Abstract

The aim of this paper was to test ultrasound (US) and microwave (MW), with/or not water immersion (WI) to infer their effect on promoting vigor to seeds of Libidibia ferrea (Mart. Ex Tul.) L.P. Queiroz. L. ferrea seeds were submitted to factorial design 2 x 5, where F1 = WI  and F2 = physical treatments (MW - 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 s or US - 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 min). We analyzed according to Brazilian Rules of Seeds Analyses and statistical program R. The treatments were not effective to improve vigor to L. ferrea seeds.
