The ex situ fungal cultures collections represent important biological heritage and is useful for mycologists and plant pathologists, supporting several scientific works. They provide viable pathogens anytime and assisting at identification, morpho-physiological aspects, life cycle, epidemiology, resistance to fungicides and breeding programs in resistance of diseases. However, there is not a universal preserva...
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais; The use of corn varieties adapted to the environmental variations between years and the agriculture of minimum investment may be an alternative for small farmers. It is usual the use of own seed which came from these varieties planted in small farms. This way good quality seeds production by these farmers is fundamental to improve the productive capacity ...
The nematodes are very abundant, as they represent 80% of individuals in the kingdom Animalia. The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is a great problem for soybean cultivation and it is present in about ten states of Brazil. Some species or soybean cultivars have the characteristic of resistance or alteration in survival skills and perpetuation of nematodes (female index FI), which process is ac...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Brazil is the major passion fruit producer in the world, and collar rot of Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa, caused by Fusarium spp., is one of the limiting problems of the crop, significantly reducing yield. Although yellow passion fruit is propagated by seeds, the use of rootstocks tolerant to early death could be a management strategy for cultivatio...
The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) has great importance in human nutrition where it occupies the fourth place among the most consumed foods in the world. It is a highly demanding culture technology especially in the nutritional point of view. Despite the titanium (Ti) is not considered a nutrient, studies have shown beneficial effects of this element when applied to plants. The application of Ti leaf can be an a...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; Spray technologies have been studied to increase efficacy of pesticide treatments, such as electrostatic spraying. In this technology, spray droplets are electrified to be attracted by the spray targets. However, factors that affect the efficacy of this technology, such as relation charge/mass (Q/M), need to be better analyzed. This study evaluated ...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Diseases are one of the biggest constraints for the successful production of soybeans (Glycine max L. Merrill). In recent years, white mold caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Lib. De Bary has become very important due to their damage caused mainly by changing environments. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the resis...
