| Resumo: | High soybean grain yield is based on adequate crop management, mainly on disease prevention and control, especiallyAsian soybean rust (ASR), which causes great crop damage. This study aimed to evaluate the ASR chemical control with diff erentfungicide mixtures in three soybean-producing areas in Brazil during two consecutive crop seasons. Four fungicide treatments[T1: benzovindyflupyr + picoxystrobin, T2: benzovindyflupyr + azoxystrobin, T3: fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin, and T4:inpyrfluxam + tebuconazole] were evaluated with five replications. Phytotoxicity damage, ASR disease severity, plantdefoliation, 1,00 0 -grain weight, and grain yield were evaluated. The results were relatively consistent among all regions and betweenthe crop seasons, indicating that the treatments have similar responses when applied in diverse conditions. The T3 and T4 treatmentspresented higher phytotoxicity, lower disease severity, lower plant defoliation, and higher 1,000-grain weight and grain yield.The presence and damage caused by ASR tend to increase after the second soybean crop season in the same area, suggesting aloss of efficiency of the evaluated fungicides.
