Comportamento de sementes de biótipos de arroz em função da utilização de herbicidas imidazolinonas

Abstract

The objective was to develop a methodology for quick and efficient identification of red rice seeds resistant to herbicides inhibiting acetolactate synthase and time to break dormancy of seeds of red rice. Used two biotypes of red rice, one resistant (General Câmara, RS) and a susceptible (Cachoeirinha, RS) to imazapic + imazapyr (Kifix®), acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicide, and two rice cultivars, Puitá INTA CL and IRGA 417, resistant and susceptible, respectively. For the evaluation of dormancy, the seeds of red rice were obtained from the Agricultural Center of Palma (CAP), UFPel, Capão do Leão. The results showed that the substrate blotter paper is the most efficient for the differentiation of susceptibility biotypes. The use of mineral oil promotes an increase in the effectiveness of the herbicide, regardless of the biotype. The dose of commercial 60% of the dose is more appropriate to be used. The seeds of red rice and susceptible cultivar IRGA 417 showed susceptibility to the herbicide of the imidazolinone chemical group, while biotypes resistant red rice and Puitá INTA CL showed high resistance to this class of herbicide. The use of herbicide decreased the percentage of normal seedlings of all cultivars. The biotype resistant red rice showed higher germination and vigor than the others, followed by the Puitá INTA CL. Variations in germination temperature below the considered optimal, reduce germination of rice and red rice. The seeds of red rice collected in the Agricultural Center of Palma showed high numbness, and 60 days after collection were not enough to overcome this condition overall.
