In the state of Santa Catarina (SC), irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.) is produced in a pre-germinated system widely sown in monoculture areas and in regions where long periods of wetness occur, factors that favor the occurrence of diseases (SOSBAI, 2018SOSBAI. Arroz irrigado: recomendações técnicas da pesquisa para o Sul do Brasil. In: XXXII Reunião Técnica da Cultura do Arroz Irrigado, 2018, Farroupilha, RS. Cachoeirinha: Sociedade Sul-Brasileira de Arroz Irrigado, 2018, 205p. Available from: <Available from: http://www.sosbai.com.br/docs/Boletim_RT_2016.pdf >. Accessed: Jan. 22, 2020.

). In this crop system the pathogenic fungus inoculum is easily dispersed to the panicles with subsequent infection of grains or seeds, which can cause stains and their reduction (MIURA, 2002MIURA, L. Doenças. In: Epagri Arroz irrigado: Sistema pré-germinado. Florianóplis, Epagri/ GMC, 2002, 203-227p.).

Fungi Alternaria padwickii (Ganguly), Bipolaris oryzae (Haan’s Breda), Cercospora janseana (Racib.), Fusarium moniliforme (Sheldon), Microdochium albescens (Thüm.) syn. Microdochium oryzae; Gerlachia oryzae (Hashioka & Yokogi), Pyricularia oryzae (Cav.) and Sarocladium oryzae (Saw) some of the main pathogens associated with rice seed (MEW & GONZALES, 2002MEW, T. W.; GONZALES, P. A handbook of rice seedborne fungi. Los Baños, (Philippines): International Rice Research Institute. Science Publishers, Inc. 2002, 83p.; SOSBAI, 2018). Infected seeds may affect physiological quality and constitute an important agent of pathogen dissemination (OU, 1972OU, S. H. Rice diseases. Surrey: Commonwealth Mycological Institute, 1972. 368p.).

Rice seed production in SC focuses mainly on the pursuit of high physiological quality. There is no obvious concern for seed production with high health quality or low incidence of pathogens. The aim of this research was to identify and quantify fungi infecting seeds of irrigated rice cultivars produced in the pre-germinated system in the Alto Vale do Itajaí (AVI), SC, Brazil.

Seed samples produced in the 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18 crops season, benefited by Cooperative Cravil, were analyzed in a total of 479 lots of SCS121 CL (165 lots), SCS122 Miura (85), SCS116 Satoru cultivars. (79), EPAGRI 109 (58), SCSBRS Tio Taka (49), SCS118 Marquês (22), SCS117 CL (11) and Primoriso CL (10), from the AVI region, SC. Disease management in these crops followed the indications of the cooperative. For chemical control, a mixture of strobirulin + triazole + benzothiazole was sprayed at the stages of booting and flowering and / or grain formation (SOSBAI, 2018). In the cooperative the seeds were stored in polypropylene bags with humidity and room temperature. Seeds were collected and sent to the Plant Pathology Laboratory Santa Catarina State University (UDESC). Detection of fungi was done in PSA + A culture medium (Potato-Sucrose-Agar + Antibiotic = 200 mg L-1 streptomycin sulfate). Seeds were disinfected with sodium hypochlorite solution (1%) for two minutes and then washed with sterile water. For each lot, 200 seeds were analyzed, four replicates of 50, sown in acrylic Petri dishes and kept in growth chambers for seven days at 25 ºC and 12 hours photoperiod. For detection of P. oryzae the paper substrate incubation method (blotter test) was used. Six lots were randomly selected from each cultivar, totaling 48 lots. The seeds were arranged in a gerbox acrylic box containing two layers of moistened filter paper and incubated in a continuous light growth chamber at 27 ºC. The evaluation was performed at four and seven days. A completely randomized experimental design was used for both detection methods. Were considered infected in which it was possible to identify the colony and / or structures of the fungi, confirming the identification with microscope (BARNETT & HUNTER, 1998BARNETT, H. L.; HUNTER, B. B. Illustred genera of imperfect fungi. The American Phytopathological Society. St. Paul. 1998. 218p.).

The main pathogenic fungus associated with seeds were M. albescens with 54.9% of the average incidence and 100% of the prevalence, respectively followed by A. padwikii (7.7% / 90.6%), B. oryzae (3.3% / 59.9%), Curvularia sp. (3.1% / 66.5%) and S. oryzae (2.7% / 49.4%) (Table 1 and table 2). Similar results were reported in irrigated rice cultivars in 350 samples analyzed in Rio Grande do Sul State (RS), from 1993 to 1998, also detecting G. oryzae (18.0%), Alternaria sp. (6.3%), C. lunata (4.9%) and B. oryzae (2.6%) (FRANCO et al., 2001FRANCO, D. F. et al. Fungos associados a sementes de arroz irrigado no Rio Grande do Sul. Revista Brasileira de Agrociência, v.7, p.235-236, 2001. Available from: <Available from: http://www.ufpel.tche.br/faem/agrociencia/v7n3/artigo16.pdf >. Accessed: Jan. 30, 2020.
http://www.ufpel.tche.br/faem/agrocienci...
). In another study also in RS, in 162 plots of rice from the 2005/06 crop season, Alternaria sp. (9.6%), Bipolaris sp. (9.3%), Gerlachia sp. (4.9%) and Curvularia sp. (3.8%) (FARIAS et al., 2007FARIAS, J. R. C. et al. Incidência de fungos associados a sementes de arroz em seis regiões produtoras do Rio Grande do Sul. Revista Brasileira de Agrociência, v.14, p.487-490, 2007. Available from: <Available from: https://periodicos.ufpel.edu.br/ojs2/index.php/CAST/article/viewFile/1395/1381 >. Accessed: Jan, 30, 2020.

Table 2
Average prevalence of fungi associated with seeds of irrigated rice cultivars produced in the Alto Vale do Itajaí Region, Santa Catarina State. Lages, 2019.

The fungus M. albescens was the only with 100% prevalence (Table 2). This pathogen causes scalding in rice leaves, a growing disease in crop in the AVI, SC. The fungus was reported in RS association with seeds ranging from 6 to 31% (average 18%) (FRANCO et al., 2001FRANCO, D. F. et al. Fungos associados a sementes de arroz irrigado no Rio Grande do Sul. Revista Brasileira de Agrociência, v.7, p.235-236, 2001. Available from: <Available from: http://www.ufpel.tche.br/faem/agrociencia/v7n3/artigo16.pdf >. Accessed: Jan. 30, 2020.
http://www.ufpel.tche.br/faem/agrocienci...
) and 1 to 33% (average 4.9%) (FARIAS et al., 2007FARIAS, J. R. C. et al. Incidência de fungos associados a sementes de arroz em seis regiões produtoras do Rio Grande do Sul. Revista Brasileira de Agrociência, v.14, p.487-490, 2007. Available from: <Available from: https://periodicos.ufpel.edu.br/ojs2/index.php/CAST/article/viewFile/1395/1381 >. Accessed: Jan, 30, 2020.
https://periodicos.ufpel.edu.br/ojs2/ind...
), but with a lower incidence than that obtained in this study (range 43.1 to 72.3% and average 54.9%). This may be related to the detection method, reaction of rice genotypes and cropping systems. MALAVOLTA (2007MALAVOLTA, V. M. A. et al. Incidência de fungos e quantificação de danos em sementes de genótipos de arroz. Summa Phytopathologica, v.33, p.280-286, 2007.

https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S01...
), using filter paper method detected an average incidence of M. oryzae of 24.6 and 29.8%, respectively in 2003 and 2004, in rice genotype seeds in the of São Paulo (SP) state. PSA medium is more efficient in detecting M. albescens when compared to the filter paper method (GUTIÉRREZ et al. 2009GUTIÉRREZ S. A. et al. Estudio preliminar sobre métodos de detección de Microdochium oryzae em semillas de arroz. Tropical Plant Pathology, v.34, p.042-044, 2009. Available from <Available from http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S198256762009000100007&lng=en&nrm=iso >. Accessed: Feb. 06, 2020. doi: 10.1590/S1982-56762009000100007.
http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=s...
). Analyzing genotypes, a higher incidence was observed in SCS116 Satoru (72.3% in 2015/16 crop) and lower in SCS122 Miura (43.1% in 2016/17 crop). These values are considered high for a possible obtaining of healthy seed for pathogen management, since there is no information on resistance reaction of cultivars for M. albescens in the states of SC and RS (SOSBAI, 2018SOSBAI. Arroz irrigado: recomendações técnicas da pesquisa para o Sul do Brasil. In: XXXII Reunião Técnica da Cultura do Arroz Irrigado, 2018, Farroupilha, RS. Cachoeirinha: Sociedade Sul-Brasileira de Arroz Irrigado, 2018, 205p. Available from: <Available from: http://www.sosbai.com.br/docs/Boletim_RT_2016.pdf >. Accessed: Jan. 22, 2020.
http://www.sosbai.com.br/docs/Boletim_RT...
).

The fungus A. padwickii, included in the group of grain spotters, obtained average incidence in the three harvests of 7.7% and prevalence of 90.6%. In Egypt, India, Korea, Nepal and Thailand, the fungus was detected in 282 lots of 388 analyzed (MATHUR et al., 1972MATHUR, S. B. et al. Seed-borne infection of Trichoconis padwickii in rice, distribution, and damage to seeds and seedlings. International Seed Testing Association, v.37, p.803-810, 1972.). In Brazil, in SP in 2003 and 2004, the average incidence of A. padwickii was 8.2% and 1.6%; respectively, in cultivation of genotypes in flood irrigated system (MALAVOLTA, 2007MALAVOLTA, V. M. A. et al. Incidência de fungos e quantificação de danos em sementes de genótipos de arroz. Summa Phytopathologica, v.33, p.280-286, 2007.

https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S01...
). In RS, FRANCO et al. (2001FRANCO, D. F. et al. Fungos associados a sementes de arroz irrigado no Rio Grande do Sul. Revista Brasileira de Agrociência, v.7, p.235-236, 2001. Available from: <Available from: http://www.ufpel.tche.br/faem/agrociencia/v7n3/artigo16.pdf >. Accessed: Jan. 30, 2020.
http://www.ufpel.tche.br/faem/agrocienci...
), detected values from 0.4% to 20.6%, but do not describe the Alternaria species.

The fungus B. oryzae presented higher average incidence in cultivar SCS121 CL and SCSBRS Tio Taka (7.3%, 2015/16 crop), and lower average value in cultivar Primoriso CL (0.9%, 2017/18 crop). For this fungus, we highlighted a prevalence of 100% detected in the 2016/17 crop in the cultivar SCS122 Miura. In SP was detected an average incidence of 13.6%, higher than that found in this study (MALAVOLTA, 2007MALAVOLTA, V. M. A. et al. Incidência de fungos e quantificação de danos em sementes de genótipos de arroz. Summa Phytopathologica, v.33, p.280-286, 2007.

https://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S01...
).

The fungus Curvularia sp. was detected with incidence and prevalence values similar to B. oryzae. It was not possible to identify the species of Curvularia since no morphological and molecular characterization was performed. The species C. eragrostidis (P. Henn) and C. lunata (Wakker) Boedijn, are detected in rice seeds (LIMA & FURTADO, 2007LIMA, A. B.; FURTADO, M. Curvularia species (anamorphic fungi: Hyphomycetes) from Santiago island, Cape Vert. Portugaliae Acta Biologica, v.22, p.145-156, 2007. Available from: <Available from: https://www.cabdirect.org/cabdirect/abstract/20083133955 >. Accessed: Feb. 23, 2020.
https://www.cabdirect.org/cabdirect/abst...
). Other fungi were detected with lower average incidence, such as: S. oryzae (2.7%), Nigrospora oryzae (0.9%), Penicillium spp. (0.7%), Aspergillus flavus (0.9%), Alternaria sp. (0.8%), C. janseana (0.9%) and Fusarium sp. (0.1%) (Table 1). These are also reported in seeds in RS (FRANCO et al., 2001FRANCO, D. F. et al. Fungos associados a sementes de arroz irrigado no Rio Grande do Sul. Revista Brasileira de Agrociência, v.7, p.235-236, 2001.

https://periodicos.ufpel.edu.br/ojs2/ind...
). The fungus P. oryzae was not detected by the tested. In RS P. oryzae was detected with low incidence (0.04%) in 350 seed samples (FRANCO et al., 2001), but later was not detected in 162 samples analyzed (FARIAS et al., 2007).

This was the first survey of fungi associated with irrigated rice seeds in the pre-germinated cultivation system carried out in Santa Catarina State, serving as a basis for future research related to the epidemiological importance of infected seeds.
