Abstract

Because of the medicinal importance of Physalis angulata, it is important to study the germinative behavior of these seeds. Thus, this study had the objective of evaluating the different effects substrates and luminosity have on the seed germination of this species. The success and rate of germination were evaluated. The random factorial dwing, with 22 with four entries and four replications of 25 seeds included humus with 30% luminosity, humus + sand (1:1) with 30% luminosity, humus with 50% luminosity, humus + sand (1:1) with 50% luminosity. The germination success rate varied from 78% to 64% irrespective of substrate. However, 50% luminosity stimulated germination, while 30% luminosity slowed germination.
