Abstract

Seed oí maize, T-14, was treated with 750 ppm of active ingredient of Benomyl and
Tiabendazol, and stored al 85% relative humidity and 27°C during 180 days. At 60
and 120 days significan! differences were detected between the germination of the
treated and non treated seed. The treated seeds had a higher germination porcentages
than the non treated seeds. At 180 days there were not significant differences in germination
between treatments. Fungí were not detected at 60 and 120 days in the treated
seeds, this was due to the fungicidal residues that remained on the seeds inhibiting the
growth of storage fungi on the agar. However at 180 days the treated seeds yielded
storage fungi when plated on agar, since the fungicides had suffered chemical degradation
allowing the fungi to growth on the agar médium.
