RESUMO
The objective of this research was to evaluate physiological and biochemical responses of citrus (Citrus spp.) plants sprayed with the herbicide glyphosate. Four studies were done to attain this objective. By the first one, it were investigated the effects of glyphosate (dosages from 0 to 720 g a.e.ha-1 applied on plants canopies) on the leaf contents of shikimate, total free amino acids and phenolic compounds, and on photosynthesis of citrus plants under controlled conditions. The experiments were conducted using Rangpur Lime (Citrus limonia L. Osbeck) rootstock, with 4 months old, and Valencia (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) scion grafted on Swingle (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf x Citrus paradisi Macf) rootstock, with 24 months old. By the second trial, it was evaluated, under field conditions, the toxicity of glyphosate on citrus plants sprayed directly to the the trunk (dosages from 0 to 2160 g a.e.ha-1) or on the canopy (dosages from 0 to 720 g a.e.ha-1). The plants tested were Valencia var. grafted on Swingle var. and on Rangpur Lime var., with 20 and 27 months old, respectively. By the third trial, it was evaluated the fruit dropping of Pera var. (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) in relation to glyphosate spray. The last trial was conducted to evaluate if an accidental simulated spray of glyphosate can cause toxicity and fruit dropping in Pera citrus var. The results by the first study showed effects of glyphosate only on shikimate and total free amino acids contents of Rangpur Lime seedlings. However, these effects were temporaries. No effect was found on phenolic compound contents and on the photosynthetic characteristics evaluated. It was not postrayed any effect on biochemical and photosynthetic characteristics of the Valencia plants, indicating significant glyphosate tolerance. By the second study, the citrus plants sprayed with glyphosate on their trunks have not showed intoxication. Only the application of glyphosate at dosages of 360 and 720 g a.i.ha-1 on the canopies affected the plants. The main toxic symptoms consisted of deformation of new flushes, indicating effect on plant meristems. The effects of glyphosate were low or none in the mature leaves. All plants sprayed by glyphosate have been recovered by from six to twelve months after the application. In the study, in order to evaluate the fruit dropping, it was found that the herbicide glyphosate induced ethylene production, causing fruit dropping when they are in final phase of ripening. Fruit dropping occurred mainly due to the direct contact of the spraying instead of the herbicide translocation. By the last study it was found that the accidental simulated spraying is partially intercepted by weeds, do not causing significant effect on fruit dropping and citrus growth.
