Mamãozinho-de-veado (Jacaratia corumbensis O. Kuntze, Caricaceae) is used for food animal. The objective of this study was to determine a seed storage method for Jacaratia corumbensis to conserve seed viability and vigour. Seeds of Jacaratia corumbensis were put in paper (Kraft) and plastic bags (0.15 mm), and stored in three environmental conditions of temperature environment (22ºC and 65% relative humidity). The germination percentage, moisture content and vigour of seeds were evaluated at the beginning of the experiment and after the storage periods. All treatments maintained seed vigour for 180 days of storage. The best storage conditions to maintain seed viability for a 180-day period were: 1) paper bags (87% of germination) and 2) plastic bags (88% germination) in temperature environment.
