The effect of sulfentrazone rates was evaluated on growth of soybean cv. BR-16, inoculated with strain SEMIA 5079, under greenhouse conditions. The sulfentrazone phytotoxicity increased as herbicide rates enhanced at V2 and R5 stages, aggravating the damage with the time. Leaf area, organs and total dry matter accumulations, plant heigh and roots length were reducted by sulfentrazone at R3 and R5 stages. The roots growth was more affected by sulfentrazone than shoot, occuring increment of shoot/roots ratio with augment on herbicide rates. The soybean cv. BR-16 showed low tolerance to sulfentrazone, based on the negative effect of the herbicide for all parameters studied.
