Associação de Alternaria spp. com sementes de apiáceas: métodos de inoculação e influência na qualidade fisiológica

Abstract

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the physiologic quality of carrot seeds, cilantro and parsley, associated with Alternaria alternata and A. dauci under two inoculation methods, conidial suspension and restriction hidric. The isolated of A. dauci and A. alternata were obtained, respectively, of carrot plants with symptom of the disease and of seeds of each one of the species, submitted to an initial test of sanity (Blotter Test). The inoculation treatments for suspension consisted in: testifies (distilled water and sterilized), conidial suspension of A. alternata, conidial suspension of A. dauci and conidial suspension of both species (A. alternata + A. dauci). Para restriction hidric: PDA + manitol (testifies); PDA + manitol + A. alternata; PDA + manitol + A. dauci; PDA + manitol + A.alternata + A.dauci. The physiologic quality of the seeds was evaluated by a group of tests accomplished in controlled conditions of laboratory and green house. The quality of carrot seeds, cilantro and parsley is influence by the association with it would Alternaria alternata and A. dauci. The use of the inoculation of seeds through the conidial suspension is efficient in the contamination of carrot seeds for A. alternata and A. dauci. The use of the manitol, as a restritor hidric, is effective for the obtaining of seeds infected by A. dauci in the culture of the parsley. Already for cilantro seeds, both methods demonstrated satisfactory levels of infection.
