Vegetables play an important role in human nutrition, due to their nutritional value, being rich in various vitamins and minerals. The main vegetables produced in Brazil today are lettuce, potatoes, carrots, onions and tomatoes. The objective of this work was to present the current demand scenario for vegetable seeds, as well as to address the main factors that can contribute, both positively and negatively, to...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of potassium phosphite as a resistance inducer in the management of Phytophthora infestans, causal agent of the reek, in tomato mutants for trichomes and hormones, to identify their mode of action and the possible signaling pathways involved. Eleven mutant genotypes (hair absent, Wooly, hairless, Galapagos, notabilis, Never ripe, epinastic, procera, curl3, ...
O objetivo deste estudo consistiu em analisar a aplicabilidade do teste de envelhecimento acelerado no vigor de sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa) em seis lotes de sementes de alface, através da sua correlação com outros testes para avaliação expedita da qualidade fisiológica das sementes da hortícola. Foram realizados os testes de primeira contagem de germinação, germinação, condutividade elétrica, envelhecim...
O feijão-miúdo (Vigna unguiculata) apresenta multiplicidade de usos, que o torna boa opção para os agricultores, podendo ser utilizado além de recuperador de solos, como forragem verde, na alimentação animal e destaque na consorciação com gramíneas de alto potencial de produção. Objetivou-se adequar o teste de condutividade elétrica para avaliação do vigor de lotes de sementes de feijão miúdo. Foram utilizados ...
Saccharin sorghum is cultivated from seeds, requiring adequate production, harvesting and drying techniques to ensure the availability of quality seed and, therefore. The objective was to evaluate the initial quality by studying a more adequate methodology of the accelerated aging test for the evaluation of the physiological potential of sorghum seeds. The research was conducted in the Laboratory of Seed Analys...
The objective was to evaluate the effect of seed wheat coated with zinc, in its physiological, sanitary attributes and enzyme quality, during storage. We used two batches of seed, for seed treatment, we used commercial product as a source of zinc in the form of ZnSO4, along with fungicide and polymer. It was tested for levels 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mL ZnSO4 kg-1 seed. The physiological quality, during the storage per...
