Abstract
Application of glyphosate herbicide in genetically modified (GM) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] in soils with low zinc (Zn) concentration may interfere in the uptake of this and other nutrients, with negative impact on productivity. Thus, an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions on Ustoxix Quatzipsamment soil to investigate the effects of the interaction of glyphosate with Zn for the yield, photosynthesis, soil fertility and nutritional status of soybean. The treatments consisted of two soybean varieties [BRS 133 (conventional—NGM) and its essentially derived transgenic line BRS 245RR (GM) with and without glyphosate application] and five Zn rates (0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg kg−1, source zinc sulfate (ZnSO4)), with four replicates. Except for the copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) concentrations, the introduction of the herbicide-resistant gene is the predominant factor reducing nutrient uptake, photosynthetic (A) rate, stomatal conductance (Gs), leaf chlorophyll and ureide concentrations. The administration of Zn rates lowered the leaf phosphorus (P) concentration, and there was significant increase in Zn concentration in the soil and in the plant. Except for the 20 mg kg−1 of Zn rate, the use of the herbicide did not affect the shoot dry weight (SDW) and seed yield, and on average, the maximum seed yield was obtained with Zn concentrations of 26.4 and 18.7 mg kg−1 extracted by Mehlich 1 and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-triethanolamine (DTPA-TEA), respectively.
