O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência de métodos que permitam separar as sementes em níveis de vigor, sendo utilizados para isso, quatro lotes de sementes de Amburana cearensis (Allemão) A.C. Smith (cumaru). As variáveis analisadas foram: te...
A paineira-branca, Chorisia glaziovii (Kuntze) é uma espécie nativa do Nordeste brasileiro, pertencente à família Malvaceae, é bastante utilizada na medicina popular, como ornamental e na recomposição de áreas degradadas e na indústria de estofados. Na análise do vigor de sementes, o teste de envelhecimento acelerado é uma das opções disponíveis, mas não há informações suficientes sobre a sua eficiência para se...
A espécie Cassia fistula L. (Fabaceae – Caesalpinioidea) propaga-se por sementes, e para promover a produção das mudas faz-se necessário superar a dormência natural das sementes que é causada pela impermeabilidade do tegumento à água. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar diferentes tratamentos pré-germinativos para superar a dormência de sementes de C. fistula. As sementes foram submetidas aos seguintes tratamentos: tes...
Dalbergia nigra (Vell.) Fr. All., known popularly as jacarandá-da-bahia, it is a plentiful species known for the exploration of its wood. The experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Seed Analysis (CCA/UFPB), in Areia, Paraíba State, with the objective of determining appropriate methodology for testing germination and vigor of D. nigra seeds. The experiment was carried out in an entirely randomized design ...
Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub. is a species belonging to the family Fabaceae, and is known popularly as golden shower tree. Its wood has multiple uses in reforestation programs and as an ornamental tree, and is also considered an endangered species, requiring studies that assist in its preservation. The present work was conducted with the objective of determine the ideal substrate type and temperature to pe...
The accelerated aging test is a possible option for evaluation of seeds vigor, however there is not enough information on your efficiency for forest seeds, as of Dalbergia nigra (Vell.) Fr. All. This study was conducted to investigate procedures to assess seed vigor by the accelerated aging test in seed forest, of Dalbergia nigra. For so much, an experiment was realized at Laboratory of Analysis of Seeds, in Un...
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of thermotherapy in the control of fungi associated with seeds of cumaru (Amburana cearensis A.C. Smith) from two localities, after thermal and chemical treatment. The health assessment was conducted by the method of incubation on paper filter (Blotter Test) and physiological quality seeds was determined by germination tests and electrical conductivit...
