Analysis of seed quality in NS sunflower hybrid seed processed between 2010 and 2014

Abstract

This paper analyzed the processed seed of five sunflower hybrid seed developed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The cultivars were Rimi PR, Duško, NS Dukat, Sumo 1 PR and Sremac. The analysis was conducted on seed lots processed between 2010 and 2014 and involved the following parameters: seed purity percentage, 1000-seed weight, germination energy, germination, seed moisture, number of weed seeds per 1000 grams of seed. The results of the study produced the following average values: seed purity - 99.72%, 1000-seed weight - 67.59g, germination energy - 88.2%, germination - 91.8%, seed moisture - 8.3%. There were not found weeds seeds as well as pathogens on the seed samples, these values are all within the legally prescribed limits.

U ovom radu analizirano je dorađeno seme pet hibrida suncokreta nastalih u Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo u Novom Sadu: Rimi PR, Duško, NS Dukat, Sumo 1 PR i Sremac. Analiza je sprovedena po partijama dorađenog semena u periodu od 2010. do 2014. godine i obuhvatila je sledeće parametre: čistoću semena, masu 1000 semena, energiju klijanja, klijavost, vlažnost semena i broj zrna korova u 1000 grama semena. Rezultati su pokazali da je prosečna čistoća bila 99,72%, masa 1000 semena 67,59 g, energija klijanja 88,2%, klijavost 91,8%, vlažnost semena 8,3%. U uzorcima nije utvrđeno prisustvo korova, kao ni patogena na semenu, što zadovoljava zakonom propisane vrednosti.
