Abstract
Adequacy of methodology for conducting germination test in forage pea seeds
Highlights
Arvense) is intended for animal feeding (GIORDANO; PEREIRA, 1989; TAN et al, 2013; CARGNELUTTI FILHO et al, 2015). This genotype presents important characteristics for green manuring and soil coverage, being cultivated in the winter, when many agricultural areas remain unused in Brazil (PINNOW et al, 2013; CARGNELUTTI FILHO et al, 2015)
For commercial P. sativum subsp. arvense seeds, regulated by seed standards, the requirements are lower as regards the quality of lots in relation to large vegetable crops, which is due to the fact that the technology involved in the production of seeds of this species is less developed in relation to the other species cultivated for longer time (MACHADO et al, 2011)
It was noted by the results that there was significant interaction by the F test, between substrates and temperatures for dead seeds and final and average times; between lots and temperatures for abnormal seedlings, dead seeds and average time
Summary
Arvense) is intended for animal feeding (GIORDANO; PEREIRA, 1989; TAN et al, 2013; CARGNELUTTI FILHO et al, 2015). This genotype presents important characteristics for green manuring and soil coverage, being cultivated in the winter, when many agricultural areas remain unused in Brazil (PINNOW et al, 2013; CARGNELUTTI FILHO et al, 2015). Methods of analysis have been studied, aiming at the regular, rapid and complete germination of seeds under controlled conditions Such conditions, considered to be optimal, are standardized so that the results of germination tests can be reproduced and compared, within limits tolerated by the Rules for Seed Testing - RAS (BRASIL, 2009)
