          Abstract

          ABSTRACT: This study determined the effect of different defoliation frequencies in a long-cycle ryegrass cultivar on yield components and the physiological and sanitary quality of seeds. Four defoliation frequencies were applied (without, one, two, and three defoliations). The time between defoliations was 350 degree-days. At the first, second, and third defoliation time, the plants were 15 cm, 20 cm, and 35 cm, respectively, and were lowered to half their height. The yield components and plant structure were evaluated through the tillers, along with the physiological quality of the seeds, which was verified by germination tests, first germination count, accelerated aging, tetrazolium test, field emergence, and weight of a thousand seeds. For the sanitary quality analysis, the percentage (%) of fungi incidence in the seeds was verified. The second defoliation determined the seeds’ high physiological and sanitary quality due to the higher amount of primary and secondary tillers produced concerning the other treatments. However, there was no significant difference for the third defoliation since the aerial tillers issued the same quality of seeds originated from primary and secondary tillers. The average incidence of fungi such as Colletotrichum sp., Fusarium sp., Phoma sp., and Dreshslera spp. was lower in ryegrass plants subjected to three defoliations.

          RESUMO: O presente estudo teve como objetivo determinar o efeito de diferentes frequências de desfolha em uma cultivar de azevém de ciclo longo, sobre os componentes de rendimento e a qualidade fisiológica e sanitária das sementes.Foram aplicadas quatro frequências de desfolhas (sem, uma, duas e três). O tempo entre desfolhas foi de 350 graus-dia. No momento da primeira, segunda e terceira desfolha as plantas estavam com 15 cm, 20 cm e 35 cm, respectivamente e foram rebaixadas para metade de suas alturas. Avaliaram-se os componentes de rendimento e a estrutura das plantas por meio dos perfilhos, juntamente com a qualidade fisiológica das sementes, a qual foi verificada por testes de germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, envelhecimento acelerado, teste de tetrazólio, emergência a campo e peso de mil sementes. Para a análise da qualidade sanitária verificou-se a porcentagem (%) de incidência de fungos nas sementes. A segunda desfolha determinou alta qualidade fisiológica e sanitária das sementes devido a maior quantidade de perfilhos primários e secundários produzidos em relação aos demais tratamentos. No entanto não houve diferença significativa para a terceira desfolha, visto que nos perfilhos aéreos emitidos observou-se a mesma qualidade das sementes originadas de perfilhos primários e secundários. A incidência média de fungos como Colletotrichum sp., Fusarium sp., Phoma sp. e Dreshsleras pp. foi menor em plantas de azevém submetidas a três desfolhas.

            Relationship between the morphogenesis of Italian ryegrass cv. 'BRS Ponteio' with forage and seed production

            This study aims to verify, accurate and precisely, the responses of Italian ryegrass 'BRS Ponteio' cultivar to different frequencies of defoliation for forage production and especially for seed production. For this purpose, a randomized block design experiment with four replications was conducted. Four frequencies of defoliation were applied (zero, one, two, and three) based on the thermal sum, evaluating the rate of leaf appearance (LAR), phyllochron (P), leaf expansion rate (LER), leaf senescence rate (LSR), stems expansion rate (SER), tillering rate (TR), leaf life span (LL), forage production, proportion of leaf blades, stems plus sheaths, senescent material, and inflorescences, as well as seed production. Second defoliation noticeably altered the morphogenic plant responses, reduced expansion rates and leaf appearance, increased rates of tillering and stems expansion. This phenotypic maintained a high seed production and provided a harvest of forage mass 100% higher than the collected mass in the first cutting. Third defoliation led to an increase of 100% of the harvested forage mass; however, it caused drastic and negative changes in the morphogenic characteristics and seed yielding.

              Nitrogen fertilization of self-seeding Italian ryegrass: effects on plant structure, forage and seed yield

              ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different levels of self-seeding Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) and nitrogen rates - applied additionally after two defoliations - on plant structure, in forage and seed yield. Levels of self-seeding were classified as very high (777 kg ha-1), high (736 kg ha-1), intermediate (624 kg ha-1), and low (234 kg ha-1). Populations were fertilized with zero, 20.25, 40.50, and 60.75 kg ha-1 of supplemental nitrogen applied after two defoliations; respectively, in very high, high, intermediate, and low levels. Higher levels of self-seeding promoted greater forage yield and uniformity of vegetation structure. Number of fertile tillers and number of seeds per plant have benefited by the combination of high self-seeding and supplemental nitrogen fertilization. Despite influencing the uniformity and amount of forage obtained in two defoliations, the very high and low self-seeding levels did not differ in Italian ryegrass seed production. However, linear addition for this same variable was obtained with the inclusion of supplemental nitrogen fertilization. In pastures from low and intermediate self-seeding levels, total dry mass increases linearly with the levels of nitrogen fertilization assessed in this research.
