Resumo
The anileira (Indigofera suffruticosa) is a small tropical
shrub that produces excellent quality indigo. It presents, among
other properties, antispamodic, sedative, antipyretic, diuretic,
laxative, insect repellency, and odontologic activity. Preliminary
essays showed less than 1% germination rate, which was attributed
to tegument impermeability since soaking did not occur. Anileira
seeds were collected at the Alternative Medical Hospital, in
Goiania, Brazil, in October 2000, shadow dried and subject to the
following treatments: boiling water for 30, 60, 90 and 120 seconds,
and sulfuric acid p.a. for 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes. Acid treated
seeds were then washed in running water for 10 minutes. Samples
were drawn from each treatment (four 50-seeds replications) wich
was subject to the standard germination test. Counting was
performed twice a week for 40 days. Four replications were used
in a completely randomized design. Statistical analysis showed
treatment effects in distinct groups. The treatments with boiling
water did not show significant differences, together forming the
intermediate group. The sulfuric acid treatments did not show
differences also, but were largely superior to those with boiling
water. The control showed the lowest germination rate.
