RESUMO

Inoculation and co-inoculation of upland rice with multifunctional rhizobacteria can promote plant growth, especially the root system. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of inoculation and co-inoculation with Azospirillum sp. and Bacillus sp. in the early development of upland rice. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 10 replications, totaling 40 plots. The treatments were: 1) Ab-V5 (Azospirillum brasilense), 2) BRM 63573 (Bacillus sp.), 3) co-inoculation of Ab-V5 + BRM 63573, and 4) control (without rhizobacteria). Inoculation and co-inoculation with the multifunctional rhizobacteria Ab-V5 and BRM 63573 provided positive effects on the initial development of upland rice. Inoculation with isolate BRM 63573 had significant effects on root length, shoot, and total biomass, while inoculation with isolate Ab-V5 had significant effects on root length and production of root and total biomass. Co-inoculation treatment had significant effects on variables such as diameter, volume, total surface, root biomass, and total biomass. The control treatment (without multifunctional rhizobacteria) had the worst results for most of the analyzed variables.

A inoculação e coinoculação do arroz de terras altas com rizobactérias multifuncionais pode promover o crescimento das plantas, especialmente do sistema radicular. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da inoculação e coinoculação com Azospirillum sp. e Bacillus sp. no desenvolvimento inicial do arroz de terras altas. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 4 tratamentos e 10 repetições, totalizando 40 parcelas. Os tratamentos foram: 1) Ab-V5 (Azospirillum brasilense), 2) BRM 63573 (Bacillus sp.), 3) coinoculação de Ab-V5 + BRM 63573 e 4) controle (sem rizobactérias). A inoculação e coinoculação com as rizobactérias multifuncionais Ab-V5 e BRM 63573 proporcionaram efeitos positivos no desenvolvimento inicial do arroz de terras altas. A inoculação com o isolado BRM 63573 teve efeitos significativos no comprimento da raiz, parte aérea e biomassa total, enquanto a inoculação com o isolado Ab-V5 teve efeitos significativos no comprimento da raiz e produção de raiz e biomassa total. O tratamento com coinoculação teve efeitos significativos em variáveis como diâmetro, volume e superfície total de raiz e biomassa de raiz e total. O tratamento controle (sem rizobactérias multifuncionais) apresentou os piores resultados para a maioria das variáveis analisadas.

RESUMO

Pyricularia oryzae is the etiological agent of rice blast, the most destructive disease in rice crops and chemical control based on fungicide is the main method used in its management. The aim of this study was characterize pathogenicity and identify P. oryzae isolates adapted to tricyclazole. P. oryzae monosporic isolates were collected in the state of Tocantins and inoculated in international differentiating series of rice cultivars for determination of pathotypes. After, the same isolates were inoculated in the rice cultivar IRGA 424 to evaluate resistance to fungicide Bim® 750 BR (Tricyclazole - 250 g/ha) that was applied 24 and 48 hours after pathogen inoculation (hai). Leaf blast severity and infection efficiency were evaluated 9 days after inoculation (dai), latency period (2 dai) and sporulation intensity (7 dai). Nine different pathotypes were identified, predominantly as IA group. The latent period of isolates occurred between from 48 to 120 h. The application of tricyclazole, 24 hai reduced disease severity with the exception of the isolate Py 7.1. The great variability of the pathogen allowed for adaptation to this molecule and can increase its aggressiveness and should be considered to guide the integrated management of the disease.

RESUMO

This study aimed to identify four isolates of Trichoderma sp. (Ufra.T06, Ufra.T09, Ufra.T12, and Ufra.T52) and characterize their interaction with Magnaporthe oryzae in vitro and in vivo conditions. The four isolates of Trichoderma sp. were sequenced, investigated as an antagonist against M. oryzae in five Petri plate assays, and as an inhibitor of conidial germination appressoria formation. Finally, were quantified the lytic activity of chitinase (CHI), glucanase (GLU), and protease (PRO) during co-cultivation of Trichoderma sp. and M. oryzae. In vivo, leaf blast suppression was evaluated in two assays: simultaneous and curative application. Both in vitro and in vivo assays were scanned by electron microscopy (SEM). All isolates were identified as Trichoderma asperellum. All in vitro Petri plates assays reduced M. oryzae colony growth (paired-91.18% by Ufra.T09, volatile metabolites-all isolates equally reduced, non-volatile-68.33% by Ufra.T06, thermostability-99.77% by Ufra.T52 and co-cultivate-64.25% by Ufra.T52). The filtrates and conidia suspensions for T. asperellum isolates inhibited the conidia germination and appressoria formation significantly. In co-cultivate (mycelial or cell wall), all enzymes (GLU, CHI, and PRO) and times (24, 48, and 72 h) showed increased activity. In vivo, reduced leaf blast severity until 94.64% (Ufra.T52cs) in a simultaneous and until 85% (Ufra.T09 24 and 48 hasi) in a curative application. T. asperellum isolates showed efficient control of M. oryzae by mycoparasitism, and antibiosis mechanisms were interfered with by the M. oryzae infection process.
