Interference of Sorghum sudanense and Eleucine indica in the soybean and corn cultivation

Zusammenfassung:The natural infestations are composed of numerous species that compete for environmental resources such as water, light, nutrients and space. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interference of mixed infestations Sorghum sudanense (sudangrass) and Eleusine indica (goosegrass) in the presence of soybean and corn. The experimental design was completely randomized with four replications and the experimental units consisted of plastic pots with a volume capacity of 8 L. The treatments were associations of plants S. sudanense and E. indica in the proportions 8:0, 6:2, 4:4,2:6 and 0:8, respectively, corresponding to 100, 75, 50, 25 and 0% S. sudanense and the reverse for E. indica. In all treatments remained constant four soybean or corn plants per experimental unit. The variables analyzed in the weeds were shoot dry weight, root, total and height of plants. The competitive analysis was accomplished through diagrams applied to replacement series experiment and indexes of competiveness. The results indicated that E. indica was more competitive than S. sudanense in mixed infestations with corn. Rather, S. sudanense was more competitive than E. indica, in mixed infestations with soybean, demonstrating differences in competitiveness among the weeds. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a interferência de infestações mistas de Sorghum sudanense (sudangrass) e Eleusine indica (goosegrass) na presença de plantas de soja e de milho. Os experimentos foram realizados em casa de vegetação, na estação de cultivo 2011/12. O delineamento adotado foi o inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições, e as unidades experimentais consistiram de vasos plásticos com capacidade volumétrica de 8 L. Os tratamentos foram associações de plantas de S. sudanense e E. indica nas proporções de 8:0, 6:2, 4:4, 2:6 e 0:8, respectivamente, que corresponderam a 100, 75, 50, 25 e 0% de S. sudanense, e o inverso para E. indica. Em todos os tratamentos, mantiveram-se constantes quatro plantas de soja ou milho por unidade experimental. As variáveis analisadas nas plantas daninhas foram matéria seca da parte aérea, raiz e total, por meio de diagramas aplicados a experimentos substitutivos e índices de competitividade. Os resultados indicaram que E. indica foi mais competitiva que S. sudanense em infestações mistas com a cultura do milho. Ao contrário, S. sudanense foi mais competitiva que E. indica em infestações mistas com a cultura da soja, demonstrando diferenças de competitividade en
