Qualidade de sementes de coentro oriundas de consórcios no sertão paraibano.

Abstract

The intercropping of vegetable systems, since driven of correct form, provide diverse advantages in relation to the monoculture. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of coriander seeds produced in partnership with cabbage - leaf lettuce and chaves in Paraiba backlands. They were evaluated six treatments: Coriander monoculture (TI )l Coriander intercropping with cabbage - leaf lettuce and chaves (T2)l Coriander intercropping with cauliflower and lettuce leaf (T3)l Coriander intercropping with cabbage-leaf and green onions (T4 )l Coriander intercropping with cabbage-leaf (T5) and coriander intercropping with lettuce (T6). Coriander seeds were produced in farming systems, after harvest, were put to dry under laboratory conditions, processed and stored in plastic bags, to evaluation of their physical, physiological and sanitary qualities. The experiment was realised in conditions of field and in analysis laboratory of seeds in the Center of Sciences and Agrifood Technology of the Federal University of Campina Grande, Campus Pombas. PB. Being analysed: weight of one thousand seedsl germination percentagem first account of geminationl index of speed of germinationl accelerated aging, emergency percentagem emergency speedl health of coriander seeds. We used a completely randomized design, with data submitted to analysis of variance and means compared by Tukey test at 5 % probability. It is found that coriander seeds produced from the cultivation of intercropping coriander and chaves and / or cabbage -leaf have better physical and physiological quality. The sanitary quality of coriander seeds coming from intercropping with cabbage - leaf, onions and lettuce, does not inhibit the presence of fungus formed seeds. The most common fungi found in coriander seeds grown in monoculture and intercropping are 4/farda/fa a/fernafa, Fusarfum spp, Rh/zol)us spp e Aspergillus flavus.
