Description
Summary:Anthracnose causes high damages in soybean yield, mainly in warm and wet regions. This study was aimed to evaluate the resistance of various soybean varieties to Colletotrichum truncatum. To obtain the inoculum, the isolate was seeded in Petri dishes with PDA culture medium. Seeds of 19 soybean varieties remained in contact with the fungus for 16 and 40 hours in the dishes. Then they were planted in pots. The evaluations were made through the count of seedlings 15 days after emergence. The results showed that the contact period of 40 hours was too drastic to evaluate the reaction of the varieties. In the case of contact of seeds with the pathogen for 16 hours, it was possible to distinguish 4 groups, the most resistant soybean varieties being MSOY 8001, Conquista, MSOY 8400, Engopa and Vencedora; while CD 207, Embrapa 48 and BRS 183 were the most susceptible ones.Original Abstract: A antracnose causa danos severos na producao de soja, principalmente em regioes quentes e umidas. Um dos sintomas da antracnose, a morte das plantulas, esta associado a sementes infectadas ou contaminacao por restos de culture. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a resistencia de variedades de soja a morte de plantulas causada por Colletotrichum truncatum. Para a multiplicacao do inoculo, o isolado do fungo foi repicado para placas de Petri contendo meio BDA. Sementes de 19 variedades permaneceram em contato com o fungo por 16 e 40h nas placas. Apos os periodos, as sementes foram semeadas em vasos e as avaliacoes foram realizadas por meio da contagem do numero de plantulas aos 15 dias apos a emergencia. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o periodo de contato de 40h foi muito drastico para avaliar a reacao das variedades. Pelo contato das sementes com o patogeno por 16h foi possivel diferenciar 4 grupos, sendo as mais resistentes MSOY 8001, Conquista, MSOY 8400, Engopa e Vencedora; e CD 207, Embrapa 48 e BRS 183 as mais suscetiveis.
