Green soybean seeds: effect on physiological quality
The objective of this research was to assess the manner in which the presence of green soybean seeds affects their physiological quality. In this study, six lots of soybean seeds of cultivar 5958RSF IPRO with 0, 0, 7, 8, 16 and 18% of green seeds were examined. The tests done included the first germ...

Summary: | The objective of this research was to assess the manner in which the presence of green soybean seeds affects their physiological quality. In this study, six lots of soybean seeds of cultivar 5958RSF IPRO with 0, 0, 7, 8, 16 and 18% of green seeds were examined. The tests done included the first germination count, germination, electrical conductivity, field emergence, accelerated aging, emergence speed index, Tetrazolium, length, dry mass and seedling growth curve. Results were tested employing the normality test and analysis of variance, and the means were compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability level, employing the Rbio statistical program. Growth data were analyzed by the nonlinear regression analytical method, using the SigmaPlot 12.0 software. The viability and vigor of the greenish seeds were confirmed to reveal higher deterioration, proportional to the percentage of seeds in which the cotyledons had green pigmentation, indicating that the presence of chlorophyll caused the physiological quality of the soybean seeds to decrease.
RESUMO: Neste trabalho o objetivo foi avaliar a influência da presença de sementes esverdeadas de soja na sua qualidade fisiológica. Para tanto, foram utilizados seis lotes de sementes de soja da cultivar 5958RSF IPRO com 0, 0, 7, 8, 16 e 18% de sementes esverdeadas. Os testes realizados foram: primeira contagem de germinação, germinação, condutividade elétrica, emergência em campo, envelhecimento acelerado, índice de velocidade de emergência, tetrazólio, comprimento, massa seca e curva de crescimento de plântulas. Os resultados foram submetidos ao teste de normalidade e análise de variância, seguido de comparações de médias, pelo teste de Tukey ao nível de 5% de probabilidade, com auxílio do programa estatístico Rbio. Os dados de crescimento foram submetidos à análise de regressão não-linear, utilizando o software SigmaPlot 12.0. Para as sementes esverdeadas, constata-se menor viabilidade e vigor devido a maior deterioração, proporcional a porcentagem de sementes com pigmentação verde nos cotilédones, de forma que a presença de clorofila reduz a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja. |
