Efeito do tempo de armazenagem na qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja tratadas com inseticidas e fungicidas

Abstract

The soybean culture is highlighted in Brazilian agriculture, due to the advances in production technology, which has provided an increase in the cultivated area and in the yield of the crop in recent years, with emphasis on the seed technology used. The most sought after factors in seed science after harvest are the maintenance of their quality, combined with protection against pests from the initial stage of crop development. The protection is made by the application of insecticides and fungicides to the seeds, however, this should not cause damage to the physiological quality of the batches, either immediately after treatment or after treatment and storage. The objective of the study was to gather data from the scientific community, highlighting the importance of quality and seed treatment for soybean cultivation, as well as discussing factors that affect the storage of soybean seeds and the positive or negative impacts of treatment and storage time. on the physiological quality of seeds. The data collected showed that the treatment is effective in protecting the seeds from attack by pests and that the majority of the use of fungicides and insecticides via seeds does not interfere with the physiological quality of the seed immediately after treatment and after treatment and storage periods.
