Tratamento On-Farm de sementes de soja e sua Influência na qualidade durante o período de armazenamento

Abstract

Seed treatment, in the broad terms, is the application of both processes and products that preserve or improve the performance of seeds, allowing all cultures to express their genetic potential. It includes the application of pesticides (fungicides, insecticides), biological products, inoculants, stimulants, micronutrients and submission to heat treatment or other physical processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality and vigor of soybean seeds after treated with mixtures of products such as fungicides and insecticides applied via seed treatment. We used soybeans seeds of the plant variety M6410IPRO and four treatments with three storage periods (0, 20, 40 days after the seed treatment). Standard germination test; accelerated aging test and seedlings emergence were conducted in the Lagoa Bonita Seeds Laboratory. Seed quality was above 85% showing it is possible treating seeds on farm.
