Abstract
This study aimed to establish protocols for storage, germination and viability seed C. canjerana. For the promotion of fruit dehiscence, they were placed in the tray at room temperature (20°C) and in plastic bags at 25°C. In storage, the seeds were stored in paper envelopes and sealed becker. To test the tetrazolium's test, seeds were submerged by 1, 2 or 3 hours in the tetrazolium salt to 1%. Germination tests in the laboratory and in the greenhouse were conducted at different times of seed storage. The results showed that two hours of immersion of the seeds in the tetrazolium salt to 1% are effective for determining viability. Furthermore, one can understand the effectiveness of storage of fruits in plastic bags at 25°C for up to seven days to promote dehiscence and seed storage in paper envelopes at 25°C for up to 10 days. The germination in petri dishes is effective when the seeds are stored in paper bags for up to one week, at 25°C. In the greenhouse, the germination test can be used when the seeds are stored for up to 20 days in plastic bags at 5°C.
