Reação de híbridos de milho à podridão dos grãos causada por Stenocarpella macrospora e Stenocarpella maydis, em diferentes ambientes do Brasil

Abstract

This work evaluated the reaction of 140 corn hybrids from double-haploid inbred derived from a crossing of a resistant inbred line with and susceptible inbred line. Being that, crossed with a conventional susceptible line which were inoculated with Stenocarpella maydis and Stenocarpella macrospora .The hybrids were assessed in three locations in the Miner Triangle and three locations in Southern Brazil to evaluate the difference of hybrids reaction to S. macrospora and S. maydis. Two analysis were performed, one of the three locations in the Miner Triangle and one of the three locations in the South for the separation of five resistant hybrids, five average resistance and five susceptible to rot grain for the two locations. About the incidence of rot grain obtained from the hybrids, the quantification of S. macrospora, S.maydis and other fungi were done in the laboratory for the Miner Triangle and South of Brazil. In a joint analysis in the Miner Triangle it was found a frequency of 60% S. macrospora, 10% S.maydis and 30% other fungi. And in a joint analysis of South Brazil found 20% S. macrospora, 11% S.maydis and 69% of other fungi. The pathogen hybrid interaction showed the prevalence of S. macrospora in incidence of infected grains, with 60% in the Miner Triangle and 20% in the South, against S. maydis with 10% in the Miner Triangle and 11% in south of Brazil. These results showed that there were differences between the two places regarding the rotten grain caused by S. macrospora and S. maydis. Thus, positioning breeding programs in the pathosystem Stenocarpella-corn.
