Tecnologia de aplicação de fungicidas na cultura do trigo

Abstract

The presence of dew at fungicide spray might change de efficiency. So, the work was carried out to evaluate changes on fungicides efficiency on control of wheat diseases due to presence of dew on leaf surface at the moment of spray. In addition, the time of spray and gallonage of the product was considered. Two experiments were carried out at Itaara RS. The first experiment was structured based on three factorial design which factors were fungicides, nozzles (hollow cone, flat fan and twin jet) and dew (presence or absence). It was used the gallonage of 200 L/ha. The second experiment considered the time of spray and fungicide gallonage (60, 80 and 100 L/ha). The fungicide spray was not influenced by the presence of dew on leaf surface at the moment of application since the nozzles produce very small droplets with no wash out. Application of fungicides with no dew on the leaf surface produced good disease control. However, the nozzle utilized should produce small droplets. Fungicide application with a gallonage of 100 L/ha showed efficiency if temperature, humidity and wind velocity were adequate to the spray.
