OPTIMIZATION OF COTTON SEED DEVELOPMENT WITH COMMERCIAL INOCULANT
Keywords
Abstract
Cotton is a crop of great economic importance. Improving germination and initial vigor of seedlings can result in higher productivity and quality of the cotton produced. To achieve high productivity in most crops, mineral fertilizers are used, thus increasing production costs and environmental impacts. The use of Azospirillum brasilense can potentially increase resource use efficiency, leading to more robust and healthier crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ideal dose of the bacterium Azospirillum brasilense in the germination of cotton seeds of the cultivar TMG22 GLTP. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design (DIC), and the cotton cultivar used will be TMG22 GLTP. Sowing took place in Styrofoam trays with 2 seeds per cell. The substrate used consisted of coarse sand and Topstrato in a 1:1 ratio. The evaluations took place up to 7 days after the emergency. The variables analyzed were: seedling length and germination percentage.
