RESUMEN
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of low doses of 2,4-D on the agronomic traits of upland rice applied at different stages of crop growth. The work was carried out in a randomized completly blocks, and consisted of the application of 5 low doses of the 2,4-D herbicide (0, 0.68, 1.36, 2.04, 3.40 and 5.44 g acid equivalent (e.a.) ha-1) in two stages of rice development (tillering and floral differentiation). Nitrogen contentes in leaves, SPAD index and yield are higher when low doses of 2,4-D is applied in the tillering stage. Application of 2,4-D at a dose of 2.04 g a.e ha-1 results in a 19% increase in the number of spikelet per panicle. On the other hand, there is no effect of the application of low doses of 2,4-D on height, number of stems, active tillering and weight of 100 seeds. Our results contribute to increase knowledge of the hormesis effect in plants in order to increase crop yield.

The aim of this research was to verify the effect of glyphosate low doses on leaf macronutrient levels and vegetative traits of upland rice in two growth stages. The treatments were arranged in 2 × 6 factorial scheme. The first factor consisted of applications in two growth stages of rice crop (tillering and floral differentiation) and the second factor was the low doses of glyphosate (0, 10, 20, 40, 70 and 100 g e.a. ha-1). In full bloom, the chlorophyll content was determined in a sample of 30 flag leaves. In these leaves, the contents of macronutrients were determined. At the maturity of the rice plant, the stem count was performed per m2, effective tiller and the plant height was measured. The low doses did not influence the leaf content of macronutrients. The plant height was reduced with an increase in the low doses of glyphosate, having a greater effect on the floral differentiation stage. When applied low doses of glyphosate at the floral differentiation stage, chlorophyll content increases and when applied to tillering there is a linear decrease in chlorophyll content. The number of stems increases with the application of low doses at floral differentiation.
