ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of intoxication by mesotrione herbicide on the initial development and yield of maize after seed inoculation or foliar spray application with Azospirillum brasilense and application of plant regulators. Therefore, three experiments were performed: one under greenhouse conditions and two under field conditions, in different locations. In all experiments, a randomized block design was used with a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement, representing presence (192 g ha-1) or absence of mesotrione and four treatments corresponding to the control; seed inoculation with A. brasilense; foliar spray application of A. brasilense; foliar spay application of auxin + gibberellin + cytokine (AX + GA + CK), and foliar... |
