Abstract: | Germination of tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey.) seeds is slow and although the removal of the endocarp favors the speed of the process, the time is still considered long. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of different pretreatment and stratification temperatures on the germination of tucumã seeds. Two experiments were set up. The first experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme and seedling emergence was evaluated as a function of the pretreatment of diaspores at different temperatures (27, 30, 35, and 40 °C) during different periods (20, 40, and 60 days). The second experiment was also conducted in a completely randomized design and seed germination was evaluated as a function of seed stratification at constant (25, 30, 35, and 40 °C) and alternating temperatures (26-30, 26-35, and 26-40 °C). Germination decreased progressively in all tested periods as the pretreatment temperature increased. Seed stratification at different constant and alternating temperatures showed different results. The pretreatment of diaspores at different temperatures for different periods was not effective in overcoming the dormancy of tucumã seeds. Seed stratification at alternating temperatures, with the highest thermal amplitude (26-40 °C), favored the overcoming of dormancy and the germination of tucumã seeds. © 2021, Associacao Brasileira de Tecnologia de Sementes.
