The seed treatment is a major component of the integrated management of pests and diseases, which results in better establishment of cultures, reflecting positively on grain yield. Furthermore, it is expected to be effective, safety and low cost. This study aimed to identify options for treatment of maize seed best suited to storage without compromising seed quality. Seeds of two corn hybrids were used, which were subjected to 5 treatments: T1-Cropstar + Fertiactil GR; T2-Cropstar + Fulltec More; T3-Cropstar + Maxfertil Semental; T4-Cropstar and T5- control treatment. After treated, the seeds remained in storage with an average temperature of 20 to 22 °C and relative humidity average of 70 to 80%. It was evaluated the physiological quality through germination and seedling weight immediately after treatment and at 21, 35, 50, 72 and 99 days of storage. The treatment of corn seed with insecticide and nutrients applied alone or combined does not compromise the physiological quality up to 99 days after application. Further testing is required to evaluate the productivity of hybrids under the effect of these treatments., O tratamento de sementes tem como um dos principais componentes o manejo integrado de pragas e doenças, favorecendo o estabelecimento das culturas, repercutindo de maneira positiva no rendimento de grãos. Além disso, espera-se que ele tenha eficácia, segurança e custo reduzido. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se identificar opções de tratamento de sementes de milho que melhor se adaptem ao armazenamento, sem comprometer a qualidade fisiológica das sementes. Utilizou-se semente de dois híbridos de milho, as quais foram submetidas a 5 tratamentos: T1–Cropstar + Fertiactil GR; T2-Cropstar + Fulltec Mais; T3-Cropstar + Maxfertil Semental; T4–Cropstar e, T5–testemunha. Depois de tratadas, as sementes permaneceram em armazém com temperatura média de 20 a 22 °C e HR de 70 a 80%. Avaliou-se a qualidade fisiológica através do teste de germinação e peso das plântulas, logo após o tratamento e aos 21, 35, 50, 72 e 99 dias de armazenamento. O tratamento de sementes de milho com inseticida e nutrientes aplicados de forma isolada ou combinada não compromete a qualidade fisiológica até 99 dias após a sua aplicação. É necessário a realização de novos ensaios para avaliar a produtividade dos híbridos sob efeito dos referidos tratamentos.

Cilj ovog istraživanja bilo je utvrditi utjecaj LED rasvjete i fluorescentne rasvjete na klijavost, energiju klijanja, kao i na masu i visinu klijanaca . U ovom pokusu korišteno je sjeme mrkve (Flakke 2) i sjeme špinata (Viroflay). Klijanje i energija klijanja ispitani su pomoću standardnog laboratorijskog postupka. Masa i visina klijanaca zabilježeni su na kraju testiranja klijanja. Statistička analiza podataka pokazala je da FLUO rasvjeta znatno povećala visinu klijanaca mrkve. Međutim, LED rasvjeta je znatno povećala klijanje, masu klijanaca i visinu kod špinata. Dakle, može se zaključiti da su različite vrste rasvjete manje ili više pogodne za različiti uzgoj povrća. Sukladno rezultatima, LED rasvjeta može se preporučiti kao izvor svjetlosti za sporo klijajuće sjeme kao kod špinata., The aim of this study was to determine the influence of LED lighting and fluorescent lighting on germination, germination energy as well as on seedlings fresh weight and height. In this trial the carrot (cv. Flakke 2) and spinach seeds (cv. Viroflay) were used. Germination and germination energy were tested using standard laboratory procedure. Seedlings weight and height were recorded at the end of germination testing. Statistical analysis of data showed that FLUO lighting significantly increased carrot seedlings height. However, LED lighting significantly increased germination, seedlings weight and height in spinach. Therefore, it can be concluded that different types of lighting are more or less suitable for different vegetable specie. Also, according to these results, LED lighting can be advised to have as a light source when testing slow germinating seeds like in spinach.
