Fungicides for wheat seed treatment

Em 1979, conduziu-se trabalho de campo e de laboratório visando avaliar os efeitos de fungicidas no tratamento de sementes de trigo. Foram testados seis produtos, sendo dois em formulação simples e quatro em formulação associada, em amostras de dois lotes da cultivar CNT 9. Procurou-se trabalhar com fungicidas que apresentassem indicação de atividade sobre Helminthosporium sativum Pam., King. & Bakke. Através de teste de laboratório foi avaliado efeito sobre a ocorrência de fungos na semente. No campo, avaliaram-se efeitos sobre a percentagem de emergência, número de espigas por área e rendimento de grãos. Melhor controle sobre H. sativum na semente foi obtido com Panoctine (Guazatine 40%). A avaliação de stand no campo, efetuada 17 dias após a semeadura, mostrou superioridade dos tratamentos com Cercoran (Metiltiofanato 50% + Thiran 30%), Dithane M-45 (Mancozeb 80%) e Benlate T (Benomyl 20% + Thiran 20%) em relação à testemunha. Uma segunda avaliação, feita 31 dias após a semeadura, confirmou esses resultados apenas para Cercoran e Dethane M-45. O número de espigas por área não apresentou diferenças para sementes tratadas e não-tratadas. Na média dos dois lotes estudados, verificou-se que o tratamento com Cercoran apresentou rendimento superior ao da testemunha não-tratada.A seed treatment trial was conducted at the National Wheat Research Center in Passo Fundo, RS, in 1979, to study the effect of fungicides on the control of seed pathogens of wheat. Two fungicides and four mixtures of fungicides were tested. Two seedlots of the cultivar CNT 9 were used. The fungicides were selected on the basis of their effectiveness against Helminthosporium sativum Pam., King. & Bakke. The occurrence of fungi in the seeds were evaluated by laboratory tests. The percentage of germination in the field, number of heads/unit area and yield were also evaluated. The best control of H. sativum on seeds was obtained with Panoctine (Guazatine 40%). The stand in the field was evaluated 17 days after sowing. Cercoran (Metiltiofanato 50% + Thiran 30%); Dithane M-45 and Benlate T (Benomyl 20% + Thiran 20%) were statistically superior to the check. When the same evaluation was conducted 31 days after sowing only Cercoran and Dithane M-45 showed plant stands higher than the check. Seed treatment did not increase the number of heads/unit area. The average yield of the two seedlots treated with Cercoran was significantly superior to the check

Search for dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and miss- ing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated backgrounds is observed. The results are in- terpreted in the framework of simplified models of spin-0 dark-matter mediators. For colour- neutral spin-0 mediators produced in association with top quarks and decaying into a pair of dark-matter particles, mediator masses below 50 GeV are excluded assuming a dark-matter candidate mass of 1 GeV and unitary couplings. For scalar and pseudoscalar mediators produced in association with bottom quarks, the search sets limits on the production cross- section of 300 times the predicted rate for mediators with masses between 10 and 50 GeV and assuming a dark-matter mass of 1 GeV and unitary coupling. Constraints on colour- charged scalar simplified models are also presented. Assuming a dark-matter particle mass of 35 GeV, mediator particles with mass below 1.1 TeV are excluded for couplings yielding a dark-matter relic density consistent with measurements
