AVALIAÇÕES EM TESTE DE GERMINAÇÃO DE SEMENTES DE FEIJÃO (Phaseolus vulgaris) SUBMETIDAS A COMPOSTO ORGÂNICO

Abstract

With the high production of chicken meat, the generation of residues is inevitable, with chicken litter being the main generator of environmental problems. Despite bringing benefits to the soil, chicken litter has some issues that make it difficult to use. Composting is the main treatment making the compost mature with the addition of minerals and inoculants. Thus, this work aims to verify how and in which aspects the organic compost from chicken litter can influence the germination and formation of bean seedlings. The experiment was carried out at the Instituto Federal Goiano - Campus Rio Verde, next to the Seed Laboratory, located in the Southwest of the State of Goiás, municipality of Rio Verde-GO. The experimental design used was completely randomized, with two treatments, with four replications. Evaluations were carried out during the seed germination test. The organic compound extract used did not show phytotoxicity to bean seedlings, not having an inhibiting action on germination. The values of normal seedlings were higher in the treatment with the organic compost extract. There was no significant difference between the studied treatments for germination speed index parameters, seedling and root length and dry mass.
