Zusammenfassung: | Seedling production is an important step for the tomato production and can be influenced by the initial temperature of germination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of this factor in the tomato germination and seedling growth. It was used four seed lots which were tested for germination, accelerated aging and electrical conductivity to evaluate the physiological potential. After lots characterization, seeds were exposed to initial germination temperatures (20-30, 30, 33 and 35°C) and were analyzed by the SVIS® software. The seedling performance was evaluated using the emergence speed index and percentage, height and dry weight of shoots and roots. In general, the higher temperatures decreased the seedlings development. However, 28 days after sowing, the seedlings growth was similar among temperatures. Key words: Solanum lycopersicun L., vigour, seedling emergence. A producao de mudas e uma das etapas fundamentais para o cultivo do tomateiro e pode ser influenciada pela temperatura inicial de germinacao. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito desse fator no desempenho de plantulas e mudas de tomate. Foram utilizados quatro lotes de sementes de tomate hibrido Mariana, submetidos aos testes de germinacao, envelhecimento acelerado e condutividade eletrica para a avaliacao do potencial fisiologico. Apos a caracterizacao dos lotes, as sementes foram submetidas a diferentes temperaturas iniciais de germinacao (20-30 alternada, 30, 33 e 35°C constantes) para determinacao da curva de embebicao e para analise de plantulas por meio do software SVIS®. Sementes submetidas as mesmas temperaturas foram destinadas a producao de mudas e o desempenho destas foi avaliado por meio da velocidade e porcentagem de emergencia, altura e massa seca da parte aerea e das raizes. As temperaturas mais elevadas prejudicam o desenvolvimento inicial das plantulas, porem as mudas submetidas as diferentes temperaturas, aos 28 dias apos a semeadura, estavam com desempenho semelhante. Palavras-chave: Solanum lycopersicun L., vigor, emergencia de plantulas. |
