Germinación de semillas del pasto saboya (Panicum maximum), expuestos a diferentes niveles de irradiación con rayos gamma (60Co) en el cantón Babahoyo

VIII. SUMMARY This research was carried out with the purpose of evaluating the germination of seeds of the Savoy grass (Panicum maximum), exposed to different levels of irradiation with gamma rays (60Co) located within the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the Technical University of Babahoyo located in Babahoyo province from the rivers. For the development of this experimental work savoy grass seed, irradiated at different levels of gamma rays (60Co) was used, this was done in the Ministry of Electricity and Non-Renewable EnerGy whose research laboratory is located in Alóag province of Pichincha. To evaluate the variability of phenotypic characteristics of the Savoy the following variables were used: germination, height of the plant, chlorophyll level, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, stem diameter, number of leaves, flowering days, yield of dry matter. As results, the somatic effects observed in the plants evaluated consisted of the reduction in the germination and height of the seeds, appearance of sterile seeds. The irradiation levels applied in the treatments T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 did not show significant statistical differences in all the variables evaluated. Similar results were obtained with the dry biomass variable and yields. All irradiated and non-irradiated treatments did not show statistical differences, numerically the treatment that stood out was T2 (50 Gy) and T3 (75 Gy). Key words: Panicum maximum; phenotypic characteristics; irradiation.
