Downy mildew of soybean, caused by Peronospora manshurica, is widely spread throughout Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of POTASSIUM PHOSPHITE (cas 13492-26-7) to control this disease. Field experiments were conducted during the growing season of 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 in the state of Parana in southern Brazil. The experimental design consisted of completely randomized blocks in a factorial arrangement (4 × 2) with four replications. Four rates of potassium phosphite (0, 375, 750 and 1500 g P2O5 + K2O ha−1) were applied at two growth stages, V6 (fifth trifoliolate leaf) and R2 (full flowering), followed by one or two applications of pyraclostrobin and epoxiconazole (66.5 + 25 g a.i. ha−1) at R3 (pod development) or R2 and R5.1 (10% of pod filling), mainly for the control of Asian soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) and powdery mildew (Microsphaera diffusa). Field experiments were conducted to quantify the severity of downy mildew on leaves, nutrient content in leaf tissue (N, P and K), leaf area index (LAI), yield and seed weight. The maximum severity of downy mildew was observed at a growth stage of R5.3 (50% of pods were ripe), with 14% and 46% of the leaf area affected in 2006/2007 and 2007/2008, respectively. Also it was detected some effect of phosphite on Asian rust control but it was mostly in the trial of 2007/08 when the epidemic was very low (9.7–21.8% of severity). There was a linear reduction in the severity of downy mildew and a significant improvement in the LAI with an increase in the rate of phosphite applied. During the 2006/2007 growing season, a significant yield improvement was observed due to the application of the highest rate of phosphite. Two fungicide applications following phosphite application significantly improved the control of Asian soybean rust and powdery mildew, yield and seed weight when compared to a single fungicide application.
