A ferrugem asiática, causada por Phakopsora pachyrhizi, relatada em nível epidêmico em 2003/04, é a principal doença na cultura as soja no Brasil. Este trabalho teve como objetivos estudar o progresso da ferrugem-asiática da soja e quantificar os urediniósporos no ar na região de Campo Mourão no Estado do Paraná, região Sul do Brasil. Três experimentos foram instalados em condições de campo, nas safras 2006/07 ...
The objective of this research was to evaluate the pathogenicity of P. palmivora and Fusarium spp. isolates associated with basal stem rotting of peach palm. Four P. palmivora isolates and 15 Fusarium spp. isolates were inoculated in wounded stems using mycelial plugs as inoculum. Disease intensity was based on symptoms showed by leaf flags and full- xpanded leaves, which ranged from yellowing to necrosis. It w...
Leaf anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum loeosporioides, is the most important disease of peach palm plants (Bactris gasipaes var. gasipaes) in nurseries in the Central and Southern Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate efficacy of some new formulations of fungicides for controlling anthracnose transplants in orchards. An assay with randomized block design was carried out, with five different fu...
Leaf anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum loeosporioides, is the most important disease of seedlings and young peach palm plants (Bactris gasipaes). The objective of this study was to evaluate efficacy of some fungicides for controlling anthracnose on leaves of young peach palm (Bactris gasipaes), in Northwestern Paraná State, Brazil. An assay with randomized block design was carried out, with five different f...
The majority of phytosanitary problems in peach palm (Bactris gasipaes var. gasipaes) are still restricted to some plantations. However, with the expansion of planted areas, the damages caused by diseases has increased in nurseries as well as in plantations. The anthracnosis (Colletotrichum gloeosporiodes) is the most important disease of peach palm in Brazil, but other pathogens (Phytophthora palmivora, Fusari...
Seeds are the primary inoculum source of Didymella bryoniae on cucurbits cultivated in plastic greenhouse. The objective of this work was to compare the effectiveness of methodologies used for the detection of this pathogen in muskmelon seeds. Four methodologies were evaluated: blotter test with seed freezing and whole seed analysis; blotter test without seed freezing with the analysis of seed parts (seed coat,...
In maize, variations on agronomic performance in distinct environments are common and more evident for one-way hybrids. The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of new one-way popcorn hybrids developed by the Breeding Program of the State University of Maringá, in northwestern Paraná. The characteristics evaluated were: grain yield, popping expansion, plant height, ear height and the intensity...
A field survey accomplished for 24 areas cropped with peach palm in northwest Paraná provided enough information to show a high occurrence of weeds such as Brachiaria decumbens, Cenchrus echinatus, Panicum maximum, Emilia sonchifolia, Sida spp, and Sida micranthum. Most difficult weeds to control are perennial such as Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus spp. and S. micranthum), or those where glyphosate is less effective...
