RESUMO -O objetivo desse estudo foi comparar a eficiência de diferentes testes de vigor na avaliação da qualidade fisiológica em sementes de mogango, relacionando os resultados obtidos em laboratório com o desempenho das plantas no campo. Os lotes foram avaliados pelos testes de germinação, primeira contagem, envelhecimento acelerado tradicional e com uso de solução salina não saturada de NaCl, (ambos a 41ºC/48 e 72h) e comparados com a emergência e o desenvolvimento inicial das plantas no campo. As plantas foram avaliadas aos quinze, vinte cinco e trinta e cinco dias após a semeadura. Foram determinados o comprimento de parte aérea e de raiz, número de folhas e massa seca de planta. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, utilizando-se quatro tratamentos (lotes) com quatro repetições. Conclui-se que o teste de envelhecimento acelerado tradicional por 72h permitiu classificar os lotes em diferentes níveis de vigor, e é o mais adequado para avaliação do potencial fisiológico de sementes de mogango. Diferenças acentuadas quanto de vigor entre lotes de sementes de mogango influenciaram o desempenho inicial da cultura, especialmente o comprimento da parte aérea e a matéria seca da planta.Termos para Indexação: Cucurbita pepo, vigor, estabelecimento de plantas. MOGANGO PHYSIOLOGICAL SEED POTENTIAL AND FIELD PERFORMANCEABSTRACT -The objective of this study was to compare different vigor tests used to evaluate physiological quality in mogango seeds, and the relationship between the results obtained in the laboratory and field performance. The lots were evaluated by the following tests: standard germination, first count of germination, traditional accelerated aging and with non-saturated NaCl solution (both at 41ºC/48 and 72h) and compared with emergence and plant development. The plants were evaluated at fifteen, twenty five and thirty five days after sowing. Plant height, number of leaves and dry weight were estimated. A randomized complete block design was used with four treatments (lots) and four replications. Based on the results it was concluded that traditional 72h accelerated aging provided a better differentiation among mogango seed lots with different physiological quality. Variations in mogango seed lots can affect the initial plant performance, especially plant height and dry weight.
