Abstract

This study was carried out to verify viability of pimenta-de-macaco seeds using tetrazolic test. Seeds were evaluated in laboratory and sowed in seedlings. There was progressive failing in germination and vigour of seeds with increasing store time. After one year stored seeds were no more viable. Seeds evaluated by the vigour test showed potential viability, although in laboratory tests germination was 0.0%. Similar results in sowed seedlings indicates dormancy mechanism.

KEY-WORDS: Xylopia; dormancy; seed; germination.
