Viability of soybean seed produced under different agro-meteorological conditions in Vojvodina
2011
At the time of soybean seed sowing in the field, a high soil moisture, low
soil and air temperatures, and crasts formation may occur, which can lead to
slow germination, poor seedling establishment, and in some cases to loss of
seed vigor. Due to the importance and prevalence of soybean the aim of this
study was to determine the quality and seed viability of different genotypes
produced at three locations in Vojvodina during 2009 and 2010. Eight soybean
varieties (Afrodita, Valjevka, Balkan, Novosadjanka, Ravnica, Ana,
Vojvodjanka and Venera) produced in Vrbas, Senta and Inđija during 2009 and
2010 were tested. Seed germination was determined using Standard laboratory
test, and vigor tests (cold test, and accelerated aging test). Studied
genotypes baheved differently in different years and at different localities.
Genotype Venera achieved high germination values in all applied tests in
2009, while genotype Afrodita had high values of the tested parameter when
conventional laboratory test was applied, and the lowest values were recorded
when vigor tests were applied. Values obtained in 2010 when all tests were
applied were above the prescribed minimum. Locality of Vrbas proved to be
more favorable for seed production in relation to localities of Indjija and
Senta due to better rainfall distribution.
