Manejo do míldio e ferrugem em videira com indutores de resistência: produtividade e qualidade pós-colheita

Mildew and rust diseases are among the main diseases of the vine crop in Brazil causing great losses in pre- and post-harvest conditions. Studies involving different aspects of induced resistance have been developed with the aim of promoting the reduction of pesticides use in the field. In this research, the effect of elicitors on the control of mildew and rust in vine cultivar Isabel was evaluated. Seven treatments were tested: Citric bioflavonoids (1.5 L ha-1), citric bioflavonoids + potassium phosphite (1.5 L ha-1 + 130 g 100 L-1), potassium phosphite (130 g 100 L-1), control treatment was sprayed with water (T), fungicide (metyran + pyraclostrobin) (2 kg ha-1), aluminum silicate (1%) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1.5 L ha-1), four replications and five plants per replication. The disease indexes were determined using progress curve of disease in grapevine according PIF (Integrated Fruits Production) for four periods (0 to 42 days post pruning - DAP, 43 to 77 DAP, 78 to 129 DAP and 0 to 129 DAP). The yield components and quality aspects were evaluated at 126 DAP. The use of S. cerevisiae and fungicide promoted the highest mildew control. However, the use of S. cerevisiae decreased the yield. No significant effects of the elicitors were observed on rust incidence.
