This study aimed to determine the effect of 10 contact times of a granular triple superphosphate chemical fertilizer with Brachiaria brizantha, cv. Marandu seeds on seed physiological quality (germination and vigor). Contact times were: 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with four replicates, under both laboratory and nursery conditions. In all variables studied, a significant effect of the treatments employed was observed: as contact time with the […]
