Methods to overcome of the dormancy in murici (Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich) seedsMétodos para superação da dormência de sementes de murici (Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich)

Abstract

The great agricultural development in the Brazilian savannah brought with it the reduction of its natural vegetation, which has been quickly lost, especially due to extractive exploitation by man. Murici (Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich) is a fruit bearing plant of great medicinal importance in the savannah; however, its propagation is hindered by the fact that the seeds have low germination and seedling emergence in the field is slow. This study evaluated the effect of different dormancy breakage methods in murici seeds. Therefore, were evaluated effect of different temperatures; soaking in gibberellic acid and water; chemical and mechanical scarification and two types of substrate (distilled water and KNO3). Treatments were arranged in a randomized block design. Records made daily on the number of germinated seeds were used to determine the germination percentage and germination speed index. Among the methods evaluated, giberellic acid at 2,309.46 ?M gave the greatest seed germination percentage, especially when the germination paper was moistened with KNO3. O grande desenvolvimento agrícola na região do Cerrado foi acompanhado pela redução da vegetação atual e essa rica formação vegetal vem sofrendo uma rápida depredação, principalmente devido à exploração extrativista por parte do homem. O murici (Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich) destaca-se por ser uma planta de grande importância medicinal e frutífera do cerrado, entretanto, sua propagação é dificultada pelo fato de suas sementes terem baixa taxa de germinação e a emergência das plântulas em campo serem lentas. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito de diferentes métodos de superação de dormência em sementes de murici. Para tanto, foram avaliados o efeito de diferentes temperaturas; imersão em ácido giberélico; imersão em água e escarificação química e mecânica do endocarpo e dois tipos de substrato umedecidos (água destilada e KNO3), dispostos em delineamento de blocos ao acaso. Foram realizadas contagens diárias para determinar a porcentagem de germinação e índice de velocidade de germinação. Entre os diversos métodos avaliados, o ácido giberélico a 2.309,46?M proporcionou maior porcentagem de germinação das sementes, sobretudo quando o papel de germinação foi umedecido com KNO3.
