Abstract

Cultivance^® (CV) transgenic soybeans are tolerant to imidazolinone herbicides, conferred by the csr1-2 gene. Even in herbicide-tolerant crops, negative effects on plant performance can be observed. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate yield, oil content, production costs and energy balance of soybean tolerant to imidazolinones under application of imazapic/imazapyr. The test was conducted in an area located in Palotina, state of Paraná, Brazil, in the 2015-2016 season. A randomized block design was used, in which the treatments consisted of the application of 11 rates of imazapic/imazapyr in post-emergence (V₄) of soybeans. Agronomic performance, economic viability, oil content and energy balance of soybeans were evaluated. Reductions at CV soybean yield were observed from the application of 157.5/52.5 g of acid equivalent (a.e.) ha^-1 imazapic/imazapyr. Negative effects were observed on other parameters for application of high rates. Reductions in profit were found from the rate 78.75/26.25 g a.e. ha^-1, reduction in oil content from 131.25/43.75 g a.e., and from 105/35 g a.e. ha^-1 a negative energy balance was observed. The application, in post-emergence of soybean (V₄), of imazapic/imazapyr up to the maximum rate recommended in the package insert (52.5/17.5 g a.e. ha^-1) was safe for soybean plants tolerant to imidazolinones (with gene csr1-2), regarding agronomic performance, oil content, economic viability and energy balance. Rates above the recommended maximum negatively influenced the performance of soybeans in one or more of these aspects.
