ABSTRACT Three different isolates of Pochonia chlamydosporia (Pc-3, Pc-10 and Pc-28) were evaluated in a greenhouse experiment when applied individually and in combinations. A control treatment with no application of isolates of P. chlamydosporia var. chlamydosporia was included, while neither isolates nor nematodes were used in another untreated treatment. One-liter pots were filled with sterilized soil, and each pot was infested with 3 g of rice substrate colonized with the respective isolate plus 3,000 eggs of Meloidogyne javanica. One 'Santa Clara' tomato seedling was transplanted to each pot after fifteen days. None of the isolates (applied individually or in combinations) was able to reduce the number of galls when compared to the control treatment. However, the number of eggs of M. javanica decreased for isolates Pc-10 and mixtures Pc-10 + Pc-3, and Pc-10 + Pc-28 + Pc-3. The association of isolates of P. chlamydosporia var. chlamydosporia did not increase the control of M. javanica when compared to the application of Pc-10 individually.

RESUMEN El experimento se realizó en invernadero, donde se evaluaron tres aislamientos de Pochonia chlamydosporia (Pc-3, Pc-10 y Pc-28), que se aplicaron individualmente y en combinaciones. En el tratamiento testigo no se aplicó P. chlamydosporia var. chlamydosporia al suelo, y también se incluyó un tratamiento testigo sin nematodos. Vasos de un litro de capacidad con suelo esterilizado fueron infestados con 3 g de sustrato de arroz colonizados con el respectivo aislamiento del hongo más 3.000 huevos de M. javanica. Quince días más tarde, se trasplantó en cada vaso una plántula de tomate 'Santa Clara'. Ninguno de los aislamientos del hongo, en forma individual o en mezcla, fueron capaces de reducir el número de agallas en comparación con el tratamiento testigo. Sin embargo, el número de huevos de M. javanica se redujo para el aislamiento Pc-10 y las combinaciones de Pc-10 + Pc-3 y Pc-10 + Pc-28 + Pc-3. La asociación de los aislamientos de P. chlamydosporia var. chlamydosporia no aumentó el control de M. javanica en comparación con la aplicación de Pc-10 individualmente.

O objetivo desse estudo foi selecionar progênies de café produtivas e com resistência à ferrugem em dois locais do Estado do Paraná (Brasil). Os experimentos de campo foram instalados no delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso nos município de Itaguajé e Congonhinhas. Foram avaliadas as características produção, vigor vegetativo e resistência à ferrugem em nove progênies de café arábica e em três cultivares padrões. Vários genótipos derivados do "Sarchimor" e do "Catucaí" apresentaram plantas suscetíveis. Três cafeeiros do germoplasma Sarchimor e uma progênie "F6 de Catuaí x (Catuaí x cafeeiro da série BA-10)" foram selecionados para avanço de geração e têm potencial para se tornarem novas cultivares, pois apresentaram produção maior que 'IAPAR 59' e 'Tupi IAC 1669-33' e muitas plantas apresentaram resistência completa à ferrugem.

The aim of this study was to select high-yielding coffee progenies with resistance to coffee leaf rust for the State of Paraná (Brazil). Field experiments in a randomized block design were carried out in Itaguajé and Congonhinhas. Yield, vegetative vigor and rust resistance of nine progenies of Arabic coffee and three check cultivars were evaluated. Many genotypes derived from "Sarchimor" and "Catucaí" were susceptible. Three coffee genotypes of Sarchimor germplasm and the F6 generation of genotype "Catuaí x (Catuaí x BA-10 coffee)" were selected to advance generations and are promising to become new cultivars for being higher-yielding than 'IAPAR 59' and 'Tupi IAC 1669-33' and having a large number of plants with complete rust resistance.
