J. L. Gentry. <span name="style_italic">Jaltomata procumbens </span>(Cav.) J. L. Gentry. The test was conducted during July-August 2006. The treatments used were: dose of 0; 50; 100; 150; 200 and 250 mg/l of gibberellic acid, in combination with 12 or 24 h of soaking, analyzed as a completely randomized design in bifactorial arrangement (time of soaking and gibberellic acid concentration). the variables measured were percentage, speed and period of germination. According to the results, treatments of 250 mg/l of gibberellic acid induced 87% of germination, with 1,7 plants germinated per day over a period of 25.5 days, higher than any other treatment. The time of soaking influences seed germination less than the application of gibberellic acid.(Cav.) J. L. Gentry. The test was conducted during July-August 2006.
