A study of physiological maturation, germinability and vigor of seeds of two cultivars of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) — <IAC-13-1» and «IPEACO-SL 7» — was carried out at the Federal University of Vicosa, Vicosa, Minas Gerais.
Flowers were tagged in the upper, middle and lower thirds of the plant at the time of fertilization to keep track of the age of the seeds, Seeds were collected every five days for 75 days and were analyzed for quality.
Physiologicalmaturity of seeds occurred from 65 to 75 days after tagging. At this time seed moisture averaged from 20 to 40%.
Seeds procuced normal seedlings 40 days after tagging and thereafter, and the germination rate was at a maximum between 65 and 75 days in all thirds of the plants.
Seeds presented some vigor 40 days after tagging and the maximum vigor was show between 70 and 75 days.
In the first count only seeds from the lower third of «IPEACO-SL 7» showed maximum vigor at 70 to 75 days. Seeds from all thirds of «IAC-13-1» and the middle third of «IPEACO-SL 7» did not reach maximum vigor in the period studied.
