Desempenho fisiológico de sementes de feijão

Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the treatment of bean seeds on farm and its possible dosage errors at the time of seed treatment with the main insecticides used, as this is an economically recommended technique to protect the seeds against biotic and abiotic factors, may decrease their physiological and genetic quality. Seeds from 2018/2019 were used, with germination higher than 80% and average water content of 12.4%. The seeds were submitted to four chemical treatments (Cruiser® 350 FS; Maxim XL; Fortenza® and Standak top®), the recommended dosage for culture, underdose and overdose and the control were used. After the tests were set to evaluate the germinative potential and seed vigor. Thus, it was concluded that the insecticides tested even in overdose did not negatively affect the seed quality of this bean cultivar.
