Vigor tests on acid-delinted cotton seeds

Abstract

Sementes deslintadas quimicamente de duas cultivares de algodão, IAC 13-1 e IAC RM 3, armazenadas em câmara sêca e ambiente de laboratório, sem controle de temperatura e umidade, foram submetidas a diversos testes de vigor e a um experimento de campo, com a finalidade de se procurar determinar os testes mais indicados para este tipo de sementes. Foram utilizados os seguintes testes, em cada época: porcentagem de emergência, calculando-se a porcentagem final de emergência em canteiros para cada tratamento; velocidade de emergência, anotando-se diariamente, no teste anteriormente descrito, o número de plântulas emersas e fazendo-se o cálculo do índice de velocidade de emergência; teste de germinação utilizando-se a sua primeira contagem como teste de vigor; quatro testes de envelhecimento rápido, variando entre eles os tempos de permanência das sementes na câmara de envelhecimento, que foram de 36, 48, 60 e 72 horas, após o que eram instalados testes de germinação; três testes de cloreto de amonio, à 4%, variando entre eles períodos de imersão das sementes na solução, que foram de 1, 2 e 3 horas, após o que as sementes eram lavadas e em seguida eram instalados testes de germinação. Os resultados destes testes foram submetidos a análise de correlação; estes mesmos resultados, mais os de porcentagem de emergência, velocidade de emergência e produção, obtidos no ensaio de campo, foram submetidos a análise de variância e teste de Tukey. As análises e interpretações dos resultados permitiram as seguintes conclusões principais: o número de dias para a última contagem do teste de germinação pode ser reduzido; a primeira contagem do teste de germinação não se revelou eficiente como teste de vigor; o teste de envelhecimento rápido, com o período de permanência das sementes na câmara de envelhecimento de 72 horas, foi o melhor teste de vigor.

With the purpose of determining the best vigor tests for cotton seeds, laboratory tests and a field experiment were made, using chemically delinted seeds of two cultivars, I AC 13-1 and IAC RM-3, stored in a dry chamber and under laboratory conditions. The following laboratory tests were performed: 1. percentage of emergence; 2. velocity of emergence - based on the number of plants emerged daily; 3 germination - being it's first counting as a vigor test; 4. rapid aging - the seeds were kept in the rapid aging chamber for 36, 48 60 and 72 hours; 5 ammonium chloride - the seeds were imerged in a 4% solution for 1,2 and 3 hours. Seed yield and the percentage and velocity of emergence were evaluated in the field experiment. The statistical analysis and interpretation of the results indicated that: the number of days required to make the last counting of the germination can be reduced; the first counting of this test was not efficient to determine the seed vigor; the best vigor test was obtained by keeping the seeds in the rapid aging chamber for 72 hours.
