The root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus brachyurus) is one of the main soybean parasite in Brazil. Until now, there is no clean and low cost alternative to successfully reduce its population in contaminated fields. However, recent studies has shown the possibility of inducing the defense mechanisms in plants as a strategy for the management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biochemical response and the development of soybean cultivars when subjected to parasitism by the nematode Pratylenchus brachyurus and treat with abiotic resistance inducer acibenzolar-S- methyl (ASM). Soybean was sown in polyethylene bags, and seven days after, the treatments were inoculated with the nematode. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in a 5x4 factorial scheme, with eight replications. The treatments consisted of combinations of five soybean cultivars with: Control (plants not inoculated with the nematode and not sprayed with ASM), Pb (plants inoculated with the nematode), ASM (plants sprayed with the plant activator) and Pb + ASM (plants inoculated with the nematode and sprayed with ASM). The treatments with ASM were sprayed at 14, 21 and 28 days after the nematode inoculation (DAI) and, 24 hours later, the plant height and the enzymatic activity were evaluated. At 60 DAI it was evaluated the plant height, the shoots fresh weight (SFW), the roots fresh weigh (RFW), the reproduction factor (Rf) and the nematode density in the roots. There was higher total protein concentration after the third ASM application, with higher activity of chitinase (CHI) and β-1,3- glucanase (GLU) in the first two applications, higher peroxidase (POX) in the second and lipoxygenase (LOX) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) after the third. The results showed a possible synergistic effect between the activities of CHI and GLU and antagonistic effect between the POX and the FAL during the evaluation timings. ASM increased the activity of POX, LOX and FAL in the absence or presence of the nematode. Activities of CHI and GLU were higher in plants parasitized by the P. brachyurus. During the three evaluation periods the greatest heights were recorded at 28 DAI with lower height in plants with nematode. There was no statistical difference in height between treatments. However, there were differences between cultivars. The cultivars BRSGO 8560 RR, Emgopa 313 RR e M-Soy 8360 RR showed greater heights. The plants had higher SFW and RFW in treatments containing the nematode. In plants treated with ASM the nematode density was higher, while the Rf was lower. Thus, the results showed that the plant activator ASM and the nematode P. brachyurus affect the plant development and that the enzymatic activity is influenced by the number of ASM sprays and by the presence of nematode. The resistance inducer, ASM, shows potential for reducing the nematode`s reproduction.
