HYDRATION LEVELS ON CONIDIAL PRODUCTION OF Metarhizium rileyi (Ascomycota) IN SOLID GROWING MEDIUM

This study aimed to evaluate the conidial production of Metarhizium rileyi in rice with different water volumes. The bioassay was composed by completely randomized design (CRD), with four treatments (20, 30, 40 and 50 mL of distilled water), being added 100 g of rice thin and long, making a total of 10 plastic bags per treatment, which were autoclaved for 15 minutes at 1.0 atm pressure, to 120 ºC. After the cooling of the rice, were added in each plastic bag, 2.0 mL of suspension containing 1 × 108 conidia mL-1. Then the bags were incubated for ten days in a germination chamber (BOD type) at 25 °C (±1 °C), 80% (±10%) relative humidity and 12h photoperiod to promote conidial germination and growth of the fungus, being performed a mild agitation every two days. The use of higher water volume resulted in greater conidial production and greater number of viable conidia. However, the highest rate of conidia germination was obtained with the use of 30 mL of water, is this the volume of water that corresponds to the best results.

ABSTRACT The rules for seed analysis do not have recommendations for conducting the germination test of Eucalyptus phaeotricha seeds. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the best substrate, temperature, conduction time, and substrate moistening level for the germination test of E. phaeotricha seeds. First count of germination, germination, germination speed index and mean time of germination were evaluated. The first experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, in a factorial scheme (6 x 2), corresponding to six temperature regimes (15, 20, 25, 30, 35 °C and 20-30 °C) and two substrates (paper and sand) with four replicates, and the means were compared by Tukey test at 0.05 probability level. In the second experiment, the germination test was installed with the most favorable substrate and temperature identified in the previous step, evaluating substrate moistening levels equivalent to 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 times the dry weight of the substrate; due to the quantitative nature of the treatments, the data were subjected to regression analysis and curve fitting. The germination test of E. phaeotricha seeds should be conducted at 30 °C on paper, moistened with a water volume of 2.2 times the dry weight of the paper, with initial and final counts at 6 and 14 days after sowing, respectively.
