Interaction between pesticides applied alone or in mixtures in corn.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the selectivity of herbicides applied alone or in tank mix, and also of combinations of different classes of pesticides (fungicides, herbicides and insecticides) on corn. An experiment was installed in the 2017/18 crop to assess herbicide selectivity, and repeated in 2018/19. The second experiment aimed to assess the selectivity of mixtures of different classes of pesticides, and was installed only in 2017/18.

Selectivity of metsulfuron applied to soybean before sowing in different intervals and soils.

This work aimed to evaluate the selectivity of the herbicide metsulfuron applied at different times on the development of soybeans grown in soils with different characteristics. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, in a factorial scheme (4 x 4), with four replicates. Factor A was application time (0, 15, 30, and 45 days before sowing, DBS) and factor B was soil type (Erechim, Itaqui, Piratini, and Santa Maria).
