-Storage is an important step in the production of soybean seeds, mainly in tropical regions, where high temperatures can drastically reduce seed quality. The storage at cooler temperatures may be a feasible alternative to preserve seed quality during storage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality of soybean seeds artificially cooled by a dynamic process and stored in an environment, with non controlled temperature and relativity humidity. Two seed lots of cultivars Monsoy 8757, TMG 115 RR and BRS Valiosa RR were used. After processing and during packaging the seeds were cooled to 18 o C by a dynamic process. Seed samples were collected after 0, 60 and 120 days of storage, using the following parameters germination, accelerated aging, seedling emergence in sand, speed of emergence index, electrical conductivity, tetrazolium and seed health. Although soybean seeds artificially cooled by the dynamic method may have slightly superior performance in maintaining physiological quality during storage in non-refrigerated warehouse, for lots of high physiological quality, these advantages are not observed.
A B S T R A C TThis study aimed to evaluate the quality of soybean seeds with high level of mechanical damages from different processing stages and stored with and without fungicide treatment. Collections of seed samples were performed during the processing at the following points: hopper, pre-cleaning, dryer, cleaning, spiral, sieve-classifier and the gravity table. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 9 x 2 factorial scheme, with 9 collection points and two seed treatments, in four replicates. The seeds were then evaluated immediately after processing and after six months of storage. The processing progressively improved the attributes of soybean seed quality throughout the different stages in which the gravity table plays an important role in the improvement of the physiological and sanitary quality of the lot, favoring the storage potential and vigor of the seeds. The treatment of the seeds with fungicides is effective in controlling fungi before and after storage. The storage of soybean seeds with high level of mechanical damage markedly increases their deterioration.Qualidade de sementes de soja com alto índice de danos mecânicos após beneficiamento e armazenamento R E S U M O Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar a qualidade de sementes de soja com elevado índice de danos mecânicos, provenientes de diferentes etapas do beneficiamento e armazenadas com e sem tratamento com fungicida. Foram efetuadas, ao longo do beneficiamento, coletas de amostras de sementes, nos seguintes pontos: moega, prélimpeza, secador, limpeza, espiral, classificador-peneira e densimétrica. O delineamento experimental adotado foi inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 9 x 2, sendo 9 pontos de coleta e dois tratamentos de sementes, em quatro repetições. As sementes foram avaliadas logo após o beneficiamento e aos seis meses de armazenamento. O beneficiamento melhora os atributos da qualidade de sementes de soja ao longo das diferentes etapas em que a máquina densimétrica desempenha papel importante no aprimoramento da qualidade fisiológica e sanitária do lote favorecendo o vigor das sementes. O tratamento das sementes com fungicidas carbendazim + thiram é eficiente no controle dos fungos de Cladosporium sp., Fusarium sp., Penicillium sp. e Aspergilus sp. antes e depois do armazenamento. O armazenamento de sementes de soja, com elevado índice de danos mecânicos, aumenta acentuadamente sua deterioração.
-Several factors, including sowing time, can affect the productivity and the quality of seeds. The objective of this work was to evaluate four components of the castor oil plant production as function of the sowing time and of the floral order in the "Embrapa Clima Temperado" in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil in yellow clay soil type at the latitude of 31°40'53.6" S, longitude of 52°26'23.5" W and altitude of 67.10 meters. The number of bunches emitted, productivity of seeds, peel percentage and weight of a thousand seeds were evaluated for the cultivars Al Guarany 2002, IAC 80, IAC 226 and BRS 188 Paraguaçu. The largest emission of bunches on castor oil plant does not lead, necessarily, to higher productivity of seeds, which varied between sowing time and floral order.
A B S T R A C TThe objective of this study was to determine the desorption isotherms of 'cajuzinho-docerrado' achenes (Anacardium humile St. Hil.) in various conditions of temperature and water activity, as well as to select the one that best represents the phenomenon and to determine the isosteric heat of desorption. The fruits were collected at the Emas National Park, in the municipality of Mineiros-GO, Brazil, pulped and then subjected to drying in silica gel at temperature of 25 ± 2 °C until the moisture contents of 17.6, 13.6, 11.1, 8.7 and 5.3 (d.b.%). After drying, the desorption isotherms were determined by the indirect static method. The water activity (Aw) was determined at different temperatures, and the achenes were placed in a B.O.D. chamber, regulated at 10, 20, 30 and 40 °C. Data of hygroscopic equilibrium moisture content were fitted to different mathematical models through nonlinear regression analysis, using the Gauss-Newton method. The Copace model was the one that best represented the hygroscopicity of 'cajuzinho-do-cerrado' achenes, while the integral isosteric heat of desorption of 'cajuzinho-do-cerrado' achenes for the moisture content range of 4.51 to 13.40 (% d.b.) varied from 2,734.82 to 2,548.49 kJ kg -1 . Isotermas de dessorção e calor isostérico de aquênios de cajuzinho-do-cerrado R E S U M OObjetivou-se, com este trabalho, determinar as isotermas de dessorção de aquênios de cajuzinho-do-cerrado (Anacardium humile St. Hil.) em diversas condições de temperatura e atividades de água e selecionar aquela que melhor representa o fenômeno e determinar o calor isostérico de dessorção. Os frutos foram coletados no Parque Nacional das Emas, no município de Mineiros -GO, despolpados e em seguida submetidos à secagem em sílica gel a temperatura de 25 ± 2 °C, até atingirem os teores de água de 17,6; 13,6; 11,1; 8,7; 5,3 (% b.s). Após a secagem foram determinadas as isotermas de dessorção pelo método estático indireto. A atividade de água (Aw) foi determinada sob diferentes temperaturas sendo os aquênios acondicionados em câmara B.O.D., regulada a 10, 20, 30 e 40 °C; aos dados de teor de água de equilíbrio foram ajustados a diferentes modelos matemáticos por meio da análise de regressão não linear, pelo método Gauss-Newton. O modelo Copace foi o que melhor representou a higroscopicidade dos aquênios de cajuzinho-do-cerrado enquanto os valores de calor isostérico integral de dessorção dos aquênios de cajuzinho-do-cerrado para a faixa de teor de água de 4,51 a 13,40 (% b.s.) variaram de 2734,82 a 2548,49 kJ kg -1 .
A mamona (Ricinus communis L.) é uma planta oleaginosa anual e, ocasionalmente, bienal em regiões tropicais, com ciclo médio de 150 dias para a maioria das cultivares anuais e de 120 a 130 dias para cultivares anuais precoces. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar características agronômicas de cultivares das mamonas 'Al Guarany 2002', 'IAC 80', 'IAC 226' e 'BRS 188 Paraguaçu'em função do ambiente de cultivo e da época de semeadura. As cultivares foram semeadas entre o primeiro e o quinto dia dos meses de novembro e dezembro, na Embrapa Clima Temperado, em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Cada época teve 12 unidades experimentais em três blocos casualizados. A emergência, a altura de planta e de inserção do primeiro cacho, o período de florescimento e colheita e o ataque de pragas e doenças foram avaliados e analisados com o programa WinStat Versão 2.0. O comportamento entre as cultivares diferiu entre locais de cultivo e época de semeadura. A inserção do cacho foi mais alta, e as florações e colheitas foram mais tardias em plantas da segunda época de semeadura. Danos por pragas e doenças e os descritores morfológicos da planta de mamona apresentaram diferenças entre os locais de cultivo.
