In Brazil, corn planted area increased by 30%. Therefore, there was also an increase in the incidence of pathogens in the crop. The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of fungicide applications on corn crops in the different growth stages for the control of the diseases and its effect on the occurrence of mycotoxins in the grain. The experiment was carried out in the 2017/2018 summer crop, in the municipality of Cruz Alta, state of Rio Grande do Sul/BR. This study used P 1630 hybrid, in a randomized block design with eight treatments (control, V8, PT, V4 + V8, V4 + V8 + PT, V8 + PT, V8 + PT + 15, PT + 15) and three replicates. The fungicide fluxapiroxade + pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole at the dose of 1.0 L/ha-1 was used. The diseases that affected the crop were the white spot and helmintosporiosis, therefore, reducing the incidence of diseases. Also the highest yields were obtained where the applications started at the phenological stage V4 and V8. The levels of mycotoxins detected in this work remained within the limits of the legislation, with a significant reduction in the accumulation of fumonisin and aflatoxin with fungicide applications.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study was to compare the efficacy of different weed management through a burndown application followed by sequential applications of herbicides to control Conyza spp. Thus, four field experiments were conducted, two in the western region of Paraná state (E1 and E2), one in Jataí, Goiás state (E3) and another one in Ibirubá, Rio Grande do Sul state (E4). Conyza spp. in this area had a height ranging between 25 and 60 cm. Treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with four replications. The primary herbicide treatments were 2,4-D + glyphosate + diclosulam, chlorimuron-ethyl + glyphosate + 2,4-D, and four doses of diclosulam + halauxifen-methyl + glyphosate. These treatments were applied singly or in sequential applications, made 10 days before the application of ammonium glufosinate, paraquat or saflufenacil. In all experiments, results showed efficient (90%) control of treatments containing diclosulam + halauxifen-methyl in combination with glyphosate on day 35 DAA, regardless of sequential applications. Applications of 2,4-D + glyphosate + diclosulam or chlorimuron-ethyl + glyphosate + 2,4-D were not effective against Conyza spp. at E1 and E2 locations, possibly due to the greater weed size (50 to 60 cm) at these sites. However, the same treatments were effective at E3 and E4 locations, where weeds were smaller. Diclosulam + halauxifen-methyl + glyphosate associated with ammonium glufosinate, paraquat or saflufenacil in sequential applications, proved to be an important tool to manage Conyza spp. at different growth stages.

The objective of this work was to characterize the chemical properties of white oat (Avena sativa) caryopsis and to determine the adaptability and stability of cultivars recommended for cultivation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The trials were carried out in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 crop seasons, in three municipalities: Augusto Pestana, Capão do Leão, and Passo Fundo. Fifteen cultivars were evaluated in a randomized block design, with four replicates. The contents of protein, lipid, and nitrogen-free extract were evaluated in the caryopsis. Cultivar performances for the measured characters varied according to location and year of cultivation. The cultivar URS Guapa showed high content of nitrogen-free extract and low contents of protein and lipid in the caryopsis. 'FAPA Louise' showed high content of lipid, whereas 'Albasul', 'UPF 15', and 'UPF 18' showed high content of protein and low content of nitrogen-free extract. There is no evidence of an ideal biotype for the evaluated characters, which could simultaneously show high average performance, adaptability to favorable and unfavorable environments, and stability.

A altura de plantas e o diâmetro de colmos caracterizam-se como determinantes no sucesso produtivo da pastagem pela quantidade de massa produzida. Um dos fatores que alteram esses índices são as precipitações irregulares, tornando necessária a reposição da demanda através da irrigação. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o diâmetro de colmos e a altura de plantas sob diferentes condições hídricas e cortes no sorgo forrageiro, em dois anos agrícolas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos nos anos agrícolas de 2015/2016 e 2016/2017 em Santa Maria (RS), e foram avaliadas as alturas de plantas e os diâmetros de colmos em seis condições hídricas (não irrigado, 25, 50, 75, 100 e 125 % da ETo), em três períodos de cortes (50, 80 e 110 dias após a semeadura) em delineamento blocos ao acaso. Foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas para a variação da altura de plantas e também do diâmetro de colmos, tanto conforme a lâmina de irrigação, quanto na sequência de cortes.   Palavras chave: pastagem irrigada, capacidade de rebrote, irrigação.     KIRCHNER, J.

HEIGHT OF PLANTS AND DIAMETER OF STEMS OF SORGHUM FORAGE IRRIGATED BY CUTS         2 ABSTRACT   Achieving high pasture yields is essential for maintaining feed levels in cattle herds. Plant height and stem diameter are determinants of pasture production success by the amount of mass produced. One of the factors that change these rates is irregular rainfall, making it necessary to replenish demand through irrigation. The objective of this work was to evaluate stem diameter and plant height under different water conditions and forage sorghum cuts in two agricultural years in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Two experiments were conducted in the agricultural years of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 in Santa Maria / RS, and plant heights and stem diameters were evaluated in six water conditions (non-irrigated, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125% of ETo), in three cutting periods (50, 80 and 110 days after sowing) in a randomized block design. Statistically significant differences were found for plant height and stem diameter variation, both according to irrigation depth and cut sequence.   Keywords: irrigated pasture, regrowth capacity, irrigation.

Soybean cultivars without tolerance can suffer injury from exposure to tank herbicide residues. This study aimed at assessing the potential effects of the broad spectrum herbicide dicamba on sensitive soybean during its vegetative and reproductive stages. The trial was performed in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Six rates (1.4, 2.8, 5.6, 11.2, 16.8 and 28.0 g ae ha-1) of dicamba were applied at two soybean growth stages (V3 and R2). The soybeans were planted in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul state in 2015/16 agricultural year. The dicamba induced symptoms of soybean phytotoxicity showed a steady rise at all the assessment times. The soybean decreased in height as the subdose of the herbicide increased. Dicamba was observed to negatively affect the number of nodes alone, during the V3 and R2 stages. The grain yield was adversely affected at the 28.0 g ae ha-1 subdose, in the V3 application stage, and in response to the 16.8 and 28.0 g ae ha-1 subdoses in the R2 stage.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic variables due to the effects of different levels of defoliation in the phenological phases of two soybean cultivars. The experiment was conducted during the 2011/2012 season, in a randomized block design with three replicates, in a 2 x 4 x 5 factorial scheme. Two cultivars were exposed to defoliations of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% at the stages of V4, V9, R3 and R5. The cultivar 'NK 7059RR' showed less sensitivity to defoliation than the cultivar 'IN 4990RG'. 25% defoliation levels reduced the yield of the cultivar 'IN 4990RG', while levels of 75 and 100% reduce the number of grains per pod in both cultivars. The defoliation performed in the V4 stage lead to lower grain yield than defoliation in V9. The most sensitive stages to defoliation are R3 and R5, where there is a greater reduction in the production potential of soybeans.

O trabalho foi desenvolvido em área agrícola localizada no município de Carazinho, RS. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos casualizados 4 x 3, sendo quatro intensidades de tráfego (tráfego do trator, tráfego do trator e colhedora, tráfego de trator e colhedora e pulverizador e tráfego aleatório) e três configurações de sulcadores (disco duplo em todas as linhas de semeadora, disco duplo nas linhas sem tráfego e haste naquelas que recebem o tráfego e disco duplo nas linhas sem contato de pneu com ausência de sulcadores nas linhas de tráfego). Os gases analisados foram: material particulado (MP), monóxido de nitrogênio (NO), dióxido de nitrogênio (NO2), óxidos de nitrogênio (NOx), dióxido de carbono (CO2) e oxigênio (O). Conclui-se que o tráfego controlado de máquinas na maior intensidade comparado ao tráfego aleatório reduz 6,7% a emissão de gases particulados com disco duplo na semeadora e 30,3% quando as linhas trafegadas não são cultivadas. A tráfego controlado de máquinas, dependendo da configuração dos sulcadores da semeadora, reduz a emissão de óxidos de nitrogênio.   Palavras–chave: gás carbônico, combustível, poluição, combustão, agricultura   GASES EMISSION FROM AN AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR IN A SOWING OPERATION WITH TRAFFIC CONTROL  TRAFFIC IN DIFFERENT INTENSITIES   ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the emissions of pollutant gases from an agricultural tractor, pulled a seeder with different furrower configurations, in an area traffic intensity controlled area and random machines. The study was developed in an agricultural area located in the municipality of Carazinho, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The experimental design was a 4 x 3 randomized block design, with four traffic situations (tractor traffic, tractor and harvester traffic, tractor and harvester traffic and sprayer and random traffic) and three furrow configurations (double disk in all rows, double disk in the lines without traffic and stem in those that receive the traffic and double disc in the lines without contact of tire with absence of furrowers in the traffic lines). The analyzed gases were: particulate matter (MP), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O). It was concluded that the controlled traffic with machines at the highest intensity compared to random traffic reduces the emission of particulate gases with double disc in the seeder and by 30.3% when the trafficked lines      were not cultivated.   Keywords: carbon dioxide, fuel, pollution, oxygen, combustion, agriculture

Aims: To evaluate the effect of various sources and levels of calcium fertilisation in improving the growth and SPAD index of hybrid tomato at different growth stages. Study Design: Factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: A field experiment was conducted in the farmer’s field at Devarayapuram village, Thondamuthur block, Coimbatore from January to April, 2021. Methodology: A field experiment was conducted with hybrid tomato (Solanum lycopersiucm L) Shivam by using various organic and inorganic calcium sources viz., calcium sulphate, calcium nitrate, calcium silicate, poultry manure and pressmud applied at different levels (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 kg Ca ha-1) in a factorial randomized block design with three replications. The growth parameters such as plant height, root length, lateral root length, root volume and SPAD index were recorded as per standard protocols at different plant growth stages. Results: A linear increase in the plant growth, root traits and SPAD index of hybrid tomato was noted by the addition of organic and inorganic sources of calcium and the highest values were observed with the application of 80 kg Ca ha-1. Higher plant height (93.8 cm), root length (16.8 cm), lateral root length (13.3 g cc-1) and SPAD index (62.0) was registered with poultry manure applied at 80 kg Ca ha-1 which was followed by pressmud applied at the same level. Skipping of calcium in the fertiliser schedule registered the lowest growth response of hybrid tomato at all the growth stages. Conclusion: Inorganic Ca fertiliser sources though improved the growth, root traits and SPAD index of hybrid tomato at different growth stages, and it was comparatively lesser than the organic sources such as poultry manure and pressmud as calcium sources. The order of better growth performance was: Poultry manure > Pressmud > Ca silicate > Ca Nitrate > Ca sulphate. The lowest values of all the growth attributes were noted with NPK control. It was concluded that application of poultry manure at 80 kg Ca ha-1 would be effective in improving the growth, root traits and SPAD index of hybrid tomato.

A Doctoral Research was conducted for two consecutive years (2011-2012 and 2012-2013) on fine texture soils of agricultural college farm, Bapatla to find out the residual effect of different sources of nutrients applied to preceding rice on P content in maize at different growth stages. The experiment was laidout in a Randomized Block Design in Kharif season with four treatments. The treatments consisted of M1 (RDF - Control), M2 (10t FYM ha-1 + RDF), M3 (1.5t vermicompost ha-1 + RDF), M4 (Green manuring + RDF). During the immediate Rabi, the experiment was laid out in a split-plot design without disturbing the soil for succeeding maize with the four treatments given to Kharif rice as main plot treatments and each of these divided into five sub-plots to receive five levels of fertilizer NPK application viz., N1 - 75%NPK, N2 - 100% NPK, N3 - 125% NPK, N4 - 150% NPK and N5 - 175% NPK for succeeding maize. Data collected on P content in maize at different growth stages was significantly increased with the application of 100% NPK in combination with FYM @10t ha-1 to preceding rice crop, irrespective of the NPK levels applied to succeeding maize crop. However, it was on par with that of green manuring together with 100% NPK during both the years of the study.

The area occupied by crops has expanded in recent years in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and the search for alternative winter crops to integrate the productive system is relevant given the idleness of the areas at this time and the lower risk of frost losses that occur in most grain-producing regions. In this sense, the objective of this research was to evaluate the agronomic performance of eight canola hybrids (Hyola 61, Hyola 50, Hyola 433, Hyola 571CL, Hyola 575CL, Diamond, ALHT B4, and ALHT M6), cultivated in low altitude areas, in the Central region of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). The experiment was conducted in 2017, in Santa Maria, RS, using a randomized block design with four replicates. Canola hybrids show variability regarding the morphological components and grain production. The environmental condition and low altitude of the region of Santa Maria do not compromise the productive potential of the canola crop, obtaining grain productivity superior to the state and national averages. Therefore, canola crop can be inserted in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul if adequate agronomic management is performed. The cultivars Hyola 50, Hyola 571CL, Hyola 433, Hyola 575CL, Diamond, and Hyola 61 present the highest grain productivity.
