Abstract

The demand for high quality seeds to obtain rootstocks of citrus is growing, as these generate vigorous plants that will perform well in the field. Furthermore, Normative Instruction 48, of September 24, 2013, requires producers to meet various pre-set parameters. It requires a minimum of 50% germination for the marketing of seed of citrus. Among the factors that determine the quality of the seed is the harvest at the correct time, so the knowledge of the process of seed maturation is critical. In the literature no studies that evaluate and correlate physico-chemical characteristics of fruits with seed quality, so there is not a determining optimum for seed extraction point are found. With this objective job of monitoring the physical and chemical changes in order to define the ideal harvest the fruits of Swingle Swingle (Citrus paradisi Macfad. Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf x.) And Rangpur lime (Citrus limonia Osbeck) to obtain seed quality saline to obtain rootstocks.
