Disinfection of soybean seeds using aqueous aroeira extract

Abstract

Knowing the importance of the seeds and knowing that they can be affected by several microorganisms,
the importance of treatments directed to the disinfection of seeds is emphasized.
This work aimed to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of S. terebinthifolius extracts
for disinfection of soybean seeds, evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment on the physiological
and sanitary quality of seeds. It was observed that the aqueous extracts are promising to
promote the disinfection of soybean seeds, presenting positive results to the germination and
control of microorganisms associated to the seeds.
