RESUMO

The rising interest in using biodiesel as an alternative energy source is turning some oleaginous crops, like castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), become very important. Although its importance, castor bean yields must have high quality seeds. There are no registered chemical products for castor bean crop; this study aimed to verify fungicide treatments in castor bean seeds (Ricinus communis L.), with registered and recommended fungicides for other oil crops species. Three seed lots of the cultivar IAC 2028 (from the first, second and third raceme, respectively) and two seed lots of the cultivar Guarani (commercial lots with the three racemes mixed) were treated using the fungicides: Captan 500 TS, Derosal Plus, Vitavax-Thiram 200 SC, Maxim XL, Thiram 480 TS, Captan 500 TS + Derosal, Vitavax-Thiram 200 SC + Terraclor 750PM, Fegatex and Trichodermil EP. Seeds were stored in paper bags for six months in uncontrolled environment, and the evaluations contemplate the sanitary and physiological quality after seed treatment and after a period of six month storage. The sanitary test was carried out by the blotter incubation method with no freezing and evaluated after ten days. Results of the sanitary test, germination, first count of germination, accelerated aging, seedling emergence in the field and seed vigor imaging system (SVIS®), showed that most of the fungicide treatments reduced fungi incidence of pathogens associated to castor bean seeds. The most efficient fungicides in controlling fungi associated to the seeds, without any damage to the physiological quality, were Vitavax-Thiram+Terraclor, followed by Vitavax-Thiram, Captan+Derosal, Derosal Plus, Captan and Thiram. The computer analysis system has efficiency equivalent to first count germination and seedling emergence in the field. The X-ray test is effective in evaluating the internal morphology of castor bean seeds and its reflection on the physiological potential.
