Abstract: This study was performed to evaluate the immediate and latent effects of drying air temperature on the physiological potential of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.). The fruits were harvested at the physiological maturity stage, with 36 ± 2% water content (w.b.), and dried at temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 ºC, until 7 ± 1% (w.b.). Thereafter, the fruits were stored in an environment with non-controlled temperature and relative humidity for 150 days, and the water content, germination and vigor of seeds were immediately determined, as well as at every 30 days thereafter, through the first count, and the tetrazolium test, accelerated aging test, cold test with soil and electrical conductivity. According to the results, it was found that the physiological potential of peanut seeds is inversely related to the drying temperature and the storage time, due to the fact that the germination and vigor are reduced as both factors increase. The air temperature of 40 °C may be recommended for the drying of peanut seeds, and even associated with the storage time of 150 days under uncontrolled conditions.

Different Doses

It is possible to cultivate common beans for a third harvest in one agricultural year due to varietal characteristics. For calendar adequacy, performing desiccation and planting often occur almost simultaneously. Germination performance of many plant species can improve with biostimulant use on seeds, however the interaction with herbicide residual molecules is unknown. The hypothesis is that seeds treated with a biostimulant in soil with glyphosate residues can eliminate the advantage of the biostimulant or increase the damage caused by the herbicide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different glyphosate reduce doses and the interaction with biostimulant on bean seed germination and vigor. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized 2 x 5 factorial block designing factorial 2 x 5, corresponding to the presence and absence of biostimulant and five different doses of glyphosate reduce rates, with four repetitions. The conducted evaluations were first count germination, germination test, accelerated aging, cold test, root and shoot length, root and shoot dry matter and electrical conductivity. It can be concluded that the biostimulant treatment on bean seeds increased germination, seed vigor and early seedling growth, but glyphosate presence reduced those advantages, increasing electrical conductivity. However, the herbicide presence provided higher germination on the accelerated aging test.

Physiological Quality

Gherkin seeds usually show irregular physiological quality. Seed production requires fast and reliable tests to evaluate seed quality. Germination test is considered a recognized analysis method; however, seed technology has pursuit the improvement of vigor tests aiming the evaluation of seed’s physiological potential. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate procedures to perform the test of accelerated aging and determine the physiological and sanitary potential of gherkin seeds. Four seed lots of cultivar Liso Calcuta were used in the study. To evaluate the initial physiological quality the water content was determined and germination and emergence tests, as well as indices of germination speed and emergence speed were used. The accelerated aging test was performed as traditionally and with saturated saline solution, with 48, 72 and 96 hours, at temperatures of 41oC and 45oC. After aging, the water content was determined, and seeds’ germination and sanity tests were performed. The experiment was set under a completely random design in factorial 4x3x2 (lots x aging periods x temperatures). The standard accelerated aging test and the test with saturated saline solution at 41oC for 96 hours were efficient to evaluate the vigor of gherkin seeds. Saturated saline solution provides uniform water absorption and deterioration in gherkin seeds, allowing to discriminate seed lots in different vigor levels. The salinity test after accelerated aging with saline solution reduces the incidence of some fungi.

The efficiency of vigor tests in assessing the physiological potential of seeds depends on their standardization for different species. In this context, the research aimed to study specific methodologies to evaluate the vigor of spinach seeds (Tetragonia tetragonoides). For this purpose, five lots of spinach seed cv. New Zealand were submitted to germination, first count of germination, seedling emergence in the field, accelerated aging (with and without use of saturated solution of NaCl at 41and 45 ºC for 24,48 and 72 hours), controlled deterioration (18,21 and 24% seed water content adjustments for 24 hours at 45 ºC) and electrical conductivity tests with variations inwater volume (25, 50 and 75 mL), seed quantity (25 and 50) and soaking period (1, 2, 4, 8,12, 16 and 24 hours) at 25 ºC. The first count test allowed obtaining preliminary information about seed vigor, and other tests in general showed similarity with seedling emergence in the field. Thus, it was concluded that traditional accelerated aging test 24 h /41 ºC and accelerated aging test with saturated salt solution for 24 h at 41 ºC and 45 ºC, and controlled deterioration test with 21% seed water content / 24 h / 45 ºC were all efficient for evaluating the physiological potential of spinach seeds.

The industrial seed treatment combines the application of insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, micronutrients and other products. However, seed submission to the combination of several products can cause phytotoxicity, resulting in reduced viability and vigor, which is directly proportional to the increase in the storage period of the material. Thus, the objective was to determine the vigor of corn seeds and the percentage of germination in substrates when submitted to two types of industrial treatment as a function of storage time. The experimental design was a completely randomized, 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design (two treatments, two times and two substrates / two vigor tests / two emergency tests) for the germination, vigor and emergency tests. Hybrid corn seeds were treated with two types of industrial treatments: TSI3 (combination of three products - K-Obiol 25 CE, Actellic 500 CE, Maxim Advanced) and TSI4 (combination of four products - K-Obiol 25 CE, Actellic 500 CE, Maxim Advanced, Cruiser 350 FS). The analyzed variables were: germination, vigor and emergence. In the germination test, it was verified that, when vermiculite was added, there was a higher percentage of germination in corn seeds. When added thiametoxan, the combination of products in the treatment of corn seeds had a detrimental effect on their physiological quality, reducing germination and vigor. The industrially treated corn seeds showed a reduction in vigor when submitted to the accelerated aging test after the prolongation of the storage period.

Seed companies use vigor tests in their internal seed quality control procedures. Therefore, it is necessary to choose effective methods to obtain quick responses for making decisions related to the handling, disposal and marketing of seed lots. Thus, the objective of this work was to adapt a methodology for the accelerated aging test in soybean seeds. Sixty-nine lots were used and the experimental design used was completely randomized, with four replications. For the initial characterization of the lots, water content was determined, germination test and field emergence. The soybean seed lots selected based on the initial characterization, were submitted to the standard accelerated aging methodology and twenty-one adapted methodologies. After the physiological characterization of the 69 lots, 24 lots with similar germination with different levels of vigor were selected. For adapted methodologies that used only distilled water inside the gerbox box, there was an increase in the water content of the seeds of all analyzed lots. However, all methodologies with the use of saline solution had alower water content. The adapted methodologies N (pre-treatment in forced air oven at 35-40°C for two hours, BOD 42°C for 24 hours, using saline) and S (pre-treatment in forced air oven at 35-40°C for two hours, BOD 45°C for 12 hours, with the use of distilled water) are the most suitable for use in the accelerated aging test for soybean crops, as they present relevant results in a shorter evaluation period.

Evaluating seed quality with precision and accuracy is one of the priorities for obtaining high quality material. This study aimed to evaluate whether the variations in the performance of the accelerated aging test, in terms of exposure time and temperature, in the traditional form or in saline solution, would result in an efficient combination to evaluate the physiological quality of thyme seeds (Thymus vulgaris L.). The seeds were submitted to the tests of total germination, germination speed index, first germination count, seedlings emergence, seedling length, seedling dry mass, cold test, electrical conductivity, variations in the conduction of the accelerated aging test and the water content of the seeds was performed after each accelerated aging period. The treatments were the combination of temperatures (36, 38, 40 and 42 ºC), exposure time (24, 36, 48 and 72 hours) and two procedures (traditional and saline), with four replications for each batch. Traditional accelerated aging test at 42 ºC and 24 hours of exposure time, and saline solution accelerated aging test at 38 ºC and 24 hours of exposure time showed sensibility to evaluate physiological potential for thyme seed. For both saline solution and traditional accelerated aging test, the exposition time of 24 hours was efficient to evaluate physiological potential of thyme seeds.

Abstract: This work evaluated the efficiency of accelerated aging test to determine the physiological potential in treated soybean seeds with fungicides and insecticides, in addition to analyzing the concordance between the results obtained by different accelerated aging methods with the actual results of the physiological quality in seeds after the storage. The study was divided into two experiments, both with entirely randomized delineation, with four replications. In the first experiment, seed germination was evaluated after imposing some treatments that were arranged in a 3 x 2 x 3 factorial scheme: seed treatment (imidacloprid + thiodicarb; fipronil + thiophanate methyl + pyraclostrobin; no treatment); vigor levels (high; low); and accelerated aging (traditional; saturated NaCl solution; no aging). In the second experiment, seedling emergence was evaluated after applying some treatments that were arranged in a 3 x 2 x 2 factorial scheme: seed treatment (imidacloprid + thiodicarb; fipronil + thiophanate methyl + pyraclostrobin; no treatment); vigor levels (high; low); storage time (0 and 135 days). The accelerated aging methods were efficient to determine the physiological potential of the seeds, in which, the NaCl method presented better results. The physiological potential of soybean seeds decreased throughout storage and the application of chemicals in seed treatment impaired the germination and emergence percentages, regardless of the active ingredient used. The accelerated aging method with NaCl presents greater agreement with the actual storage results.
