Orientador: Ulisses Rocha Antuniassi / Banca: Otavio Jorge Grigoli Abi-Saab / Banca: Caio Antonio Carbonari / Resumo: A demanda de pesquisa em adjuvantes no Brasil é crescente, uma vez que esses produtos são classificados em um único grupo dentro dos sistemas de classificação de defensivos agrícolas. Por isso, torna-se imprescindível o conhecimento do comportamento dos diferentes adjuvantes em função da interferência que causam na calda de pulverização, afetando o processo de formação de gotas, influenciando diretamente na qualidade da pulverização. Essas variações são também influenciadas pelo modelo de ponta de pulverização e pelos defensivos agrícolas utilizados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar as interações entre as características físicas das caldas (tensão superficial e viscosidade) e os parâmetros do espectro de gotas gerados por pontas hidráulicas de jato plano com e sem indução de ar e correlacionar essas variáveis visando um entendimento maior do comportamento das caldas contendo herbicidas isolados ou em mistura e com adição ou não de adjuvantes. A análise do espectro de gotas dos tratamentos foi feita simulando a pulverização em laboratório e as gotas avaliadas por um analisador de partículas em tempo real. As características físicas da calda avaliadas foram viscosidade, tensão superficial estática e tensão superficial dinâmica. Os tratamentos foram compostos por glyphosate, 2,4-D e três adjuvantes tensoativos e as pontas utilizadas foram XR 11002 (sem indução de ar) e AIXR 11002 (com indução de ar). Para todos os tratamentos, a ponta AIXR 11002 gerou o maior tamanho de ...

Therefore, it is necessary to know the behavior of different adjuvants interfering in the tank mix, affecting the process of droplet formation, directly influencing the quality of the application. These variations are also influenced by the nozzle model and the pesticides used. The objective of this work was to determine the interactions between the physical characteristics of the spray mix (superficial tension and viscosity) and the parameters of the droplet spectrum generated by hydraulic jet nozzles with and without air induction and to correlate these variables for a better understanding of the behavior of the tank mix containing herbicides with or without adjuvants. The droplet spectrum analysis of the treatments was done simulating a pulverization in the laboratory and the drops evaluated by a particles analyzer in real time. The physical characteristics evaluated were dynamic and static surface tension and viscosity. The treatments were composed by glyphosate, 2,4-D and three surfactant adjuvants and the nozzles used were XR 11002 (without air induction) and AIXR 11002 (with air induction). For all treatments, the AIXR 11002 nozzle generated the largest droplet size compared to the XR 11002 nozzle, relying on its positioning as a drift reduction technique. For physicochemical characteristics, the mixture between ... / Mestre

No entanto, estudos que comparam diferentes moléculas, a fim de identificarem padrões de comportamento são escassos. Portanto, estudos que relacionam o padrão de absorbância com a radiação solar disponível, buscando estimar o potencial de fotodegradação de defensivos, são inexistentes na literatura. Nesse contexto, esse trabalho estudou a absorção de luz por diferentes herbicidas e metabólitos com o objetivo de prever a sensibilidade desses compostos à fotólise em condições de campo e a necessidade de utilizar manejos ou tecnologias que possam reduzir a degradação por efeito da luz. Foram investigadas 36 substâncias, correspondendo a herbicidas e seus metabólitos. Cada solução foi analisada por meio de varredura das absorbâncias das substâncias na faixa de 185 a 900nm (Ultravioleta (UV)/ Visível (VIS)/Infra vermelho(IF)). Posteriormente, o potencial de cada comprimento de onda em promover a fotólise de um composto específico foi determinado multiplicando-se a disponibilidade de luz no espectro solar padrão e a absorbância observada na solução padronizada desse composto no mesmo comprimento de onda. De acordo com os resultados, cada substância apresentou faixas de comprimento de ondas com maior potencial de absorção, especialmente na região do VIS e com outros estudos permitirão avaliar quais compostos podem ser utilizados para protegê-las. Assim, foi possível agrupar as substancias ... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: Each substance has a specific response pattern when subjected to solar radiation. However, studier comparing differente molecules in order do identify behavior patterns are scarce. Therefore, studies that relate the absorbance pattern to the available solar radiation, seeking to estimate the photodegradation potential of pesticides are not available in the literature. In this context, this work studied the absorption of light by different herbicides and metabolites in order to predict the sensitivity of these compounds to photolysis underf field conditions and the need to use care or technologies that can reduce light degradation. There were investigated 36 substances, corresponding to herbicides and thei metabolites. Each solution was analyzed by scanning the absorbances of substances in the range of 185 to 900 nm (UV/VIS/IF). Subsequently, the potential of each wavelength promoting the photolysis of a specific compound was determined by multiplying the light availability in the standard solar spectrum and the observed absorbance in the standard solution of that compound at the same wavelenght. According to the results, each substance showed wavelenght ranges with greater absorption potential, and with other studier, it will be possible to evaluate which compounds can be used to protect them. Thus, it was possible to group the substances in relation to the photodegradation index in descending order in the UVA, UVB and UVC radiation range.

As aplicações de herbicidas são realizadas durante todo do ano e podem estar sujeitas à ação das condições climáticas, como por exemplo, a temperatura. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito da temperatura da calda de pulverização sobre a eficácia de controle de herbicidas aplicados em diferentes espécies de plantas daninhas, bem como nas características físicas da pulverização. Para isso, foram realizados experimentos avaliando cinco temperaturas da calda (5, 10, 20, 30 e 40°C) contendo herbicidas. Os experimentos de eficácia e controle foram conduzidos no Departamento de Proteção Vegetal da FCA /UNESP - Campus de Botucatu. Seis espécies de plantas daninhas (Conyza sp, Amaranthus viridis, Richardia brasiliensis, Digitaria insularis, Digitaria horizontalis e Eleusine indica) foram submetidas a pulverizações de herbicidas (Glyphosate, Glufosinato de amônio, 2,4-D amine, Lactofen, Haloxyfop-methyl e Cletodim) nas cinco temperaturas da calda. A pulverização foi realizada com o auxílio de pulverizador propelido a ar comprimido, equipado com pontas de pulverização de jato plano, modelo AXI 11002, sob pressão de 138 kPa, e velocidade de trabalho de 7,0 km h-1, fornecendo uma taxa de aplicação de 98 L ha-1.

The herbicides applications can be made during the whole year and it may be subject to the action of climatic conditions such as temperature. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the temperature effect on the spray solution at the moment of spraying on the herbicides efficacy applied in different weeds species control, as well as on the physical characteristics of spraying. Some experiments were performed to evaluate five spray solution temperatures (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40° C) containing herbicides. The experiments involving the weed control were conducted in the Department of Plant Protection from Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), School of Agronomy, Botucatu. Six species of weeds (Conyza sp, Richardia brasiliensis, Amaranthus viridis, Digitaria insularis, Digitaria horizontalis and Eleusine indica), were sprayed with herbicides (glyphosate, glufosinato-ammonium, 2,4-D amine, lactofen, haloxyfop-methyl e clethodim) at the five temperatures of the spray mixture. It was carried out using a compressed-air sprayer, fitted with flat-fan nozzles, model AXI 11002, at 138 kPa of pressure, and operating at 7.0 km h-1, providing a spray rate of 98 L ha-1. The spray mixture temperature was adjusted using a water bath until it reaches the ideal temperature, and, thus, the herbicide was added for application. From this experiment, it was evaluated: spray deposition through a water sensitive card, weed control and its dry mass reduction percentage. The spray solution characteristics, like: surface tension and contact angle from the spray solution in different temperatures, were evaluated in another experiment which was conducted in the spraying technology laboratory of São Paulo State University (UNESP), School of Agricultural and Veterinarian Sciences, Jaboticabal city.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a seletividade de diferentes herbicidas sobre a cultura do milho com a tecnologia EnList. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em campo e casa de vegetação. Os herbicidas aplicados foram: haloxyfop-methyl, 2,4-D, e glyphosate. Os ensaios realizados em casa-de-vegetação foram organizados em delineamento inteiramente casualisado, constituídos por cinco repetições. Os herbicidas foram aplicados em pós-emergência (V4), e obteve-se as seguintes variáveis: taxa de transporte de elétrons do Fotossistema II (Electron Transport Rate - ETR), injúria visual, e altura aos 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias após aplicação (DAA). Aos 28 DAA, foram coletadas as plantas para a obtenção da massa seca final. Os experimentos 1 e 2 corresponderam a aplicação de todos os herbicidas acima, tanto de forma isolada como em misturas. Neste mesmo estudo, foi instalado um ensaio adicional a campo para testar os parâmetros produtivos, porém com a adição de amônio-glufosinato. Os demais experimentos constituíram-se de ensaios de dose-resposta para cada um dos três herbicidas estudados, comparando-se um material com a tecnologia EnList, e sua isolinha sem o gene aad-1.

In addition, it presents glyphosate and ammonium-glufosinate resistance. The objective of this research was to assess the selectivity of different herbicides for EnListTM maize. The experiments were conducted both in the field and in greenhouse. The herbicides applied were: haloxyfop-methyl, 2,4-D, and glyphosate. The greenhouse treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design and consisted of five replications. The herbicides were applied in post-emergence (V4), and the variables obtained were: Electron transport rate of photosystem II (Electron Transport Rate - ETR), visual injury, and plant height at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after application (DAA). At 28 DAA, the plants were cut for obtaining the final dry mass. The experiments 1 and 2 corresponded to the application of all the herbicides cited above, both alone and in mixtures. In this same study, an additional field trial was conducted for testing the production parameters, adding ammonium-glufosinate to some treatments. The other experiments consisted of dose-response assays for each of the herbicides cited, comparing a material with the EnListTM technology, and its isoline (non aad-1 material). The experiments 3 and 4 referred to increasing doses of 2,4-D application, which were: 0; 456; 912; 1.824; 3,648 and 7,296 g a.e ha-1. Experiments 5 and 6 corresponded to the following doses of haloxyfop-methyl: 0; 63; 126; 252; 504 and 1.008 g a.i ha-1, and in addition to the variables above, the total lipid content was analyzed by ethereal extract analysis. In experiment 7, six doses of glyphosate (0; 480; 960; 1,920; 3,840; 5,760 g a.a ha-1) were tested for each material. In the first study, the applications did not result on visual injuries or decrease of the other parameters, such as yield ... / Mestre

In this study, the ability of various chemicals to be biotransformed into mutagens by plant cells was investigated. Two thiocarbamate herbicides, diallate and triallate, the sulfonylurea herbicide chlorsulfuron, and the aniline derivative m-phenylenediamine were tested for their ability to revert Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA100 and TA98) in the presence and absence of Nicotiana tabacum (TX1) cell cultures in liquid suspension. Chlorsulfuron and m-phenylenediamine were also tested in the presence and absence of Brassica napus cv. 'Topas' cells. Diallate was found to be activated by TX1 cells into a mutagen that induces base-pair substitution mutations. In the presence of the TX1 plant cell line, chlorsulfuron significantly increased the number of mutations on the strain TA98 of Salmonella. Tobacco TX1 cells did not activate triallate into a mutagen. m-Phenylenediamine was activated into a mutagen by TX1 and Brassica cells as detected by Salmonella TA98. This aniline derivative, in the absence of plant cells and at concentrations higher than 20 $ mu$ Moles/plate, was also able to significantly increase the number of TA98 revertants as compared to the control plants. Finally, Brassica napus cells activated chlorsulfuron into a mutagen that induces frameshift mutations.
