This study aimed to evaluate the quality of stored soybean seeds harvested after chemical desiccation of plants with glyphosate at R7 stage. Seeds from soybean cultivar 'Conquista' were produced with and without desiccation with glyphosate, at the dose 2.0 L ha(-1), applied at physiological maturity stage. Seed quality was evaluated right after harvest and after eight months of storage by tests of moisture content, mass, germination and vigor. The experimental design was the completely randomized block with four replications. Data was submitted to variance analysis and means were compared by the Tukey test (p

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012-03-12 Physiological quality of rice seeds may be influenced by water deficiency at seed development and filling stages, which is often reported in upland cropping system. This study had the objective of evaluating the effects of sprinkler irrigation system on the improvement of physiological quality of rice seeds produced under upland conditions. wo experiments were carried out in Selvíria-S, Brazil, Ilha Solteira College of Engineering, UNESP, in 1994/1995 and 1995/1996, with the upland rice cultivars 'IAC 201' and 'Carajás'. In both years, rice plants were grown under rainfed and sprinkler-irrigation conditions. Based on the rice crop coefficient (Kc), the following water levels were obtained: L1: 0.5 times the Kc, L2: Kc, L3: 1.5 times the Kc, L4: Kc = 1.95. Weight, germination and vigor of rice seeds were evaluated right after harvest. The experimental design was the completely randomized with four replications. Data was submitted to analysis of variance and means were compared by Tukey's test (P≤0.05) separately for each cultivar. It was concluded that levels of water varying from 0.5 to 1.5 times the rice crop coefficient, supplied through sprinkler-irrigation system, provide better conditions to produce rice seeds of upland cultivars with higher physiological quality.

Crambe is a promising crop for biodiesel production, mainly due to the high oil content of its seeds. However, there have been no effective methodologies for evaluating the physiological quality of crambe seeds. Seed lots have not been compared, especially by vigor tests, such as the accelerated aging. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of high temperature and exposure periods on the physiological quality and enzymatic activity of crambe seeds during the accelerated aging test. Two lots of crambe seeds of the Brilhante cultivar were analyzed by tests of moisture content, weight of 1,000 seeds, germination, first count, electrical conductivity, enzymatic activity (peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) and seedling length. All tests were carried out before and after the accelerated aging, which evaluated different temperatures (38, 40 and 42ºC) and exposure periods (24, 48 and 72 hours). The experimental design was completely randomized with four replications. Variance analysis and mean comparison through the Tukey and Dunnet tests (p ≤ 0.05) were applied for statistical analysis and means were also submitted to the linear correlation test. It was concluded that the interaction between temperature and exposure period affects the physiological quality and enzymatic activity of crambe seeds. We also conclude that the best conditions of temperature and exposure period for evaluating the physiological quality of crambe seeds through the accelerated aging test depend on genotype.

The use of unconventional sources of K for plants has been widely studied, but the effects of alternative materials on physiological seed quality are still relatively unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality of soybean and wheat seeds after using different potassium sources in a crop succession. The experimental design was a completely randomized block with four replications. Treatments consisted of three K sources (KCl, alkaline rock and ground phonolite, with 58%, 11% and 8.42% of K2O, respectively) applied in four doses (0, 25, 50 and 100 kg K2O ha-1). Potassium doses were applied in soybean and their residual effects were evaluated on the following wheat crop. Soybean and wheat seeds were evaluated immediately after harvesting by tests for moisture content, seed weight, germination, first count, electrical conductivity, seedling length and seedling dry matter. Soybean plants fertilized with alternative sources of K produced heavier seeds with a lower coat permeability compared to KCl; the physiological quality of soybean seeds and the weight of wheat seeds increase due to higher K2O doses, independently of their source. O uso de fontes não convencionais para fornecimento de K às plantas tem sido amplamente estudado, mas os efeitos de materiais alternativos na qualidade fisiológica das sementes não são conhecidos. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja e trigo em função da aplicação fontes de potássio em uma sucessão de culturas. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos constaram de três fontes de K (KCl, rocha alcalina e fonolito moído, com 58%, 11% e 8.42% de K2O, respectivamente) aplicados em quatro doses (0, 25, 50 e 100 kg K2O ha-1). As doses de potássio foram aplicadas na soja e seu efeito residual foi avaliado na cultura do trigo, cultivado em sucessão. Logo após a colheita, as sementes de soja e trigo foram avaliadas pelos testes de teor de água, massa de sementes, germinação, primeira contagem, condutividade elétrica, comprimento de plântulas e massa da matéria seca de plântulas. Plantas de soja adubadas com fontes alternativas para fornecimento de K produzem sementes com maior massa e menor permeabilidade de membranas comparado às com KCl; maior qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja e massa de sementes de trigo são obtidas com maiores doses de K2O independente da fonte.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho estudar combinações de tempo e temperatura na adequação do teste de deterioração controlada para avaliação do vigor de sementes de milho com diferentes teores de água. Foram utilizados oito lotes de sementes de milho híbrido CO32, cuja qualidade inicial foi determinada pelos testes de: teor de água, massa de mil sementes, porcentagens de germinação e de plântulas normais na primeira contagem do teste de germinação, massa seca das porções aérea, radicular e total de plântulas, teste de frio, teste de envelhecimento acelerado, teste de condutividade elétrica, tetrazólio, emergência de plântulas no campo e velocidade de emergência de plântulas no campo. A umidade inicial dos lotes de sementes foi ajustada pelo método de imersão em água para 15, 20 e 25%. Para cada teor de água foram avaliadas nove combinações de períodos (16, 24 e 48 horas) e temperaturas de deterioração (42, 45 e 48 °C). Após a deterioração determinou-se o teor de água e a porcentagem de germinação das sementes. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey e análise de correlação aos 5% em esquema fatorial 9X8, sendo nove combinações de tempo e temperatura e oito lotes de sementes. As combinações 24 h-45 °C, 48 h-45 °C e 16 h-45 °C para sementes com teor de água ajustado para 15, 20 e 25%, respectivamente, são eficientes para avaliação do vigor de sementes de milho pelo teste de deterioração controlada. The objective of the present research was to study the combination of time and temperature on the suitability of the controlled deterioration test for evaluating the vigor of maize seed with different water contents. Eight seed lots of hybrid maize CO32 were used, whose initial quality was determined by the following tests: water content, thousand seed weight, electric conductivity, germination, first germination count, seedling total dry matter and of the aerial parts and roots, cold test, accelerated aging, tetrazolium, emergence and rate of emergence in the field. The initial moisture content of seed lots was adjusted by immersion in water to 15, 20 and 25%. Nine combinations of periods (16, 24 and 48 hours) and deterioration temperatures (42, 45 and 48 °C) were evaluated for each water content. After deterioration, the water content and percentage of germination were determined and the data submitted to ANOVA with means compared by the Tukey test and a correlation analysis to 5% in a factorial 9x8, with nine combinations of temperature and time and eight seed lots. The combinations 24-45 °C, 48-45 °C and 16-45 °C for seeds with water contents adjusted to 15, 20 and 25% respectively, are efficient for evaluating maize seed vigor using a controlled deterioration test.

The physiological quality of seeds can be affected by the nutritional status of plants, with emphasis to sulfur supply, which is an essential component of amino acids. The research had as objective to evaluate the effects of side dressing sulfur fertilization on the physiological quality of bean seeds, cv. Pérola. The experimental design was the completely randomized block, with four replications. The treatments consisted of five side dressing sulfur doses (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 kg ha-1), in ammonium sulfate source, 22 days after seedling emergence. The physiological quality of bean seeds was evaluated right after harvest, by tests of germination and vigor. Side dressing sulfur fertilization increased seed vigor, as evaluated by the accelerated aging test; however, there was a decrease in initial seedling development due to the increase in the S dose until 50 to 60 kg ha-1. A qualidade fisiológica das sementes pode ser afetada pelo estado nutricional das plantas, destacando-se, dentre os nutrientes, o fornecimento de enxofre, constituinte essencial dos aminoácidos. O trabalho objetivou avaliar os efeitos da adubação sulfatada em cobertura sobre a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de feijão cv. Pérola. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por cinco doses de enxofre (0, 20, 40, 60 e 80 kg há-1) em cobertura, na forma de sulfato de amônio, 22 dias após a emergência das plântulas. Avaliou-se a qualidade fisiológica das sementes logo após a colheita mediante testes de germinação e vigor. A aplicação de enxofre, em cobertura, aumentou o vigor das sementes, avaliado pelo teste de envelhecimento acelerado; contudo, houve redução do desenvolvimento inicial das plântulas com acréscimo da dose de S em cobertura até 50 a 60 kg há-1.
