Effect of physiological conditioning on germination and vigour of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) seeds
Seed lots of low, medium and high vigour of the arabica coffee cultivar Catuai Vermelho 2144 were submitted to imbibition at 25°C in water or polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) at -0.4 MPa for 2, 4 or 6 days. Priming improved germination parameters in seeds of medium vigour (with imbibition in water for 2 or 4 days givng the best results) but had little effect on seeds of low or high vigour.
