Quality of Stylosanthes Campo Grande seeds coated with different materials

The seed coating technique adds value to the seeds. This allows changing size and shape, facilitating sowing, also application of essential nutrients good development plant in post-germination phases. Therefore, objective this work was evaluate physical physiological characteristics Stylosanthes capitata/macrocephala coated with different materials. For procedure, a N10 Newpack bench machine used. experimental design completely randomized, four replications 50 seeds per plot distributed 10 treatments. materials their respective mixtures significantly altered characteristics, weight thousand (WTS), water content (SWC), maximum diameter (DMA), minimum (DMI) Among materials, sand had highest germination percentage (%G), velocity index (GSI), first count (FGC). maintenance attributes observed (0.25 mm). it is an alternative via seeds, due inert character sand. mixing used not recommended.
