Abstract

In the production process Ocimum basilicum seeds, the substrate selection is an important characterist in qualitative terms, as way to obtain a great culture development, in addition to reducing the production costs. The objective of this reserach was to analyze the effect of the substrate based on tanned bovine manure, at diferent concentration, on the germination of O. basilicum seeds. The research was conducted under greenhouse conditions, ans composed by six treatments, related with the comercial substrate Carolina Soil® and also by tanned bovine manure, analyzed alone, but also in misture with diferente concentrations. For each treatment, six replicates were carried out, directed into plastic polyethylene trays, and each replicate was characterized by 10 cells from the tray. After filling the cells with each treatments, sowing was carried out, and after second day of planting, evaluation were carried out regarding the average number of germination seeds, germination speed index (GSI) and the average germination time (AGT). The best results were related to the treatments based on commercial substrate and also commercial substrate (80%) + tanned bovine manure (20%), with average seed germination above 78.33%, and addition to higher GSI, with average above 1.21, and lower AGT, whose average was below 6.78 days, showing the positive effect of the addition of up to 20% tanned bovine manure in the commercial substrate Carolina Soil®, regarding the germination of O. basilicum seeds.
