Abstract: Seeds with high quality are one of the important factors to consider in the crops establishment on field. Therefore, the physical and physiological quality of wheat seeds treated with mixes of micronutrients including zinc and protective products were aimed. The wheat seeds were analyzed in a factorial scheme 5x3x4, with five storage time: 0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 days; three micronutrients: micronutrients 1 (1% Mn; 0.1% Mo; 10% Zn); micronutrients 2 (0.3% B; 0.3% Co; 3% Zn) and no micronutrients, and four protective products: untreated seeds, polymer (Colorseed He), fungicide carboxin + thiram (Vitavax® Thiram 200 SC) + insecticide thiamethoxam (Cruiser® 350 FS) and polymer + fungicide + insecticide. After treatment, the seeds were stored under uncontrolled conditions for 240 days and at intervals of 60 days, the germination, accelerated aging and moisture content were determined. Wheat seeds untreated and treated with polymer have the best physiological performance during storage, regardless micronutrients treatments. The wheat seeds treated with carboxin + thiram + thiamethoxam and polymer + carboxin + thiram + thiamethoxam can be storage up to 120 days, under uncontrolled conditions, regardless micronutrients treatments. The seed treatment does not alter the moisture content of wheat seeds.

Seed treatment is a practice that helps the initial establishment of the crop without the effects caused by pests and diseases. The association of diazotrophic bacteria with grasses has been used in the supply of nitrogen to plants; however, these microorganisms produce growth-promoting substances, which promote benefits in the growth and development of the crops. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of Azospirillum brasilense associated with the fungicide difenoconazole and the insecticide thiamethoxam by observing the effects on the quality of seed emergence of three wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.). Three wheat cultivars, arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial system with four replicates, were tested. The treatments were the control; difenoconazole (Spectro® at a dose of 150 mL per 100 kg of seed); thiamethoxam (Cruiser® FS 350 at a dose of 200 mL per 100 kg seed) and difenoconazole + thiamethoxam, applied on wheat cultivars TBIO Mestre, TBIO Itaipu and TBIO Sinuelo. Bacteria from the Azospirillum genus were used in the inoculation. The wheat seed retains its quality when it checks the germination, vigor and independent accelerated aging, whether or not fungicide, insecticide and A. brasilense were used. The insecticide thiamethoxam increased the length of shoots and roots and provided compatibility with A. brasilense, and fungicide inhibited the length of shoots and roots and was antagonistic to the bacterium A. brasilense.

Abstract: Initial seed vigor and sowing density interact in establishment of plants in the field, and can thus affect expression of the plasticity of the wheat crop and the yield and physiological quality of the seeds produced. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of seed vigor levels in combination with sowing densities on the yield and physiological potential of wheat seeds. The cultivars BRS Gralha-Azul and BRS Sabiá were used in a randomized block experimental design in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement, with four replications. The treatments consisted of seeds of high and low vigor and four sowing densities (150, 250, 350, and 450 seeds.m-2). The following evaluations were made: seed yield, germination, first germination count, seedling length, seedling dry matter, accelerated aging, emergence speed index, and seedling emergence in sand. An increase in sowing density favors the seed yield of both cultivars; however, it reduces the vigor of the seeds produced by the cultivar BRS Gralha-Azul, especially of the seeds produced by plants originating from high vigor seeds. For the cultivar BRS Sabiá, an increase in sowing density decreases the germination performance of seeds produced by plants originating from low vigor seeds.

Seeds of native forest species for food and seedling production have a growing demand that impacts the need for studies involving seed storage in order to maintain good levels of germination quality. Thus, scientific analyzes that explore the physiological potential of the seeds of these species are necessary, especially for the pink pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi.), a species used as an alternative source of income for traditional communities and which has been arousing interest due to the consumption of its fruits as a condiment in the national and international market. This work aimed to assess the physiological quality of pink pepper seeds according to the storage period and seed size. The seeds came from a rural settlement, a pioneer in the extraction of pink pepper, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The seeds were evaluated for moisture content, germination, first count, length and dry weight of the germinated seedlings, during the period of time that they remained stored and the size of the seeds. The results allowed to conclude that: i) the germinative percentage of the stored pink pepper seeds decreased over the months; ii) the moisture content of the seeds decreased over the months evaluated iii) the different sizes of seeds did not show differences in germination and storage time and iv) values of length and dry weight of the seedlings did not differ according to the period of storage.

Seed treatment is the most efficient technique for controlling pests and pathogens that can influence the initial development of the crop. However, storing treated seeds may damage the physiological quality. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of storage on the physiological quality of treated soybean seeds and on the morphology of soybean seedlings. The treatments were carried out with Fludioxonil, Imidacloprid and Anthranilic Diamide, in the dosage of 200, 150 and 100 mL of the commercial product 100 kg of seeds, respectively, from the cultivar BRSMG752S. The experimental designs used were randomized blocks (greenhouse) and completely randomized (laboratory), in a simple factorial 4x4scheme, with 4 sowing times (30, 20, 10 and 0 days after treatments) and 4 treatments (3 products and untreated seeds) with 4 repetitions. The treatment of soybean seeds with Anthranilic Diamide submitted to different storage periods was the one with the closest physiological quality to the treatment without application of agrochemicals. The soybean seeds treated with Imidacloprid showed a reduction in physiological quality with the storage time, reduction (in general) in the root length and presented a lower seedling length at 20 days of storage.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological performance of wheat seeds coated with micronutrients. The treatments were combinations of two products based on micronutrients, product "A": 780.0 g.L-1 of zinc and product "B": 182.4, 7.6 and 45.6 g.L-1 of zinc, boron and molybdenum, respectively, with five dosages of the products: 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mL. kg-1 seed, totaling 10 treatments with four replications. Physiological quality of the treated seed was evaluated from germination and vigor tests and the early plant growth from determinations of shoot dry weight, plant height and leaf area at 10, 20 and 30 days after emergence (DAE), as well as the rate of crop growth, relative and net assimilation. Seed yield and physiological quality were determined after harvest. It was concluded that coating wheat seeds with the product "A" , based on zinc and "B", consisting of zinc, boron and molybdenum, respectively, up to a dosage of 4 mL.kg-1 seed, did not adversely affect the physiological quality of the treated seeds or those produced. Both products tested resulted in increases in leaf area, plant height and shoot dry weight up to 30 DAE, as well as a higher seed yield.

Water availability is one of the main factors responsible for wheat productivity, as well as the quality of the produced seeds. Silicon (Si) has an important role in mitigating the effects of various biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, Si application can be used to mitigate the effects of different irrigation depths on the production and quality of wheat seeds. The work aimed to evaluate the yield and physiological quality of wheat seeds produced from plants fertilized with leaf Si and grown under different irrigation depths. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot randomized block design, with four replications. The plots consisted of three irrigation depths (0, 50, and 100% of the total irrigation requirement [TIR]). In the subplots, Si treatments were allocated (without application [0 mM] and 5 mM SiO2, applied at the tillering stage). The following parameters were evaluated: water balance of the system; soil moisture; yield; thousand seed weight; germination; electrical conductivity; accelerated aging; seedling length and emergence. The water balance of the system was negative for the 0% TIN irrigation depth after anthesis and there was less soil moisture in this depth. There was no effect of irrigation depths and Si application on plant yield. The smaller irrigation depths imposed reduced the thousand seed weight and the electrical conductivity of the seeds produced. Plants fertilized with Si did not differ in germination, but they produced more vigorous seedlings with greater growth and uniformity.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of treatment with insecticides and fungicides on the physiological quality of corn seeds, classified in sizes, in different periods of storage. Seeds of the hybrid BM915 PRO, classified in two sizes (CH20/64 and CH24/64), were treated with a mixture of carbendazim + thiram (Derosal Plus®), pirimiphos methyl (Actellic®), deltamethrin (K-obiol®), and water (standard treatment). In addition to the standard treatment adopted by the company, treatments with clothianidin (Poncho®), thiamethoxam (Cruizer®), and fipronil (Shelter®) were added to the spray mixture. The seeds were stored in a non-climate-controlled environment in multi-ply paper packages. The physiological quality of the seeds was evaluated every ninety days over a period of 270 days by the germination test, cold test, and accelerated aging. Sanitary quality was also evaluated through the Blotter test. The physiological quality of seeds of the hybrid BM915 PRO is maintained up to ninety days of storage, regardless of the chemical treatment used and the size of the seeds. The addition of the insecticide to the standard treatment used in chemical seed treatment does not affect the action of the fungicides on the fungi in the seeds.

The objective of this study was to evaluate physiological seeds quality of four soybean cultivars during storage, under controlled and uncontrolled conditions. Seeds of Brasmax Lança IPRO, Brasmax Raio IPRO (está diferente do Material e Médtodos), Pioneer 95y52 and TMG 7062 IPRO cultivars were stored in controlled (20 ± 1.2 °C) and uncontrolled (producer's warehouse) environments and the following traits were assessed: percentage of germination (GERM), germination speed index (GSI), germination speed (GS) and accelerated aging (AA) at 0, 60, 120 and 180 days of storage. Covariance matrices structure of storage time was tested through repeated measures analysis, adopting a bifactorial model. Data were submitted to ANOVA (α=5%) and when the means presented significant differences, regression analysis and Scott-Knott test (α=5%) were performed. Differences in soybean seeds physiological quality are not related to storage environment. Lança cultivar was the most tolerant to storage, while Ray and TMG 7062 cultivars were more sensitive.

O GRAU DE UMIDADE NA COLHEITA E O SISTEMA DE SECAGEM SÃO DETERMINANTES PARA O VIGOR DE SEMENTES DE ARROZ   JAQUELINI GARCIA1, CILEIDE MARIA MEDEIROS COELHO1   1Programa de Pós-graduação em Produção vegetal, Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, Avenida Luiz de Camões, 2090, Conta Dinheiro, 88520-000, Lages, SC, Brasil, [email protected], [email protected]   RESUMO: O grau de umidade na colheita e o sistema de secagem podem ser determinantes na qualidade das sementes produzidas. Neste trabalho foi avaliado se o sistema de secagem e o grau de umidade na colheita interferem na qualidade fisiológica das sementes de arroz. Foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial triplo. Foi utilizada seis cultivares produzidas no Alto Vale do Itajaí/SC na safra 2016/17 com grau de umidade na colheita igual ou superior a 17% (19,30 - 17,30%) e inferior a 17% (16,40 - 15,03%) (base úmida). As sementes foram submetidas aos sistemas de secagem estacionário e intermitente. Realizou-se testes de germinação, viabilidade, vigor pelo envelhecimento acelerado e frio. Sementes colhidas com grau de umidade ≥ 17% apresentaram maior vigor. A cultivar foi um fator de grande relevância na sensibilidade ao dano térmico e mecânico. O sistema de secagem não afetou a viabilidade das sementes, com exceção da cultivar SCS122 Miura que foi sensível a dano térmico e mecânico. A secagem estacionária comprometeu a qualidade fisiológica. Conclui-se que a secagem intermitente e a colheita com grau de umidade igual ou superior a 17%, mantém a qualidade fisiológica das cultivares SCSBRS Tio Taka, SCS122 Miura, SCS116 Satoru e SCS121 CL.   Palavras-chaves: Secagem estacionária, secagem intermitente, qualidade fisiológica.   THE DEGREE OF MOISTURE IN THE HARVEST AND THE DRYING SYSTEM ARE DETERMINANT FOR THE RICE SEED VIGOR   ABSTRACT: The degree of moisture at harvest and the drying system can determine the quality of the seeds produced. In this work, it was evaluated whether the drying system and the degree of moisture at harvest affect the physiological quality of rice seeds. It was conducted in a completely randomized design in a triple factorial scheme. Six cultivars produced in Alto Vale do Itajaí/SC in the 2016/17 crop were used, with moisture content at harvest equal or greater than 17% (19.30 – 17.30%) and less than 17% (16,40 - 15,03%) (wet basis). Seeds were submitted to stationary and intermittent drying systems. Tests of germination, viability, vigor by accelerated aging and cold were performed. Seeds harvested with moisture content ≥ 17% showed greater vigor. The cultivar was a factor of great relevance in the sensitivity to thermal and mechanical damage. The drying system did not affect seed viability, except for the cultivar SCS122 Miura, which was sensitive to thermal and mechanical damage. Stationary drying compromised physiological quality. It was concluded that intermittent drying and harvesting with moisture content equal or greater than 17% maintain the physiological quality of the SCSBRS Tio Taka, SCS122 Miura, SCS116 Satoru and SCS121 CL cultivars.   Keywords: Stationary drying, intermittent drying, physiological quality.

Abstract: Despite the insufficient internal supply of popcorn kernel cultivars, the Brazilian production is continuously increasing. Therefore, searching for tests that offer fast results and reliable information on the physiological potential of the seeds is very important. The objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of the accelerated aging test, by using different times and exposure temperatures, for the evaluation of the physiological quality of popcorn seed lots. Popcorn seeds from three lots of the hybrid AP 8203 were used. For the initial characterization of the lots, the following tests were conducted: seed moisture content, first and final germination count, and field emergence. The accelerated aging test was performed in a 3x4x2 factorial scheme. After aging, the seeds were tested for moisture content, germination, and electrical conductivity. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design. The characteristic vigor was affected during aging, as evidenced by the increase in the amount of leachate detected by the electrical conductivity test. Seed lot 3 was most vigorous in the aging test conducted for 48 h at 45 °C. The accelerated aging test at 42 ºC for 48 h provides consistent information to differentiate seed lots of popcorn.
