Qualidade de sementes de algodão provenientes de plantas tratadas com doses reduzidas de glyphosate Quality of cotton seeds from plants submitted to reduced rates of glyphosate
Abstract
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência do tratamento de plantas de algodoeiro com doses reduzidas de glyphosate, simulando deriva, na qualidade das sementes produzidas. Plantas dos cultivares ITA-90 e BRS-Facual foram tratadas em dois diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento (quatro e dez folhas) com as doses de 0, 180 e 360 g ha-1 de glyphosate. Avaliaram-se o rendimento de algodão em caroço, a qualidade das sementes, através de massa de 100 sementes, a porcentagem de emergência e a massa seca de plântulas emersas. Houve redução no rendimento de algodão em caroço em todos os tratamentos, exceto em plantas mais velhas tratadas com 180 g ha-1, sem afetar a qualidade das sementes.This work aimed to evaluate the influence of cotton plant treatment using reduced rates of glyphosate, simulating drift, on the quality of the seeds produced. The plants of the ITA-90 and BRS-Facual cultivars were treated at two different development stages (4 and 10 leaves) with glyphosate in the doses of 0; 180 and 360 g ha-1 ea. Cotton crop yield was evaluated. The material was seeded and seed quality evaluated, through mass of 100 seeds, emergence percentage and mass of plantules. There was a reduction in cotton production in the treatments, except in older plants treated with 180 g ha-1. No significant difference in plantule emergence was found in the different treatments.
