ABSTRACT The establishment of commercial crops in succession to winter cover crops that leaves a dense straw layer provides significantly suppression of weeds. The objective of this work was to evaluate the suppressive potential of winter cover crops on weed infestation in maize and its effect on the yield of the maize sown in succession. The experiment was conducted in the 2012/2013 crop season, in an area of the UFSM Campus Frederico Westphalen, State of Rio Grande do Sul. Four different species of cover crops (black oat, ryegrass, vetch and forage radish) were seeded and a fallow area was used as control. Evaluations to quantify the dry matter and chemical desiccation were performed at the full flowering period of the cover crops. Maize was sown in no-tillage system, in succession to the cover crops. The incidence and shoot dry matter of weeds (g 0.25 m-2) was evaluated 15 days after the maize emergence. The main weed species in the area were: morning-glory (Ipomoea grandifolia), wild poinsettia (Euphorbia heterophylla), large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus). In general, vetch and ryegrass were the winter cover crops that better suppressed the weeds evaluated. The best maize yield was found in the area previously covered with ryegrass, inferring a relation between the cover crop and suppression of weeds and crop yield. | RESUMO O estabelecimento de culturas comerciais em sucessão a coberturas de inverno, com presença de densa camada de palha, proporciona significativa supressão de plantas daninhas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial supressor de coberturas de inverno sobre a incidência inicial de plantas daninhas na cultura do milho e seu efeito na produtividade da cultura semeada em sucessão. Um experimento foi conduzido no ano agrícola de 2012/2013, em área experimental da UFSM, Campus de Frederico Westphalen RS. Foram utilizadas quatro diferentes espécies de cobertura de inverno (aveia-preta, azevém, ervilhaca e nabo) semeadas em faixas, além da testemunha mantida em pousio. No pleno florescimento das coberturas foi realizada a quantificação da massa seca e a dessecação das mesmas. O milho foi semeado em sistema de plantio direto em sucessão às coberturas. Aos 15 dias após a emergência do milho foi avaliada a incidência e a massa seca de parte aérea das plantas daninhas presentes (0,25 m²). As principais espécies daninhas presentes na área foram: corriola (Ipomoea grandifolia), leiteiro (Euphorbia heterophylla), milhã (Digitaria sanguinalis), tiririca (Cyperus rotundus). De forma geral, a ervilhaca e o azevém foram as coberturas de inverno com maior capacidade supressora sobre as plantas daninhas avaliadas. O melhor desempenho produtivo do milho foi observado sobre a palhada de azévem, inferindo para uma relação de supressão de plantas daninhas e produtividade da cultura.

RESUMO Aumentar a produtividade de milho em condições de clima e solo do nordeste brasileiro podem ser atingida com a utilização de insumos biológicos acoplado a aplicação de menores doses de N -fertilizante. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o rendimento de grãos de milho inoculado com duas espécies de bactérias diazotróficas combinadas com doses de N-fertilizante durante três anos consecutivos em um Cambissolo no estado de Sergipe, Brasil. Duas espécies de bactérias foram utilizadas: Azospirillum brasilen se estirpe BR11005 (Sp245) e Herbaspirillum seropedicae BR11147 (ZAE94) e as doses crescentes de ureia de 0, 100, 200 e 300 kg ha-1. Sob condições de campo houve limitação do rendimento dependendo do ano agrícola e regime hídrico. A inoculação, associada a uma dose de 100 kg ha-1 N com as estirpes BR11147 e BR11005, aumentou a produtividade em 1.230 e 614 kg ha-1, respectivamente; sendo 37% e 19% maior que o controle não inoculado. Na ausência do fertilizante também foi observado incremento da produtividade no milho inoculado com BR11147 de 18% e no teor de N na folha índice pela inoculação da BR11145 em 10% comparado ao controle. | ABSTRACT Increasing the crop yield of maize planted in the climate and soil conditions of the northeast region of Brazil can be accomplished with the use of biological inputs coupled with the application of lower doses of nitrogen (N) fertilizer. The objective of this work was to evaluate the yield of maize inoculated with two diazotrophic bacterial species under different N rates, during three consecutive years in an Inseptisol of Sergipe state, Brazil. The two bacterial species used were Azospirillum brasilense BR11005 (Sp245) and Herbaspirillum seropedicae BR11147 (ZAE94). N was applied in the form of urea at 0, 100, 200, and 300 kg ha-1. Under field conditions and depending on the year, the crop yield was limited by the rainfall regime. The inoculation associated with the 100 kg ha-1 N treatment with BR11147 and BR11005, increased productivity by 1,230 kg ha-1 and 614 hg ha-1, respectively. This corresponded to a 37% and 19% productivity increase, respectively, compared to the productivity of the uninoculated control. At zero N, inoculation increased grain yield of maize plants inoculated with BR11147 by 18%. Additionally, the N content of the index leaf inoculated with BR11005 increased by 10% over that of the uninoculated control.

ABSTRACT The ability of plants to adapt to water deficient conditions in soil is directly related to the competitive ability of each species. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of water deficiency and interspecific competition on the growth components of maize (Zea mays), brachiaria (Urochloa decumbens), and hairy beggarticks (Bidens pilosa L). The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with eight replications. The treatments were arranged in a 5 × 2 factorial design, with the first factor corresponding to the different competitive arrangements among species (maize + U. decumbens, maize + B. pilosa, maize without competition, U. decumbens without competition, and B. pilosa without competition). The second factor constituted two water regimes (daily irrigation and water deficit). The soil water deficient condition strongly decreased maize plant growth; however, it had little or no effect on the growth of weeds U. decumbens and B. pilosa. Interspecific competition decreased the growth of maize plants and U. decumbens, and intensified the negative effects of water deficiency on these species. Interspecific competition and water deficiency also decreased the N, P, and K content in maize plants, which contributed to the effects on plant growth. U. decumbens was more competitive with maize compared to B. pilosa. | RESUMO A capacidade de adaptação das plantas a condição de deficiência hídrica no solo está diretamente relacionada à habilidade competitiva por água de cada espécie. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da deficiência hídrica e da competição interespecífica nos componentes de crescimento de milho, Urochloa decumbens e Bidens pilosa. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com 8 repetições. Os tratamentos foram arranjados em fatorial 5 x 2, com o primeiro fator constituído dos arranjos das espécies (milho + U. decumbens; milho + B. pilosa; milho, U. decumbens e B. pilosa sem competição) e o segundo fator composto por dois regimes hídricos (irrigação diária e déficit hídrico). O déficit hídrico no solo reduziu fortemente o crescimento das plantas de milho, no entanto, teve pouco ou nenhum efeito sobre o crescimento das plantas daninhas U. decumbens e B. pilosa. A competição interespecífica reduziu o crescimento das plantas de milho e U. decumbens, e intensificou os efeitos negativos do déficit hídrico nestas espécies. A competição interespecífica e o déficit hídrico também reduziram os conteúdos de N, P e K nas plantas de milho, o que também contribui para os efeitos no crescimento das plantas. U. decumbens foi mais competitivo com o milho em comparação com B. Pilosa.

ABSTRACT Sweet corn is an important crop because of its seeds with high total sugar and low starch contents. As common corn, this group requires an adequate amount of nitrogen to reach high yields. However, the studies on nitrogen and sweet corn are performed for ear yield instead of seed yield. As seeds are the main propagation method for this species, we proposed to evaluate the effects of nitrogen rates as side-dressing at different plant stages of a sweet corn seed production. Sweet corn seeds (variety BR 400) were sown in Latosol (Oxisol), and a 3×2+1 factorial scheme was designed with three nitrogen rates (40, 80, and 120 kg ha-1) at two plant stages (V6 and R1) plus the control (no nitrogen side-dressing). The evaluated variables were seed yield, protein content, P and Zn contents, germination, and vigor rates. We concluded that nitrogen applied at a rate of 120 kg ha-1 at V6 increases seed yield and maintains unaltered the protein content in seeds of sweet corn (BR 400 variety). Neither germination nor seed vigor increases when nitrogen rates are increased or administered at different stages of plant development. We also noted a slight decrease in P content or an increase in Zn content of seeds at low nitrogen rates; however, they are insufficient to promote changes in the physiological potential of sweet corn seeds. | RESUMO O milho doce é uma cultura importante por causa do seu tipo de sementes com índice elevado dos açúcares totais e baixo índice do amido. Como o milho comum, este necessita de quantidade adequada de nitrogênio para atingir altas produtividades, no entanto, os estudos que envolvem nitrogênio e milho doce são realizados para o rendimento das espigas e não para a produção de sementes. Como a semente é o principal método de propagação dessa espécie, foi avaliado os efeitos das doses de nitrogênio em cobertura em diferentes estádios fenológicos para produção e potencial fisiológico de sementes de milho doce. As sementes de milho doce (variedade BR 400) foram semeadas em Latossolo e um esquema fatorial de tratamento 3 × 2 + 1 foi instalado com três doses de nitrogênio 40, 80 e 120 kg ha-1 e dois estádios fenológicos (V6 e R1) mais o controle (sem nitrogênio em cobertura). Foram avaliadas a produtividade de sementes, teores de proteína, P e Zn, germinação e vigor. Como conclusão, o nitrogênio fornecido em V6 a 120 kg ha-1 aumenta a produtividade de sementes e mantém os teores de proteína inalterados. A germinação da semente e o vigor não aumentam quando as taxas de nitrogênio são acrescidas ou fornecidas em diferentes estádios fenológicos. Diminuição ligeira do teor de P ou o aumento do teor de Zn nas sementes são observados a uma dose baixa de nitrogênio entretanto não suficientes para promover alterações no potencial fisiológico das sementes do milho doce.

ABSTRACT: Corn is a nitrogen-intensive crop, and the use of management practices such as inoculation of the seed with diazotrophic bacteria, which can maximize crop productivity and reduce the need of nitrogen fertilizers, may result in lower production costs. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of inoculation of corn seed with Azospirillum brasilense and controlled addition of nitrogen to topdressing on the nutrition, production components, and productivity of crop grain. The experimental design was a randomized block design, with four replications in a 2 × 5 factorial scheme. The treatments consisted of inoculation or not of corn seed with A. brasilense (at 100 mL per 25 kg of seed) and five nitrogen (N) levels in topdressing (0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 kg N ha-1 from urea [45% N]) were applied when the corn was in the phenological growth stage V6. Foliar macronutrients, foliar chlorophyll index (FCI), production components, and yield of corn grain were valuated. Inoculation of corn seeds with A. brasilense increased plant height and grain yield. Fertilization in topdressing, with N levels up to 120 kg ha-1, linearly increased the foliar nutrients and productivity of corn cultivated in the spring/summer in the low-altitude Cerrado region of Brazil. | RESUMO: O milho é uma cultura exigente em nitrogênio e a utilização de práticas de manejo como a inoculação das sementes com bactérias diazotróficas, poderão maximizar a produtividade da cultura, atrelados a redução do uso de adubos nitrogenados, podendo refletir em menor custo de produção. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito da inoculação de sementes de milho com Azospirillum brasilense e adição controlada de nitrogênio em cobertura sobre a nutrição, componentes da produção e produtividade de grãos da cultura. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial 2 x 5. Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela inoculação ou não das sementes do milho com A. brasilense (dose de 100 mL para 25 kg de sementes) e cinco doses de nitrogênio (N) em cobertura (0, 30, 60, 90 e 120 kg N ha-1 fonte ureia [45% N]) foram aplicadas quando o milho estava no estádio fenológico V6. Teores de macronutrientes foliares, o índice de clorofila foliar (FCI), os componentes da produção e a produtividade de grãos do milho foram avaliados. Constatou-se que a inoculação das sementes de milho com A. brasilense incrementou a altura de plantas e a produtividade de grãos. A adubação em cobertura, com a dose de até 120 kg N ha-1, aumentou linearmente os teores nutricionais foliares e a produtividade de grãos do milho irrigado cultivado na primavera/verão na região de Cerrado de baixa altitude do Brasil.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to estimate and compare phenotypic and genetic parameters after three cycles of intrapopulation recurrent selection for fresh corn grown under three nutrient availability conditions. Three experiments derived from the same population (MV-003) were conducted to assess the ability of progenies to absorb nutrients, one under adequate fertilization (control; MV-006), one under low nitrogen availability (N; MV-006N), and one under low phosphorus availability (P; MV-006P). The experiments were carried out in randomized blocks, with 64 half-sib progenies and three replications for each nutritional condition. Chlorophyll index, plant height, ear insertion, ear diameter, ear length, unhusked ear yield, and marketable husked ear were evaluated. The populations showed variability for the three nutrient availability conditions. The variability reduced after only three selection cycles; thus, evaluating a higher number of half-sib progenies, above 64, under low N and P availability is indicated. The rates used to identify the most efficient progenies in breeding programs should be close to the appropriate one, with a slow reduction after the selection cycles. The variability will be thus maintained, with a greater possibility of identifying more promising progenies. In addition, the frequency of favorable alleles increases more gradually and effectively. The N and P rate of 60 kg ha-1 is not indicated as a critical level for the initial phase of the program.

ABSTRACT Maize is one of the main cereals cultivated worldwide and wild poinsettia is among the weeds that cause damage in grain production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative competitive ability of maize hybrids in the presence of a wild poinsettia biotype through experiments in replacement series. In preliminary experiments, it was determined the plant population in which the dry mass becomes constant. For the maize hybrids ‘Agroeste’, ‘Morgan’, ‘Nidera’, and ‘Velox’, as well as the wild poinsettia, the population was 20 individuals vase-1. Subsequently, experiments were carried out in replacement series in different combinations of species that varied the relative proportions (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100%). The analysis of the species' competitiveness was carried out using diagrams applied to the replacement experiments and by the relative competitiveness indexes. The height (PH), chlorophyll index (CI), leaf area (LA), and the shoot dry mass (DM) of the plants were evaluated 50 days after emergence. There was competition between the maize hybrids and the wild poinsettia; both were negatively affected, regardless of the proportion of plants, causing reductions in the species' PH, CI, LA, and DM. The competition between maize and wild poinsettia occurs for the same resources in the environment, and interspecific competition caused greater damage to maize and wild poinsettia than intraspecific competition. In general, it was observed that only the hybrids ‘Nidera’ and ‘Velox’ were more competitive than the wild poinsettia.

ABSTRACT Alternative management measures have been used to reduce nematode population levels in affected areas. In this perspective, the objective was to evaluate the efficiency of nematicides based on fungus and bacterium, associated with poultry litter applied via ground in the management of Pratylenchus brachyurus and Heterodera glycines in soybean and corn crops in succession. The experiment was conducted in the 2018/19 growing season in the municipality of Ipameri– GO (-17°34’55.58”S−48°12’02.35”O) in naturally infested field, arranged in a randomized block design, with 10 treatments and 4 replicates, being: T1- Witness/ control, T2- Poultry litter, T3- P. lilacinum + T. harzianum, T4- B. subtilis + B. licheniformis, T5- P. chlamydosporia, T6- Abamectina, T7- P. lilacinum + T. harzianum + Poultry litter, T8- B. subtilis + B. licheniformis + Poultry litter, T9- P. chlamydosporia + Poultry litter, T10- Abamectina + Poultry litter. The poultry litter was added in the soil 10 days before planting. The plots were composed of 6 lines of 6 m, with a spacing of 0.5 m. In the soybean crop at 45 and 90 days after sowing (DAS), the fresh weight of the roots (MFR), nematological variables and productivity were evaluated. In corn, only nematological variables were evaluated at 60 DAS. The treatments using P. lilacinum + T. harzianum and B. subtillis + B. licheniformes increased the MFR and reduced the number of P. brachyurus and H. glycines at the root. P. chlamydosporia associated with poultry litter increased in productivity in soybean plants.

ABSTRACT Sorghum is a commonly grown plant in the Central-West region of Brazil as a second crop; however, it is grown almost exclusively as a second crop after maize in the state of Paraná (South region). The growth of sorghum crops is an option for areas or times in which the growth of maize crops can be risky. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic characteristics of eight sorghum hybrids (ADV-123, ADV-114, 1G100, 50A10, 1G244, 50A40, 50A50, and 1G282) grown in three sowing times in two agricultural years: 2014 (February 20, March 02, and March 03) and 2015 (February 09, February 19, and March 01), and four maize hybrids in 2014 (DKB-330-Pro, P-3431-HX, Formula-TL, and AG-9010-Pro) and five maize hybrids in 2015 (DKB-330-Pro, P-3431-HX, Formula-TL, DKB-275-Pro, and DKB-290-Pro), in the same sowing times used for sorghum. A randomized complete block experimental design with a split-plot factorial arrangement was used, with the sowing times in the plots and the hybrids in the sub-plots. The variables evaluated were: number of days from sowing to flowering, leaf area index, 1,000-grain weight, grain yield, number of spikelets per panicle, for the sorghum crop; and number of rows per ear and number of grains per row, for the maize crop. The comparison between the two crops showed that the sorghum maintained higher production stability in the different sowing times.
