Characterization and scarification of Neltuma spp. Seeds from soil and trees

Main Article Content
Abstract
The carob tree (Neltuma/Prosopis spp.), a native species from Piura region (northeast Peru), is of great importance in the socioeconomic and ecological activity of the area. This tree is an important food source for humans and animals. There is little information about its sexual propagation. Therefore, in this study, the carob fruit and seed are characterized and chemical and biological scarification in the germination of carob collected from the soil and tree are evaluated. The evaluated treatments were: T0 (48 h imbibition), T1 (5 % tinner for 1 h), T2 (15 % tinner for 1 h), T3 (25 % tinner for 1 hour), T4 (35 % tinner for 1 hour), T5 (25 % biol for 20 min), T6 (50 % biol for 20 min), T7 (75 % biol for 20 min) and the germination variables: germination percentage, germination speed and germination index and first day of germination. The characterization of the fruit coincides with that reported in other studies on the identification of Neltuma piurensis. In soil-derived seeds, treatments T3 and T7 improved GP (62.5 % and 56.5 %), GS (0.87 and 0.75 germinated seeds per day), and GI (5.36 and 4.79). However, the FDG occurred one day after sowing compared to T0.
