PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND CONSERVATION OF SEEDS OF Eugenia candolleana (MYRTACEAE)

Resumo

The objective of this work was to study the physiological behavior of Eugenia candolleana seeds. The work was conducted at the “Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná - Campus Dois Vizinhos State of Paranáâ€. Reducing the moisture content of the seeds reduced their viability but it should not be reduced by more than 20% of its initial content. E. candolleana seeds did not present dormancy. The use of sulfuric acid in both photoperiod conditions is not recommended.
