potassium on the quality and seed production of koronivia grass. The experimental design used in the two experiments was
400 Kg/ha) and four potassium doses (0,100, 200 and 400 Kg/ha) and in the second experiment was used three nitrogen
doses (0, 100 and 200 Kg/ha) and three phosphorus doses (0, 50 and 75 Kg/ha). The seeds harvest was accomplished 24

). The seeds were counting and weighted. Its
results evidenced the effect (P <0,05) of the nitrogen fertilization in the production, in weight and in number, and quality
of seeds, however the fertilization with phosphorus and potassium didn’t show any effects.

Buriti (
L.) is a palm which origin is in Amazon and it occurs naturally alone or in groups. It is found
throughout the State of Amapá, predominantly in reeds called alluvial communities. It is a specie with high potential for
was to analyze the morphological characteristics of fruits and seeds of Buriti. The study site was a lowland located in the
municipality of Mazagão, southwest of the State of Amapá. The collecting fruits occurred from August/2009 to July/2010.
Fruit production during the study period was continuous, occurring the peak production in February and March/2010.
because they are in areas where soil moisture levels are always high even during the drought period. It was sampled 460
(E) was calculated with 95% probability.
Measurements taken included the following ranges of values for the measurements of seeds: weights ranged from 16.4 to
33.2 grams (average 23.7 g ± 3.1 g) with dimensions ranging from 3.2 to 3.9 cm to longitudinal length (average 3.5 ± 0.1
cm) and 2.8 the 3.7 transversal length (average 3.1 ± 0.2 cm). The percentages of weight seed in relation to dry fruit weight
ranged from 37.5 to 58.6% (average 48.9% ± 3.95%). The variation is explained by the fact of dealing with native plants,
whose variability is marked for various features. The fruits have weights ranging from 31.0 to 62.0 grams (average 43.5 g
± 3.9 g), 5.0 to 6.3 cm (average 5.5 ± 0.2 cm) to longitudinal length and 4.4 to 5.1 cm (average 4.7 ± 0.1cm) to transversal
length. It was registered a large range in the relation seed weight/fruit weight that varied from 44.0% to 67.8% (average
54.3% ± 4.6%).
