ABSTRACT
Na produção comercial de Psidium guajava L. (goiabeira), a qualidade das mudas é de fundamental importância, a fim de garantir a homogeneidade, a rápida formação, a alta produtividade e o início precoce da produção, tornando-se imprescindível a utilização da propagação assexuada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o enraizamento de estacas de Psidium guajava L. 'Século XXI' tratadas com diferentes concentrações de ácido indolbutírico (AIB) veiculados em talco e álcool. Foram utilizadas estacas herbáceas de 10 - 12cm, submetidas a duas formas de aplicação (solução hidroalcóolica e talco) e três concentrações (0; 1000 e 2000mg L-1) de AIB. As estacas foram enraizadas em caixas plásticas contendo casca de arroz carbonizada. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, com cinco repetições, em um fatorial 2x3, sendo cinco repetições de 10 estacas. Após 95 dias, foram avaliadas as variáveis: sobrevivência das estacas ( por cento); retenção foliar ( por cento); estacas enraizadas ( por cento); número de raízes por estaca; comprimento de raízes por estaca (cm) e massa seca das raízes por estaca (g). Os melhores resultados para a porcentagem de estacas enraizadas (28,5 por cento); número de raízes por estaca (12,10) e comprimento da raiz (6,79cm) foram obtidos com a maior concentração de AIB. A partir dos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que a aplicação de 2000mg L-1 de AIB proporcionou as melhores características de enraizamento em estacas herbáceas da goiabeira 'Século XXI' e a sua veiculação em talco se mostrou mais eficiente que em álcool.
In commercial production of Psidium guajava L. (guava) seedlings quality is of paramount importance in order to ensure uniformity, rapid formation, high productivity and early production, making it essential to vegetative propagation. The aim of this research was to evaluate the cutting rooting of Psidium guajava L. 'Século XXI' treated with different concentrations of indolebutyric acid (IBA) with talc and alcohol as a vehicle. Herbaceous cuttings with 10-12cm were submitted to two forms of applications (alcoholic talc and alcoholic solution) and three doses (0; 1000 and 2000mg L-1) of IBA. The cuttings were placed in plastic boxes containing carbonized rice husk. The experimental design was complete randomized, two-way ANOVA (2x3) with five replicates of ten cuttings. After 95 days, the following variables were evaluated: cutting survival rate ( percent); foliar retention ( percent); rooted cuttings ( percent); root number per cutting; root length per cutting and dry root matter per cutting (g). The best results for the percentage of rooting (28.5 percent), number of roots per cutting (12.10) and root length (6.79cm) were obtained with the highest concentration of IBA. The results showed that the application of 2000mg L-1 of AIB is the most appropriate to provide the best rooting characteristics of 'Século XXI' guava and the use of talc as an vehicle is more efficient than alcohol.
ABSTRACT
Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the phytopathogenic fungi Phakopsora pachyrhizi, has caused large reductions in soybean (Glycine max) yield in most locations in Brazil where it has occurred since it was first reported in May 2001. Primary efforts to combat the disease involve the development of resistant cultivars, and four dominant major genes (Rpp1, Rpp2, Rpp3 and Rpp4) controlling resistance to ASR have been reported in the literature. To develop new long-lasting soybean ASR resistance genes, we used field experiments to assess ASR leaf lesion type in 11 soybean genotypes (BR01-18437, BRS 184, BRS 231, BRS 232, BRSGO Chapadões, DM 339, Embrapa 48, PI 200487, PI 230970, PI 459025-A and PI 200526) and the 55 F2 generations derived from their biparental diallel crosses. The results indicated that PI 200487 and PI 200526 carry different dominant resistance major genes which are both different from Rpp2 through Rpp4. Furthermore, resistance to ASR in BR01-18437 is controlled by a single recessive major gene, also different from Rpp1 through Rpp4 and different from the genes in PI 200487 and PI 200526.
