Habilidade competitiva de cultivares de soja com Ipomoea indivisa

Among the weeds that infest soybeans, the morning glory (Ipomoea indivisa) stands out for competing with water, light, nutrients and also interfering in the crop harvesting process. The aim of this study was to test the competitive ability of soybean cultivars in the presence of I. indivisa, in substitutive experiments. The experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design, with four replicates, using the soybean cultivars M 5838, DM 53i54, DM 57i52, DM 66i68, NS 5445, and NS 6601. A constant final yield for soybean and I. indivisa was observed with 24 plants per pot. Relative and total productivities were analyzed using diagrams applied to substitutive experiments with soybean and I. indivisa plants proportions of 24:0, 18:6, 12:12, 6:18, and 0:24 plants pot-1 (crop:weed). On 35 days after the emergence of the culture and the I. indivisa, the morphophysiological characteristics of the plants were assessed and the relative competitiveness indices were calculated considering the 50:50 plant ratio (12:12 plants pot-1). Morning glory affected the morphophysiological characteristics of soybean cultivars, demonstrating superior competitive ability for environmental resources. There was a competition between soybean cultivars and I. indivisa, which caused reductions in the shoot dry matter for both species. In this study, interspecific competition was more harmful than intraspecific competition.Dentre as plantas daninhas que infestam a soja, a corda-de-viola (Ipomoea indivisa) se destaca por competir por água, luz, nutrientes e também interferir no processo de colheita da cultura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi testar a habilidade competitiva de cultivares de soja na presença de I. indivisa, em experimentos substitutivos. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, utilizando as cultivares de soja M 5838, DM 53i54, DM 57i52, DM 66i68, NS 5445 e NS 6601. Observou-se produtividade final constante para soja e I. indivisa com 24 plantas por vaso. As produtividades relativa e total foram analisadas por meio de diagramas aplicados a experimentos substitutivos com plantas de soja e I. indivisa nas proporções de 24:0, 18:6, 12:12, 6:18 e 0:24 plantas vaso-1 (cultivar:planta daninha) . Aos 35 dias após a emergência da cultura e da I. indivisa, foram avaliadas as características morfofisiológicas das plantas e calculados os índices de competitividade relativa considerando a proporção de plantas de 50:50 (12:12 plantas vaso-1). A corda-de-viola afetou as características morfofisiológicas das cultivares de soja, demonstrando superior capacidade competitiva por recursos ambientais. Houve competição entre as cultivares de soja e I. indivisa, o que ocasionou reduções na matéria seca da parte aérea para ambas as espécies. Neste estudo, a competição interespecífica foi mais prejudicial do que a competição intraespecífica

Seletividade e eficácia de herbicidas aplicados em canola para controle de plantas daninhas

The use of herbicides for weed control is the most used method due to its effectiveness, speed, and lower cost, but few products are registered for canola crops. In this way, the objective of this work was to evaluate the selectivity (experiment 1) and efficiency (experiment 2) of herbicides applied alone or in association in pre‑ and post-emergence of canola for weed control. The experiments were carried out in randomized blocks design, with four replications. In pre-emergence, the herbicides oxyfluorfen, pendimethalin, flumiozaxin, and trifluralin were applied, and in post-emergence, fluazifop-p-butyl, plus weeded and infested controls. Phytotoxicity and physiological characteristics were evaluated in the selectivity experiment, and the control of turnip, ryegrass, and black oat weeds were evaluated in the efficacy experiment. In both experiments, the number of siliques per plant, grains per silique, plant density, thousand-grain weight, and grain yield were determined. Oxyfluorfen applied alone or associated with fluazifop-p-butyl caused the highest phytotoxicity to the Diamond canola hybrid. The lowest phytotoxicities were observed for pendimethalin and fluazifop-p-butyl applied alone or in an association. All tested herbicides caused stress on internal CO2 concentration, transpiration, stomatal conductance, photosynthetic activity, water use efficiency, and carboxylation efficiency. Flumioxazin and fluazifop-p-butyl applied pre- and post-emergence of canola showed the best results for the crop yield components, especially higher productivity, also with the weeded control in the selectivity experiment. None of the herbicide treatments controlled turnip properly (experiment 2), and the presence of this weed negatively affected canola yield components. Fluazifop-p-butyl applied alone or in association with oxyfluorfen, pendimethalin, flumioxazin, and trifluralin showed the best controls of ryegrass and black oat.O uso de herbicidas para o controle de plantas daninhas é o método mais empregado pela eficácia, rapidez e menor custo, porém poucos são os produtos registrados à cultura da canola. Diante disso, objetivou-se com os trabalhos avaliar a seletividade (ensaio I) e a eficácia (ensaio II) de herbicidas aplicados de modo isolado ou associados em pré e pós-emergência da canola para o controle de plantas daninhas. Os experimentos foram instalados em delineamento de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Em pré-emergência aplicou-se os herbicidas oxyfluorfen, pendimethalin, flumiozaxin, trifluralin e em pós-emergência o fluazifop-p-butil, mais as testemunhas capinada e infestada. Foram avaliadas a fitotoxicidade e as características fisiológicas no ensaio de seletividade, e o controle das plantas daninhas nabo, azevém e aveia preta no experimento de eficácia. Nos dois experimentos determinou-se os números de síliquas por planta, de grãos por síliqua, densidade de plantas, massa de mil grãos e a produtividade de grãos. O oxyfluorfen aplicado em isolado ou associado ao fluazifop-p-butil ocasionou as maiores fitotoxicidades ao híbrido de canola Diamond. As menores fitotoxicidades foram observadas para o pendimethalin e ao fluazifop-p-butil aplicados em isolado ou associados. Todos os herbicidas testados causaram estresse na concentração interna de CO2, transpiração, condutância estomática, atividade fotossintética, eficiência do uso da água e de carboxilação. O flumioxazin e o fluazifop-p-butil aplicados em pré e pós-emergência da canola apresentaram os melhores resultados para os componentes de rendimento de grãos da cultura, especialmente maior produtividade, juntamente com a testemunha capinada no ensaio de seletividade. Nenhum dos tratamentos com herbicidas controlaram adequadamente o nabo (experimento 2), e a presença desta planta daninha afetou negativamente os componentes de rendimento de grãos da canola. O fluazifop-p-butil aplicado em isolado ou associado ao oxifluorfen, pendimethalin, flumioxazin e trifluralin apresentaram os melhores controles de azevém e aveia preta

Competitive ability of common bean cultivars in the presence of Urochloa plantaginea

Weeds are the main constraints tohigh bean productivity. Here, we aimed to investigate the competitive ability of black type bean cultivars BRS Campeiro and SCS Predileto in coexistence with alexandergrass,Urochloaplataginea. The experimental design employed a replacement series arrangement, and the experiments were conducted in a greenhouse using a randomized block design with four replicates. Once the appropriate plant density was determined, the experiments proceeded with the following ratios of bean to U. platagineaplants per pot: 20:00, 15:5, 10:10, 5:15, and 0:20. Fifty-five days after the emergenceof the plants, physiological and morphological traits were analyzed. Diagrams were made to analyze the relative productivity (RP),total relative productivity(TRP),and the competitiveness indices. Based on RP and TRP, a similar competitive mechanism for environmental resources was observed for both bean cultivarsin the presence of U. plataginea. Variables such as leaf area, dry matter, stem diameter,andplant height of the bean cultivarswere negatively affected by U. plataginea, indicating a superior competitive ability for environmental resources. However, considering only the 10:10 plants per plotratio,beans showedhigher relative growth than U. plataginea, represented by relative competition indices, relative clustering coefficients,and aggressiveness. Intraspecific competition was found to be more harmful than interspecific competition for both crop and weed species

Competitive ability of bean cultivars with Urochloa plantaginea

The objective of this work was to evaluate the competitive ability of carioca bean cultivars BRS FC104, BRS FC402, IAC Imperador, IAC Milênio, IPR Tangará, and SCS Riqueza in the presence of Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea) in different proportions of plants in association. The experiments were carried out in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design with four replications. The treatments were arranged according to the proportions of beans and Alexandergrass plants: 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100 or 40:00, 30:10, 20:20, 10:30, and 0:40 plants per pot. The competitiveness of the species was analyzed using diagrams applied to replacement experiments and also through relative competitiveness indices. At 30 days after crop emergence, leaf area (LA), height (HP), diameter (DP), and shoot dry mass (SM) of the plant shoots were measured, as well as variables related to the physiology of the species. There was competition among carioca bean cultivars in the presence of Alexandergrass regardless of the proportion of plants, causing decreases in DP, LA and SM. Basically, there is competition for the same environmental resources between beans and Alexandergrass. Highlights: There is competition between bean and Alexandergrass, for the same environmental resources; There is varietal difference - IAC Imperador and SCS 205 Riqueza are the most competitive ones; The escape to competition is the best approach to guarantee yield in Alexandergrass-infested fields.The objective of this work was to evaluate the competitive ability of carioca bean cultivars BRS FC104, BRS FC402, IAC Imperador, IAC Milênio, IPR Tangará, and SCS Riqueza in the presence of Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea) in different proportions of plants in association.
