| dc.description.abstract | Soybean is one of the most important crops in the world. However, several times the yield is reduced due to diseases as the stem rot (white mold) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which is a several fungal, mainly in areas with low temperatures and high moisture. The disease control, including the use of fungicides, is difficult. Thus, the objective of this study
was to verify the effect of herbicides and foliar fertilizers with potassium phosphite on control of white mold soybean, determining the action of this agrochemicals about the phytoalexin, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase synthesis, and the direct action on the pathogen. For this, the in vitro effect of agrochemicals on the pathogen was evaluated. Also, the induction
was tested in the laboratory by evaluation of phytoalexin synthesis in soybean cotyledons, and POX and SOD enzymes, subjected to the same treatment field. The field trials were conducted in Coronel Domingos Soares – PR, evaluations were made in 2012/2013 crop. A randomized-complete blocks design with 6 treatments and 4 replicates was used. The treatments were: lactofen (0,6 L ha-1 applied in V4), bentazon (1,5 L ha-1 in V4), fluazinam (1
L ha-1 in R1) and two foliar fertilizers called fosfito A (30 p/p % de P2O5 and 20 p/p % de K2O) (3 L ha-1 in V4 + R1) and fosfito B (26 p/p % de P2O5 and 19 p/p % de K2O) (2 L ha-1 in V4 + R1). . The fungicide was the only product that completely inhibited fungal growth in vitro. In the laboratory, the bentazon reached the highest levels of phytoalexin production, but
the foliar fertilizers did not induce the production of the same. Both herbicides and phosphite A had the potential to elicit the production of peroxidase enzyme. In field experiments the herbicides bentazon and lactofen stood out in the control of white mold, being 60.5% and 52.3% respectively, and treatment with the fosfito A provided a control of 37.9%, being superior to the treatment with fungicide. Regarding the grain fields compounds had increase
using the herbicides, but did not differed from the control by Duncan test at 5%. | |
