Abstract
The corn (Zea mays L.) crop is considered one of the oldest and most important in the world. Among the substrates used to test the germination of corn crops, paper rolls and sand are officially recommended for use and analysis. However, the use of vermiculite can be viable and useful in some scenarios especially for treated seeds. The treatments consisted of 50 seeds in rollers at a temperature of 25°C and three substrates (germitest; germitest + sand; germitest + vermiculite). The total number of seeds per treatment was 150 distributed in three subsamples of 50 seeds. This work aims to evaluate the germination potential of corn seeds in different cultivation media, and thus evaluate the rate and speed of germination in sand, vermiculite, and germ test paper.
