Revisão bibliográfica acerca de dano mecânico em sementes de soja, Uma

Abstract

Soybean production requires more intensive and innovative management every day to maximize productivity and reduce losses, since in recent years it has been of great importance in the national and international agricultural scenario. Studying the impact of mechanical damage that occurs in the harvesting and processing of soybean seeds is the objective of this research. For the elaboration of this project, a literary review of research of studies by authors on the subject was developed. When we talk about seed quality, we have to talk about the high susceptibility of seed integument to mechanical damage, which is an important character for the quality of soybean seeds. In this investigation, however, it was possible to identify some factors common to the texts read and seek possible solutions for the improvement of seed lots with as little damage as possible.
