Reação de genótipos de girassol à mancha de alternaria (alternariaster helianthi) em condições de campo, nas safras 2013/2014 e 2014/2015.

RESUMO: A reação de 23 genótipos de girassol à mancha de Alternaria foi avaliada em dois experimentos de campo, conduzidos em Londrina, PR, nas safras 2013/2014 e 2014/2015. Os experimentos foram semeados em outubro de 2013 e outubro de 2014. A severidade da doença, que ocorreu por infecção natural das plantas pelo fungo, foi avaliada na fase de desenvolvimento R3, utilizando uma escala diagramática da doença. Após a colheita, também foram avaliados a produtividade, o peso de mil aquênios e o teor de óleo. Em cada experimento, verificou-se diferença estatística significativa entre os híbridos avaliados em condições de campo, tanto para a severidade da doença, quanto para os componentes de produção. Nenhum genótipo de girassol apresentou resistência completa à mancha de Alternaria. ABSTRACT: The reaction of 23 sunflower genotypes to Alternaria leaf spot disease was evaluated in two field experiments carried out in Londrina, state of Paraná, Brazil, during 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 growing seasons. The experiments were sown in October 2013 and October 2014. Alternaria disease severity, under natural conditions in the field, was evaluated at the R3 growth stage with reference to a diagrammatic scale developed for this disease. After harvesting, yield, 1000-seed weight and oil content were also evaluated. For each experiment, statistical significance was observed among the evaluated genotypes for disease severity and yield components. None of the sunflower genotypes showed complete resistance to Alternaria leaf spot.

Reação de genótipos de girassol à podridão branca (sclerotinia sclerotiorum) em condições de campo, na safrinha 2014.

RESUMO: O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a reação de genótipos de girassol à podridão branca, causada por Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, no colo e no capítulo, em condições de campo. Dezoito cultivares de girassol foram avaliadas, em experimento implantado em maio de 2014, em Mauá da Serra, PR, em condições de infecção natural do fungo. A avaliação das plantas indicou que a doença foi favorecida pelas condições climáticas de baixa temperatura e alta umidade, ocorrida na região na época de condução do experimento. Todos os genótipos de girassol avaliados foram suscetíveis a S. sclerotiorum. ABSTRACT: The objective of the present work was to evaluate the reaction of sunflower genotypes to Sclerotinia stalk and head rot, caused by Sclerotinia esclerotiorum. Eighteen cultivars were evaluated in a field experiments sowed in May 2014, in Maua da Serra, PR, Brazil, under natural infection in the field. The evaluation of the plants indicated that the disease was favored by the climatic conditions of low temperature and high humidity, which occurred in the region during the time of conducting the experiment. All sunflower genotypes tested are susceptible to Sclerotinia stalk and/or head rot.

Resistance to Meloidogyne incognita, Meloidogyne javanica and Pratylenchus brachyurus in sunflower cultivars adapted to the tropical region of Brazil.

The continuous soybean-maize crop succession in the tropical region of Brazil has led to significant increases in the population size of root-knot (Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica ) and root-lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus brachyurus), which make soils unsuitable for soybean cropping. A greenhouse study was conducted to identify sunflower genotypes adapted to the tropical region of Brazil and that are resistant to M. incognita, M. javanica and/or P. brachyurus . Two experiments for each nematode were conducted in a completely randomized design with six replicates. Gall index was calculated from visual scores (0?5) of gall intensity on roots for the root-knot nematode. Initial and final population density and reproduction factor were also measured for each nematode. Sunflower genotypes varied in resistance to the nematodes. Sunflower hybrids BRS 321 and BRS 323 were resistant to M. javanica and P. brachyurus and exhibited low gall index for M. incognita . The cultivars are good alternatives to using in the succession of soybean in nematode-infested areas of the tropical regions of Brazil. No sunflower genotype was identified as resistant to M. incognita and thus sunflower cropping is not indicated in areas infested with this nematode.
