Abstract

This study has aimed to test different methods of overcoming dormancy, accelerating and standardizing the initial seedling settling and determining the pre-germination treatment that is more effective for the species Dialium guianense (Aubl.) Sandwitch. The seeds were submitted to the following treatments: Control (T1) – only asepsis of seeds was done by immersion in sodium hypochlorite (2 %) for 3 minutes; immersion in sulfuric acid (98 % p.a.) for 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes (T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively); mechanical chisel plow (T6) – asepsis of seeds by immersion in sodium hypochlorite (2%) for 3 minutes and seed surface abrasion by 80 sandpaper for 15 seconds, always at the edge of the seeds (to avoid damaging the embryo) and then immersed in water for 24 hours. The Dialium guianense seeds have cutaneous dormancy and treatments of chemical chisel plow by means of immersion of the seeds in concentrated sulfuric acid (98%) for 15 and 20 minutes were more effective in overcoming seed dormancy, providing highest values of emergence and Emergence Speed Index (ESI) of seedlings, as well as the highest average of dry matter allocation in the shoot and primary root.
