Plant Hormone in Bean Cultivation Applied in Seed Treatment

Objective: The objective was to investigate different doses of hormone in the spray drier formulation for seed treatment in the bean crop, conducted in the Midwest region. The crop planted was the bean cultivar BRS STILO. Theoretical Framework: Corn is one of the most important food and energy crops, not only in Brazil, of course, but throughout the world. The new paradigm of agricultural management, including amino acids, micronutrients and beneficial fungi and bacteria, is gaining more and more attention with the need to develop sustainable, yet more productive agriculture. Such practices involve not only correction, but also soil nutrition, together with the strengthening of plant metabolism to increase production efficiency and reduce dependence on chemical inputs. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises a field research of a scientific nature, with a quantitative approach. Results and Discussion: The product used in the spray drier formulation met the needs of the bean crop for the BRS STILO cultivar in all its tested variables, improving crop development in several aspects, mainly in productivity. Research Implications: The practical implications of this research are discussed, providing practical parameters for how the results can be applied in the field with returns to the rural producer. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the academic environment by highlighting the originality of the research, whether through an innovative approach, new methodologies and/or practical use. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the need for more research in this area with sustainable practices.
