ABSTRACT:The aim was to evaluate the diseases severity on corn second crop. The research was conducted on the agricultural year of 2013 and 2014, evaluating the application quality over the fungicide spraying. The hybrid used was PIONEER 30k75 BT HERCULEX, evaluating the diseases severity previously and after the fungicide spraying, spray deposition on the culture and productivity. The aerial application was carried out with solution volume of 7.5, 13.5, 20 and 30.3 L ha -1 , using automatic rotating nozzles, and the ground application with 90, 110, 130 and 150 L ha -1 , uniform flat spray tips. As control a non-fungicide treatment was used. The aerial and soil treatment showed diseases control from the corn crop, being the biggest cover of drops acquired at the volumes 30.30 L ha -1 for aerial and 150 L ha -1 for soil, with no significant change on the productivity of the corn harvest for both forms of spraying: aerial or soil.

-This study aimed to assess the degree of similarity presented by thematic maps generated by different sampling grids of weed plants in a commercial agricultural area of 7.95 hectares. Monocotyledons and dicotyledons were counted on the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 harvests, before soybean planting, in the fallow period after wheat harvest, in both years. A regular grid of 10 x 10 m was produced to sample the invasive plants, used as reference, and the counting was done in 1 m² of each sample point, totaling 795 samples in each year, compared to regular grids of 30 and 50 m, generated from the data exclusion of the standard grid. Twenty-two composite soil samples were taken at a depth of 0-20 cm to correlate soil properties with weeds occurrence. For the generation of the thematic maps, the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) for interpolation was used; when comparing the maps generated from each grid with the reference map, the kappa coefficient was used to assess the loss of quality of the maps as the number of sample points was reduced. It was observed that the map quality loss was lower in 2013 compared to 2012 when the sampling density of the points was reduced. The 30 x 30 m grids have satisfactorily described the infestation data of the dicotyledons and the 50 x 50 m grids have adequately described the monocotyledon weeds infestation, compared to the standard 10 x 10 m grids.Keywords: precision agriculture, sample grids, weeds.

The electrical conductivity test is routinely used to differentiate the physiological quality of seed lots, and has stood out for its ease of execution, low cost, speed, repeatability, and straightforward interpretation of results. This study aimed to establish a methodology for the electrical conductivity test in pea seeds (Pisum sativum L.) involving seed quantity and seed imbibition periods. The experiment was carried out at the Multidisciplinary Laboratory of the State University of Goiás, the campus of Ipameri Campus, in 2018. Pea seeds (Pisum sativum) stored in the seed laboratory of the same institution were used for this experiment. The completely randomized experimental design with four replications in a 4x6 factorial scheme was used. Four quantity of seeds (25, 50, 75, and 100 seeds) and six imbibition periods (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 h) at 25ºC were evaluated. The electrical conductivity test was performed with four replicates of 25, 50, 75, and 100 seeds each, weighed on a precision scale (0.001g) and placed in disposable plastic cups, with a capacity of 200 mL, containing 75 mL of distilled water. The cups were then kept in a BOD chamber, set at 25°C, and the measuring was performed after 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 h of imbibition with a conductivity meter and results were expressed in μS cm-1 g-1. There were no significant results for the interaction between the number of seeds and the imbibition time. Significant results were observed only for the individual effects of each factor. It is recommended to use 100 seeds of Maria pea, and 24 h for the electrical conductivity test.

EO presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de feijãomungo em função do espaçamento entre fileiras e número de plantas por metro linear. O experimento foiconduzido na Universidade Estadual de Goiás, Câmpus Ipameri, utilizando-se sementes produzidas nomesmo local. Para avaliação da qualidade fisiológica das sementes foram realizados testes para determinação do teor de água, germinação e vigor. As análises foram realizadas no laboratório Multidisciplinar II. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, com os tratamentos dispostos em esquema fatorial 2 x 6, tendo como fatores os espaçamentos entre fileiras (25 e 50 cm) e números de plantas por metro linear (4, 8, 12, 16, 20 e 24 plantas), com quatro repetições. Os testes foram realizados com sementes armazenadas durante seis meses. De acordo com os resultados da análise de variância, na primeira contagem de germinação, comprimento de parte aérea, comprimento de raiz e condutividade elétrica houve interação significativa entre os fatores estudados. A massa seca de plântulas apresentou efeito significativo para os espaçamentos entre fileiras e números de plantas por metro linear de forma isolada. Para a massa de mil sementes, envelhecimento acelerado, emergência de plântulas em areia e índice de velocidade de emergência, verificou-se efeito significativo isolado apenas para os espaçamentos entre fileiras. A germinação não foi influenciada pelos espaçamentos entre fileiras e números de plantas por metro linear. O espaçamento entre fileiras de 50 cm, com 24 plantas m-1 linear entre fileiras, apresentaram melhor potencial fisiológico, evidenciado pela massa de mil sementes e condutividade elétrica. As sementes de feijão mungo produzidas em 24 plantas m-1 linear e espaçamento de 50 cm entre fileiras, apresentam melhor potencial fisiológico.

The electrical conductivity test stands out among the existing physiological quality tests due to its simplicity of execution, repeatability, speed, easy interpretation of results, and low cost. This study aimed to establish a methodology for the test of electric conductivity in lentil seeds (Lens culinaris Medik), involving the seeds’ number of seeds and soaking time. The experiment was conducted at the Multidisciplinary Laboratory of the State University of Goiás, Campus Ipameri, in 2018. Lentil Silvina seeds were used, stored in the seed laboratory of the same institution. The experimental design used was completely randomized, in a 4x5 factorial scheme, with four seed lots (25, 50, 75, and 100 seeds) and five soaking times (3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 hours) at 25 ºC, with four replications. The initial seed quality was characterized (water content, first counting of germination, percentage of germination, accelerated aging and 1000-seed weight). For the electrical conductivity test, four repetitions of 25, 50, 75, and 100 seeds each were used, weighed on a digital scale with an accuracy of 0.001 g and placed in plastic cups, with a capacity of 200 mL, containing 75 mL of distilled water. Then, the plastic cups remained in a BOD chamber, adjusted at 25 °C and the measuring was performed after 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 hours of soaking in a conductivity meter (DIGIMED DM 31), the results being expressed in μS cm-1 g-1. There was a significant interaction when evaluating the number of seeds per repetition and the soaking time. The use of replicates with 50 seeds subjected to 12 h of soaking shows the best results for the lentil seeds' electrical conductivity test.
