Coberturas mortas de inverno e controle químico sobre plantas daninhas na cultura do milho

A escolha correta das culturas para cobertura do solo melhora a sustentabilidade do sistema de cultivo, pois pode potencializar o uso dos herbicidas, reduzir a infestacao de plantas daninhas e melhorar o desempenho das culturas. Com o objetivo de estudar o efeito de coberturas mortas de inverno e do uso de herbicidas sobre comunidade de plantas daninhas na cultura do milho, foi realizado um estudo no delineamento inteiramente casualizado com os tratamentos dispostos em parcelas subdivididas, com quatro repeticoes. As parcelas, em numero de seis, foram compostas pelas seguintes culturas de inverno: Lupinus albus, Lathyrus sativos, Triticum aestivum, Avena strigosa, Raphanus sativus, mais uma testemunha mantida em pousio. As subparcelas em numero de tres, foram compostas por: 1 - pulverizacao apenas de herbicida de manejo antes da semeadura do milho; 2 - herbicida de manejo apos a semeadura do milho + herbicida residual, e 3 - testemunha sem aplicacao de herbicidas. As coberturas mortas de aveia-preta e nabo-forrageiro proporcionam as menores densidades de plantas daninhas e acumulos de massa seca da comunidade infestante, independente da aplicacao ou nao de herbicidas. Houve uma maior germinacao de B. pilosa nas parcelas mantidas com a cobertura de tremoco, com excecao das subparcelas onde se aplicou herbicida em pre-emergencia, o que evidencia um efeito estimulante da cobertura morta. O emprego de algumas especies na formacao da cobertura morta para o plantio direto pode dispensar ou reduzir a quantidade de herbicidas necessaria para o controle das plantas daninhas.

SELETIVIDADE DO SAFLUFENACIL ISOLADO E EM ASSOCIAÇÃO COM GLYPHOSATE EM CULTURAS DE CAFÉ E CITROS

Saflufenacil is absorbed by the plant leaves and roots, thus the residual permanence of this herbicide can cause losses to the crop plants. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the selectivity of the saflufenacil herbicide, applied singly and in combination with glyphosate, on coffee and citrus plants grown in a sandy soil. Two experiments were implemented and conducted in completely randomized design with four replications. The chemical treatments consisted of three sequential applications, with directed spraying of saflufenacil at rates of 0.035, 0.07 and 0.105 kg a.i. ha, glyphosate at rate of 2.160 kg a.e. ha, the two herbicides combined at the same rates, and a control without chemical treatment. The saflufenacil applied singly and in combination with glyphosate was selective for coffee and citrus plants, which presented no visual toxicity symptoms. The sequential application of saflufenacil, singly and in combination with glyphosate did not affect the growth of coffee and citrus plants. The saflufenacil has potential for use, in combination with glyphosate on controlling many weed species in coffee and citrus areas without any interference on the development of these species.

Action of rain on formulations of glyphosate mixed with saflufenacil for the control of Brachiaria decumbens

Arq. Inst. Biol., v.84, 1-8, e0172015, 2017 RESUMO: O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a ocorrência de chuvas na eficiência de diferentes formulações de glyphosate aplicadas de forma isolada e em mistura com o saflufenacil, sobre o controle de Brachiaria decumbens. O estudo foi realizado no primeiro semestre de 2013. Os tratamentos constaram da aplicação isolada de três formulações de glyphosate (Roundup Original, Roundup Transorb R e Roundup WG) a 1.080 g e.a. ha-1 e em mistura com o saflufenacil a 24,5 g i.a. ha-1 + Dash a 0,5% v/v e, seis intervalos de tempo para simulação da chuva: 15; 30; 60; 120; 240 e 360 minutos após a aplicação dos herbicidas e uma testemunha sem chuva. Foram realizadas avaliações visuais de controle das plantas aos 4; 7; 14; 21 e 28 dias após a aplicação dos herbicidas. A mistura de saflufenacil + Dash às formulações de Roundup original, Roundup transorb R e Roundup WG aumentaram a velocidade de controle das plantas de B. decumbens, independente do intervalo de chuva estudado. As formulações de glyphosate (Roundup Transorb R e Roundup WG) aplicados isolados foram afetadas por chuvas que ocorreram logo após a pulverização e quando em mistura com saflufenacil + Dash observou-se efeito sinérgico no controle das plantas daninhas.

Interference of a weed community in the soybean crop in functions of sowing spacing

The use of double row spacing on soybean crop is recent and consists of a new soybean production technology in Brazil and worldwide, so weed interference may be different in relation to single crop row. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the weed interference in soybean crop in function of sowing spacing. The experimental design was randomized blocks and treatments were arranged in a factorial (2x16): two spacings, a double row spacing [(0.20 x 0.20m) x 0.67 m] and a conventional single row spacing (0.45 x 0.45m) and sixteen periods of weed management, being eight control periods in which soybean was kept free of weeds by increasing periods of 7; 14; 21; 28; 35; 42; 49 and 145 days after emergence and eight coexistence periods, when the crop was maintained in the presence of the weed community for the same periods. The Critical Timing of Weed Removal (CTWR) was lower in the double row spacing, with eight days, compared with single spacing that was of 18 days. The Critical Weed-Free Period (CWFP) was of 36 and 31 days for double and single row spacing, respectively, and the emergence of weeds after this period did not cause damage to the productivity, but the Critical Period of Weed Control (CPWC) was higher in double row spacing (28 days) compared to the single row, which was of 13 days. The spacing in double row had a higher grain yield than the spacing in single row.

Seletividade inicial de herbicidas aplicados em pós-emergência da crotalária

Among the practices that aim to confer sustainability of the agricultural soil, the use of green manure and/or cover crops such as crotalaria are advocated. The management of weeds is one of the practices for the success of crotalaria. However, the information about the selectivity of herbicide are scarce and these are of paramount importance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the selectivity of different herbicides applied in post-emergence of showy crotalaria ( Crotalaria spectabilis ). Two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse in a randomized completely randomized design with four replications. In the first one the following herbicides were tested. The first experiment involved the following herbicides (g. i.a.ha -1 ): atrazine (500 and 1000), bentazon (720), carfentrazone-ethyl (3.75), clomazone (400), diclosulam (20), diuron (800), ethoxysulfuron (18), flumioxazin (10), mesotrione (60), oxadiazon (500), tembotrione (40), atrazine + flumioxazin + carfentrazone-ethyl (300 + 5 + 2), and a control without application. In the second were used, bentazon (400), clomazone (400), diclosulam (10 and 15), diuron (400), ethoxysulfuron (15), bentazon + diclosulam (200 + 7.5), diclosulam + diuron (7.5 + 200), bentazon + diuron (200 + 200) and a control without application. Phytotoxicity was evaluated at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after application (DAA) and aerial dry matter (ADM) at 28 DAA. In both experiments the herbicides bentazon, clomazone, diclosulam and ethoxysulfuron caused low injuries to the crop and low reduction in ADM. The herbicides atrazine, mesotrione, oxadiazon and atrazine + flumioxazin + carfentrazone-ethyl provided high levels of injuries and high reduction in ADM. The herbicides bentazon, clomazone, diclosulam and ethoxysulfuron were selectivity for post-emergence application of the crop.
