Influence of IHPLUS bioproduct on germination of seeds of Pinus caribaea Morelet var. cCaribaea Barret and Golfari
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the IHPLUS Bioproduct on the germination of pine seeds from different storage years. Three repetitions of 100 seeds were subjected to different concentrations (5 and 10 mL/L) and a control with running water. A completely randomized design with factorial arrangement (3 years of storage x 3 solutions) was used. The results of the tetrazolium viability test indicated that the stored one-year seeds showed greater viability than the rest, as well as the greater number of healthy seeds; which means that the storage time negatively influences the germination percentage. The bioproduct solutions were able to promote germination (T0) regardless of storage time. On the day of vigor there was no significant effect for the solution and years of storage, indicating that the solutions were able to homogenize germination.
