Abstract: Seeds harvested on the ears have high moisture content. On that account, this study aimed at evaluating the loss of physiological quality of corn seeds harvested on the ears, as a function of different drying-delay times. Hybrid corn ears were harvested at 31% moisture and then had their drying postponed for 0, 12, 24 and 36 h, while subjected to temperatures of 30, 40, 50 and 60 °C. The physiological quality was evaluated after 0, 4, 8 and 12 months of storage. A completely randomized design was employed, in a 4 x 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replications. In addition, a study was performed in a seed-processing unit, reporting the average waiting time before drying and the temperatures of all loads of a corn hybrid received at the facility. The physiological quality was not affected by temperatures below 40 °C, considering 36 h of waiting before drying. At 50 ºC during the drying delay, the germination was impaired 36 h afterward, and the vigor was compromised after 24 h, with the damage effects intensifying as the storage advanced. At the temperature of 60 ºC, the deficits in germination and vigor occurred within the first hours of drying delay.

Abstract Eastern goat’s rue (Galega orientales Lam.) possesses high fodder productivity and accumulates a large amount of vegetative mass with high humidity for harvesting for seeds. This greatly complicates the harvesting of grass stand for seeds. One of the ways to solve this problem is to carry out desiccation of the grass stand. A complicating factor in choosing the optimal harvesting period is the extended flowering and ripening period of goat’s rue beans, the duration of which reaches 25-35 days. The use of the drug Reglon Super based on diquat is a highly effective agrotechnical method that allows increasing the collection of seeds by 24%. The desiccation of the herbage contributes to the production of seeds with high sowing qualities. The seeds with the best sowing qualities are found in beans with yellow, brown, brown or dark brown color of the beans. In light green beans, the seeds are fully formed, but have a high moisture content. Goat’s rue beans do not crack or crumble at the onset of the full ripeness phase. This allows the seed to be harvested when most of the beans are ripe. A comparative assessment of the timing and method of harvesting the seed herbage of the goat’s rue showed that with a ripening of 39% and the presence of 47% of light green and yellow beans, the yield losses ranged from 26 to 56%. The highest seed yield in one confidence interval of 422-453 kg / ha and 444 kg / ha was obtained, respectively, by direct threshing with preliminary desiccation of the grass stand in the ripening phase of 74-97% of beans or by separate harvesting when mowing into swaths during ripening 74 % beans.

La cercosporiose due à Cercospora oryzae est un champignon pouvant causer des pertes allant jusqu'à 60%. Elle est de plus en plus fréquente en Afrique de l'Ouest. Les premières prospections réalisées au sud du Bénin ont indiqué que Cercospora oryzae a une contribution large puisqu’elle a affectée 85% des champs de riz des trois zones agroécologiques du sud Bénin. Cette étude vise principalement à contribuer à la connaissance détaillée des effets de Cercospora oryzae sur les grains afin d’optimiser la conservation, la commercialisation et la production. Elle a consistée a : i) évaluer les effets de Cercospora oryzae sur le pouvoir germinatif des grains, ii) évaluer les effets de Cercospora oryzae sur le développement de la ternissure. L’étude a combiné des outils physiologiques et phytiatriques. Au terme des travaux, les variétés testées ont enregistré une bonne teneur en eau pour un minimum de 6%, ainsi qu’un bon taux de germination. A la fin de l’étude nous avons pu constater que Cerocpora oryzae entrainait une baisse du pouvoir germinatif des grains, une altération de la graine blanche et une décoloration de l’enveloppe. Ces résultats constituent une étape d’un travail de recherche approfondi sur la caractérisation (agronomique et génétique) de Cercospora oryzae afin de proposer des méthodes de luttes. Mots clés : Pouvoir germinatif, décoloration, altération, Cercospora oryzae, riz.   English Title: Study of the effect of Cercospora oryzae Miyake on the quality of rice grains and the development of tarnishSigatoka caused by Cercospora oryzae is a fungus that can cause losses up to 60%. It is more and more frequent in West Africa. The first surveys carried out in the south of Benin indicated that Cercospora oryzae has a large contribution since affected 85% of the rice fields of the three agroecological zones of southern Benin. The main objective of this study is to contribute to detailed knowledge of the effects of Cercospora oryzae on grains in order to optimize conservation, marketing and production. It consisted in: i) evaluating the effects of Cercospora oryzae on the germination power of the grains, ii) evaluating the effects of Cercospora oryzae on the development of tarnish. The study combined physiological and phytiatric tools. At the end of the work, the varieties tested recorded a good water content for a minimum of 6%, as well as a good germination rate. At the end of the study we could see that Cerocpora oryzae did not cause a drop in the germinative power of the grains but rather resulted in an alteration of the white seed and a discoloration of the envelope. These results constitute a stage of an in-depth research work on the characterization (agronomic and genetic) of Cercospora oryzae in order to propose methods of struggle.Keywords: Germination, discoloration, deterioration, Cercospora oryzae, rice.

Dried sugar–egg powders, obtained from a commercial Canadian source, were adjusted to 1.4, 2.8, and 3.2% moisture and stored at 40°, 80°, and 120° F. from 1 to 52 weeks. Quality of the powder was assessed by measurement of fluorescence, potassium chloride value, pH, and foaming volume. The rate of deterioration increased with an increase in moisture content at 80° and 120° F. The effect of moisture content on fluorescence and potassium chloride values was negligible at 40° F., but high moisture in powders stored at this temperature accelerated the development of acidity and the loss in baking quality as assessed by foaming volume.Packing in carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and in vacuo had a slight beneficial effect on dried sugar–egg powder.
