• Abstract

  According to IBGE (2010), the sugar cane is the first national agricultural product considering the amount produced, and it is the predominant crop in Sao Paulo state. The indiscriminate use of insecticides and other xenobiotic substances in this culture is an issue of great concern, since their effects are caused both financial and environmental losses, primarily related to non-target or…

• Abstract

  The vinasse is a major waste resulting from the processing of sugarcane into ethanol and, because of the volume generated, researchers are seeking an appropriate destination for this effluent. As an alternative to its reuse, fertigation in sugarcane crop is the most used. However, its increasing use as fertilizer has generated great concern due to the adverse effects observed. In this sen…

  Assessment of toxic potential of phytoremediated vinasse using the fat body of Rhinocricus padbergi (Diplopoda), BP.IC

• Abstract

  Brazil is the world's largest ethanol producer and the state of São Paulo stands out with about 50% of this production. For every liter of ethanol produced are generated 15 liters of vinasse as waste. The stillage has acid pH, large organic load and loads of metals, making it an excellent fertilizer, but with great potential polluter facing high amount produced. In recent decades, the res…

• Abstract

  The vinasse orange, produced from the orange bagasse, even as the vinasse byproduct of alcohol production has been used as fertigation in areas cultivated with sugarcane. However, the increased use as fertilizer has caused problems, especially environmental. Studies have demonstrated that this practice has caused soil salinization (Christofoletti with. Comm.). Environmental effects of the…

• Abstract

  Water is an essential factor for the maintenance of vital functions of living beings. Have been seen an increasing impairment of quality of this resource, due to pollution from many sources and even entire watersheds, either by industrial waste, sewage, or, for substances used in agriculture, such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. The vinasse, a byproduct of ethanol production fr…
