Defoliation percentage in two soybean cultivars at different growth stages

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic variables due to the effects of different levels of defoliation in the phenological phases of two soybean cultivars. The experiment was conducted during the 2011/2012 season, in a randomized block design with three replicates, in a 2...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic variables due to the effects of different levels of defoliation in the phenological phases of two soybean cultivars. The experiment was conducted during the 2011/2012 season, in a randomized block design with three replicates, in a 2 x 4 x 5 factorial scheme. Two cultivars were exposed to defoliations of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% at the stages of V4, V9, R3 and R5. The cultivar 'NK 7059RR' showed less sensitivity to defoliation than the cultivar 'IN 4990RG'. 25% defoliation levels reduced the yield of the cultivar 'IN 4990RG', while levels of 75 and 100% reduce the number of grains per pod in both cultivars. The defoliation performed in the V4 stage lead to lower grain yield than defoliation in V9. The most sensitive stages to defoliation are R3 and R5, where there is a greater reduction in the production potential of soybeans. RESUMO Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, avaliar as variáveis agronômicas em função dos efeitos de diferentes níveis de desfolha nas fases fenológicas de duas cultivares de soja. O experimento foi conduzido durante a safra 2011/12 e o delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com três repetições, em esquema fatorial 2 x 4 x 5, ou seja, duas cultivares foram submetidas à desfolha nos estádios V4, V9, R3 e R5 com porcentagens de 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%. A cultivar 'NK 7059RR' apresentou menor sensibilidade à desfolha do que a cultivar 'NA 4990RG'. Níveis de 25% de desfolha reduziram a produtividade da cultivar 'NA 4990RG' enquanto que níveis de 75 e 100% reduzem o número de grãos por vagem nas duas cultivares. As desfolhas realizadas no estádio V4 acarretam em menor produtividade do que quando realizadas no estádio V9; os estádios mais sensíveis à desfolha são R3 e R5, ocorrendo maior redução no potencial produtivo da soja.
