Resumo
Nos últimos anos, grande ênfase tem sido dada ao uso de fungicidas para o manejo de doenças foliares na cultura do milho no Brasil. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo a realização de uma análise da viabilidade técnica e econômica da aplicação de fungicidas no rendimento de cultivares de milho em diferentes regiões produtoras. Foram conduzidos experimentos para avaliação do efeito da aplicação de fungicidas no rendimento de diferentes cultivares de milho, em três localidades: Sete Lagoas (MG), Londrina (PR) e Rio Verde (GO). Foram consideradas a não aplicação, uma e duas aplicações de fungicidas em cada cultivar. Foram avaliadas a severidade das doenças foliares e o rendimento de cada cultivar. Os resultados de rendimento das cultivares tratadas com fungicidas apresentaram elevada inconsistência em condições de baixa severidade de doenças. Maior frequência de rendimentos positivos e benefício econômico ocorreu quando as aplicações de fungicida foram realizadas em condição de elevada pressão de doença. Mais estudos são necessários para o melhor entendimento do efeito dos fungicidas do grupo das estrobilurinas na fisiologia e na produção de plantas de milho.
In recent years, great emphasis has been given to the use of fungicides for managing foliar diseases in corn in Brazil. This study aimed to conduct an analysis of technical and economic feasibility of application of fungicides on maize in different growing regions. Trials were conducted to evaluate the effect of fungicides on the yield of different maize cultivars at three locations: Sete Lagoas (state of Minas Gerais), Londrina (state of Paraná) and Rio Verde (state of Goiás). The effect of one and two fungicide applications on each cultivar was evaluated. For each trial, the difference in mean yield and disease severities between treated and untreated plots for each cultivars was compared. For all trials, yield response of cultivars treated with fungicides was highly inconsistent under low disease severity. A higher frequency of positive yields and economic benefit occurred when fungicide applications were made under conditions of high disease pressure. More studies are needed to better clarify the effect of strobilurin fungicides on the physiology and production of corn plants.
