Análise da rentabilidade, peso e estatura aplicada à produção de aveia branca (Avena sativa L.)

Abstract

Currently we have a wide variety of techniques and technology which more and more improve and facilitate the agricultural production in the most different cultures. Oat is one of these cultures. This cereal has been recognized as an excellent source of fibers with a high protein content and vitamin E, what makes its consume to be increased besides being an important ally in the rotation of cultures in the direct plantation system. Therefore, it is a fact that its cultivation has been increasing. In order to obtain less expenses and work in this process, it is important to research about it. Statistical techniques such as Experimentation allows us to identify better cultivations and treatments to be applied. The objective of this study is to make an analysis of oat production which was done at Sociedade Escola Três de Maio (SETREM) in 2004. Such analysis was ANOVA – Analysis of Variance – in which was observed the differences among nineteen types of cultivations and the use or not of fungicide treatment. The variables evaluated in the culture were: high of the stem, weight of one thousand grains and efficiency. From the results we had a significative difference between the cultivations and the treatments for stature and efficiency. After that, we did tests of minimum significant difference (MSD) to evaluate the differences. We concluded that ANOVA statistical technique was effective in what relates to the agricultural production since it provided the expected results and it can help in the decision make process about the type of cultivation and the fungicide treatment to be chosen.
