Qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja tratadas com inseticidas

Abstract

The use of insecticide seed treatment for soybeans is a major component in pest control at the initial stage of soybeans, as they prevent the decrease plant stand. This treatment provides it with greater security and helps ensure the productivity of the crop, besides having a much lower environmental impact compared insecticide applications by air. With the large scale soy production in Brazil and abroad, some pests that are not the culture in question may start seeing it as a new source of livelihood. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the germination, seedling size and abnormal seedlings in treatments with insecticides Semevin (thiodicarb) Hurracan (Fipronil), Imitra (Imidacloprid) and Acetra (Acephate), the dosages recommended by manufacturers. Evaluations of physiological seed quality were conducted by means of germination, seedling size and abnormal seedlings in sand substrate, with the CD 202 variety of high germination and vigor. To avoid any discrepancies between the treatments all tests were used Firewalk fungicide (Thiram + Carbendazin). Treatment with insecticide Hurracan (Fipronil) proved to be superior to other insecticides because of its proximity to the witnesses and the significant difference by Tukey 5% of the other tests, indicating a better physiological quality compared to others.
