the genotype Gen 96A98-15-3-52-1 and IAC- Alvorada were classified as stable, responsive to improvement of the environment, and tolerant in unfavorable environments. It can be concluded from these results that the univariate and multivariate adaptability and stability analyses proposed by Carneiro (1998) based on Lin & Binns (1988) is an efficient and simple way to assess the genotype performance of the cultivars, besides presenting parameter uniqueness to estimate adaptability to favorable and unfavorable environments, with a simple interpretation of the results.

ABSTRACT Cut flowers deteriorate quickly and require postharvest technologies to increase their durability, which is usually around 8 days. Due to the scarce information related to postharvest physiology of Alstroemeria cut flowers, this study aimed to verify the best dose of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to the postharvest conservation of inflorescences of Alstroemeria cv. Ajax, considering the factors associated with floral senescence and loss of the decorative life. The stems were submitted to four doses of 1-MCP (0; 100; 250; 500 ppb), then placed in containers with distilled water and stored at room temperature (22 ºC). The treatments were performed in triplicate containing three stems per replicate. The evaluations were performed every three days for a total of 12 days of storage. An F test was conducted, and the means were compared by the Tukey test (p≤0.05). Among the applied treatments the dose of 500 ppb of 1-MCP reduces the loss of water of the stems of alstroemerias during the storage period, keeping the petals turgids and the levels of carotenoids and anthocyanins high, however, this was not enough to keep the decorative quality of the flowers, once the 1-MCP did not solve the problems of yellowing of the leaves and floral openning, which are important characteristics for its commercialization.

ABSTRACT Given the impact of climate issues and their direct influence on agricultural production, the aim of this study was to identify superior genotypes of dry edible common bean under water deficit. Thus, 30 common bean genotypes were evaluated under controlled greenhouse conditions in a randomized block experimental design with split plots and four replications; the plots consisted of the water treatments (irrigated and water deficit) and the split plots consisted of the genotypes. The results showed genetic variability among the accessions evaluated, and in spite of significant reduction in grain yield and stomatal conductance under water deficit, these two traits showed significant, positive correlation and are able to be applied in early selection of genotypes under this stress condition. Another important response was in relation to the genotypes SER-16, SEN 92, FT Paulistinha, Carioca Precoce, IAC Imperador, and SXB 410, which showed the best yield performances in the two water treatments applied. They can be widely used in breeding programs for development of new cultivars, especially aiming at drought tolerance.
