Resumo

Abstract Sorghum seeds ( Sorghum vulgare , variety Sorghum bicolor L181) were germinated in the dark for 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54, 60 and 66 h respectively. Optimum moisture content for germination was between 35 and 40%. Active germination and growth were assessed in terms of soluble carbohydrate and total starch in the seedling. Germination occurred between 15 and 30°C with an optimum at 22°C.
