RESUMO

Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. &Syd. is the worst threat for soybean crop in the main producers regions around the world, where significant loses has been observed. Many variables in the quantification of damage of this disease have to be studied, such as area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC), healthy leaf area absorption (HAA), healthy leaf area duration (HAD), in addition to disease progress curves. Aiming the chemical control of this disease, it becomes necessary fungicide applications, which may change the metabolism and the growth of the plant, resulting in negative or positive alterations. There are reports showing that fungicide applications of the strobilurin group on soybean crop have promoted yield enhancement, even in situations without the incidence of diseases, indicating that physiologic changes should be quantified. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of different fungicides on the progress of the disease and its implications on variables related to healthy leaf area, the growth and productivity of two cultivars sowed in late season. The treatments were evaluated in two cultivars: 1. Control; 2. Control with herbicides (V4); 3. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4); 4. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4) and pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2); 5. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4) and pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2 and R5.1); 6. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4), pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2) and epoxiconazole (R5.1) 7. Herbicide + pyraclostrobin (V4) and epoxiconazole (R2 and R5.1) 8. Herbicide (V4) and pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole (R2 and R5.1). The analysis of the results obtained has made it possible to conclude that the association of pyraclostrobin with bentazon e chlorimuron-ethyl, in V4, allowed an early recovery from the effects caused by the above-mentioned herbicides. The spraying of strobilurins group associated with triazole (pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole) promoted greater control and longer residual period of Phakopsora pachyrhizi, in relation to the group of ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors fungicide (epoxiconazole). The logistic model was the one which best adapted to the mean severity ratings and the disease progress curve. At the bottom of the canopy, the most favorable position to the development of the disease, the logistic model with variable rate was the model that most fitted the obtained data. The variables AUDPC, HAA and HAD can be considered suitable to quantify the damage caused by this disease. On the growth analysis, it was observed that the mixture cited above, applied on R2 and R5.1, promoted higher leaf area index and shoots dry mass accumulation, resulting in increase of absolute growth rate (AGR), relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR) and crop growth rate (CGR) in reproductive stages, differing even from the treatment with single triazole applications. The use of these studied fungicides, starting from stage R2, provided better physiological quality of seeds. Thus, according to these results, the application of strobilurin group associated with triazoles (pyraclostrobin + epoxiconazole) fungicide resulted in significant increase in values of the productivity compounds, resulting in yield gains.
