Efeitos e formas de aplicação de Bacillus subtilis no controle de nematoides em cana-de-açúcar

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate two methods of application of Bacillus subtilis in biological control of nematodes in two varieties of sugarcane by comparing with the conventional chemical control. The experiment was conducted in the municipality of Caiabu in an area with nematode infestation. Two genotypes of sugarcane which the action of nematodes were used in the experiment SP81-3250 and RB867515. The employee was a randomized complete block design with five replications. Treatments were two genotypes of sugarcane combined with four ways to control nematodes (carbofuran, B. subtilis applied at planting, B. subtilis applied in post -emergence control and without the application of chemical or biological nematicide) total of 40 plots. During the conduct of the culture three assessments for quantification of nematodes on the roots was carried out. Was also carried out an assessment of chlorophyll content, tillering and biomass energy potential by the calorimeter method at 180 days after planting. At harvest yield was determined and made technological analysis of sugarcane. Chemical and biological control with carbofuran with Bacillus subtilis were effective for controlling nematodes reviews. There were no differences in the efficiency of the control in the evaluation of two forms of application of bacteria in soil. There increments Brix and Pol in variety SP81-3250 when we applied the treatment with B. subtlis.
