No. of bitstreams: 1 2011 - Ludmila Fonseca da Silva.pdf: 418709 bytes, checksum: 3fdbea46dfe13f8e8414fea7b84fbd88 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-25 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico - CNPq / Two experiments were installed. The first experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological quality of sunflower seeds after hydration by the methods of humid atmosphere and soak substrate combined to 10 and 20?C to increase the water content of seeds for 15, 20 and 25%. For this, the initial physiological quality and after the moistening of the seeds was determined by germination tests and vigor. The second experiment was conducted to evaluate the precocity of the primary root emission of sunflower seeds as a vigor test. For this, four seed lots were tested for germination and vigor, among them, the primary root emission aiming percentage of emission and precocity index. From the results it was concluded that the method of soak substrate at 10?C to increase the water content at 15 and 20% was positive for moistening the seeds of high quality, although it has seen little reduction in seedling vigor. The test root emission after 48 hours was effective in classifying different levels of vigor lots of sunflower seeds / Foram instalados dois experimentos. O primeiro foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a qualidade fisiol?gica das sementes de girassol ap?s a hidrata??o pelos m?todos da atmosfera ?mida e substrato ?mido combinados a 10 e 20?C para elevar o teor de ?gua das sementes para 15, 20 e 25%. Para isto, a qualidade fisiol?gica inicial e ap?s o umedecimento das sementes foi determinada pelos testes de germina??o e de vigor. O segundo experimento foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a precocidade da emiss?o de raiz prim?ria de sementes de girassol como teste de vigor. Para isto, quatro lotes de sementes foram submetidos a testes de germina??o e vigor, entre eles, o de emiss?o de raiz prim?ria, visando a porcentagem de emiss?o e o ?ndice de precocidade. Pelos resultados foi poss?vel concluir que o m?todo do substrato ?mido a 10?C visando aumentar o teor de ?gua a 15 e 20% foi favor?vel para o umedecimento das sementes de elevada qualidade, embora tenha sido observado pequena redu??o do vigor das pl?ntulas. O teste de emiss?o de raiz prim?ria ap?s 48 horas foi eficiente na classifica??o de distintos n?veis de vigor dos lotes de sementes de girassol.
