Espaçamento entre linhas e pontas de pulverização no controle de Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sidow

Abstract

The association of application technology with the crop handling can provide larger adaptation in the phytosanitary handling as well as increasing the exhibition of the leaves to the radiation. This work had for objective to assess the effect of row spacings and spray nozzles interaction in asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sidow) control. The experimental design was a randomized blocks with four replications, in bands with split split-plots. The research was carried out in Itaara RS wher the cultivar M-SOY 8000 RR was sowed in row spacings of 30, 45 and 60 cm, keeping the same plants population of 33 pl.m-2. The spray nozzles used were extended range flat (XR 11001), twinjet flat spray (TJ60-11002), hollow cone spray (TXA 8002) and Turbo Teejet® Duo (TT 11002 + XR 11002). The applications were designed in split splitplots with one, two and three applications. The results showed that the reduction of the row spacing benefited the disease action. The row spacing of 60 cm presented the smallest severity values, rate of disease progress (r) and Area Under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC). When the row spacing was reduced, the previous values were increasing gradually. Thus, the defoliate was larger in row spacings of 30 and 45 cm and the Green Foliate Area (GFA) was obtained better levels in the row spacing of 60 cm. The fungicide covering was larger in the row spacing of 60 cm as in medium as in inferior stratum for all analyzed spray nozzles. The number of pods and number of grains per pods were significantly larger in the row spacing of 60 cm mainly in the inferior stratum, resulting in a superior final productivity than row spacing of 30 and 45 cm, benefited for the largest foliate covering and photosynthetic activity of the inferior and medium stratum.
