Abstract

The lowest seed moisture values increase the longevity seed. Although it can seed damaged it is suffer a high desiccation. In order to know the minimum value where the seed doesn’t lost the vigor those of them were placed in desiccators with silica gel. The vigor permitted to know the minimum of humidity in seed without lost viability as critical valor take on the vigor trough the emergency velocity to seeds of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.ex Lam) Duch. ex Poir) and corn (Zea mays L.).
