Tratamento químico de sementes de milho e o teste de condutividade elétrica

In different crops, the seeds treatment with the use of fungicides and/or insecticides has been performed before the storage or in the seeding moment as a guarantee form of longer conservation period and adequate initial stand. However, it is not known if the various products used for the treatment interfere with test results of electrical conductivity of corn seeds. The experimental design was completely randomized and the analysis carried out in a factorial 5x5x2 with four replications. The treatments consisted of five cultivars of corn (DKB 390YG, DKB 185YG, 2B710, AGN-30A91HX and AL Bandeirante) treated with four insecticides (imidacloprid+thiodicarbe, thiamethoxam, fipronil, fipronil+piraclostrobin+thiophanate-methyl), and the control previously treated by the company with fungicides (fludioxonil+metalaxyl-M e captan) and insecticides (pirimiphos-methyl, deltamethrin e bifenthrin), analyzed in two different times (after treatment and at 35 days of storage). Seeds were subjected to tests of germination, electrical conductivity and water content. The results showed that the treatment of corn seeds with insecticides and fungicides doesn't interfere on the test results of electric conductivity, even if the analysis is made after 35 days of storage of seeds.

Efeito do estresse hídrico e salino na germinação e vigor de sementes de maxixe

The objective of this work was to evaluate the germination and vigor of two lots of gherkin seeds in different osmotic potentials using polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) and sodium chloride (NaCl). Seeds of the 'North' cultivar were sown in germitest paper moistened in solutions of polyethylene glycol and sodium chloride in osmotic potentials of 0, -0.3, -0.6 and -0.9MPa. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 2x4 design (solutions x osmotic potential), with four replications. Seed vigor was evaluated by the germination test, first germination count, length and dry weight of root and hypocotyl. It is concluded that the reduction in osmotic potential from -0.3MPa induced by PEG 6000 and NaCl reduces the germination and vigor of gherkin's seeds. The osmotic stress induced by PEG 6000 produced more severe effects than saline in physiological quality of gherkin's seeds.

Pigmentos fotossintéticos e índice spad como descritores de intensidade do estresse por deficiência hídrica em cana-de-açúcar

The objective of this study was to evaluate the responses of sugar cane subject to water stress by photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls a, b, total a + b, ratio chlorophylls a/b and carotenoids) and verify the use of SPAD index as a cultivar differentiation tool. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, where four cultivars (IACSP95-5000, RB835054, RB928064 and SP80-3280) were grown in pots. After 65 days of planting, two treatments were implemented, i.e., with no stress (-D) and with water stress (D +). Cultivars of sugar cane respond differently in relation to photosynthetic pigments when subjected to water deficit. Cultivars IACSP95-5000 and RB928064 have less effect of drought, that is attributed to the ability of maintaining the chlorophyll and carotenoid content, as well as higher SPAD index values under this condition. Water stress affects with more intensity the cultivars RB835054 and SP80-3280 due to higher reductions in photosynthetic pigments and SPAD index. SPAD index is correlated with chlorophyll and carotenoid content in sugar cane and can be used as a technique for selecting tolerant cultivars to drought in breeding programs.

Influência do estímulo verbal no tempo do teste de escada

Introduction: The stair-climbing test (SCT) is considered a submaximal test of simple implementation and easy access, which assesses the individual’s functional capacity. Although widely used in surgical patients, there is no standardization regarding the height of the stair and verbal stimulus. Objectives: It was determine if verbal stimulus changes the stair-climbing time (SCt) in individuals over 50 years-old. We compared oxygenation, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate and Borg scale between SCT performed with and without stimulation. Methods: We evaluated individuals with ages greater than 50 years-old that performed two STC (with and without verbal stimulation), in the stair with 44 steps, achieving 7.04 m in height and recording the time to climb the stair. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the diastolic blood pressure (DBP), respiratory rate (RR), pulse, oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) and Borg scale were evaluated before and after the tests. The time in the SCT with and without stimulation were compared using the Student test-t and the other variables were compared using the ANOVA test (p<0.05). Results: The average age was 59.75±6,40 years old in the 21 evaluated individuals. The time in the SCT without stimulus was significantly higher than the one with stimulus. The SBP, pulse, RR and Borg scale were significantly increased when compared to the SCT with and without stimulus. Oxygenation and DBP didn´t have significant differences at any time of the study. Conclusions: The time in the SCT was lower when performed with verbal stimulus. The SBP, pulse, RR and Borg scale changed significantly after the SCT with and without stimulus, remarking that this change was greater in the SCT with stimulus.
