Abstract

This work was carried out to study the germination of Panicum maximum Jacq. seeds, Colonião, Tobiatã, Centenário, Centauro and Tanzânia varieties, on substrata moistened with three different volumes of 0.2% potassium nitrate solution: 12, 16 and 20ml. After sowing, the gerbox covers were tied with tape and no water was added. Germination counts were done each 7 days. The germination test results pointed out that there were differences among them, depending on the amount of solution applied. The germination percentage with 12 ml of solution applied to the substrata was greater than for the others.
