Abstract: | Soybean rust is caused by an obligate parasite (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) which has spread in Brazil in each new season since 2001 and, despite the efforts to control the disease, losses have occurred
every year. Its control demands several tactics amongst which chemical control with fungicides is the main method and remains
indispensable. Control strategies such as the use of cultivars with partial resistance are desirable, but are not yet commercially
available. The present study analyzed the existing differences in the reactions of short, medium and long cycle soybean cultivars
against Asian rust and their responses to fungicide sprays. The experiment was conducted at Uberlandia-MG, Brazil, under field
conditions from December 2007 to May 2008, in the Syngenta Seeds Experimental Station. The high pressure of the disease in
the experiment simulated the natural pressure that the disease often reaches in Brazil. The studied variables were: visual
severity (percentage of infected leaf area), percentage defoliation and productivity (kg ha−1). Disease severity was expressed as AUDPC (area under disease progress curve). Variance analysis and comparison of means
by the Tukey test (5% significance) were done for all variables studied. Significant differences were observed between cultivar
effects and chemical control programs. The results obtained here indicate that the cultivars M-Soy 8199RR and Emgopa 315RR
were less susceptible to disease, and that a control program termed “monitoring” (in which the appearance of new pustules
of the pathogen were monitored to make the decision at each fungicide spray) was the most effective. |
