O presente trabalho foi desenvolvido no Departamento de Agricultura e Horticultura da ESALQ, Piracicaba, tendo como objetivo estudar o crescimento da cultura da berinjela. Foram retiradas 14 plantas de uma cultuta de berinjela, cv. Florida Market, com uma população de 9.926 plantas por hectare. As plantas foram submetidas à análise de crescimento, de acordo com os métodos de Williams e Blackman & Wilson. A berinjela cresce vagarosamente durante a primeira fase, crescendo rapidamente a partir dos 42 dias após o transplante. A atividade fotossintética varia com a idade da planta, atingindo o ponto máximo ao redor dos 28 dias após o transplante.

The author carried out a study on the behavior of cabbage for a period of two years (1952 and 1953). From the results obtained it was concluded that, cabbage, Brassica oleraceae, var. capitata, developed better during the cooler season of the year, that is, from April to June and, the yield decresed from the beginning to the end of the sowing time, that is, from April to Ocotber.

The author studied the possibility of propagating "Samambaia de Metro" Polypodium Subauriculatum, by means of spores, since vegetative multiplication is hard to obtain for large numbers of plants. Five treatments were tried, with 4 replications. I - Coarse "Flores Floor" and fine "Flores Floor". II - Coarse Flores Floor and moss. III - Coarse sand, Flores Floor and brick powder VI - Coarse sand, Flores Floor and brick powder V - Coarse sand and Flores Floor. The best germination was obtained with treatment V (Coarse sand et the boltom), topesed by Flores Floor. The pots were permanently kept on a tray pul of water, in a Greenhouse. This method provided over 4.000 offspring, which at 2 ½ years of age were of a size mitable for ornamental use.

O presente trabalho foi realizado em Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brasil. Os autores fizeram observações sôbre a posição que as gemas ocupam na base das bainhas das fôlhas da bananeira e às quais estão associadas. Utilizaram o cultivar Musa (Grupo AAA, Sub-Grupo Cavendish) "Nanicão", classificado de acôrdo com a nomenclatura de SIMMONDS (1966). Chegaram às seguintes conclusões: 1. As gemas associadas às bases das bainhas foliares estão colocadas em sua metade esquerda. 2. A metade direita das bainhas encobre as gemas colocadas mais internamente no caule da bananeira. 3. A disposição das gemas no caule é função da filotaxia da planta. In this paper, result of studies conducted in Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, the authors made observations about the position of the buds at the base of the leaf sheaths to which they are associated. They used the banana plant variety Musa (AAA Group, Cavendish Sub-Group) "Nanicão", classified according to SIMMONDS' nomenclature (1966). The following conclusions were drawn :(1) The buds at the base of the leaf sheaths are found on the left, at lateral position on the sheaths. (2) The right side of the sheaths covers the younger buds which are placed more internally on the banana stem. (3) The position of the buds in the banana stem is a function of the phyllotaxy of the plant.

Os cormilhos tipo 7 produziram bulbos e cormilhos dos tipos de 1 a 8 em maior quantidade que o tipo 8 e os bulbos tipos 1, 2, 3, 4 e 5 mais pesados. Os cormilhos tipo 8 também produziram bulbos e cormilhos dos tipos 1 a 8, porém seus cormilhos foram mais pesados que os cormilhos produzidos pelo tipo 7. Cormels type 7 produced corms and cormels type 1 to 8 in greater quantity than type number 8 and corms type 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were heavier. Cormels type 8 also produced corms and cormels type 1 to 8, however their cormels were heavier than cormels produzed by type 7.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a influência de diferentes densidades populacionais de craveiros, cultivados em casa de vegetação, sobre a produção das flores. As densidades populacionais estudadas, 233.333, I75.000 e 116.667 plantas por hectare, foram obtidas pela utilização de espaçamentos de respectivamente 0 ,15 m x 0,15 m; 0,20 m x 0,20 m e 0,30 m x 0,20 m. Scania Red foi o cultivar utilizado. Concluiu-se que o aumento da densidade de plantio causou um acréscimo na produção total de cravos por área e uma diminuição da produção de cravos por planta. The influence of density of planting on flower production of carnation plants grown in vinil houses, was studied. Planting densities of 233,333; 175,000 and 116,667 plants per hectare were obtained by using planting spacings of 0.20 m between rows and 0.15 m, 0,20 m and 0.30 m between plants. Data were taken on total number of flowers per plant and per hectare. As far as planting densities are concerned, there was an increase of total flower production per hectare and a decrease of slower production per plant.

Três doses de N, P e K foram testadas em culturas de gladíolos (Gladiolus grandiflorus cv. 'Perusi') provenientes de três tamanhos diferentes de bulbos (Nº 3, Nº 1 e Jumbo). Todos os tratos culturais necessários foram dispensados aos experimentos cuja instalação se deu em um solo podzolizado da Cooperativa Agrícola de Holambra, em Jaguariúna - SP. Estudaram-se os efeitos de adubação sobre produção de flores, produção de bulbos e de bulbilhos. A resposta do gladíolo aos níveis de fertilização variou bastante com o tamanho de bulbo plantado. São discutidos os efeitos de cada nutriente sobre as características estudadas. Studies on N, P. K fertilization of Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus, cv. 'Perusi'). At the Agricultural Cooperative of Holambra, Jaguariúna SP, experiments with gladiolus were conducted with the objective of studying the effects of increasing dosis of N, R and K on the floral stems and corms production. The response of gladiolus to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium varied with the size of the corm that was planted. The effects of each nutrient on several characteristics of plants are discussed.

The authors study the insect population that visit the mango trees and search for their pollinizing activity. Prior operations showed that very few bees (Apis mellifera) visited the flowers of mango trees. It was known that the percentage of fecundation is low (Simao 1955), Popenoe (1929), Spencer and Kennard (1955), Lynch and Mustard (1955), Ruehle and Ledin (1955), so that the authors wented to Know if insects could be responsible for this. Insects were collected from mango trees, belonging to 10 orders, which, on the whole are not pollinizing agents. Bees were not collected, 21% were Hymenoptera, 20% were Diptera, 13% Hemiptera, 10% Coleoptera, 3% Blattariae and smoller percentages belonged to other orders.

Th objective of this study was to determine the effects of selection time suckers on the growth and production of banana matrix plant (Musa cavendishii Lamb) cv, Nanicão. The trial was carried out at the Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", Piracicaba (SP) Brazil, from September, 19, 1971, to January 31, 1973. A randomized blocks design was used with five treatments and five replications The treatments were as folows: 1. Matrix plant whitout suckers; 2. Matrix plant with January sucker; 3. Matrix plant with March sucker; 4. Matrix plant with may sucker; and 5. Control matrix plant with all suckers. The results of study were: a. Matrix plant with May sucker incresead the time from planting to flowering as compared with January sucker, no sucker, and March sucker; control matrix plant with all suckers delayed flowering time as compared with matrix plant witch March sucker. b. The pseudostem circunference at flowering time were similar in all treatments except treatment with January sucker and control matrix plant with all suckers; these treatments have resulted in a markerd reduction in circunference of pseudostem at flowering time. c. Production cycle periods were similar for treatments no sucker, January and May sucker; the production cycle was smaller with March sucker and larger in control matrix plant with all suckers. d. The number of leaves in harvesting time was highest in May sucker as compared with January sucker and control matrix plant with all suckers; the treatments no sucker and March sucker had highest number of leaves as compared control matrix plant with all suckers. e. Control matrix plant with all suckers had lower average bunch weight as compared with treatments with no sucker, March and May sucker. f. These was no significance diference on pseudostem circunference at flowering and harvesting time, "hands" and "finger" number per bunch. No presente trabalho foram feitos os tratamentos: planta matriz sem rebentos; planta matriz com rebentos de janeiro, março e maio e testemunha com todos os rebentos, sendo estudada sua influência no desenvolvimento e produção da planta matriz de bananeira. Os resultados mostraram diferença significativa entre os tratamentos, com relação ao número de dias do plantio ao florescimento, ciclo de produção, número de folhas na colheita e peso do cacho. Não houve diferença significativa em relação ao diâmetro do pseudo-caule no florescimento e colheita, número de pencas e frutos.

During 1952 and 1953 the author observed that radish, Raphanus sativus, L, developed rapidily in the warmer and damper period of the year and endured the lower temperatures. The yiel of leaves counted from 20 to 40% of the plant weigth.
