ABSTRACT
In this study the effect of carbon dioxide on the physiological and sanitary quality of rice seed during storage is reported. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2x3x3 factorial arrangement, with two cultivars (Irga 423 and 424), three concentrations of carbon dioxide (0, 25 and 50%) and three storage periods (15, 30 and 45 days). According to the results, it was found that carbon dioxide maintains germination and vigor, and reduces mycoflora associated with the seed. The incidence of Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp. and Rhizoctonia sp. was reduced respectively in proportions of 50%, 75% and 100%, when the seeds were submitted to the a 50% concentration of carbon dioxide for 45 days storage. As regards seed-seedling transmission, only the fungus was able to promote Bipolaris sp. disease in seedlings from seeds treated with carbon dioxide. In this context, carbon dioxide is a viable alternative for maintaining the quality of rice seeds during storage.
Neste estudo foi avaliado o efeito do dióxido de carbono na qualidade fisiológica e sanitária de sementes de arroz durante o armazenamento. O delineamento experimental usado foi inteiramente casualizado em arranjo fatorial 2x3x3, sendo duas cultivares (Irga 423 e 424), três concentrações de dióxido de carbono (0; 25 e 50 %) e três períodos de armazenamento (15, 30 e 45 dias). De acordo com resultados, observou-se que dióxido de carbono mantém a germinação e vigor, e reduz a micoflora associada às sementes. A incidência de Aspergillus sp., Fusarium sp. e Rhizoctonia sp. foi reduzida respectivamente, nas proporções de 50%, 75% e 100%, quando as sementes foram submetidas à concentração de 50% de dióxido de carbono durante 45 dias de armazenamento. Para a transmissão semente-plântula, apenas o fungo Bipolaris sp foi capaz promover doença nas plântulas de sementes tratadas com dióxido carbono. Neste contexto, o dióxido de carbono torna-se uma alternativa viável para a manutenção da qualidade de sementes de arroz durante o armazenamento.

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) cultivated in almost all tropical and subtropical regions of the world, has its largest output in China, and then, according to FAO data, Turkey, Iran and Brazil, being one of the main crops cultivated in State of Tocantins, Brazil. In this work was investigated the occurrence and distribution of the watermelon viruses, totaling 752 samples taken in a stratified experimental design in four representative regions of production: Gurupi (150), Lagoa da Confusao (232), Formoso do Araguaia (265) and Porto Nacional (105). The sampling and collecting the leaves of plants with the presence of symptoms were performed once a week during the entire cultivation cycle. As a result, were observed by Dot-ELISA method, different types of viruses, such as Papaya ringspot W (PRSV-W), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) (potyvirus), Cucumber mosaic virus ( CMV) (Cucumovirus) and Zucchini lethal chlorosis virus (ZLCV) (Tospovirus). Of these, PRSV-W was predominant (22%), followed by WMV (15%), ZLCV (11%), CMV (5%) and ZYMV (4%). Mixed infections with PRSV-W + WMV and PRSV-W + ZLCV were also observed around 20% frequency (expressed with symptoms differently from a single infection). The results provide important support for the program management viruses.
ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito dos danos mecânicos e fisiológicos ocorridos na colheita e no beneficiamento de sementes de soja cv. Mosoy 8000 RR. As amostras foram retiradas nas fases de colheita manual, colheita mecânica e durante o beneficiamento (recepção, pré-limpeza, limpeza, separador espiral, classificação e mesa gravitacional). Em seguida, as sementes foram submetidas aos testes de pureza, germinação e vigor (primeira contagem da germinação, matéria seca de plântulas, envelhecimento acelerado, condutividade elétrica, tetrazólio, danos mecânicos e emergência em campo). Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com nove pontos de coleta com quatro repetições, sendo as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Nos testes de pureza e emergência em campo foram obtidas diferenças altamente significativas entre as etapas de amostragem, sendo que esta diferença também foi verificada nos testes de vigor realizados (primeira contagem da germinação, matéria seca de plântulas, envelhecimento acelerado, condutividade elétrica), que de um modo geral apresentaram resultados menores para a colheita mecânica e o restante do processo, quando comparados à colheita manual.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of mechanical damage and physiological events in harvesting and processing of soybean cv. Mosoy RR 8000. The samples were taken during harvest manual, mechanical harvesting and during processing (receipt, pre-cleaning, cleaning, spiral separator, classification and gravity table). The physiological and physical quality was analized through the purity, germination, vigor (first germination count, seedling dry matter, accelerated aging, electrical conductivity, tetrazolium, mechanical damages and seedling field emergence) tests. The statistical design used was a entirely randomized with nine treatments (9 sampling points) with 4 replications, being the means compared by the Tuckey test at 5% probability. In the purity and seedling field emergence were observed highly significative difference between the sampling process, also this differences were obtained the first germination count, seedling dry weight matter, accelerated aging and electrical conductivity which showed smaller results for the mechanical harvesting when compared with the manual harvesting. The germination was obtained differences at 5% for the manual harvesting in relation to the mechanical harvesting were obtained smaller results, being the main cause of reducing the soybean seed quality, when compared with the manual harvesting
