Periodically, samples were taken in order to determine the moisture content and to perform germination tests. The experimental design was completely randomized, in factorial scheme of 3 × 2 (wrappings × conditions), for each period of storage evaluated (0, 158, 271, 389 and 531 days of storage). Supplementary, a polynomial regression was adjusted in order to describe the physiological quality of the seeds for the different conditions during the experimental period. The results lead to the following considerations: a) storage under variable temperature and air humidity (laboratory workbench) can be used for periods of over five and a half months, with the seeds stored in cloth bag, plastic bag or glass container; b) the physiological quality of the seeds was not hardly altered when stored in cold chamber in cloth bag, plastic bag and glass container for over 18 months.87-94porForest seedsSeed conservationVigorGlass containerAtmospheric humidityForestryPhysiologyPlastic productsSeedContainersPlastic BagsSeedsArtigoWOS:000208714500009Acesso aberto2-s2.0-345474185212-s2.0-34547418521.pdf18206261000810270000-0001-9088-3924
