Organic agriculture has been growing in recent years; however, one of the limitations in this area is the treatment of seeds with natural products and less aggressive to the environment. Seed biopriming with brown seaweed extract can be used to improve the physiological quality of seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of seed biopriming with Ascophyllum nodosum extracts (algae) on pepper and tomato seed quality. Pepper seeds of All Big and Alegria cultivars (cvs), and tomato seeds of Cereja and Rio Grande cvs were used. The extract concentrations were 0, 125, 250, and 375 ppm. A completely randomized design in a 2×4 factorial scheme was used. The variables analyzed were percentage germination; germination speed index; root and shoot length; and root and shoot dry weight. Sweet pepper biopriming at 125 ppm enhanced germination in 16.5% for All Big cv; but it did not benefit Alegria cv. A. nodosum as a biopriming provided an increase of 50% in root length growth in Alegria cv; although, it had a negative effect on the growth of pepper seedlings of the All Big cv at 375 ppm. Tomato seed biopriming with A. nodosum at 125 ppm, enhanced root and shoot growth by 38 and 31% of Cereja cv; Nevertheless, it did not provide higher levels of germination. For Rio Grande cv, shoot growth was benefited at 125 ppm, with approximately 1.04 cm larger than the control. The effect of Ascophyllum nodosum priming depended on its concentration and the cultivar given that, different responses were obtained, also due to the compounds of the extract.
Sementes de alta qualidade são fundamentais no sucesso dos cultivos. O condicionamento de sementes é uma técnica que pode melhorar a qualidade fisiológica, e pode ser feito com várias substâncias, inclusive compostos bioativos. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o efeito do biocondicionamento, com extrato de alga vermelha, de sementes de duas cultivares de tomate na qualidade fisiológica. O experimento foi realizado em laboratório. Foram analisadas as seguintes variáveis: germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, comprimento de raiz e parte aérea e comprimento de plântulas por análise de imagens. A cultivar Rio Grande não foi positivamente influenciada pelo biocondicionamento no geral, com efeito inibitório de crescimento de raiz na concentração de 250 ppm, porém com efeito positivo em comprimento de parte aérea. Para a cultivar Cereja, o biocondicionamento ocasionou melhora em germinação em 375 ppm e no comprimento de plântulas os melhores resultados foram obtidos a 125 ppm.
To guarantee seeds with high physiological quality performing in a uniform, resilient and tolerant to abiotic stress plant stand, procedures that can improve the potential of the processed seed. Biostimulants are considered promising alternatives, both to improve the physiological performance of plants and in resilience and stress tolerance. The objective of this study was to verify the effect of coatingseeds of different cultivars of carrots with biostimulant based on algae Solieria filiformison seed germination and seedling development under thermal stress. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with a 3 x 4 factorial scheme (temperaturesand doses), with five replications. Carrot seeds from the cultivars Brasília, Danvers, Esplanada and Planalto were used, and the seeds were coated with doses of 0, 2, 4 and 8 mL.L-1 of biostimulant. After covering, the seeds were submitted to the following: percentage and speed of germination, length of seedlings and dry mass of seedlings. The results obtainedwere found in the analysis of variation and in the analysis of regression (doses) and Tukey's test (moderate). The analysis and interpretation of the results obtained in the present study allowed to conclude the high thermal stress, for all varieties, at a temperature of 35 ° C, to reduce the reduction of the analyzed variables. Furthermore, the covering of carrot seeds with the biostimulant of Solieria filiformis, in general, does not promote improvements in seed germination and in the development of carrot seedlings under thermal stress (35 °C); however, we present beneficial results for the variables analyzed at 20 and 30 ° C.
São necessárias sementes com elevado vigor para que ocorra a germinação e estabelecimento de mudas de forma adequada e rápida, principalmente quando submetidas em situações de estresse. Os bioestimulantes são substâncias capazes promover melhor desempenho fisiológico de plantas, além de atuar na tolerância a estresses bióticos e abióticos. Dessa forma, objetivou-se verificar o efeito do recobrimento de sementes de brócolis com bioestimulantes a base de Ascophyllum nodosum e Solieria sp. na germinação de sementes e desenvolvimento de plântulas, em situações adequadas e de estresse. Utilizou-se sementes de brócolis da cultivar Ramoso Santana, e o recobrimento das sementes foi realizado com as doses de 0, 0,5, 1,0, 2,0 e 4,0 mL.L-1 de bioestimulante. Após o recobrimento as sementes foram submetidas as seguintes avaliações: porcentagem e velocidade de germinação, comprimento de plântulas e massa seca de plântulas, envelhecimento acelerado, condutividade elétrica e emergência e índice de velocidade de emergência de plântulas. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e à análise de regressão (doses) e teste de Tukey (temperaturas). A partir da análise dos dados obtidos, observou-se estresse térmico elevado, para ambos os tratamentos, na temperatura de 35°C, resultando na redução das variáveis analisadas. De maneira geral, observou-se desempenho superior para sementes tratadas com Ascophyllum nodosum.
