Description
Summary:In this context, the country has an interest in increasing the production of wheat, because in addition to the demand for grains, the cultivation of the cereal contributes to the supply of mulch for the production of summer crops such as soybeans and corn (Conab, 2017). [...]in order to explore the potential for wheat and to meet domestic demand in Brazil, adequate crop management strategies, promising genotypes and high quality seeds are needed (Abati et al., 2017). Among the attributes of physiological quality, vigor is highlighted as extremely important as it is directly related to germination, emergence and seedling growth rates in the field, also influencing the yield of several crops (Rossi et al., 2017). [...]even though these effects of seed vigor on wheat development has been studied, it may vary according to cultivar, environment and production management. [...]the objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of different wheat cultivars grown from seeds with different vigor levels. For the evaluation of the performance of plants population in relation to productivity attributes, a manual sowing of different cultivars was carried out aiming a uniform distribution of seeds, in the two cultivation sites (Capäo do Leäo - Site 1 and Nova Boa Vista -Site 2).
