Leaf application of manganese in genetically modified soybean submitted to glyphosate levels

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da aplicação de glyphosate na soja Roundup Ready® e a produtividade em diferentes doses de manganês aplicado via foliar. O experimento foi realizado na safra 2011/12 no município de Nova Maringá – MT com delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 3 x 4, com quatro repetições. Foram utilizadas três doses de glyphosate (0,0; 0,972 e 1,620 kg i.a. ha-1) e quatro doses de manganês (0,0; 0,350; 0,700 e 1,050 kg ha-1). O glyphosate foi aplicado no estádio fenológico V2 da cultura e as doses de manganês em estádio V8. Os parâmetros analisados foram altura de planta, altura de inserção da primeira vagem, fitomassa verde, fitomassa seca, número de vagens por planta, massa de 1000 grãos e produtividade de grãos. Para altura de inserção da primeira vagem, altura de plantas, massa de 1000 grãos e produtividade de grãos a aplicação de glyphosate e manganês não ocasionaram efeitos expressivos no desenvolvimento da cultivar de soja TMG 133 RR. Os tratamentos com glyphosate e manganês e a interação deles não proporcionaram incrementos de produtividade de grãos na cultivar TMG 133 RR.The aim of this study was to evaluate glyphosate application in Roundup Ready® soybean and yield at different levels of manganese applied by foliar way. The experiment was conducted in 2011/2012 agricultural year in Nova Maringa County, Mato Grosso State, in randomized blocks experimental design, in factorial scheme 3 x 4, with four replications. Three glyphosate levels (0.0; 0.972; 1.620 kg a.i. ha-1) and four manganese levels (0.0; 0.350; 0.700 and 1.050 kg ha-1) were used. Glyphosate was applied at V2 crop growth stage and manganese levels during V8 crop growth stage. Analyzed parameters were plant height, height of first pod insertion, green mass, dry mass, number of pods per plant, mass of 1,000 grains and yield. For height of first pod insertion, plant height, mass of 1,000 grains and yield, glyphosate and manganese applications did not cause significant effects over TMG 133 RR development. Treatments with glyphosate and manganese and its interaction did not provide increased yield in TMG 133 RR genotype

ESTIMATES OF GENETIC PARAMETERS AND SELECTION GAINS TO SCAB RESISTANCE IN SOUR PASSION FRUIT

ABSTRACT Passion fruit stands out as one of the most cultivated fruits in Brazil. As the culture expanded, an increase in phytosanitary problems was observed. Fungal diseases like scab are among phytosanitary problems. The aim of this study was to quantify scab intensity on leaves, and to estimate genetic parameters and selection gains to scab resistance in sour passion fruit full related families (FRF). Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the reaction of FRF, the first period from January to April (environment 1) and the second from May to August 2014 (environment 2). Experiments were conducted in greenhouse. Randomized block design for both experiments with FRF in two seasons was used, with three plants per plot and three repetitions. The evaluated characteristics were: score within 42 days after inoculation (DAI), area under the disease progress curve of severity (AUDPCS) and incidence (AUDPCI). Individual and joint variance trait analyses were carried out, estimating genetic parameters and gains per direct and indirect selection. Heritability estimates in a broad sense were higher than 89.9% for all traits in the individual and joint analysis. Selection gains were high for the evaluated traits in both environments and the greatest genetic progress was obtained by the direct selection in each feature. Of FRF selected, 92% and 36% were classified as moderate for environments 1 and 2, respectively. The highest gains in direct and indirect selection were obtained for AUDPCS in the individual analyses of environments and in the joint analysis. FRF 68, 46, 66, 75, 47, 51, 52, 54 and 77 were moderately resistant, which allows their use in a scab resistance breeding program
