Triticum aestivum L., interação genótipo x ambiente, seleção de genótipos, resistência a doenças.Resumo
Selection of disease resistant genotypes is the main goal of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs.
However, because of the lack of genotypes resistant to all diseases and the strong influence of the environment on the
level of resistance of the genotypes, the use of fungicides is necessary in the cultivation of wheat. The objective of this
study was to compare the gain in yield and the selection efficiency of wheat genotypes due to the fungicide application
in trials carried out in different sites and years. This study used grain yield data from 816 wheat genotypes evaluated
in 248 advanced trials at eight sites during the years from 2004 to 2012. The gain resulting from fungicide application
for a given genotype was estimated by the difference between yield of plots on which fungicide was applied and
control treatment. The greatest gains with fungicide application were observed in sites with lower average temperatures
and higher rainfall indices, such as Campo Mourão, Castro, Não-Me-Toque and Guarapuava. On the other hand, the
lowest gains with fungicide application occurred in Dourados and Palotina, environments where crops in general
suffer water stress and present higher average temperatures. The year effect resulted in yield increases due to fungicide
application ranging from 16.9 to 60.7%. The selection and evaluation of the response to the application of fungicide in
wheat should be environment-specific to maximize the use of genotype x environment interaction.
