This experiment was installed in Campo Verde County, Mato Grosso State during the agricultural year of 2004/2005 in a soil with high fertility, had 6 treatments: doses of K (0, 130 and 200 kg/ha of K2O) with and without two applications of fungicides (mixture of triazol + estrubilurina).
Main results: there was no effect of K fertilization in soybean resistance to rust in the treatments without fungicide; there was no yield increase due to K fertilization in the treatments with fungicides, as can be seen in the table below:
