Levantamento florístico de interesse apícola no CCHSA/UFPB

2025-12-24T06:14:55Z

Título: Levantamento florístico de interesse apícola no CCHSA/UFPB Autor(es): Santos, Jeronimo Gustavo Araújo dos Orientador: Silva, Maurizete da Cruz Abstract: Apiculture, an agricultural activity characterized by low environmental impact and high profitability, depends on the availability of floral resources for the sustainability of production, making essential the knowledge of local vegetation to optimize hive management and reduce artificial feeding. The present study aims to conduct a floristic survey of the arboreal and shrubby apicultural pasture in an area destined for the implementation of a model apiary at the Center for Human, Social, and Agrarian Sciences (CCHSA/UFPB), located in Bananeiras-PB. The research, conducted between August and December 2024, involved the identification of species in six sample plots, evaluating 331 plant individuals distributed across 21 families and 49 botanical species. The most representative families were Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Apocynaceae, and Anacardiaceae. The species Talisia esculenta stood out for the highest abundance, followed by Xylopia sericea and Vismia guianensis. The ten most abundant species, corresponding to 61% of the sampled individuals, mainly provide pollen to bees, with 40% of them also offering nectar. The results demonstrate the significant potential of the area for apicultural production, especially for pollen-based products such as propolis and royal jelly, supported by the annual distribution of floral resources. It is concluded that the vegetation surrounding the model apiary presents ecological and productive relevance, and it is necessary to deepen studies on the phenology of the species and plant-bee interactions in order to ensure greater precision in understanding the local api-flora and favor the traceability of apicultural products.

Extensão universitária e caprinocultura leiteira na Paraíba: Sistematização de experiências metodológicas

Título: Extensão universitária e caprinocultura leiteira na Paraíba: Sistematização de experiências metodológicas Autor(es): Figueiredo, Mateus Caldeira Orientador: Rangel, Izabela Souza Lopes Abstract: Dairy goat farming in Paraíba holds a prominent national position and is a strategic activity for the family farming sector in the semi-arid region, although it faces limitations in technical assistance and producer training. In this context, university extension connects academic knowledge with local wisdom. This study aimed to systematize methodological experiences from extension projects between 2022 and 2025 at UFPB's Campus III, focusing on the training of goat milk producers in Paraíba. The methodology used was Holiday’s experience systematization method, which helped identify relevant learnings through the analysis of project proposals and final reports. The empirical material included institutional documents analyzed using Bardin's thematic content analysis technique. The results reveal a similar methodological pattern with common stages: defining locations and institutional partnerships, prior training of students, field diagnosis, development of teaching materials, and producer training. Challenges were identified in three areas: methodological (lack of continuous evaluation and a database), structural (property and logistical limitations), and relational (dependence on intermediary institutions). Based on these findings, guidelines are proposed for future extension actions, such as continuous evaluation protocols, adaptive schedules, active methodologies, and formalizing the integration of local knowledge. These recommendations, aligned with the principles of popular education and dialogical extension, aim to strengthen extension activities in dairy goat farming in the region.

Efeito de dietas à base de amendoim e soja sobre a mosca-das-frutas (Ceratitis capitata) (Wied., 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Título: Efeito de dietas à base de amendoim e soja sobre a mosca-das-frutas (Ceratitis capitata) (Wied., 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae) Autor(es): Cavalcante, Maria Beatriz Lima Orientador: Medeiros, Marcos Barros de Abstract: The Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) is a pest of economic importance, and its mass rearing requires efficient and low-cost artificial diets. This study evaluated the effect of diets with alternative protein sources (peanut and soy extract) on the larval and immature stage viability of C. capitata, compared to the control diet with brewer's yeast. The experiment was conducted at the Phytosanitary Clinic of CCHSA-UFPB, Bananeiras-PB, in a completely randomized design with three treatments and four replications. Fifty larvae were inoculated in 20 g of diet per replication, with evaluations after 12 days (pupal formation) and 20 days (adult emergence). Non-parametric statistical analysis (Kruskal-Wallis) revealed significant differences (p<0.05) in larval viability (T1: 53.5% ± 28.5; T2: 0% ± 0; T3: 19% ± 14.8) and pupal viability (T1: 81.5% ± 11.3; T2: 0% ± 0; T3: 67.1% ± 39.3). The peanut diet resulted in 100% larval mortality, while soy showed intermediate viability. The results indicate that soy extract may be a partial alternative to yeast, but peanut is unsuitable, possibly due to antinutritional factors. Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: TCC

USO DO MESMIS NA AVALIAÇÃO DA SUSTENTABILIDADE DO ASSENTAMENTO FLORESTAN FERNANDES EM PILÕES-PB

Título: USO DO MESMIS NA AVALIAÇÃO DA SUSTENTABILIDADE DO ASSENTAMENTO FLORESTAN FERNANDES EM PILÕES-PB Autor(es): Flores, Suellen Silva Orientador: Rangel, Izabela Souza Lopes Abstract: Rural settlements are land previously considered non-productive. And to assess the sustainability of these family agroecosystems, it is essential to employ indicatorsthat help measure performance and identify any problems to be solved. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the sustainability of the Florestan Fernandes Settlement, located in Pilões, PB. Using the MESMIS methodology (Framework for the Evaluation of Natural Resource Management Systems Incorporating Sustainability Indicators), 12 families were interviewed through a semi-structured questionnaire containing 31 indicators distributed in three dimensions: environmental; social; and economic. The results showedthat all the evaluated settlements presented regular levels of sustainability. The study highlights the importance of implementing interventions to facilitate the agroecological transition and promote socio-environmental and economic development in the settlement.The MESMIS methodology identifies that the sustainability of the settlement and agroecosystems of Florestan Fernandes, located in Pilões, PB is regular. And it highlights the need for improvements in some indicators for each dimension, especially the economic one, as it becomes a useful tool to identify critical areas and guide action plansadapted to the specific needs of the family agroecosystem.
