Abstract

Pratylenchus brachyurus stands out among the major importance nematodes for the national agriculture, due your difficulty of control. Thus, the study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of resistance inductors in the nematode management in resistant and susceptible maize. It was studied the inductors acibenzolar-S-metil, Ecolife™ and manganese phosphite. The experiment was conducted in a factorial arrangement (2 × 4) composed for two maize genotypes (resistant and susceptible to nematode). Each inductor was applied, singly, seven days and one day before inoculation and seven days after inoculation to nematode. Untreated plants were used as control. The inductor Acibenzolar-S-metil was efficient to reduce the nematode population in both genotypes. Ecolife™ promoted the nematode reduction in susceptible genotype while the results were variable for manganese phosphite. In general, the inductors showed no significant effect on plant development and the same factor mainly affected by genotype.
