• Resumen

  • Two studies were performed in order to evaluate the effect of N (0, and 200 kg/ha/year) and P (0, 150 and 300 kg/ha/year) fertilization at initial stage, on quality of Clitoria ternatea seeds. In both studies a completely randomized design were used, with 5 and 10 replication respectively. Seeds were collected in 116 days old shrubs, located at Ana Maria Campos farm, a very dry forest area, and weren’t stored. 100 seeds weight were recorded W100. Germination percentage was evaluated GP, in seeds scarificated with sulfuric acid 98 % during 5 min. Daily counts were made during 15 days. N improved (P
