Carrageenan as an elicitor of wheat’s mechanisms of defense

Wheat represents an important staple food for human and animal nutrition. However, it constantly suffers from the incidence of biotic abiotic stresses which reduce yields kernels quality. The goal with this study was to use elicitors Acibenzolar-S-Methyl Carrageenan elicit mechanisms defense wheat increase quality yields. work conducted as a random block design six treatments two cultivars (TBIO Audaz TBIO Noble) in Chapecó, SC, Brazil during harvest season 2020. Parcels had size 5.0 m2 were spread apart by 80 cm distance. foliar/ear diseases, seed pathological mycotoxicological (deoxynivalenol - DON) analyses performed. best dosage carrageenan (Algomel PUSH®) plants has been accessed work. combined time application, proximity parcels drastic climatic conditions encountered 2020 area did not result significant yield gain nor A weak correlation between Fusarium Head Blight DON accumulation observed. showed be great tool suppression foliar diseases period roughly 20 days. dose-response is 1.21 L ha-1.
