    Interaction of K and B in the intensity of coffee rust in nutrient solution

    This study aimed at assessing the interaction of potassium (K) and boron (B) in the coffee rust intensity in a nutrient solution. The experiment which was performed in a greenhouse was set up in the randomized complete block design (DBC) with four replicates. The experimental unit involved a single vase with two Catuaí Vermelho (IAC 144) cultivars. The treatments included five doses of boron (0.05, 0.50, 1, 2 and 4 mg L-1 ) and five of potassium (4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 mmol L-1 ), totaling to 25 treatments in a factorial variance analysis. All the coffee seedling leaves were inoculated with Hemileia vastatrix. For the next 24 hours, the vases were covered with a black plastic bag, and left in the greenhouse to ensure favorable conditions for the fungal infection. A significant interaction was observed between the potassium (K) and boron (B) nutrients in coffee rust intensity. As the boron dose increased from 0.05 to 2.0 mg L-1 , the coffee rust intensity was observed to rise. From the 0.50 mg L-1 dose of B a drastic drop in the dry plant mass was observed, which reached zero index at the highest boron dose due to phytotoxicity.

    Effect of light and temperature on Cercospora coffeicola and Coffea arabica pathosystem
    (Editora UFLA, 2016-04) Silva, Marília Goulart da; Pozza, Edson Ampélio; Monteiro, Fernando Pereira; Lima, Caio Vítor Rodrigues Vaz de
    The mycelial growth rate (MGR), in vitro production of cercosporin, and intensity (incidence and severity) of Cercospora leaf spot on coffee seedlings ‘Catuaí Vermelho IAC 144’ were evaluated under different light intensities (80, 160, 240, and 320 μmol m -2 s -1 ) and temperatures (17, 21, 25, and 29°C). Dark condition (0 μmol m -2 s -1 ) was also included in in vitro experiments. In vivo, were evaluated incidence, severity, rates of chlorophyll a, b, ​​and total in healthy (without symptoms) and sick tissues (with symptoms), and the photosynthetic rate and variables affecting it, were also evaluated. All the experiments were done at least two times. In in vitro experiments, the highest mycelial growth rate (MGR) was observed at 24.1°C in the dark condition (0 μmol m -2 s -1 ), while the highest amount of toxin occurred at 24.9°C and light intensity 320 μmol m -2 s -1 . When dishes were incubated in the dark, the lowest levels of cercosporin were produced by the pathogen, regardless of temperature, thus confirming the importance of light in the activation of toxin production. In in vivo experiments, the highest incidence and severity progress of the disease were observed at 21°C. With respect to the amounts of chlorophyll a, b, and total, regardless of treatment, the lowest levels were found in the area of the leaf with symptons compared to the area without symptoms. Photosynthesis correlated positively with temperature and negatively with internal carbon. These results elucidate the effect of the interaction between temperature and light intensity, contributing to future studies with this pathosystem.
