Sweet pepper seed responses to inoculation with microorganisms and coating with micronutrients, aminoacids and plant growth regulators

Abstract: Small sized seeds, such as the horticultural species, have limited quantities of reserves that can be balanced by coating then with essential nutrients for their initial development. In addition, inoculation of the seeds with microorganisms may protect the plants against phytopathogens, thus enhancing their growth. The present work had the objective of evaluate the physiological quality and seedling development of sweet pepper seeds and seedlings coated with several kind of films.

“…The microenvironment may contain more carbon released from root due to plant growth and metabolism (Hu & St. Leger 2002;Bruck 2005). Meanwhile, this study suggests that M. a isopliae inoculated by conidia-suspensiondrenching or conidia-coating had no effect on the germination of peanut seeds, similarly to the results by Kabaluk and Ericsson (2007) in corn and by Diniz et al (2009) in sweet pepper. The process of seed germination contains a series of orderly physiological and biochemical reactions and morphological changes that are regulated by genetics.…”

“…Seeds of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum) and of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) treated with gibberellic acid presented higher germination, as well (ARAGÃO et al, 2003;DINIZ et al, 2009). Such behavior may be explained by the fact that gibberellins promote growth by increasing the plasticity of the cell wall followed by hydrolysis of starch into sugar, which reduces the water potential in the cell, resulting in entry of water therein and promoting elongation (ARTECA, 1996).…”

“…The use of micronutrient enriched seeds (seed priming) has been reported to be an easier and cost-effective strategy in overcoming micronutrient deficiencies (Harris et al, 1999;Rakshit et al, 2013). Seed priming has been shown to enhance the speed of germination (Deering & Young, 2006), reduce the emergence time, enhance seedling vigour (Harris, 1996) and obtain better stand establishment (Diniz et al, 2009), and increase yield (Yilmaz et al, 1998) in wheat, rice, maize, sorghum, chickpea, and soybean. There is evidence that sowing seeds enriched with micronutrients is also agronomically beneficial (Welch, 1986).…”
