RESUMO

Late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans and early blight, caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, are among the most destructive diseases of potato crops in Brazil and worldwide. Considering the importance of the chemical control on integrated systems and the need for detailed knowledge of the performance of resistance inducers and fungicides targeting the sustainability of production, the present study aimed to:1- characterize and compare the preemptive, residual, curative, antisporulative action and rain resistance of fungicides under controlled conditions; 2-: evaluate, under field conditions, the control potential of fungicides and resistance inductors and their effects on the total and commercial yield of potato tubers. All fungicides tested provided a high pre-emptive action against late and early blight. The systemic fungicides or high tenacity ones provided control of both diseases until 12 days after application, while translaminar ones until 9 days after application. As for the curative and anti-sporulative action, the systemic fungicides stand out when applied until 24 hours postinoculation, while the translaminar ones inhibited late blight when applied until 12 hours postinoculation. The contact fungicides stand out concerning pre-emptive action only. Similarly, systemic, translaminar and high tenacity fungicides were less affected by the simulated rain. An increase in drying time promoted higher retention and absorption of the products, so decreasing the negative precipitation impact. The better levels of control, yield and tubers quality were reached with the use of the following fungicides in the control of late blight: mandipropamid+chlorothalonil, fluopicolide+propamocarb, dimetomorph+ametoctradin, mandipropamid, fenamidone+ propamocarb, bentiavalicarb+fluazinam, followed by dimetomorph+chlorothalonil, mefenoxam+ chlorothalonil and famoxadone+cymoxanil+mancozeb. In the control of early blight the most efficient were: azoxystrobin+difenoconazole, pycoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin+metconazole, trifloxystrobin+tebuconazole, azoxystrobin, boscalid+pyraclostrobin, iprodione+pyrimethanil and cyprodinil. Acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM) reduced the severity of late and early blight, but promoted an increase in the tuber yield only in late blight affected field. Potassium phosphite (Pp) also reduced the severity of late blight, although it did not have influenced the yield. Except for mandipropamid, the addition of ASM to mefenoxam+mancozebe, cymoxanil+mancozeb or mancozeb led to a better control of late blight, but only when mixed with mancozeb it promoted increase in the yield. Addition of Pp to mandipropamid, mefenoxam+mancozeb, cymoxanil+mancozeb, mancozeb and ASM to azoxystrobin, difenoconazole did not result either in the control of late and early blight or in an increase of yield. Mancozeb and ASM did not differ as for severity, progress of late blight and increasing yield, but however, mancozeb+ASM had a superior efficiency than ASM. Addition of ASM to application programs reduced late and early blight and increased yield only when added to programs in which prevailed translaminar and contact fungicides. Pp did not influenced any of the tested programs against late blight.
