Abstract

In order to analyze the influence of storage time on the seeds physiological quality of P. caribaea, chemical (electrical conductivity), biochemical (tetrazolium and indigo carmine) and germination tests were carried out with seeds from the Malas Aguas clonal orchard collected since the year 2014 to 2017. The statistical analysis did not verify the existence of significant differences of quality between the years although the lot of 2016 had the best behavior. It was found that the species lose about 50% of its germination capacity after two years of storage indicating that they should be used once benefited.
