Desempenho de sementes de soja tratadas com fungicidas e peliculizadas durante o armazenamento

Abstract

The objective of this work was to avaluate the performance of soybean seeds treated with fungicides in association with film coating during storage. Seeds of the cultivar Pintado were used, being submitted or not to application of thiram+thiabendazole and / or to film coating with the polimers AGL 205 or AGL 202. Later, the seeds were packed into multilayer paper packages and stored for nine months under non-conditioned warehouse conditions. Physiological and sanitary qualities of the seeds were evaluated initially and at every three months of storage by of the following determinations: seed water content; germination test; cold test; emergence in sand/soil substrate test; accelerated aging test; and sanity test. Soybean seeds treated with thiram+thiabendazole had the best performance during storage. The polymers did not affect the physiological quality of the seeds and promoted better adherence of the fungicides, without affecting their effects.
