This crop is cultivated in large areas all over the country (Figure 1a). After 2001/02 growing season the Asian soybean rust (ASR) became a problem in all producing regions of the country, which remains till the present (Figure 1b). ASR is controlled by sequential applications of fungicides following a calendar-based system (Figure 1b), approach that considers only aspects of related to the crop, such as phenological phase, disregarding the influence of local weather conditions on the disease progress. Part of this problem is mainly related to the lack of weather data availability, limiting the use of disease warning systems based on these data. Based on that, the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of Asian warning system, based on rainfall data in different Brazilian regions.

In in Piracicaba and Ponta Grossa the system allowed to reduce the number of sprays and to keep the disease severity al least at the same level of the Calendar system. However, in Campo Verde the warning system was not effective for controlling ASR (Figure 5), which was mainly caused by the high disease pressure in this location during the experiment. Based on these results, we concluded that rainfall disease warning system for Asian soybean rust is a promising approach to rationalize sprays in this crop.

INTRODUCTION MATERIAL AND METHODS

RESULTS

Soybean is the most important agricultural crop in Brazil. This crop is

cultivated in large areas all over the country (Figure 1a). After 2001/02

growing season the Asian soybean rust (ASR) became a problem in all

producing regions of the country, which remains till the present (Figure 1b).

ASR is controlled by sequential applications of fungicides following a

calendar-based system (Figure 1b), approach that considers only aspects of

related to the crop, such as phenological phase, disregarding the influence of

local weather conditions on the disease progress. Part of this problem is

mainly related to the lack of weather data availability, limiting the use of

disease warning systems based on these data.

Based on that, the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of

Asian warning system, based on rainfall data in different Brazilian regions.

The experimental data was obtained from three trials

conducted in different Brazilian regions:

All experiments were conducted in a row spacing of 0.45 m

and a plant population of 270,000 plants ha-1. The

experiments were set in a randomized block design with four

repetitions (Figure 2a,b,c). At each experimental site, an

automatic weather station was installed close to the crop in

order to monitor weather conditions (Figure 2d).

Treatments:

- TEST - unsprayed check treatment;

- CALEND - calendar-based sprays

with a 14-day interval from R1 stage;

- PREC system, with threshold for

50% severity cut-off. (Fungicide: Azoxistrobina +

Benzovindiflupir, 150 g ha-1).

Disease assessment was constantly made. At the end of the

experiment the yield was evaluated.

For all locations, it was observed that the TEST treatment exhibit

higher disease levels (Figure 3a,b; Table 1).

Analyzing two different approaches for controlling ASR, it was

observed different sprays timing (Table 1), probably due to

different meteorological conditions (Figure 4a, b, c, d, e, f).

In all locations the disease warning system based on rainfall data

proved to have a better performance in relation to the Calendar. In

in Piracicaba and Ponta Grossa the system allowed to reduce the

number of sprays and to keep the disease severity al least at the

same level of the Calendar system. However, in Campo Verde the

warning system was not effective for controlling ASR (Figure 5),

which was mainly caused by the high disease pressure in this

location during the experiment. Based on these results, we

concluded that rainfall disease warning system for Asian soybean

rust is a promising approach to rationalize sprays in this crop.
