RESUMOA propagação das palmeiras juçara e açaí é feita através de sementes, porém há grande desuniformidade no processo germinativo. Objetivou-se, então, estudar o efeito da temperatura, escarificação mecânica e do substrato na germinação de sementes de ambas as espécies; para tanto, foram conduzidos dois experimentos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições de 25 sementes; no primeiro foram aplicados 14 tratamentos em esquema fatorial 7 x 2, sendo sete temperaturas (20, 25, 30, 35, 20-30 e 25-35°C e temperatura ambiente) com ou sem escarificação mecânica; o segundo foi constituído por oito tratamentos em esquema fatorial 4 x 2, consistindo de quatro substratos (areia, vermiculita, fibra de coco e solo + esterco, 3:1) com ou sem escarificação mecânica. As maiores médias de porcentagem e velocidade de germinação de sementes da palmeira juçara ocorreram nas temperaturas alternadas de 20-30 e 25-35 ºC e ambiente nos substratos areia, vermiculita e fibra de coco. Para as sementes de açaí as temperaturas de 30, 35, 20-30, 25-35 ºC e ambiente, em todos os substratos testados foram as condições mais favoráveis. A escarificação das sementes de juçara foi favorável para o processo de germinação enquanto as sementes de açaí não necessitam ser escarificadas.

In this way, the objective of this study was to verify the effect of temperature, mechanical scarification and substrate on seed germination of both species. Two experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design, with four replications each consisting of 25 seeds. The first was conducted with 14 treatments in factorial scheme 7 x 2, seven temperatures (20, 25, 30, 35, 20-30 and 25-35 °C and natural condition), with and without mechanical scarification. The second was constituted of eight treatments in factorial scheme 4 x 2, four substrates (sand, vermiculite, coconut fiber and soil + manure), with and without mechanical scarification. Seeds of 'juçara' palm present the highest mean percentage and germination speed index in alternating temperatures of 20-30 and 25-35 ºC and natural condition and in substrates sand, vermiculite and coconut fiber. Temperatures of 30, 35,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] ºC and natural condition in all substrates tested were the most favorable condition for 'açai' seeds. The scarification of the seeds was favorable to the germination process of 'juçara' whereas the seeds of "açaí" does not need to be scarified.
