Resumo:

A combinação ótima entre densidade de semeadura e dose de nitrogênio (N) na adubação é um desafio para a produção de sementes de alta qualidade, considerando a diversidade de genótipos e ambientes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o rendimento e a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de trigo em função da densidade de semeadura e dose de N, em diferentes condições edafoclimáticas. O experimento foi conduzido em três ambientes (Londrina, Cascavel e Ponta Grossa) em delineamento em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições, considerando um arranjo fatorial 2 × 3 × 4 composto por dois genótipos (BRS Anambé e WT 15-025), três densidades de semeadura (250, 350 e 450 sementes.m^-2) e quatro doses de N (0, 40, 80 e 120 kg.ha^-1). Foram avaliadas as seguintes características de sementes: rendimento, primeira contagem de germinação, germinação final de sementes, emergência de plântulas, índice de velocidade de emergência, comprimento de plântula e massa seca de plântula. O rendimento de sementes variou em função do ambiente e do genótipo. BRS Anambé produziu sementes com maior qualidade fisiológica. A combinação ótima entre densidade de semeadura e dose de N que proporcionou o rendimento econômico mais adequado, sem afetar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de trigo, variou com o ambiente e foi estimada em 250 sementes.m^-2 × 0 kg.ha^-1 N para Londrina e Cascavel, e 350 sementes.m^-2 × 18 kg.ha^-1 N para Ponta Grossa.
