Screening of Beneficial Microorganisms to Improve Soybean Growth and Yield

Abstract The objective of this research was to identify the best microorganisms, alone or in mixture for total biomass gain (root + shoot), positive change in gas exchange, nutrient uptake (root, shoot and grain) and yield and yield components in the soybean crop. Trial under greenhouse conditions had th...

Isolation of entomopathogenic nematodes in the west region of Santa Catarina, Brazil

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are potential candidate for integrated pest management programs. As little is known about the presence of these organisms in the state of Santa Catarina, it was aimed to perform soil sampling in the cities of Chapecó, Palmitos, Seara and Concordia for the isolation of E...

Exposure of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) to pollen grains of soybean plants (Glycine max L) originated from treated seeds

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
Residues of plant protection products have been reported in floral resources such as pollen, but the potential risks of pollinator exposure are still unclear. Therefore, studies are needed to assess the risk of exposure/intoxication of bees, as they collect these resources to maintain their colony. The p...

Susceptibility of soybean looper to lufenuron and spinosad

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
The soybean looper (Chrysodeixis includens) is an important defoliation pest in crops such as soybean and cotton in Brazil. Its main control tactic is chemical insecticides. Considering the importance of chemical control for this pest, monitoring the susceptibility of C. includens populations is strategi...

Soil biomass and microbial activity in soybean crop area under different cover crops and different soil correction systems

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (6), 2019
This study aimed to evaluate soil biomass and microbial activity and soybean yield under different limestone and gypsum doses and different cover crops. The experiment was carried out in the experimental area of the Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa Agropecuária de Chapadão, on a Dystrophic Red Latosol, ...

Quality of silage produced from intercropped corn RR and soybeans RR

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (6), 2019
The objective of this study was to produce silage from intercropped RR glyphosate tolerant corn (RR - Roundup Ready) and RR soybeans under Brazilian Cerrado conditions. The research was carried out in off-season between February and June 2015, in Rio Verde, Goiás (Brazil). In the experimenta...

Soybean has great economic importance in the world accordingly, this legume has been exploited in breeding programs aiming to provide cultivars with extensive grain yield, tolerant to pests and diseases, and adapted to different soil and climatic conditions. Therefore, ...

Phytochemical screening and toxicity of Crambe abyssinica Hochst extracts on Solanum lycopersicum L., Euphorbia heterophylla L., Bidens pilosa L. and Glycine max (L. ) Merril

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (5), 2019
This study aimed to identify the main groups of secondary compounds from Crambe abyssinica and evaluate the bioactivity of the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts on the seed germination and seedling development of tomato, wild poinsettia, hairy beggartick and ...

Fungicide spray coverage and deposition in soybean asian rust management

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (5), 2019
At maximum vegetative growth, sprays with fungicide to control Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi Sydow and P. Sydow) should reach high canopy penetration and plant coverage. Therefore, the central objective of this study was to determine leaf area, spray deposition, and plant coverag...

Adaptability and stability of soybean cultivars in four sowing seasons

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (5), 2019
In recent decades, the expansion of soybean production in Brazil has been observed. This advance was motivated by the search of environments with better cultivation conditions, as well as the development of genotypes with wide adaptation. The diversity of "environments...
