Resumo -O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a eficiência agronômica da inoculação de sementes de trigo e de milho com Azospirillum brasilense, em associação à adubação nitrogenada. Sete tratamentos foram avaliados, associando a inoculação com aplicação de nitrogênio (N), sob delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com 4 repetições, totalizando 28 unidades experimentais com área individual de 27,2 m 2 . Na cultura do trigo foi avaliado o número de perfilhos por planta, número de espigas por metro quadrado, número de grãos por espiga, rendimento de massa seca e grãos, massa de mil grãos e peso hectolitro. No milho foi analisado o diâmetro de colmo, área foliar, índice de área foliar, altura de plantas, rendimento de grãos, massa de mil grãos, diâmetro e comprimento de espigas. Os resultados demonstraram que a inoculação não representou ganhos nos diferentes atributos avaliados. A associação da inoculação com adubação com N mineral aumentou a produtividade e a produção de matéria seca. A redução pela metade da adubação de N em cobertura, quando associada à inoculação, não afetou a resposta das culturas nos diferentes atributos avaliados. Conclui-se que a inoculação apresenta boa resposta nas culturas de trigo e milho quando associada à adubação nitrogenada.

Seven treatments were evaluated, involving inoculation with nitrogen (N), under design of a randomized block design with four replications, totaling 28 experimental units with individual area of 27,2 m². In wheat crop was rated the number of tillers per plant, number of ears per square meter, number of grains per spike, dry matter yield and grain, thousand grain weight and hectoliter weight. Maize was analyzed the stem diameter, leaf area, leaf area index, plant height, grain yield, thousand grain weight, diameter and length of spikes. The results showed that inoculation did not represent gains in different attributes evaluated. The association inoculation with fertilization with mineral N increased productivity and production of dry matter. The reduction by half of the fertilizer nitrogen in when associated with inoculation did not affect the response of crops in different attributes evaluated. It is concluded that the inoculation presents good response in wheat and corn crops when associated with nitrogen fertilization.

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is considered a disease of difficult control in a scenery of obstacles for its chemical control and due to the aggressiveness of its pathogen in producing toxins. Thus, the objective of this study was to verify if fungicides of different chemical groups, alone or in combination, are effective in controlling fusarium head blight and reducing deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in wheat grains. In addition, pyraclostrobin alone was evaluated for possible changes on fusarium head blight intensity and DON accumulation reflecting on the yield. The experiments were conducted in the field, in a randomized block design, containing 11 treatments and four replicates, using the cultivar TBIO Toruk. The treatments were composed of the fungicides triazole, strobilurin and benzimidazole alone, besides the commercial mixture of triazole + strobilurin. Two fungicide applications were performed during the crop flowering. Fusarium head blight intensity, control efficacy, DON contamination and grain yield were evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (F-Test at 5%) and means were compared according to Scott-Knott test, at 5%. Carbendazim alone presented greater control efficacy in the two studied years (67% and 75%, respectively), differing from metconazole and pyraclostrobin. Pyraclostrobin at different doses and application stages changed fusarium head blight intensity, DON contamination and wheat grain yield.
