Abstract

The objective of this work was to test the effect of essential oils in pathogens control and physiology quality of Bauhinia variegata seeds.  We used essential oils from Carapa guianensis Aubl., Cinnamomum zeylanicum Breyn. and Ocimum basilicum L. in the concentrations 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 µL and fungicide Captan (240 g 100-1 kg-1 seeds). We used sterile distilled water as control. The experimental design was completely randomized with four replications of 50 seeds. Satisfactory effect was observed in physiological quality and health of B. variegate seeds treated with C. zealanicum and O. basilicum essential oils.
