Controlo de infestantes monocotiledóneas com diferentes doses de herbicidas em pós-emergência de trigo mole (Triticum aestivum L.) de sementeira directa

Neste trabalho estudou-se a eficiência dos herbicidas Herbipec 500 FL (s.a. Clortolurão) e Dopler Super (s.a. Diclofope-Metilo+Fenoxaprope-P-Etilo+Mefenepir-Dietilo) no controlo, em pós-emergência de infestantes Monocotiledóneas, e na produção de grão e suas componentes, na cultura do trigo mole em sementeira directa, combinando doses inferiores às recomendadas pelos fabricantes. Os ensaios decorreram nos anos agrícolas de 2006/2007 e 2007/2008, na Herdade do Louseiro no concelho de Évora e na Herdade da Revilheira no concelho de Reguengos de Monsaraz, respectivamente. Na experimentação efectuou-se o estudo dos dois herbicidas, com 3 níveis cada, correspondentes a nove tratamentos. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições cada. Verificou-se uma maior eficiência no controlo das plantas infestantes de Lolium rigidum Gaud. e de Juncus bufonius L. e, consequentemente, um maior número de grãos e uma produção de grão de trigo elevada com 2 litros ha-l de Herbipec 500 FL e 0,5 litro ha-1 de Dopler Super. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this work was to study the efficiency of the herbicides Herbipec 500 FL (a.i. chlorotoluron) and Dopler Super (a.i. diclofop-methyl + fenoxaprop-P-ethyl + mefenpyr-diethyl) to control grass weeds at post-emergence in no-till bread wheat and consequently to do the evaluation of potential grain yield combining reduced doses to the recommended ones by the manufacturers. The trials were carried out over two growing seasons (2006/2007 and 2007/2008) on the farm "Revilheira" and on a private farm "Louseiro", both in the district of Évora. Trials to study effects of three doses of a two herbicides, with three levels each, corresponding to nine treatments were executed. The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications each. The results showed a great efficiency and grain yield wheat with the mixture with 2 l ha-1 Herbipec 500 FL and 0,5 1 ha-1 Dopler Super to controlling Lolium spp. and Juncus bufonius L..

Portugal in the end of the 19 th century was characterized by a huge economic and political instability. This situation led to the publication of the Hunger Law (1899), which is identified as the critical breaking point since it imposed a political ideology over a vernacular landscape. The Alentejo (south of Portugal), between (1889-1929) emerges as a paradigmatic landscapes where an abrupt transformation take place: an ancient landscape with the loss of their ecological memory was lost and a false identities was created. The diversity and ecological richness of the vernacular landscape gave way to the monotony of the cereal and the ecological and social system that for centuries had built up and evolved was abruptly compromised. To analyze and understand the important transformation that happened in the ancestral countryside of Alentejo, the research was based on the concept of landscape as a system, and that the landscape represents the relationship between the natural system and the cultural.
