Abstract (es)

Crop management and herbicide rotation have influenced the sustainability of production systems. The cover crops use and pre-and post-emergence herbicides are important tools that help farmers’ strategies and conserve the agricultural system. In this context, the objective of this research was to evaluate the dry matter production of different cover crops before the establishment of corn, the effect on decreasing weed population, and the increase in corn yield. In addition, the influence of pre-and post-emergence herbicides on summer cultivation, observing the behavior concerning weeds, crop injury, and crop yield. The experiment was conducted during the years 2018-2019 in Sertão/RS - Brazil. The experimental arrangement was of randomized blocks with four replications. The treatments used were three different winter cover crops preceding corn cultivation × four preemergence herbicides × four post-emergence herbicides, totaling 192 experimental units. Going through the results, atrazine and atrazine + simazine used in pre-emergence had more influence on weed number reduction, and the post-emergence ammonium glufosinate herbicide promoted the highest weed control in post-emergence. Amicarbazone and glyphosate resulted in the best combination for corn yield using in pre-and post-emergence, respectively. Rye + turnip + vetch as cover crop resulted in higher biomass production, more significant weed number reduction, and increase corn yield.

El manejo de cultivos y la rotación de herbicidas han influido en la sostenibilidad de los sistemas de producción. El uso de cultivos de cobertura y herbicidas de pre y post-emergencia son herramientas importantes que ayudan a los agricultores a desarrollar estrategias y conservar el sistema agrícola. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar diferentes cultivos de cobertura previos al establecimiento del cultivo de maíz en relación con la producción de materia seca, el efecto en la disminución de la población de malezas y el aumento del rendimiento del maíz. Además, la influencia de los herbicidas de pre y postemergencia en el cultivo de verano, observándose el comportamiento en relación a malezas, daño al cultivo y rendimiento del cultivo. El experimento se realizó durante los años 2018-2019 en Sertão/RS - Brasil. El arreglo experimental fue de bloques al azar con cuatro repeticiones. Los tratamientos utilizados fueron tres diferentes cultivos de cobertura de invierno que preceden al cultivo de maíz × cuatro herbicidas de preemergencia × cuatro herbicidas de postemergencia, totalizando 192 unidades experimentales. Al analizar los resultados, la atrazina y la atrazina + simazina utilizadas en preemergencia tuvieron más influencia en la reducción del número de malezas, y el herbicida glufosinato de amônio promovió el mayor control de malezas en postemergencia. La amicarbazona y el glifosato resultaron en la mejor combinación para el rendimiento de maíz en pre y postemergencia, respectivamente. El centeno + nabo + arveja como cultivo de cobertura dieron como resultado una mayor producción de biomasa, una reducción más significativa del número de malezas y un aumento del rendimiento del maíz.
