RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a systemic acquired resistance activator and two fungicides on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants, cultivated in pots in a greenhouse, which was exposed to different conditions of water supply. The products which were sprayed without tank mixtures (applied in their isolated form), were respectively two fungicides: piraclostrobina (PRT) and azoxistrobina (AZT); and one systemic acquired resistance activator, the acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM), and one without products. All treatments were rent on four water levels (90%, 72%, 54% and 36% of container capacity). Four sprays of these produtcs were done: the first was done one day before planting, and the second 10 days after planting. Two more spray was done with 10 days interval between them. The following parameters were taken into measured to do the evaluations: a) dry weights of the root mass, the leaf area, and the entirely plant at 30 and 50 days after the planting (DAP); b) determination of the chlorophyll contents of the plants at 35 DAP, taking as the standard the second leaflet of the first leaf, immediately bellow the first inflorescence; c) plant height at 29 and 49 DAP; d) number of leaves below the first inflorescence at 29 DAP; e) total number of leaves for each plant at 29 DAP; f) percentage of plants with the first inflorescence totally opened at 28 DAP; g) water stress symptoms evaluation at the 7th day after the third and the fourth product sprays. The results indicated that the sprays of acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM), piraclostrobina (PRT) and azoxistrobina (AZT) avoided the visible wilt symptoms due to the hydric stress, while in situations with higher water supply levels, the accumulation of dry material in the roots and in the leaf area of tomato plants increased.
