In order to evaluate the influence of different nitrogen rates on the hormetic effect of glyphosate on common bean crop, proposed to study the combination of nitrogen fertilization in succession to low glyphosate doses. The study was conducted under field conditions at the experimental farm of the State University of São Paulo-UNESP, Ilha Solteira campus, located in the city of Selvíria-MS, Brazil. The experimental design was a randomized block with split plots arranged in four blocks. The plots were composed of four glyphosate doses (0, 7.2, 14.4 and 21.6 g of acid equivalent (AE) ha-1) and the subplots were composed of five nitrogen doses (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 kg ha-1), with urea as the source. Bean growth was stimulated with a maximum point in the 11 g AE ha-1 sub-dose of glyphosate, however, only in the absence of nitrogen under cover. Leaf N content was higher at the estimated 12 and 11 g AE ha-1 glyphosate doses with 30 and 45 kg ha-1 nitrogen. Hormetic effect on yield was obtained with increments of up to 500 kg ha-1 or 21% at the estimated 10 g AE ha-1 low glyphsate dose. Cooking time was affected by low glyphosate doses, depending on the amount of nitrogen. It was possible to prove the influence of nitrogen on glyphosate hormesis in common bean for dry matter mass, leaf N content, grain yield and cooking time.

Para recomendações de adubação mais racionais, é fundamental o conhecimento das exigências nutricionais da cultura do arroz, nos diversos sistemas de cultivo. Objetivando estudar a influência de lâminas de água na nutrição e exportação de nutrientes pelo arroz de terras altas, cultivar IAC 201, sob dois níveis de adubação, foram instalados experimentos em um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico, em Selvíria (MS), nos anos agrícolas de 1994/95 e 1995/96. O delineamento foi de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos constituíram-se da precipitação natural e de quatro lâminas de água fornecidas por aspersão. A lâmina L2 foi baseada no coeficiente de cultura (Kc) do arroz de terras altas. As lâminas L1 e L3 foram definidas como 0,5 e 1,5 vez os Kcs utilizados em L2, respectivamente, e na lâmina L4 foi adotado Kc = 1,95 durante todo o ciclo da cultura. Em 1995/96, foram utilizados os mesmos tratamentos em parcelas subdivididas, sendo as subparcelas constituídas por duas doses de adubação (AD1 - 12 kg ha-1 de N, 90 de P2O5 e 30 de K2O, e AD2 - 24 kg ha-1 de N, 180 de P2O5 e 60 de K2O). A menor disponibilidade de água durante a fase vegetativa e reprodutiva proporcionou redução na produção de matéria seca, nos teores e quantidades de nutrientes acumuladas na parte aérea. O sistema irrigado por aspersão, independentemente da lâmina utilizada, proporcionou maior produtividade de grãos e exportação de nutrientes. Em solos com teores adequados de nutrientes para o sistema de sequeiro, não há resposta ao aumento da adubação mineral pelo arroz no sistema irrigado por aspersão, apesar da maior extração de nutrientes.In order to achieve more sound fertilizer recommendations, knowledge about nutritional requirements of rice in different growing systems is fundamental. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the effects of water levels on nutrition and nutrient exportation by upland rice (cultivar IAC 201) under two levels of mineral fertilizer. Experiments were conducted in the growing seasons of 1994/95 and 1995/96 on a Typic Haplustox, in Selvíria, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The experimental design was of randomized blocks, with four replications. The treatments were five water levels: natural rain and four water levels provided by sprinkler irrigation. Water level 2 (L2) was based on the crop coefficient (Kc) for upland rice. L1 and L3 were then defined as 0.5 and 1.5 times the Kcs used in L2, respectively. For water level 4 (L4), Kc = 1.95 was used during the entire plant cycle. The same treatments were applied in 1995/96 in a split-plot scheme. The subplots consisted in two NPK-fertilization levels (AD1 - 12 kg ha-1 of N, 90 of P2O5, and 30 of K2O; and AD2 - 24 kg ha-1 of N, 180 of P2O5, and 60 of K2O). Low water availability during the vegetative and reproductive phases decreased the dry matter yield, nutrient contents, and nutrient uptake. Sprinkler irrigation increased grain yield and nutrient exportation, independent of the water level. In soils with appropriate nutrient levels for the dryland system, the irrigated rice did not respond to increased mineral fertilization, despite the larger nutrient uptake.

O presente trabalho foi desenvolvido na região de Selvíria (MS) e teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de diferentes doses e épocas de aplicação de N sobre o teor de clorofila e de N nas folhas do feijoeiro, bem como estabelecer correlações com a produtividade. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 3 x 5, constituído pela combinação de três épocas de aplicação (15, 30 e 15 + 30 dias após a emergência) do fertilizante nitrogenado (uréia) em cobertura e em cinco doses (0; 35; 70; 105 e 140 kg ha-1 de N). Avaliaram-se os teores de clorofila e N das folhas no florescimento pleno e a produtividade. A concentração de clorofila correlacionou-se positivamente com o teor de N nas folhas e com a produtividade de grãos, e o medidor portátil de clorofila mostrou-se promissor para avaliar o estado nutricional do nitrogênio no feijoeiro.The effect of N applications (time and rates) on chlorophyll and N contents in bean leaves was evaluated and correlations among them and with the yield established. Carried out in the Selvíria region, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the experiment was set up in a completely randomized block design in a factorial 3 x 5 scheme. Treatments consisted in the combination of N (urea) application by side dressing at five levels (0, 35, 70, 105, and 140 kg ha-1 of N) at three times (15, 30, and 15 + 30 days after plant emergence). Chlorophyll and N contents in leaves during the full flowering period were determined, as well as yields. All data were correlated to each other and to the N levels. The chlorophyll content presented a positive correlation with N leaf contents and with grain production. The portable chlorophyll meter proved its suitability as a tool to assess the nutritional state of N in bean plants.

O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito de fontes e do parcelamento de nitrogênio na produtividade do feijão "de inverno" e na qualidade fisiológica e uniformidade de suas sementes. O experimento foi instalado em área pertencente à Faculdade de Engenharia de Ilha Solteira - UNESP, no período de inverno. Foram estudados 14 tratamentos, constituídos por duas fontes de N (sulfato de amônio e uréia) e sete parcelamentos (0-0; 0-75; 15-60; 30-45; 45-30; 60-15 e 75-0 kg ha-1 de N, respectivamente, na semeadura e em cobertura). Toda a área experimental recebeu 60 kg ha-1 de P2O5 e 30 kg ha-1 de K2O como adubação básica. A qualidade fisiológica das sementes foi avaliada por meio do teste de germinação e testes de vigor. A aplicação de 75 kg ha-1 de nitrogênio propiciou, em média, incrementos de 38% na produtividade da cultura. O nitrogênio na semeadura e, ou, em cobertura não interferiu na produtividade do feijoeiro. Nas condições experimentais, a adubação com uréia e exclusivamente na semeadura seria a recomendada, tendo em vista uma única aplicação e a produtividade obtida. A aplicação de nitrogênio proporcionou a obtenção de maior quantidade de sementes comerciais, não sendo o modo de aplicação e a fonte consistentes quanto aos seus efeitos sobre o vigor das sementes.

Composted sewage sludge (CSS) is an organic fertilizer that can be used as a source of micronutrients in agriculture. However, there are few studies with CSS to supply micronutrients for the bean crop. We aimed to evaluate micronutrient concentrations in the soil and their effects on nutrition, extraction, export, and grain yield in response to CSS residual application. The experiment was carried out in the field at Selvíria-MS, Brazil. The common bean cv. BRS Estilo was cultivated in two agricultural years (2017/18 and 2018/19). The experiment was designed in randomized blocks with four replications. Six different treatments were compared: ( i ) four increasing CSS rates, i.e., CSS5.0 (5.0 t ha -1 of applied CSS, wet basis), CSS7.5, CSS10.0, CSS12.5; ( ii ) a conventional mineral fertilizer (CF); ( iii ) a control (CT) without CSS and CF application. The available levels of B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn were evaluated in soil samples collected in the 0-0.2 and 0.2-0.4 m soil surface horizons. The concentration, extraction, and export of micronutrients in the leaf and productivity of common beans were evaluated. The concentration of Cu, Fe, and Mn ranged from medium to high in soil. The available levels of B and Zn in the soil increased with the residual rates of CSS, which were statistically not different from the treatments with CF. The nutritional status of the common bean remained adequate. The common bean showed a higher requirement for micronutrients in the second year. The leaf concentration of B and Zn increased in the CSS7.5 and CSS10.0 treatments. There was a greater extraction of micronutrients in the second year. Productivity was not influenced by the treatments; however, it was higher than the Brazilian national average. Micronutrients exported to grains varied between growing years but were not influenced by treatments. We conclude that CSS can be used as an alternative source of micronutrients for common beans grown in winter.

Phosphorus (P) is a plant macronutrient that is indispensable for maize (Zea mays L.) production. However, P is difficult to manage in weathered soils, and its fertilization practice has low efficiency because it becomes unavailable for absorption by plant roots. Symbiosis of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increases plant growth and enhances P uptake from the soil that is not directly available to the roots. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine how inoculation with Rhizophagus intraradices and phosphate fertilization interacts and influences the development and productivity of second-crop maize. The experiment was conducted in Selvíria, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in 2019 and 2020, both in a Typic Haplorthox. A randomized block design in subdivided plots was used for the phosphate application during crop sowing (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% concentrations of the recommended level), and the secondary treatments were the doses of mycorrhizal inoculant (0, 60, 120 and 180 g ha -1 ) applied to the seed using a dry powder inoculant containing 20,800 infectious propagules per gram of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus R. intraradices. Only in the first year of the experiment, inoculation and phosphate fertilization promoted benefits to the maize crop, indicating potential to increase yield., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

Background: Chemical seed treatment is an established practice in agriculture to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens and pests. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) benefit plants by extending soil exploration as well as water and nutrient uptake. The objective of this work was to analyze the effects of combinations of seed treatments with doses of inoculant containing Rhizoglomus intraradices on vegetative development, root colonization and nutrition of Phaseolus vulgaris plants and soil microbiota., Results: Seed treatment benefited the vegetative development and nutrition of beans, with the treatments metalaxyl + fludioxonil + tiabendazole and pyraclostrobin + thiophanate methyl + fipronil standing out regarding the contents of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) of the aerial parts. Mycorrhizal inoculation linearly increased dehydrogenase activity, root biomass and total plant biomass, with increments reaching 27%. There was an interaction between seed treatment and inoculation dose for aboveground biomass and the contents of potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), manganese (Mn) and root colonization, with expressive results for the combination of the two highest doses of inoculant with metalaxyl + fludioxonil + tiabendazole or pyraclostrobin + methylthiophanate + fipronil in the seeds., Conclusion: Chemical seed treatment and mycorrhizal inoculation benefited bean plants and their nutritional status. The best combinations for the bean crop were metalaxyl + fludioxonil + tiabendazole with 41.4 mg of the inoculant per 100 seeds and pyraclostrobin + thiophanate methyl + fipronil with 62.1 mg of the inoculant per 100 seeds. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry., (© 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.)

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of interaction between nitrogen topdressing and different application ways (active ingredients) a.i. fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen in weed control and agronomic performance of common bean. The experiment was conducted during winter 2003 in Selvíria/MS. The experimental design used was a randomized block design with four replications in a factorial scheme 2 x 7. The first factor was composed by the absence or presence of nitrogen topdressing, while the second factor consisted of different application ways of fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen. The following variables were measured: leaf N content, dry matter of plants, yield components (number of pods plant(-1), number of grains plant(-1), the average number of grains pod(-1) and mass of 100 grains), grain yield, phytotoxicity and weed control percentage. The nitrogen topdressing with 75 kg ha(-1) provided higher dry matter of plants, higher weed control and higher common bean yield of irrigated winter. In the absence of nitrogen topdressing in the application of urea before or together to fluazifop-p-butyl + fomesafen increased their effectiveness in controlling weeds without interference in the agronomic performance of common bean.
