Abstract

The scientific work aimed to evaluate the physiological quality of Sesame Seed storage for 6 months. This work aimed to evaluate the behavior during storage of the physiological and sanitary quality of sesame seeds. The research was carried out at the UFT's Phytotechnics Laboratory, Gurupi-TO. Sesame seeds of BRS cultivars (Anahi, K3, Seda and Trebol) were used. The tests carried out in the evaluations were: Weight of a thousand seeds, Germination, Accelerated aging (Vigor), Germination in sand (Evaluation of emergence and emergence speed index) and Sanity, were conducted in 4 repetitions of 50 seeds per treatment. used were four treatments stored for six months, where the averages were compared using the Tukey test at 5%. During the storage period, sesame seeds did not maintain satisfactory physiological and sanitary quality, the germination reduction was approximately 30% when stored at a temperature of 23 ºC for 6 months, this temperature favors the development and increase of pathogens.
