Conteúdo: | A cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L.) seed sample with 20% of infested seeds was treated with fungicide Captan 50 WP (3 gkg seeds) and primed for six days in darkness at 25C in a KNO3+KH2PO4 (1.5%) aerated solution. Half of the seed sample was primed without fungicide treatment. In nonprimed seeds, fungicide treatment eliminated microorganism incidence. During priming, captan did not give good control of microorganisms. Seed priming increased the microorganism incidence to 60% on fungicide-treated seeds and 94% on nontreated seeds. The conditions established by seed priming contributed to ssed fungal proliferation, and a high incidence of fungi may have contributed to the decrease of seed germination.
