CONDICIONAMENTO OSMÓTICO DE SEMENTES

Abstract

The osmotic conditioning is a technique that uses inert chemically substances with the aim to begin the essential biochemical processes to embryo growth without there is seedling protrusion. This revision refer the several factors that interfere in the osmotic conditioning technique, as well as the use of chemistries, temperature, conditioning period, drying, storage and seeds revigoration. Other aspects as reduced time to obtain seedling, dormance overcome and seed revigoration.
