Incidence of pathogens and field emergence of soybean seeds subjected to harvest delay

This study aimed at evaluating seed health quality, as well as seedling emergence in the field, of eight soybean cultivars (UFV-16, Splendor, Vencedora, Confiança, UFV-18, UFV-TN 105, Garantia, and Celeste) subjected to different harvest periods. To this, seeds were harvested at the growth stages R8...

Summary:This study aimed at evaluating seed health quality, as well as seedling emergence in the field, of eight soybean cultivars (UFV-16, Splendor, Vencedora, Confiança, UFV-18, UFV-TN 105, Garantia, and Celeste) subjected to different harvest periods. To this, seeds were harvested at the growth stages R8, R8+15 days, and R8+30 days, and then submitted to health test and to the test of seedling emergence in field. Results showed that although seeds harvested at 15 and 30 days after the stage R8 had shown a significant increase of fungi infection, especially by Fusarium spp., Phomopsis spp., and Epicoccum spp., the percent seedling emergence in the field was reduced only to seeds harvested 30 days after the reproductive stage R8. Cultivars have shown differentiated behavior between each other in relation to the percent incidence rate of fungi and seedling emergence in the field; and the seeds least infected by fungi were those allowing the highest percent emergence of seedlings in the field. O presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade sanitária das sementes, bem como a emergência de plântulas em campo, de oito cultivares de soja (UFV-16, Splendor, Vencedora, Confiança, UFV-18, UFV-TN 105, Garantia e Celeste) submetidas a três diferentes épocas de colheita. Para isso, as sementes foram colhidas nos estádios reprodutivos R8, R8+15 dias e R8+30 dias, e então submetidas aos testes de sanidade e emergência de plântulas em campo. Os resultados mostraram que apesar das sementes colhidas aos 15 e 30 dias após o estádio R8 terem apresentado um aumento significativo da infecção por fungos, especialmente por Fusarium spp., Phomopsis spp. e Epicoccum spp., o percentual de emergência das plântulas em campo foi reduzido somente para as sementes colhidas aos 30 dias após o estádio reprodutivo R8. As cultivares apresentaram comportamento diferenciado entre si, em relação aos percentuais de incidência por fungos e emergência de plântulas em campo, sendo que as sementes menos infectadas por fungos foram as que proporcionaram maior porcentagem de emergência de plântulas no campo.
