Germinative potential of Ocimum basilicum L. seeds in commercial substrate and soil conditioner

In the production process Ocimum basilicum seeds, substrate selection is an important characteristic in qualitative terms, as way to obtain a great culture development, addition reducing costs. The objective of this research was analyze different concentrations commercial associated with soil conditioner, based on tanned bovine manure, germination O. seeds. conducted under greenhouse conditions, completely randomized experimental design, and composed by six treatments [commercial (100%) (T1); (80%) + manure (20%) (T2); (60%) (40%) (T3); (T4); (T5); (T6)], replicates, each replicate characterized 10 cells from tray. seeds were placed into plastic polyethylene trays, steel countertops. After filling treatment, sowing carried out, after second day planting, evaluation out regarding average number speed index (GSI) time (AGT). best results related also (20%), seed above 78.33%, higher GSI, 1.21, lower AGT, whose below 6.78 days, showing positive effect up 20% Carolina Soil®,
