O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes proporções de extrato aquoso de Bauhinia forficata L. sobre o processo fisiológico germinativo e a atividade enzimática de sementes de feijão no decorrer da germinação. Os tratamentos foram compostos pelas proporções 0 (água); 2.5; 5; 7.5 e 10% (folhas secas da B. forficata) e pelas horas de embebição das sementes. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com fator duplo. Foram avaliados a germinação, o índice de velocidade de germinação, o tempo médio de germinação, o índice alelopático (RI), a atividade das enzimas superóxido-dismutase, catalase e peroxidase. O índice de velocidade e o tempo médio de germinação como também o índice alelopatico foram afetados negativamente conforme o aumento das proporções de extrato testadas. Observamos que nos cotilédones das sementes de feijão o início da embebição apresentou atividade das enzimas avaliadas superiores aos valores encontrados no final do processo germinativo, enquanto que no eixo embrionário os maiores valores foram verificados no final do processo germinativo. O aumento das proporções de extrato das folhas de B. forficata afetaram as atividades enzimáticas no processo germinativo das sementes de feijão resultando em um atraso da germinação.

Recent scientific research has manipulated the use of hydrogel in seed coating technology based on synthetic and chemical additives. The current study has been carried out to evaluate the performance of new seed coating formulations containing hydrogel based on natural substances or microorganisms on seed germination and controlling some common diseases of Phaseolus vulgaris L. New formulations have been prepared as single mixtures of hydrogel with the following bioactive substances i) oregano essential oil (org EO), ii) ornithine lipid (OL) and two microorganisms i) Burkholderia gladioli and ii) Trichoderma harzianum (T22). Results revealed that, the hydrogel formulation based org EO showed the highest significant activity against the majority of the tested phytopathogens in a dose dependent manner. Regarding the antagonistic microbial activity, results showed that hydrogel formulations based T. harzianum T22 and B. gladioli were able to significantly reduce the growth of the majority of tested phytopathogens. In addition, the highest significant percentage of seed germination has been achieved using the formulations of B. gladioli and org EO. Regarding the disease incidence suppression assay, results explicated that org EO and OL were able to significantly inhibit the fungal disease incidence on P. vulgaris seeds steadily depending on tested concentrations. In conclusion, the use of natural bioactive substances in hydrogel formulation would greatly reduce dependence on chemical pesticides and hence decreasing the environmental pollution and the eventual harmful effects on plant, animal and human health.

In order to evaluate the effect of a growth promoter on the productivity performance and seed-quality in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crops, two experiments were carried out, one in the field and under controlled conditions. In the field experiments, a Latin square design was used for four treatments as follows: control, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 l.ha-1, respectively, where yield components were evaluated. The seeds used in the controlled conditions experiment were from prior trials, in a totally randomized design, at the dosages above mentioned. Seed germination and seedling growth were evaluated. In the field experiments, the product had a stimulating effect on the production. The highest yields were reached with the 0.8 and 1.0 l.ha-1 dosages in number 1, with values of 3.09 and 3.02 t.ha-1, and in number 2, the treatment with the best results was 1.0 l.ha-1, with a yield of 2.07 t.ha-1. In germination, there were significant differences among variables only in the first assessment at three days after planting. The best performance in seedling growth and in dry matter production was the treatment with seeds from the 0.5 l.ha-1 dosage in experiment 1. In addition, in number 2, performance among variables was similar. Therefore, VIUSID agro improved the bean yield performance and did not affect later seed germination nor initial seedling growth.

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), the most important food legume for human nutrition globally, contributes greatly to the improvement of soil fertility in semi-dry lands where most of the soil is already salinized or alkalized, such as in the Songnen Plain of China. In this study, we investigated the effects of salt stress (neutral and alkaline) on the salt-tolerant common bean. Seed germination, seedling growth, photosynthesis, and osmotic adjustment were assessed. Neutral and alkaline salt growth environments were simulated using NaCl and NaHCO3, respectively. The results indicated that at ≥60 mmol·L−1, both NaCl and NaHCO3 caused significant delays in seedling emergence and decreased seedling emergence rates. NaHCO3 stress suppressed seedling survival regardless of concentration; however, only NaCl concentrations >60 mmol·L−1 had the same effect. Alkaline salt stress remarkably suppressed photosynthesis and seedling establishment. The common bean compensated for the increase in inorganic anion concentration (influx of Na+) by synthesizing more organic acids and soluble sugars. This adaptive mechanism enabled the common bean to balance the large inflow of cations for maintaining a stable cell pH environment under alkaline salt stress.
