VIABILIDAD Y GERMINACIÓN DE SEMILLA DE Cordia elaeagnoides A. DC.

Abstract

A loss in seed viability has been identified in important forest species, which is why it is necessary to develop strategies that address the problem, as well as to recognize morphologically superior individuals to favor the production and quality of germplasm. The present work evaluated the viability and germination of Cordia elaeagnoides in the municipalities of Tumbiscatío and La Huacana in the state of Michoacán, México, generating information that supports their use. Eight seed trees were selected according to the protocols of the International Seed Testing Association Solís-Sandoval, S.; M. Gómez-Romero, y C. Velázquez-Becerra.
