Abstract/Contents: | "Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is forage with the potential to increase pasture area in Southern Brazil. It is an option for more profitable and intensive use of floodplain areas during the cold seasons of the year. However, irrigation of crops in these areas in the summer can result in the salinization of the soils that have inadequate drainage, preventing the removal of salt by leaching. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of ryegrass seeds using different concentrations of sodium chloride. Four commercial ryegrass cultivars of PGG Wrightson Seeds Brazil were used: Inia Bakarat, Inia Scorpio, Inia Camaro, and La Estanzuela 284. Saline substrates consisted of Germitest® paper wetted with sodium chloride solution at five osmotic potentials (0, -0.2, -0.4, - 0.6 and -0.8 MPa). The study was conducted at the 'Flavio Rocha' Didactic Seeds Analysis Laboratory and involved analysis of the following indicators of salt stress response: germination (%), first germination count (%), plantlet length (cm), and plantlet dry phytomass (mg/seedling). The results showed that saline stress conditions caused by reduced osmotic potential affected ryegrass seed germination and vigor, as well as decreased the stature of the aerial and root parts of the seedlings. Out of the cultivars evaluated, La Estanzuela 284 was the most tolerant to saline stress. It is possible to cultivate ryegrass in areas with salinity up to mean values of -0.2 MPa osmotic potential. In this study, no significant decrease in seedling performance was observed." |
