-The impermeability of seed coat to water is common mechanism in Fabaceae seeds. Treatments to overcome hardseededness include scarification with sulphuric acid, scarification on abrasive surface and soaking in water among others. The objective of this study was to identify an effective method to overcome dormancy in Dinizia excelsa seeds. A pre-test (untreated seed) and three experiments were carried out: immersion of seeds in acid sulphuric for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60min (experiment 1); scarification on abrasive surface at the positions distal end, near of the mycrophyle and on the lateral tissue and tegument clipping at 1mm of the distal end, near of the mycrophyle and on the lateral tissue (experiment 2); scarification on abrasive surface and immersion in water for 0, 12, 24 and 48h (experiment 3). The experimental design was completely with four replications of 50 seeds for each treatment. The statistical analysis was carried out by ANOVA and regression analysis. Seedlings emergence on untreated seeds started on the 8 th day after sowing and reached 52.5% on the 1,709 th day. In general, the treatments to overcome dormancy increase emergence. Emergence was higher for seeds treated with sulphuric acid for 20 and 30min with emergence of 93.6% and 86.6%, respectively. For seeds scarified on abrasive surface higher emergences were recorded for scarification on distal end, near of the mycrophyle and on the lateral, 82.7%, 74.3% and 75.7%, respectively. Seeds scarified manually showed higher emergence when not immersed in water (75%), or when immersed for 12 and 24h (75%, 73.6% and 65.6%, respectively). Immersion seeds in sulphuric acid for 20 and 30min and scarification on abrasive surface of distal end are effective to overcome dormancy in D. excelsa. e acompanhar seu processo de germinação ao longo do tempo . Foram conduzidos um pré-teste (sementes não escarificadas) e três experimentos: imersão em ácido sulfúrico por 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 e 60min (experimento 1); escarificação em superfície abrasiva na região distal, próximo a micrópila e na lateral da semente e corte de 1mm no tegumento na região distal, próximo a micrópila e na lateral da semente (experimento 2); escarificação em superfície abrasiva e imersão em água por 0, 12, 24 e 48h (experimento 3). O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições de 50 sementes por tratamento. A análise estatística consistiu de ANOVA e análise de regressão. Sementes não escarificadas iniciaram a emergência de plântulas oito dias após a semeadura e atingiu 52,5% aos 1.709 dias. Em geral, os tratamentos para superação da dormência promoveram a emergência das plântulas. A emergência foi maior nas sementes escarificadas com ácido sulfúrico por 20 e 30min com 93,6% 86,6%, respectivamente. Nas sementes submetidas a escarificação abrasiva e corte no tegumento, os melhores tratamentos foram escarificação na região distal, próximo à micrópila e na lateral da semente com 82,7%, 74,3% e 75,7%, respectivamente. Sementes escarificadas em superf...
