A Seed germination and initial development of rice seedlings inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense

英语. Rice is an annual crop, adapted in highlands and floodplains or flooded, and represents a lot importance for human consumption, in this way, there is a need for research aimed at further initial development of the crop. The objective of this study is to evaluate the germination and vigor of rice seeds, using different doses of bacteria inoculant from Azospirillum brasilense specie. The experimental design was completely randomized (DIC), using six different doses of the inoculant Nitro 1000 based on Azospirillum brasilense, with four replicates of 50 seeds each, using rice cultivar SCS 121CL. The evaluations to germination were realized daily until 14th days, the test of first count at the 5th day and second count at the 14th day after sowing, was also performed the germination speed index (IVG) and the biometric parameters at the end of the 14 days. The dose of 4.0 mL 1000-1 inoculant seeds was the treatment that resulted in a higher percentage of germination in the rice seed. Root length increased with higher doses, but did not give a significant difference in dry root mass. The different doses of the inoculant do not interfered in the development of aerial part of the rice.

葡萄牙语. The rice crop is annual, adapted to highlands, floodplains or flooded, representing high importance for human consumption, requiring research for the optimization of cultivation and its initial development. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the germination and vigor of rice seeds, with the application of inoculant with bacteria of the species Azospirillum brasilense. The experimental design used was completely randomized, using six inoculant doses containing A. brasilense, with 4 replications of 50 seeds each, using the SCS 121 CL cultivar. Germination evaluations were carried out daily up to 14 days, the first count test on the 5th day and the second count on the 14th day after sowing. The germination speed index and the biometric parameters were also performed at the end of the experiment. The dose of 4.0 mL 1000-1 seeds of inoculant was the treatment that resulted in a percentage of germination in the rice seed. Root length increased with higher doses, however there was no significant difference in root dry mass. The different inoculant doses do not interfere with the development of the rice aerial part.
