Qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja ao longo do armazenamento após o tratamento químico

Abstract

The Brazilian agriculture has as its main highlight the soybean culture, due to the versatility of the grain and its economic return. The production of high physiological quality seeds is the result of the sum of physical, genetic, physiological and sanitary attributes, directly affecting the implementation of the crop in the field. Thus, in order to minimize effects that may affect the yield potential, the chemical treatment of soybean seeds is an alternative to ratify the establishment of an adequate population. In view of this, this study was developed through an integrative review, aiming to gather information and data on evaluations of the physiologicalperformance of soybean seeds when chemically treated using insecticides,fungicides, polymers and amino acids during the storage period. In general, it is observed a reduction in the rate of germination with the extension of the storage period, however, the results of germination still remained above 80%, proving the maintenance of seed quality when treated prior to sowing.
