Quality of maize seeds coming from the consortium with bean

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of maize seeds when grown in a consortium
with pigs using different spatial arrangements for sowing lines. The experimental design
was the completely randomized blocks in a 5x4 factorial scheme. The results were submitted
to analysis of variance and the contrasts of the means compared by the Tukey test at the 5%
probability level. No statistical difference was found at the 5% probability level for the variables
vigor, electrical conductivity, MFPA, MFR and MSR, evidencing that the consortium with bean
pig did not interfere in the results. The best results for the variable weight of 100 seeds were
found in T3 and T5. The intercropping of maize with pigs does not influence the final production
and physiological quality of corn grain.
