Respiratory activity and physiological performance of maize seeds classified according to their shapes and sizes

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of seed size and shape on physiological performance and respiration, as well as to establish the relationship between physiological quality and respiratory activity of maize seeds. For studying the influence of size and shape of the different seed fractions, the following analyzes were performed: weight of one thousand seeds, germination, first germination counting, germination speed index, total seedlings dry mass, electric conductivity, cold test witho… Show more

“…Currently, the aim is to increase productivity, however, there are multiple factors that influence this aspect, such as climatic conditions, physical and chemical quality of the soil, appropriate choice of genotype, agroclimatic risk zoning, management techniques, sowing speed, and the depth of seed placement are practices that require some caution. Seed quality as an indirect factor takes into account the obtaining of crops with uniformity, free of pathogens and other species, improving management conditions and, consequently, enhancing the implantation of the crop (Santos et al, 2018).…”
