| Micronutrients, such as zinc, are important for the metabolic activities that can benefit germination and seed vigor because many soils are deficient in this micronutrient. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of coating oat seeds with zinc on the physiological quality and yield of the seeds produced. The experimental design was completely randomized, with a 2 x 5 factorial arrangement of the following, with four replications per treatment: factor A - product 1, 780 g L-1 zinc, and product 2, 17 and 600 g L-1 nitrogen and zinc, respectively; and factor B - 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mL of each product kg-1 seed. The results were subjected to an analysis of variance and a means comparison test (p ≤ 0.5 using Tukey’s test). The experimental plots... |
