Testes para a seleção de populações de cenoura visando ao vigor e à longevidade das sementes

Populations of carrot seeds with superior physiological quality and storage potential are of interest to seed companies and growers. Thus, we verified the efficiency of some tests for the selection of carrot populations with greater vigor and longevity of seeds. Seeds of 50 carrots progenies of different half-brothers from Brasilia cultivar were evaluated for the mass of one hundred seeds, the first count, germination, dormancy, accelerated aging with water and saturated NaCl solution. The seeds were stored at moisture contents of 6.1±0.3% in hermetic packaging at temperatures of 15 and 25°C for 12 months and germination was evaluated quarterly. The experimental data were evaluated for variance and phenotypic, genotypic and environmental heritability, coefficient of variation and genetic gain from selection. Selection based on the mass should not be used because it would increase the occurrence of dormancy in seeds of the next generation. The test of the first count, germination and accelerated aging in water or saline solution saturated may be used to select populations of carrot seeds of higher vigor and longevity. The estimated gain genetic selection for germination after 12 months storage at 25°C was 14%.

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.

Umedecimento do substrato e temperatura na germinação e vigor de sementes de melão

The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides in desiccation Raphanus raphanistrum (wild radish) in different application times and their effects on weed seed germination. The experimental had a randomized block design with three replications. The herbicides used were: glyphosate (360; 720; and 1080 g ha(-1)), 2,4-D (335; 670; and 1005 g ha(-1)), glyphosate + 2,4-D (360 + 335; 720 + 670; and 1080 + 1005 g ha(-1)). Spraying was conducted at three different times: 1st season (full bloom) - at 62 days after emergence (DAE), 2nd season (beginning of pod formation) - at 92 DAE and 3rd season (end of pod formation) - at 108 DAE. At 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 days after application (DAA), the desiccation was evaluated visually, and 42 DAA dry mass of shoots and seeds of the 2nd and 3rd times were collected for the test of germination. All chemical treatments tested were effective in controlling the plants of wild radish in the 1st and 2nd times, but in the 3rd time doses of 2,4-D applied singly were not effective and only the highest dose of glyphosate applied singly or in mixture provided a total plant control. In terms of percentage, the reduction in dry matter of plants was higher with the application of larger doses of chemical treatments. The herbicides affected the germination of seeds of wild radish, and the herbicide 2,4-D provided greater reduction in germination in the 2nd and 3rd seasons.

Efeito alelopático de melissa, capim-cidreira, lavanda e alecrim na germinação e vigor de sementes de alface

Objetivou-se, neste estudo, avaliar a inluência na germinação e vigor de sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa L.) de macerados e infusões de Melissa oficinalis L. (melissa), Rosmarinus oficinalis L. (alecrim), Lavandula angustifolia Mill. (lavanda) e Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf. (capim-cidreira). O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com nove tratamentos e quatro repetições, cada unidade experimental constituída por 25 sementes. Sendo os tratamentos: alecrim infusão, alecrim macerado, lavanda infusão, lavanda macerado, melissa infusão, melissa macerado, capim-cidreira infusão, capim-cidreira macerado e testemunha. As variáveis avaliadas foram: índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), porcentagens de plantas anormais (PA), porcentagens de plantas germinadas (PG), massa fresca (MF), massa seca (MS), comprimento da parte aérea (CPA) e comprimento da radícula (CR). O capim-cidreira apresentou efeito alelopático negativo na germinação e no vigor de sementes de L. sativa L. Já em melissa infusão veriicou-se ação estimulante.
