| Summary: | The present study was to evaluate two pre- germination treatments in the seeds of Mimosa scabrella (Bracatinga), to overcome dormancy. The experiment was conducted in laboratory, without control of incidence of light or temperature, leaving them as much as possible to natural conditions. The treatments consisted of immersion in water at 80 ° C for 24 hours and length and without seed treatment. Sowing was done after this period in trays upon the land of virgin forest as substrate. The characteristics evaluated were to emergence index and emergence speed. It was concluded therefore that the seed soaking in water at 80 ° C followed by immersion for 24 hours vigor’s seedlings exhibiting more and faster germination. While untreated seeds also showed germination rates, but smaller and with low speed |
