The cultivation of soybeans is a widely practiced agricultural activity in the state of Mato Grosso, as well as in various regions of Brazil. However, the expansion of agricultural production poses a threat to native habitat areas, leading to the fragmentation of ecosystems and the simplification of landscapes. It also has negative impacts on biodiversity, directly affecting ecosystem services. Insects play a crucial role in providing ecosystem services for agriculture, such as natural pest control. Considered generalist predators, beetles belonging to the families Carabidae and Staphylinidae are important predators that not only contribute to the control of arthropod pests but also play a role in suppressing weeds, as some Carabidae species feed on the seeds of these plants.In order to understand the dynamics and distribution of beetle populations in both agricultural and native environments, our study aimed to assess: i) how different habitats (native and soybean) in the Cerrado and Forest (Amazon) vegetation domains influence the community structure (richness, abundance, and composition) of predator beetle species (Carabidae and Staphylinidae); and ii) whether there are indicator species that can provide information about the dynamics and condition of the ecosystem. Our results indicate that the community structure of beetles from both families is influenced by both habitat and regional vegetation. The Carabidae family showed higher richness and abundance in soybean cultivation, while for Staphylinidae, richness and abundance were higher in the native forest environment. Indicator species for carabids in the Cerrado were Odontocheila chrysis in the native habitat and Selenophorus alternans found in the soybean environment in the Forest. For the Staphylinidae family in the Cerrado, Aleochara and Belonuchus docilis species were indicators in the soybean habitat, and Neohypnus sp3 in the native habitat. In the forest, there were only indicator species for the native environment, from the genera Neohypnus and Eulissus rutilis. These species are predators and contribute to the maintenance and balance of the environment, in addition to presenting other ecological functions. Our results show that the environmental characteristics of the studied habitats have a significant impact on the structure of beetle communities in the Carabidae and Staphylinidae families.

This article aims to analyze the agrarian development policy stimulated by Federal Law No. 11,107, of April 6, 2005. Using the quali-quantitative methodology of the database presented by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE, it sought A characterization was carried out with the diagnosis of the 15 municipalities that make up the Intermunicipal Consortium for Regional, Economic, Social, Environmental and Tourism Development of the Territory of Alto do Rio Paraguai, State of Mato Grosso. Comparing the development model of municipalities and land use based on data from the Agricultural Census (IBGE - 2017), analyzing in each municipality, the main agricultural activities and production, the distribution of agricultural establishments, the territorialization of capital in the model of development typified by the land structure, the characterization of the concentration of land by Business Agricultural Establishments and the dispute for space with Family Farming, the relationship between work and income, and the occupation of people in the Territory.

Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), commonly called brown stink bug, is considered a key pest of soybean crops, due to the damage caused to pods and grains. Currently, its management is based, almost exclusively, on the spraying of chemical insecticides. Consequently, concern emerges regarding the environmental risk of these pesticides, which can be estimated through certain tools such as the Environmental Risk Index (ERI). Furthermore, in recent years, the application of entomopathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and viruses) associated with pesticides is also evident, with the aim of minimizing re-entry into the crop. However, data on the compatibility of these associations are scarce, especially in the control of E. heros. Thus, the present work aimed to: estimate the ERI of the main insecticides used to control stink bug pests in soybean crops, in Mato Grosso, and evaluate the toxicity of the association of entomopathogenic bacteria and phytosanitary products registered for the aforementioned crop, in the management from E. heros. Data on the most commercialized active ingredients (a.i.s.) for the management of stink bug in soybeans in 2022 were collected from the Mato Grosso Agricultural Defense Institute (INDEA-MT). The physicochemical characteristics of the active ingredients were obtained from the Pesticide Properties Database (PPDB) at the University of Hertfordshire. The parameters used to calculate the ERI were: persistence, leaching, volatilization, toxicological profile and dose. In the in vitro compatibility test, 24 phytosanitary products associated with Pseudomonas fluorescens+Pseudomonas chlororaphis were evaluated, while in the spray test, seven sprays were simulated, based on applications by soybean farmers in the region. Compatibility was determined by counting colony forming units (CFUs) and measuring colony diameter (cm). The associations considered compatible were used in vivo bioassays with 3rd instar nymphs and adults (females) of E. heros. From the results obtained, it was found that in 2022, 11.612.956 kg of chemical insecticides for soybeans were sold, with acephate representing ≅33,18% of this volume (3.853.687 kg). Regarding ERI, the highest index was observed for the neonicotinoid imidacloprid (ERI=12), while the lowest value was found for the organophosphate acephate (ERI=5) and the sulfoxamine sulfoxaflor (ERI=5). In in vitro bioassays, of the 24 products evaluated, only Beauveria bassiana and indoxacarb were compatible for P. fluorescens+P. chlororaphis. Regarding the sprays, they were all incompatible, inhibiting the growth of the bacteria under study. In in vivo tests, the combination of P. fluorescens+P. chlororaphis + indoxacarb proved to be the most efficient in controlling 3rd instar nymphs, in addition to significantly reducing fertility and fecundity parameters in adults. Given these results, it is expected that the ERI estimate will provide support for the selection of i.as. with low toxicity, in order to minimize the negative impacts arising from undue spraying, in addition, it was evident in the bioassays that the recommendation of the association between P. fluorescens+P. chlororaphis and herbicides/fungicides/adjuvants, as these were highly toxic to microorganisms. Finally, it is concluded that the a.i. indoxacarb can be applied in mixture with bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas in the management of the brown soybean stink bug.

Diseases of the circulatory system are a major public health problem and are associated with various factors, including meteorological elements. Thermal discomfort indices are used to measure the thermal sensation of a given environment. Thus, the aim was to analyze the meteorological elements associated with human thermal discomfort in the cities of Alta Floresta (MT) and Tangará da Serra (MT) with the aim of recognizing their impacts on morbidity and mortality of the adult population due to circulatory system diseases. Meteorological data, including the total monthly accumulated precipitation and daily average air temperature, relative humidity, and thermal amplitude, were collected from the Agrometeorology Laboratory of the State University of Mato Grosso. Information regarding the number of hospitalizations and deaths from cardiovascular diseases (≥20 years) was obtained from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS) website; the period from 2013 to 2022 was considered. Pearson's parametric correlation test (r) was used for data analysis. It was found that the elderly represent the highest number of hospitalizations and deaths from circulatory system diseases (CSD) in both locations, and that the highest number of cases occurred during dry periods. For Alta Floresta, the correlations found were for temperature, thermal amplitude, and relative humidity; while in Tangará da Serra, correlations were found with temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation. Regarding thermal discomfort indices for both cities, correlations were found with ITU and IC for both daily average and 14-hour average. The results show that Alta Floresta has higher temperatures and relative humidity compared to Tangará da Serra, as well as being more uncomfortable in relation to the indices.

The orange tree (Citrus sinensis L. Osbek) is one of the best known, cultivated and studied fruit trees in the world. Brazil is currently the largest orange producer in the world and the main exporter of concentrated orange juice. Even though it is the world's largest fruit producer, the country still faces several challenges in the sector. The main of these challenges comes from phytosanitary problems, requiring diversification in the use of scion varieties and rootstocks in citrus, which makes it possible to overcome abiotic and biotic problems and obtain gains in productivity. Therefore, research related to expanding the genetic base of orchards and evaluating the agronomic potential of the new genotypes obtained must be conducted to support and optimize the production system. Therefore, this work aimed to: (i) evaluate the productivity and biometric parameters related to the vegetative vigor index of eleven sweet orange cultivars grafted onto two rootstocks: ‘Citrumelo Swingle’ and ‘Citrumelo F80-5’; (ii) evaluate the physicochemical characteristics and bioactive compounds of the fruits of the eleven cultivars grafted onto ‘Citrumelo F80-5’ in the orchard’s first harvest; (iii) select the best scion/rootstock combination(s) for the irrigated cultivation system, in the edaphoclimatic conditions of Tangará da Serra - MT. The experiment was conducted on the Boitanga farm, located in the city of Tangará da Serra - MT, the experimental design was in randomized blocks, in a 2 x 11 factorial scheme (two rootstocks and eleven scion cultivars), with four replications and one plant per portion. To determine productivity, the fruits were harvested and weighed throughout the 2022/2023 harvest. In biometric assessments, measurements were taken 36 months after planting and analyzes were carried out following the methodology of Portela et al. (2016). The physicochemical evaluations followed the methodology used by Caputo (2012). Preliminary results showed that the growth of orange trees grafted onto ‘Citrumelo Swingle’ was more vigorous compared to the growth of orange trees grafted onto ‘Citrumelo F80-5’, with plants exceeding 2.5m in height. Fruit analyzes showed the cultivar ‘Malhe 5’ as the crown with the highest fruit mass (MF) and ‘Pera Bianchini’ with the highest juice yield, with an average juice yield of more than 50%.

Planting density has been studied as a strategy to improve productivity and profitability in passion fruit cultivation and the use of small spacings can result in a high planting density. Cultivation in a protected environment allows greater control of the environment, production at various times of the year, extension of the harvest period and fruit quality. The production of passion fruit species can be a profitable activity aimed at diversifying products for sale. The objective of this work is to verify the effects of different spacing systems on the sour passion fruit, solar cultivar in four planting densities: experiment adopted a randomized block design for production during the first cycle: the first was 1.80x2 (greenhouse ); 3x1.80x2; 3x2; 1.80x2 (field). And the variation in productivity of different passion fruit cultivars P. edulis Sims (Roxinho), BRS Sertão Forte, BRS Pérola do Cerrado and BRS Mel do Cerrado, throughout the year. 

Seasoning vegetables, also known as seasonings, have been important for a long time. They play an important role in the economy, health and cuisine. The Apiaceae family, Eryngium foetidum stands out among these spices. The plant can be found in different environments. The environment directly influences the plant. Changes in environments have a great impact, factors such as temperature, humidity, sunlight and others affect physiology, productive characteristics and quality. Furthermore, these factors influence functional compounds. It is important to understand the metabolism of the crop and how it interacts with the environment, being able to create a management system that helps produce leafy vegetables with the best attributes. The study aimed to verify the levels of chlorophylls, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, antioxidant activity and productivity. The experiment was carried out in Nova Mutum – MT, where pará chicory was cultivated, using randomized block methods, which included four repetitions and seven treatments. The treatments were six shading meshes, with 35% shade: black sombrite®, thermo-reflective silver aluminet®, red chromatinet®, pearl, organza (47 gm-2), white polyethylene agrotextile (TNT) (15 g m- ²) and open field. Agrotextile and organza stood out best for the cultivation of Eryngium foetidum, these treatments provided the best growth conditions, resulting in two harvests with greater leaf fresh mass, 106.8 and 155.9 g per plant. Through the application of the ABTS method, it was observed that the harvest carried out after 90 days is the most efficient, as it has the highest concentration of antioxidants and phytochemical compounds. One of the most favorable environments is agrotextiles, which have a high concentration of chlorophyll a and b. Furthermore, it was evident that open field cultivation has a positive impact on the quantity of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, which are directly related to the antioxidant capacity and quality of eryngium foetidum. Such factors are crucial to satisfy the demands of the consumer market.

The research aims to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the biological risks associated with the handling of chicken litter in the poultry industry and its impact on workers' health, an area that has received little attention in the Brazilian context. The study aims to assess the biological risk of poultry litter used in horticulture, considering its potential impact on production and the health of the workers involved. The first article highlights exposure to microorganisms, fungi, mites and endotoxins in chicken litter. The second article aims to compare the biological risks faced by workers who deal with chicken litter with those in stables and stables, proposing their inclusion in the list of professions entitled to hazard pay, in accordance with NR 15, Annex 14. The relevance research lies in the fact that the poultry industry plays a crucial role in food production, but handling chicken litter can expose workers to various biological risks, such as pathogenic microorganisms, allergens, bacteria and viruses. Although NR 15, Annex 14, establishes criteria for the classification of unsanitary conditions in activities with exposure to biological agents, the risks associated with the handling of chicken litter were not specifically addressed. Therefore, the research aims to fill this gap by evaluating the biological risks involved in this activity and comparing them with the risks faced by workers in stables and stables, which are already considered unhealthy due to the inherent biological risks. Based on a rigorous analysis, we seek to propose the inclusion of chicken litter workers in the list of professions entitled to additional hazard pay, as long as it is demonstrated that the biological risks involved are comparable to those of other activities already covered by NR 15 , Annex 14. In this way, the research assumes relevance in contributing to the protection of the health of workers in the poultry industry and, ideally, to the updating of regulatory standards, in order to reflect contemporary biological risks and ensure due remuneration and protection of those who face such risks in their work environment.

Mato Grosso stands out as one of the main agricultural producers in the country, with a territorial area that raises great expectations for development in the state and, consequently, in the municipalities. Given the projections for the state, this research aimed to investigate the influence of this sector on the development of municipalities, analyzing relationships with social indicators, based on data provided by IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), by CAR (Rural Environmental Registry), and by CONAB (National Supply Company). The applied methodology involved statistical analysis in 2 clusters divided using the clustering method. Preliminary results indicate a tendency towards a relationship between the agricultural sector and the development of municipalities

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a very nutritious fruit with good organoleptic qualities. Fruit quality is the result of the influence of several factors. Climatic fluctuations is one of the main factors that directly affect production. In this sense, knowing the areas with agroclimatic aptitude can contribute to the greater success of the investment in new planting areas, in addition to guiding in management strategies. In view of the above, the objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of mamoiero fruits and the agroclimatic aptitude of the culture for the municipality of Tangará da Serra - MT. The first experiment was carried out in the experimental field of the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT) on the Tangará da Serra campus. The cultivars Aliança, Bela Nova, Calimosa, Golden, Golden THB, Rubi Incaper 511, Tainung nº1, T2, UC 12, UC 14 and UC 16 were evaluated. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four replications and six plants per portion. After the beginning of the ripening of the fruits, the physical, physico-chemical, biochemical and sensorial qualities of the fruits of the different cultivars were evaluated. All cultivars present averages of colluble solids (SS) above 12º Brix. The Ruby Incaper 511 papaya was preferred by the tasters through sensory evaluation. In the second experiment, the objective is to study the agroclimatic aptitude of the municipality of Tangará da Serra - MT for the cultivation of papaya. The data for carrying out the work will be provided by the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). Daily precipitation and average temperature data from 2012 to 2021. The crop aptitude classes will be categorized according to temperature and precipitation in: suitable, when the values presented by the variables met all the requirements of the crop; restricted, when they partially met the requirements; and unfit, when they did not meet the requirements.

Cotton (Gossypium L.) is one of the most important plants for the production of fibers, in addition to being a source of animal food and raw material for the production of oil from its seeds. The growing increase in cotton cultivation has led to the search for alternatives in order to express the maximum productive potential of the plants, however, increasingly influenced by concerns about the environment. For this, the use of biological products are alternatives that aim to increase productivity. Growth inducers tend to improve the growth and defense system of plants against abiotic and biotic stresses, being considered strategic in the search for sustainable agriculture. The objective of this work was to test different products based on resistance-inducing microorganisms in late sowing cotton in the 2021/22 harvest. The experiment was carried out on the private property on a farm located 35 km from the municipality of Sapezal, Estrada SZ 01, left bank. Seven varieties of cotton were sown and three types of products based on microorganisms were used, being a bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and two fungi of the genus Trichoderma. The experimental design consisted of a factorial experiment with combinations of 7 cotton materials and 3 treatments with applications of resistance-inducing microorganisms and control with 3 replications. The applications were carried out via foliar, 2 applications of each product in stages B4 and F1, with a CO2 backpack sprayer. The trial was conducted from March to July 2022. The following characteristics were evaluated: Plant height, number of first, second, and third position reproductive structures, number of abortions, productivity, and soil microbial activity based on the Basal Basal Respiration (RBS). The productivity result behaved differently in relation to treatments and varieties, in some cases the control treatment expressed higher productivity, not generating a significant difference between treatments. 

The use of herbicides contributed to the expansion of agriculture, which are diverse for weed control and their behavior in the environment is influenced by factors. Prolonged stay can cause environmental maintenance and excessive leaching of herbicides. The pyroxasulfone environment recently and the pyroxasulfone environment are information pyramids in Brazil and are not part of their behavior. In this sense, the use of bioindicator plants an affordable and effective alternative in the determination is herbicides in the soil. The objective of this work was to evaluate the sensitivity of lettuce, cucumber and whey to the herbicides pyroxasulfone and flumioxazin in order to determine a species with bioindicator potential in soils with different textures. Subsequently, when determining a bioindicator species, a study was carried out on the behavior of pyroxasulfone and pyroxasulfone + flumioxazin in the environment, through the analysis of the leaching potential, carried out in sandy loam soil and residual effect, in soils with contrasting textures. For the selection of bioindicators, four experiments were carried out with two types of soils (Red Latosol and Quartzarenic Neosol). The treatments consisted of doses of pyroxasulfone (3.1; 6.2; 12.5; 25; 50 and 100 g a.i. ha^-1) and pyroxasulfone + flumioxazine (3.1 + 2.07; 6.2 + 4 .13; 12.5 + 8.33; 25 + 16.67; 50 + 33.33; 100 + 66.67 g a.i. ha^-1) applied pre-emergence and a control without application. The analysis of the leaching potential was performed using a soil column bioassay (Neossolo Quartzar) using cucumber as a bioindicator. Irrigations of 0, 30, 60 and 90 mm were simulated after an application of pyroxasulfone (100 g a.i. ha^-1) and pyroxasulfone + flumioxazin (100 + 66.67 g a.i. ha^-1). The study on the residual effect will be carried out in two types of soils (Red Latosol and Quartzarenic Neosol). Two doses of pyroxasulfone (100 and 200 g a.i. ha^-1) and pyroxasulfone + flumioxazin (100 + 66.67 and 200 + 133.33 g a.i. ha^-1) will be used, seven times of application (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days between herbicide application (DAA) and bioindicator sowing), one control without application and four replications. The sowing of the cucumber bioindicator will be carried out at 0 DAA. For both experiments, phytotoxicity assessments were performed at 7 and 14 DAA, while plant height, root length, green biomass and dry biomass of both bioindicators were evaluated at 21 DAA. It was found that lettuce was the most sensitive species selected for both herbicides, however, its high sensitivity to adverse weather conditions may make its use in practical tests difficult. However, cucumber and sorghum also proved to be potential candidates as bioindicators and could be used in bioassays for these herbicides. For the leaching experiment, it was found that increasing irrigation depths provided displacement of herbicide molecules to a depth of 20-25 cm for pyroxasulfone alone and in association with flumioxazin. When water depths of 90 mm were applied, greater interference was observed in the development of cucumbers in the deeper layers, evidencing the greater leaching of herbicides when subjected to intense rainfall. Regarding the residual effect, it is expected that pyroxasulfone and pyroxasulfone + flumioxazin have a superior residual effect in clayey soil, compared to sandy loam texture, and that they cause phytotoxicity in bioindicator plants, making it possible to determine the period that the herbicides remain assets in the environment.

Access to drinking water has been increasingly debated worldwide, measures are proposed and adopted at individual

and collective levels (government or non-governmental bodies), so that this finite good can, at least, fulfill its

primordial role for humans and animals, of thirst. The objective of the present work was to know and evaluate the raw

water of the 3 collection points (Rio Sepotuba, Córregos Queimapé and Russo) for supplying the municipality of

Tangará da Serra- MT, Brazil. Therefore, analyzes of the following variables were performed: Sulfate (SO4), Chloride

(Cl), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Bicarbonate (HCO3), Phosphorus (P) contained in

CONAMA Resolution No. 357/2005, with samples of raw water being collected at 3 points from September 2021 to

August 2022, in order to contemplate the variations of the annual water regime. Based on these variables, the Renal

Acid Load Potential (PRAL) algorithm, adapted for mineral waters, was applied. In addition to these variables, 54

organic parameters were analyzed, mostly pesticides, also present in resolution 357/2005 of the National Council for

the Environment (CONAMA) in January 2022 at the 3 collection points. The samples were sent and analyzed in an

outsourced laboratory. In relation to PRAL, the trend evidenced was that in the rainy season it was more negative,

basic, while in the dry season it was more positive, acidic. Of the 54 pesticides evaluated, only 4 were not detected

and the others were found alone at concentrations below the limits established in national legislation.

The use of chemical inputs for pest control is very common due to their efficiency and faster results. However, their indiscriminate use causes environmental and human health damage, as well as the development of resistance by pest insects. In field conditions, what often helps maintain the balance of these insects is the presence of natural enemies, such as the egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae). However, the primary limiting factor for the parasitoid's performance is the use of non-selective insecticides, even those of biological origin, such as essential oils from plants with insecticidal properties.Seeking to assess the compatibility of using essential oils and commercial insecticides with the parasitoid's activity in agricultural systems, this study investigated the effects of two commercial products and two essential oils on adults and immature stages of T. pretiosum through laboratory bioassays. The tested commercial products were Prêmio® SC and Exalt® SC, and the essential oils were from Piper fuligineum and Piper hispidum at concentrations of 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 4%, with each representing a treatment in addition to water and acetone P.A. controls. The essential oils were obtained through the hydrodistillation technique using 300 grams of fresh leaves cut into strips of approximately 1 cm and 1 liter of distilled water each for 4 hours. The tests were conducted in three bioassays.The first bioassay was carried out in glass Petri dishes, with a total of 4 dishes per treatment. The bottom of each Petri dish was sprayed according to the treatment using an airbrush adapted at a distance of 10 cm from the dish, always using the second spray. The sterile lids of the dishes received a streak of honey for feeding the adult parasitoids. In each dish, 30 adult parasitoids were released, 24 hours old. In this bioassay, the number of dead individuals was evaluated.The second bioassay was conducted in test tubes, with a total of 10 tubes per treatment. Each tube received 20 sterile eggs of Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) glued to sky-blue cards with a gum arabic-based solution and previously sprayed. Then, each tube received two female parasitoids, which remained for 24 hours. Each tube was sealed with PVC plastic wrap and stored in a B.O.D. incubator for 10 days until the parasitoids emerged. In this bioassay, the number of parasitized eggs and the emerged parasitoids by sex were evaluated.The third bioassay was conducted similarly; however, the product spraying was done after offering the eggs to the female parasitoids for 24 hours. Based on the conducted bioassays, only Prêmio® is selective for T. pretiosum. The other tested products are incompatible with the parasitoid because they are highly toxic to the adults, inhibit parasitism, and the emergence of the parasitoids under the conditions of this study.

Habitat loss from the expansion of agriculture is cited as one of the main threats to biodiversity. Agricultural landscapes are increasingly common, however, in these areas the processes and mechanisms related to the persistence of biological communities are still poorly understood. Thus, the prediction of how these communities respond to certain factors can be the basis for planning the conservation of remnants of native habitats and management practices in agricultural systems that are less aggressive. Insects in general are diverse, abundant and participate in important ecological processes for the maintenance of the ecosystem and services for humans. Therefore, they are good organisms for this type of studies. Among insects, beetles of the subfamily Scarabaeinae, “dung beetles”, (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) are indicators of changes in animal and plant communities and in ecosystem functioning, as, among other things, they are sensitive to physical and ecological changes in the habitat. The state of Mato Grosso, Midwest region of Brazil, is one of the largest producers and exporters of soybean (Glycine max L.), in which its cultivated area advances over the native vegetation in the Amazon, Cerrado and Ecotone (Amazon-Cerrado Transition). In view of this, dung beetles were collected with pitfall traps in 75 remnants of native vegetation, maintained in Legal Reserve areas, and in 99 adjacent soybean crops. First, we assess the impacts of converting native habitats into crops, identify which species are able to persist in these environments and which factors (amount of habitat, amount of pasture, time of land use as a crop and time since last grazing) influence this community; crops maintain a community distinct from that found in native environments; Pastures fields and the amount of habitats were good predictors of richness and similarity of composition, however, neither one of the variables studied has an influence on the abundance of dung beetles. Then, we analyze which factors (richness of native environment, NDVI, amount of habitat, amount of pasture and time of anthropic land use) affect the dissimilarity (beta diversity) of species composition; NVDI was the variable that most influenced the change in composition between communities and that there is a marginal effect of species richness in native environments. Therefore, our results suggest that the presence of more conserved native vegetation remnants (Legal Reserves) is important for maintaining the diversity of dung beetles in soybean growing environments, which, consequently, will favor the maintenance of functions ecological and services ecosystems.

There are more than 100 pineapple cultivars, however, only about eight are commercially cultivated, with the Smooth Cayenne cultivar being the most cultivated worldwide. In Brazil, production is distributed firstly by the Pérola cultivar and later by Smooth Cayenne. However, new cultivars have not been commercially launched. Since the use of these cultivars by producers has been low in the country and they need to be evaluated regarding adaptation and productivity so that they can be indicated to rural producers, the objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity and quality of fruits of cultivars of pineapple. Experiment one was implemented in May 2018. The experimental design used was in randomized blocks, with five replications and 20 plants per plot and spacing of 120x40x40cm. The cultivars evaluated were Pérola, BRS Imperial, Jupi, BRS Vitória, Smooth Cayenne, IAC Fantástico, BRS Ajubá and Gigante de Tarauacá. It could be observed that, despite the improved cultivars BRS Imperial, BRS Vitória and IAC Fantástico being resistant to fusariosis, not having thorns and having good qualitative characteristics, they had very low fruit mass. In turn, the cultivar BRS Ajubá stands out, which despite having good qualitative characteristics, being resistant to fusariosis and not showing thorns, obtained a good mass of fruit, being considered a good option for producers. The cultivars BRS Imperial, BRS Ajubá and IAC Fantástico are the most attractive to the consumer from a sensory point of view, due to their appearance, flavor and ideal sweetness. In addition to being resistant to fusariosis and not having thorns, characteristics that benefit rural producers.

Information and Communication Technology resources are part of people's daily lives, present today in the most different areas. Common in urban areas is gradually extending to rural areas, where, for a number of factors, it mainly serves larger producers. In this sense, producers classified as family members, who are usually small producers, need the support of institutions commonly linked to the public sphere, whether municipal, state or federal, for their provision. This article sought to evaluate, through a semi-structured questionnaire, the Direto da Roça MT platform (www.diretodarocamt.com.br), an initiative of this type of resource offered through the MT Horticultura program, an extension project from UNEMAT – University of the State of Mato Grosso. The platform is a virtual shop window with the objective of displaying products and producers on the internet, in a way that helps as a new sales channel bringing the producer closer to the consumer. The main results obtained were indicators of the platform's efficiency and its contributions to producers, as well as the need for structural adjustments.

The large extensions of cultivated areas in Brazil often generate phytosanitary problems, which have increased the use of pesticides. Consequently, there is a concern regarding the potential for contamination that these compounds can cause in the environment, and the proposal of the Environmental Risk Index (ERI) serves as a tool for managing the environmental impacts of pesticides. In addition, the search for more effective management tactics, such as the use of pheromones, has been a promising technology that aims to reduce the deleterious effects of insecticides on the agroecosystem. Given these possibilities, the objectives of this work were: (i) to carry out an ERI based on the main insecticides used to control lepidopteran pests in the state of Mato Grosso; (ii) to evaluate in the field experimental formulations of the sex pheromone of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), one of the main agricultural pests in the country. Data on the amount of insecticides consumed were collected from the Instituto de Defesa Agropecuária de Mato Grosso (INDEA) and their physicochemical characteristics were obtained from the Pesticide Properties Database (PPDB) of the University of Hertfordshire and from the Pesticide Properties Database (PPD) of the US Department of Agriculture. The ERI parameters used were: soil persistence, leaching, volatility, toxicological profile and recommended dose. Regarding the evaluation of the pheromone, field tests were carried out in soybean, corn and cotton crops during the 2020/21 harvest. Five treatments were evaluated, being two experimental formulations (F1 and F2), one commercial formulation (FC), virgin females as a positive control (CP) and hexane as a negative control (NC). The main insecticides used to control pests in Mato Grosso which had a total of 20,249,521.90 kg of active ingredients (a.i.), in which the main ones were ordered in descending order of environmental risk: malathion > methoxyfenozide > chloranthraniliprole > flubendiamide≥ beta-cyfluthrin> lufenuron≥ methomyl≥ bifenthrin> lambda-cyhalothrin≥ alpha-cypermethrin ≥ cyantraniliprole≥ permethrin≥ chlorfenapyr≥ chlopyrifos≥ profenofos≥ thiodicarb> indoxacarb≥ zeta-cypermethrin≥ cypermethrin≥ teflubenzuron≥ spinetoram> triflumuron≥ acefate. This last insecticide, despite being moderately toxic to animal life, had the lowest ERI due to low persistence, leaching and volatility. In general, all substances showed medium to very high toxicity levels, which is a worrying factor if they reach non-target populations, such as bees, fish and birds. As for the pheromone evaluations, the average capture in the soybean crop of F1 (26.86), F2 (19.14) and CP (30.6) did not differ from one another but differed from FC (41.66) and of CN (0.66) (p<0.5). In corn there was no statistical difference between the means collected in F1 (28.90), F2 (28.55), CP (30.75) and FC (25.05) (p>0.5). On the other hand, in cotton, F1 (6.95) and F2 (6.89) did not differ from each other, but differed from CP (19.60), FC (16.27) and CN (0.22) (p< 0.5). Considering the results presented, it is expected that the ERI contributes to risk management and decision making that cause less environmental impact. Added to this tool, the experimental formulations have the potential to be used in the monitoring of S. frugiperda, especially in soybean and corn crops, as they can indicate the most opportune moment to introduce control measures, aiming at optimizing management effectiveness.

Soybean is an oilseed with numerous consumption purposes, such as oil, milk, cheese, among others, becoming one of the main foodstuffs for Brazilian families as it is directly interconnected with the country's economy, this oilseed is extremely rich in protein, serving also for the elaboration of bran and animal feed. However, the expansion of this grain crop in Brazil has led to the increase of several pests, especially the brown stink bug, Euschistus heros F. This insect poses risks to crops as it affects the crop at various stages of development, mainly compromising the formation of pods, which causes losses of up to 30% in the productive capacity or even in the progress of the seeds. From this issue, the objective was: 1) to investigate the action of plant-based phytoinsecticides from the Piperaceae family as a possible alternative for the control of the brown bug; The bioassays were carried out in the laboratories of the Center for Agro-Environmental Research, Studies and Development (CPEDA) of the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT), Professor Eugênio Carlos Stieler University Campus, and chromatography was carried out at the Natural Products and Ecology Laboratory Chemistry (LAPNEQ) of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). In the experiments, essential oils obtained from the leaves of three species of Piperaceae (Piper hispidum Sw., Piper marginatum L. and Piper aff. divaricatum G. Mey.) were tested. The leaves were dried in a forced air ow oven at 40 °C and ground until reaching low granulometry. The plant material obtained was extracted by hydrodistillation and water vapor dragging using the Clevenger apparatus for four hours. For the insecticide bioassays, eggs of the stink bug E. heros from farms established in the laboratory were used. Five different concentrations of essential oils of the three species of Piper (0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0% and 4.0%) and two control treatments, one with water and the other only, were tested. with acetone solvent, on pest eggs. All tests were kept in a BOD air-conditioned chamber at 25 ± 1°C, 14 hours photophase and 70% RH. It was observed that the three species studied showed insecticidal effects on brown stink bug eggs and lethal effect on hatched nymphs. Piper marginatum stood out among the plants studied, as it caused high inviability of pest eggs. 2) The second chapter evaluated the phytoinsecticide effect of essential oils from three species of the Piperacea family, on immature T. podisi. Bioassays were carried out before and after parasitism, with seven treatments and 10 repetitions each, in a completely randomized design. The treatments were two controls (distilled water T1 and acetone T2) and five different concentrations of essential oils of each species of Piper (0.25%T3, 0.5%T4, 1.0%T5, 2.0%T6 and 4.0%T7). It can be seen that the pre-parasitism experiment resulted in less emergence of parasitoids, compared to controls, as well as influenced the sex ratio; Unlike the post-parasitism experiment, with the exception of treatments T6 and T7 in which no parasitoid emergence was verified, for the three species of Piper surveyed, there was a decrease in the birth of T. podisi, however it did not affect the sex ratio. Presenting itself as a promising alternative as a low environmental impact phytoinsecticide.

Pineapple is a much appreciated fruit and has been standing out among several fruit trees grown throughout the country. Pineapple consumption is almost 60% in natura, and it is estimated that in the months of October to March it is the one with the highest consumption, in relation to the other months. For fresh consumption, it is essential that the fruit has an adequate size and characteristics such as sweetness for the consumer, where it will consequently achieve better prices on the market. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the occurrence of natural and artificial induction on the characteristics of three pineapple cultivars and to verify the behavior of eight cultivars against the cold, in order to identify a more tolerant cultivar to the induction of natural flowering. The experiment was carried out in the fruit growing experimental area of the State University of Mato Grosso - Unemat, in Tangará da Serra - MT. In both experiments, the design used was randomized blocks. In experiment 1 it was a 3x2 factorial (cultivars x flowering induction), and the evaluated cultivars were Pérola, Jupi and Gigante de Tarauacá. And for experiment two, the cultivars Pérola, BRS Imperial, Jupi, BRS Vitória, Smooth Cayenne, IAC Fantástico, BRS Ajubá and Gigante de Tarauacá were evaluated. The cultivars were left to induce naturally, being evaluated weekly from May to September 2019. In experiment one, for the vegetative characteristics leaf width D and number of active leaves, there was a significant difference at 1% probability and for plant height and leaf length D, there was a significant difference at 5% probability. In experiment two, the cultivars showed a difference for the percentage of naturally induced plants (PPI). The cultivars BRS Imperial and Smooth Cayenne had 0% of induced plants and the cultivar IAC Fantástico had 9%, while the cultivars BRS Ajubá and BRS Vitória had 32 and 31% of induced plants respectively and the cultivars Gigante de Tarauacá, Jupi and Pérola had 100% of the plants naturally induced. It is concluded that with the plant at the proper size, natural flowering does not reduce fruit size and the cultivars Smooth Cayenne, BRS Imperial and IAC Fantástico were tolerant to natural induction of flowering.

The complexity of rearing structures is one of the main problems for biofactories and laboratories, because some entomopathogenic microorganisms such as spodoptera virus frugiperda multiple nucleopolyherovirus (SfMNPV) have as specific host only Caterpillars S. frugiperda, hindering the mass production of this biological agent "in vivo". Thus, the objective was to evaluate the in vivo production method of SfMNPV in S. frugiperda within modular structures, based on the preparation of a practical structure that met an average property of cereal cultivation in the state of Mato Grosso. The objective was to establish the best structural configuration, as well as quantify operational expenses and the feasibility of costs and processes. For this, modular structures were developed in containers for the production of caterpillars. Each container is the size of 06 meters (20 feet), with eight shelves of 100 x 40cm with individualized lighting between the divisions, for the creation of S. frugiperda, which holds cages for moths and plastic containers with artificial diet for caterpillars or for the allocation of caterpillars contaminated with the virus. Aiming at maintaining temperature (25°C), humidity (60%) and photophase (12 h), an automated control system was installed in each container working indefinitely for the setting of S. frugiperda. It was possible to achieve the maximum production within the rearing unit, with operational work of four people with a workload of 40 hours per week, an accumulated of about 55,000 individualized caterpillars, which were subsequently sent to the contamination unit, where they were contaminated at ages of 7.10,11 and 12 days, evaluating the best productive index by weight and quantifying the need for caterpillars necessary for the formulation of a commercial dose. The research demonstrated the best productivity contaminating caterpillars of 10 days of age resulting in a price of R$ 8.85 per dose for application per hectare, providing about 120000 doses per year for application, within the modulated modular structure, taking into account doses according to baculovirus assets already used commercially and approved by the ministries of agriculture,  for the control of S. frugiperda.    

Public policies are important tools used by the State to develop plans and actions that will guarantee rights and improvements for society. In this sense, the objective of this study was to identify which public policies were developed to benefit the road infrastructure sector in the state of Mato Grosso. The research is qualitative of the bibliographical-documentary type, with a time frame of 2002 to 2022. It was concluded that there are no specific public policies aimed exclusively at benefiting the state's road infrastructure; what was found were some programs that ensure a contribution to the development, reform and maintenance of this sector, such as Fethab.

The objective of the research is to evaluate the economic viability of the cultivation of sour passion fruit including the value of the water resource in a rural property in Tangará da Serra - MT, and as specific objectives, to estimate the cost of water use in irrigation, to raise the conventional costs and revenues, and develop cash flows through scenarios. The data were collected in loco, monthly and submitted to the Net Present Value (NPV) analysis tools; Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Time of Return on Capital (Payback) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (ACB). The project proved to be viable from an economic point of view, as it had a positive NPV and an IRR above the required TMA. In scenario two, when the cost of water is included, the indicators showed negligible differences.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) is one of the most demanded fruit vegetables in the world, its demand is related to its low caloric content, freshness and nutritional properties, in addition to being a source of several functional compounds such as vitamin C, lycopene, flavonoids, among others. . However, these compounds may vary according to the cultivated genotype, pulp color and part of the evaluated fruit. Thus, the objective was to analyze the physicochemical attributes, functional compounds and antioxidant activity of different parts of the pulps of the fruits of mini watermelon hybrids. For this purpose, three different parts of mini watermelon fruits (1- central pulp endocarp, 2- distal pulp endocarp and 3- mesocarp between the rind) of mini watermelon hybrids 'Smile', 'Champagne', 'Sharoline' and 'Fenway'. The parameters evaluated were: soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, ratio, levels of vitamin C, lycopene, β-carotene, flavonoids, phenolic and total phenolic acids and the antioxidant potential through different methods - scavenging of radicals ABTS, DPPH and reducing power of iron-FRAP. Among the mini watermelon hybrids evaluated, 'Smile' had the highest content of soluble solids. On the other hand, 'Sharoline' and 'Champagne' presented higher levels of vitamin C. 'Smile' and 'Sharoline' presented the best results regarding the content of functional compounds, having higher levels of lycopene, β-carotene, flavonoids, phenolic and total phenolic acids. , giving them good results of antioxidant activity. 'Champagne' stood out due to the good results in vitamin C, phenolic and total phenolic acids and antioxidant activity and due to its yellowish pulp, it had low lycopene contents, which combined with its flavor makes it a differentiated mini watermelon option. The central endocarp is the part of the fruit with the highest concentration of functional compounds and antioxidant activity. In the distal endocarp, there is a high concentration of carotenoids in the Smile and Champagne hybrids, and the mesocarp has a high concentration of phenolic compounds, which can be consumed or even used in agribusiness.

Agricultural and livestock activities carried out in the Amazon region have been criticized in recent years, and the pressure for a production system that is less impactful to the environment is constantly growing. Many ranchers in northern Mato Grosso have faced serious problems with the degradation of pastures, causing large productivity losses. It is estimated that around 50% of Brazilian pastures are degraded, reducing productivity and animal support capacity, and consequentre placement of forage plants by invasive plants. The degree of competition and interference of invasive plants is related to the morphological and physiological characteristics of the weed community. In this scenario, many ranchers opt for the complete reform of the pasture, replacing the forage species, without first performing a complete and efficient diagnosis of the area and then applying the necessary control methods and the proper corrections of soil fertility, which ends up continuing the degradation processes. Therefore, performing an accurate diagnosis of the area, evaluating the levels of degradation and defining strategies for the recovery of degraded areas is fundamental for the advancement of a concise, efficient and sustainable system. To evaluate the initial weed and forage weeds in the initial phase of the crop at three levels of soil fertility. And to evaluate the selectivity and efficiency of pre-emergent herbicide control in pasture. Article 1 aimed to study the relationship of productive interference caused by the forest competition between the weed species Paspalum virgatum L. (grass - razor) and the forage species Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça, in three different levels of soil fertility. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the University Campus of Alta Floresta - UNEMAT, with the substitute series methodology, with three levels of soil fertility, thus composing a 5x3 factorial scheme. The variables were evaluated at 60 DAE, being plant height, number of byes, and shoot dry mass. The data were analyzed using the graphical analysis method, constructing diagrams based on yields or relative and total variations. The competitiveness indexes, grouping coefficient and relative aggressiveness were also determined. This article describes the results of interference of the initial forest competition on the different levels of soil fertility. Article 2 was conducted in a rural property in Alta Floresta - MT, with the objective of evaluating the weed control efficiency of the herbicide atrazine, applied in pre-emergence on the initial pasture formation of the species Panicum maximum cv. Massai. The experimental design used was in ranges, with factorial 8 x 2 with three replications, being 48 plots of 5 x 6 m, where the treatments consisted of eight doses of the herbicide atrazine applied in pre-emergence in two planting systems, no-go and conventional. The variables were analyzed at 60 DAA, which were the presence of phytotoxicity, DM accumulation and height of Massai grass plants, and visual evaluation of weed control efficiency. The data were submitted to variance analysis with application of the F test. In this article, the results and discussions about herbicide control efficiency in initial pasture formation are described.

The central question of this research was to analyze the physical-chemical data of water quality in the Jauquara

River Basin (BHRJ) for water use in irrigation and for human consumption, verifying that they are within the limits

established by the literature. To this end, methodological strategies were adopted to be applied at 21 BHRJ collection

points using the variables of Hydrogenionic Potential (pH), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Chloride (Cl-),

Calcium (Ca2 +), Magnesium (Mg2 +), Potassium (K +), Sodium (Na +), Hardness (Dur), Bicarbonate (HCO3-),

Phosphorus (P), Nitrogen (N) and Dissolved Oxygen (OD). Some of these variables were used to calculate the water

quality indexes for irrigation, such as: the Kelly Index (IK), the Percentage of Soluble Sodium (PSS), the Hardness

expressed in French Hydrotimetric Degrees (GHF), the Index of Permeability (IP), Magnesium Adsorption Ratio (RAMg)

and Sodium Adsorption Ratio (RAS), and the classifications of these ratios were based on the existing literature. While

the acceptable data for human consumption will be evaluated by Annex XX of Consolidation Ordinance n. 05 from the

Ministry of Health. The statistical techniques used were the average, the maximum and minimum values, normality

test by the Shapiro-Wilk methods and the Chi square test (X2) and multivariate analysis, namely Cluster Analysis

( AA) and Factor Analysis / Principal Component Analysis (AF / ACP). The results referring to the general analysis

of BHRJ, reveal that AA has three predominant groups, and that of ACP three Main Components, in which the

highlighted element were HCO3-, Ca 2+, Mg2 +, Dur and CE both in the dry and in the dry season. in the rain.

In the irrigation analyzes, he observes that the means that had changes were in the variables K +, pH and RAMg,

in addition to presenting low and medium risk of salinity (C1-C2) and low sodicity (S1). Therefore, this research is

partially concluded that contamination of BHRJ is given by a set of environmental factors, whether these activities

are anthropic and / or the dissolution of rock ions in water bodies.

Ecotones are important tools for conservation as they protect components from different ecosystems, contributing to regional diversification. In this study we analyzed:

1) the composition, richness and abundance of anurans in the ecoregion of Chiquitano Dry Forest, southwest of the state of Mato Grosso and, 2) the responses of anurans in face of the effects of edge and matrix in a fragmented landscape. Data collections occurred in 21 forest fragments in the years 2002 to 2004 in the rainy and dry season, with 10-day campaigns in each fragment. In each fragment, six sets of pitfall traps were installed, with the first being placed in the pasture matrix, the second on the edge and the subsequent four every 50 meters in the fragments. Each set was built with five buried 24-liter buckets, 10 meters apart, interconnected by 80cm-high fences. 839 individuals of 24 species of anurans and eight families were captured. Physalaemus albonotatus (n = 172) and Rhinella margaritifera (n = 114) represented the highest abundances and also the highest frequency indices, occurring in 76.19% (n = 16) of the areas. Leptodactylidae with 13 species was the most representative family, followed by Microhylidae (n = 3 spp.), Bufonidae and Hylidae (n = 2 spp.) and Craugastoridae, Dendrobatidae, Odontophrynidae and Phyllomedusidae with only one species. The wealth represents about 19% of the anurofaunistic diversity of the state of Mato Grosso. The species in this study are mostly common in open phytogeographic domains and with greater environmental plasticity, with the composition of species from the Cerrado, Pantanal and surroundings being more similar than in the Amazon. The intense forest fragmentation in this part of the state may have led to the replacement of species with greater requirements by others with greater plasticity in terms of habitat use. Despite this, species frequently associated with forest environments such as Leptodactylus petersii, Lithodytes lineatus, Osteocephalus taurinus and R. margaritifera have also been recorded. In addition, we recorded species endemic to the Cerrado (Pristimantis dundeei) and this region (Proceratophrys strussmannae), reinforcing the importance of ecotonal areas for species conservation. Also, among the records, we present an updated map and the southernmost record of the geographic distribution of L. lineatus, as well as the use of habitat. To understand the influence of landscape change in this region, we analyzed the composition, richness and abundance of anurans in pasture matrix, edge and forest habitats, considering the seasonal factor (drought and rain). The richness among the habitats did not present significant differences in any analyzed station. Despite this, the matrix held only 6.44% of the total abundance, with an increase in this pattern following the gradient matrix-edge-forest interior during the rainy (R² = 0.27; p = 0.014) and dry season (R² = 0.30; p = 0.005). The lower availability of micro-habitats for shelter and reproduction, as well as higher temperature and lower humidity in the pasture matrix, are possibly responsible for these responses. Therefore, the conversion of native vegetation to pastures can constitute an important threat to anurans, thus requiring a closer look at this region.

The banana stands out as one of the leading fruits in world agricultural production and trade. Brazil is the world's fourth largest producer of this fruit, accounting for about 5.8% of production. However, it is not known how much of this total corresponds to the varieties of the Terra (plane tree) group. In commercial crops the spacing used has been from 3.0 x 4.0 m (833 plants ha-1) to 3.0 x 2.0 m (1,666 plants ha-1). The modification of the management system with high density planting has proved to be profitable, reducing production costs due to higher yields due to the greater number of bunches harvested per unit area, providing favorable results to the farmer. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity, fruit quality and profitability of the banana Farta Velhaco under different planting densities. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of fruit growing at the State University of Mato Grosso - Unemat, in Tangará da Serra - MT. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, with four treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of four double row row spacing, being 4.0x2.0x1.0m (3,333 plants ha-1), 4.0x2.0x1.5m (2,222 plants ha-1), 4.0x2.0x2.0m (1,666 plants ha-1) and 4.0x2.0x2.5m (1,333 plants ha-1). The plants were evaluated in the flowering phase, through the characteristics of plant height, circumference of the pseudostem, number of active leaves, percentage of increase in plant height and circumference of the pseudostem. The phenological characteristics correspond to the duration of the vegetative, productive and total cycle. At harvest, productivity was evaluated and after ripening the clusters, the quality of the fruits. In addition to these characteristics, the production costs and profitability of the banana crop during the entire crop cycle were determined. At flowering, it was found that the planting spacing did not influence the characteristics of the pseudostem circumference, number of active leaves, number of days from planting to flowering, percentage of plant height and pseudostem circumference. It only showed a significant difference for the plant height characteristic, where there was an increase in the height values, as the planting spacing was reduced. Regarding the total cost of production (CTP) estimated for the banana, it was R $ 19,727, 46 (1,333 plants ha-1) to R $ 31,744.66 (3,333 plants ha-1), with the highest CTP values in the denser planting, with 3,333 plants ha-1, thus requiring greater financial investment by the banana grower. However, at this stage of the research there is still no data on bunches production and fruit quality, so there is still no revenue, only costs.

The so-called Local Productive Arrangement (APL) are business organizations that are integrated through the actors involved: producers, customers and government support agencies. The study aimed to analyze the organization of the Local Productive Arrangement of tropical flowers produced in Mato Grosso. The first step was to identify the situation of the local Productive Arrangement, characterizing the actors involved in the APL in the state of Mato Grosso. Following, the tropical flowers produced in the region are described. In this way, the research is characterized as field and documentary. Data were collected from government agencies, tropical flower producers and the IBGE website (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). The APLs are structured in an early stage of development format, since among the actors involved there is no effective integration. Producers receive support from government agencies such as SEAF (State Secretariat for Family Agriculture), EMPAER (Matogrossense Company for Research, Technical Assistance and Rural Extension) and the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT). It is concluded that the production of tropical flowers is promising, since more than 12 qualities of tropical flowers in different species are produced. However, it is necessary to restructure the Tropical Flowers APL so that there is more organization  and that involves specific public policies for the consistent development of APLs and, thus, strengthen the tropical floriculture segment.

The gradual increase in population requires that food production follow this evolution, however, in a sustainable way and in balance with the environment. The research aims to identify the environmental practices of livestock farming in properties in the Municipality of Nova Marilândia MT, and as a specific objective to estimate the costs of building terracing in one of these properties. The research is characterized by the descriptive type, quali-quantitative approach, and used the multi-case strategy. The collection instruments were semi-structured forms, interviews and on-site observation. Four producers who have livestock as their activity took part in the research. Initially, the environmental practices used in the management of livestock were identified, and in one of the properties, terracing was built and costs were raised. It was identified that most properties do not use sustainable environmental practices, however, they do some actions in a partial way and that comply with environmental legislation. Regarding the cost of terracing per km, the cattle-raiser considered it high, however, he stated that he has already noticed changes in the property in relation to pastures that are preserved for longer, reduced erosion and contributed to the conservation of the neighboring roads of the property. Another positive effect was that the property served as a model for other ranchers to start building terracing in their pasture areas.

PRONAF – ECO/Bioenergia goes beyond the simple cost of crops, this line of the credit program seeks to establish improvements in the way of life of farmers and their families, constant improvements, enabling it to stay in the field permanently, contributing to the country's food security (ANDRADE, 2015) working in harmony with nature and reducing the rural exodus, avoiding the increase in land concentration (WANDERLEY, 2000a). To do so, family farmers need access to these credit lines, and it is at this point that the proposal of this research follows

Invasions of exotic species in Brazil are one of the factors that most negatively impacts biodiversity. Its existence generates threats and conflicts with native species, causing biological losses to the ecosystem. The Pantanal is one of the Brazilian biomes most threatened by the presence of exotic species in its aquatic ecosystems. In order to monitor biodiversity and use of the fishing resource, the Brazilian government has implemented a control system that uses the Declaration of Individual Fishing (DIFs), in the which each fisherman informs the species caught, the quantity (units and kilos), the locations and baits used. This study aims to investigate the occurrences of invasive fish species, reported in DIFs, and their possible environmental and socioeconomic effects in the region of the municipality of Cáceres in the Paraguay River Basin. In all, 4002 DIFs were evaluated from the years 2019 to 2020. Of the 35 species of fish registered, 10 are exotic (originating in the Amazon basin) were registered in 40 locations, totaling 6,410 kg. However, of the 10 species, only Tucunaré, had already been registered by researchers in the region. Our results indicate the need for actions to confirm the actual occurrence of these reported species and point to two possible scenarios: 1) If the occurrences are confirmed, monitoring, study of impacts on native species, management strategies and evaluation of the economic potential for tourist marketing and fishing. 2) If the records are errors in the IPR records, it is necessary to improve the system used and offer training so that fishermen fill out the guides correctly.

The search on hunger and its relations with public policies it´s essential for the evaluation of public policies already existing whose objective be it the figth against hunger and the eradication of poverty, and for planning for continuity or implementation of new public policies to fight hunger and poverty. The objective general of that search is the discussion about the insertion of public policies as a strategy for combat food and nutritional insecurity, doing a cutout about the policies of Food Purchase Program (PAA), National School Feeding Program (PNAE) and Family Scholarship Program (PBF). Were lifted dice bibliographic about the programs through of search in literature existing and sites of federal government, whit objective of discourse widely since the creation about each one of the programs and your objectives. Out Chosen for data analysis the county for Tangara da Serra-MT, the county lies in region north of State of Mato Grosso, and is known like the capital of the Middle North, with population of 101.764 population (IBGE, 2018). The economy of county is based in the provision of services, industry and agriculture, with spotlight for production of soy and sugar cane, too it has strong production in family farming. Were analyzed data on National School Feeding Program (PNAE) in the period for 05 (five) years, with the objective of show the cost student for the program and the impacts and benefits that the program brings while public policy for the coping the food and nutritional insecurity, ensuring the children for public basic education network in county at least 01( one) daily meal. The Food Purchase Program (PAA) were analyzed data of Conab (National Supply Company) and your impacts in coping the food and nutritional insecurity of brazilian farmers, with the fortification of family farming through for income generation. The data on Family Scholarship Program (PBF) were collected in the system of registrations for access to social programs from the federal government “CADÚnico” and in municipal secretary of social assistance for county Tangara da Serra - MT. The datas were treated by families, and categories related the environment in which the family reside, the classification was in urban, rural, camped and indigenous. The present study evidenced the importance of public policies in fighting hunger and your contribution for the eradication of poverty, programs that encourage income generation like PAA, contribute significantly in food and nutrition security in country, multiplely, for both beneficiaries suppliers as for beneficiaries of assistance programs. Programs of income transfer like the PBF go beyond from economic impacts, through of the increase income of beneficiary families generates the fortification the internal market, and too social impacts, like social inclusion, upon feeling belonging at various levels of discussion. And programs like PNAE ensure the children the right access the feeding, right this basilar of the article 6º of Constituion of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988. Expected with this study contribute for evaluation of these programs like strategy important of public policy for coping to food and nutritional insecurity in Brazil. 

The objective was to investigate the scientific evidence on health risks and diseases that affect farmers and to analyze how meteorological variability can influence hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. An integrative literature review was carried out by consulting the electronic databases SciELO and Virtual Health Library indexed in the databases LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and IBECS. In the study of climatic variability and hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in the municipality of Tangará da Serra - MT, data from meteorological elements were collected on the website of the National Meteorological Institute (INMET) and information on diseases on the website of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), considering the period from 2008 to 2018. In respiratory diseases, all age groups, children from 0 to 9 years old and elderly people over 60 years were included; in cardiovascular, all age groups and elderly people over 60 years were applied. An analysis of the 11-year period (2008-2018) and each year was carried out separately. Pearson's parametric correlation test (r) was used, the correlations were submitted to significance analysis by Student's t test. In the review, five categories emerged, namely: health risks arising from the use and exposure to pesticides, health implications arising from tobacco farming, implications for mental health, health risks arising from extractive activities and illness of the farmer resulting from different exposures in the rural work. The risks to the farmer's health are comprehensive, according to the configuration of the work. As for the association between meteorological variables and hospitalizations for respiratory diseases, in the annual analysis significant correlations were found including all age groups, in the years 2008 and 2015 with coefficients between (r = -0.74) and (r = 0.69 ), with a significant association of moderate to strong, with the variables that most influence the number of hospitalizations being the temperature (minimum, maximum and average) and relative humidity (minimum and average); with children, correlations were also obtained in the years 2008 and 2015, with coefficients between (r = -0.77) and (r = 0.63), the variables that most influence the number of cases are: precipitation, temperature (minimum, average and maximum) and minimum relative humidity, with moderate to strong associations; with elderly people, correlations were found in the years 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2016, with coefficients between (r = -0.84) and (r = 0.70), with moderate to strong correlations, with the temperature (minimum , average and maximum), relative humidity (minimum, average and maximum) and precipitation, the variables that most influence the number of hospitalizations. With cardiovascular diseases, including all age groups, in 2008, 2012 and 2015 significant correlations were obtained with coefficients between (r = -0.65) and (r = 0.73), with significant associations being moderate to strong , so that the variables precipitation, temperature (average and maximum) are those that most influence the number of hospitalizations; with elderly people, correlations were found in the years 2008, 2009, 2012 and 2015 with thermal amplitude, minimum and average relative humidity, maximum and average temperature and precipitation, with moderate correlation strength, with coefficients between (r = -0.64) and (r = 0.64). The results demonstrate that the variability of meteorological elements also influences the increase or decrease in the number of hospitalizations for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
