Abstract

This study aimed to compare the herbicidal activity of solid formulas obtained by spray drying with conventional liquid formulas containing biomolecules produced by submerged cultivation of the fungus Diaporthe sp. in a stirred-tank bioreactor. The solid formula presented the highest phytotoxicity on plant control (96.7%) and the phytotoxicity was directly related to the concentration of fermented broth in the formula. The use of adjuvant improved the efficiency of the bioherbicide. Dry matters of treatments were lower than the control and this was correlated with an increase in oxidative stress, since the activity of the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and guaiacol peroxidase increased in the treatment with a high level of phytotoxicity. Spray drying technology is a promising tool to concentrate bioherbicide without the loss of bioactive compounds since one of the major challenges in the production of bioherbicides is the low concentration of active ingredients in the fermented broth.
