The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of industrial seed treatments on the physiological potential of soybean seeds over storage. Four mixtures of agrochemical products in association with two fertilizers were tested. The agrochemical product mixtures were carbendazim/thiram + imidacloprid/thiodicarb; pyraclostrobin, thiophanate-methyl, and fipronil; thiophanate-methyl/fluazinam + bifenthrin/imidacloprid; and metalaxyl-m/fludioxonil + thiamethoxam. The two fertilizers were 7% N, 16% P2O5, 0.6% Co, and 2.5% Mo; and 1% Co, 10% Mo, and 7% P2 O5. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a split-plot arrangement in time, with four replications. The treatments were allocated in the plots, while the storage periods (0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days) constituted the split-plots. The following tests were carried out in each period: first count of germination, germination, accelerated aging, emergence speed index in sand substrate, and final seedling emergence in sand substrate. Seed germination and vigor declined over the storage period, especially after industrial treatment. Pesticide mixtures of a carbendazim/thiram fungicide base and an imidacloprid/thiodicarb insecticide base most impaired seed physiological potential throughout storage, regardless of fertilizer use in the industrial treatment.
Although accelerated aging is one of the tests most used for evaluation of the physiological quality of soybean seeds, there are few studies that relate it to other physiological tests used for the crop. In this context, the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of accelerated aging to the results of physiological performance obtained in the vigor tests most frequently used in the soybean quality control system (germination, first count, seedling vigor classification, accelerated aging, electrical conductivity, emergence speed index, final emergence in sand substrate, and field emergence). The experiment was conducted with seeds that had different vigor levels, adopting a completely randomized experimental design with four replications. Pearson simple correlation analysis (r) and simple linear regression analysis at both 1% and 5% probability were conducted on the data. The results showed that the seedling vigor classification test (r = 0.9160) and the field emergence test (r = 0.9198) were those that best correlated with accelerated aging, followed by the germination (r = 0.8690), first count of germination (r = 0.8460), and electrical conductivity (r = 0.8912) tests.
R E S U M OO objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência agronómica de diferentes dosagens e modos de aplicação (via sementes, aplicação foliar e no sulco de sementeira) da forma líquida de um inoculante à base de Azospirillum brasilense nos componentes da produtividade da cultura do trigo. As seguintes características agronómicas foram avaliadas: número de perfilhos por planta, número de grãos por espiga, massa seca da parte aérea, peso médio de mil grãos, peso do hectolitro, teor de N no grão, teor de N, P e K na massa seca da parte aérea e produtividade de grãos. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que a utilização de metade da dose de N, associada à aplicação de A. brasilense na forma líquida, independentemente do método de inoculação, proporcionaram resultados benéficos ao rendimento da cultura, quando comparada com a aplicação isolada de metade da dose de N. A aplicação de A. brasilense via tratamento de sementes com a dose total de N em cobertura, no entanto, foi a combinação que proporcionou o maior incremento da produtividade de grãos. Palavras-chave: Triticum aestivum, Azospirillum brasilense, inoculação, rendimento. A B S T R A C TThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of inoculation techniques (seed treatment, in-furrow application and foliar spray) with Azospirillum brasilense on the agronomic performance and yield response of wheat. At the point of harvest, the number of seeds per ear, the thousand-seed mass, the hectoliter weight, the shoot dry matter, the N, P and K content of shoot dry matter, the grain N content, and the grain yield were evaluated. Regardless of the inoculation technique, at half the dose of N fertilizer combined with A. brasilense in liquid formulation, provided significantly superior results in agronomic performance compared to the treatment in which only the half the dose of N fertilizer was used. However, it is inferred that seed inoculation with A. brasilense associated with full nitrogen fertilization showed the highest increase in wheat development and grain yield.
The objective of this study was to compare the effect of anticipated and traditional inoculation of Bradyrhizobium spp. in industrially treated soybean seeds. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design, with 10 treatments and 4 replications. Different combinations of insecticides and fungicides of industrial treatment of seeds, traditional inoculation and longterm (LT) inoculation, as well as different pre-inoculation periods performed at 0, 5 and 10 days before soybean sowing were evaluated. A treatment containing only nitrogen mineral fertilization and also a control treatment were included. The characteristics number of nodules per plant, seeds Nitrogen content, number of pods per plant, mass of thousand seeds and grain yield were evaluated. Results indicated that LT pre-inoculation combined with fludioxonil and thiamedoxan allowed seed storage up to 10 days without affecting soybean yield components.
The continuous development of soybean cultivars aiming at higher yields can result in a demand of N supply higher than the standard inoculation with Bradyrhizobium species. In this context, Azospirillum species, a nitrogen-fixing microorganism found in the rhizosphere of various plant species, may be studied as a way of providing soybean crop with the part of the N it needs. Employing a completely randomized design with four replicates, this study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance of two different methods of standard inoculation of Bradyrhizobium spp. associated with the co-inoculation with Azospirillum spp. The tested treatments consisted of the absence of N fertilizer and inoculant, full N recommendation, two single inoculations with Bradyrhizobium spp. (in-furrow and seed-applied) combined with an in-furrow application of Azospirillum spp. At R 2 growth stage, the nodule number, nodule dry weight, shoot dry biomass and shoot N content were the variables evaluated, whereas at R 8 the grain yield, thousand seed weight and grain N content were assessed. The results demonstrated that the co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium spp. with Azospirillum brasilense is beneficial to soybean yield, mainly using the in-furrow method of application for Bradyrhizobium spp., associated to the infurrow co-inoculation with Azospirillum spp.

Potencial de desenvolvimento de Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius, 1792)(Coleoptera: Anobiidae) em dietas contendo soja Potential for the development of Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius, 1972) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) in diets with soybean ResumoLasioderma serricorne é uma praga cosmopolita, com grande potencial de adaptação a uma variedade de produtos alimentares de origem vegetal. Está sendo encontrada em soja armazenada, causando preocupação aos armazenadores. Este trabalho buscou determinar o potencial de adaptação de L. serricorne em produtos à base de soja, estudando o desenvolvimento deste inseto em diferentes dietas contendo soja e avaliando o número e a intensidade de adultos emergidos, e a duração do período de ovo até adulto. Os insetos foram submetidos às seguintes dietas: 1) grão de soja inteiro + grão de soja quebrado (proporção de 3:2); 2) farinha de soja + levedo de cerveja (proporção de 5:1); 3) farinha de soja + gérmen de trigo + levedo de cerveja (proporção de 5:2:1); e 4) fubá + gérmen de trigo + levedo de cerveja (proporção 5:2:1). Para avaliar a sobrevivência de adultos, foi acrescentado um tratamento controle, sem alimento. Ficou evidenciado que a espécie L. serricorne é um inseto que se desenvolve e completa o ciclo biológico em dietas contendo soja, podendo se tornar uma praga com importância econômica em alimentos. A dieta que apresentou o melhor desempenho na produção de adultos de L. serricorne foi a que continha farinha de soja + gérmen de trigo + levedo de cerveja, com um pico de emergência dos adultos aos 49 dias após a postura, iniciando-se aos 42 dias e se prolongando até os 73 dias após a postura. Adultos de L. serricorne sobreviveram por até 38 dias na ausência de alimento, porém somente de 20 a 22 dias em dietas à base de grãos e farinha de soja, gérmen de trigo, levedo de cerveja e fubá.

This study aimed to compare the results of germination, vigor, and yield of high- and low-vigor soybean seeds submitted to on-farm application of biostimulant with its application via industrial treatment 60 days before sowing. The experimental design was a factorial arrangement of 6 × 2 × 2 (technology × vigor level × strategy of biostimulant application) for the laboratory experiment and of 6 × 2 (technology × strategy of biostimulant application) for the field experiment. Germination, accelerated aging, emergence in sand, seedling dry biomass, and electrical conductivity were assessed in the laboratory, while stand, one thousand-grain weight, and yield were assessed in the field. Biostimulant application in soybean seeds not coated with pesticides did not affect the physiological quality regardless of the application moment (at the day of sowing or at 60 days before sowing). However, when applied in seeds coated with fungicides and insecticides, better results of germination, vigor, and yield were obtained with the on-farm use of biostimulant.
O tratamento industrial de sementes (TIS) é uma prática consolidada na agricultura, assegurando boa cobertura das sementes com defensivos, micronutrientes, pós-secantes e polímeros. Entretanto, são escassos os trabalhos em relação à manutenção da qualidade fisiológica das sementes, quando estas são tratadas com reguladores vegetais, particularmente no decorrer do armazenamento. Neste contexto, o objetivo no trabalho foi de avaliar o efeito da adição de biorregulador sobre a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja aos 60 dias de armazenamento convencional. O ensaio foi conduzido em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. Foram realizados os testes de germinação (primeira e última contagens), envelhecimento acelerado, comprimento de plântula (parte aérea, raiz primária e total), índice de velocidade de emergência em areia, porcentagem final de emergência das plântulas em substrato de areia e biomassa seca de plântula. Embora a análise de amostras no tempo zero de armazenamento propiciaria maior clareza na interpretação dos dados, observou-se que ainda que os TIS testados possam promover decréscimo no potencial fisiológico da soja, todos os tratamentos ultrapassaram o padrão mínimo de germinação (80%), indicando que os lotes estavam aptos para comercialização no período de até 60 dias de armazenamento convencional, independentemente da adição do biorregulador.
