The work had as objective to evaluate the germination of seeds of sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.), submitted the treatments daily pre-germinative, under controlled conditions. One evaluated the percentage of germination and the index of germination speed (IVG), using the delineation entirely casualizado with four repetitions of 25 seeds, in factorial project 2x5, being the factor scarification mechanics in two levels (with and without scarification) and factor imbibition in five levels: water, Stimulate® the 20 mL L-1, acid giberélico 50 and 750 GA3 mg L-1, all absorbing for 12 hours, and a treatment without imbibition. The scarification mechanics was carried through with sandpaper for wood. The results had shown that the scarification mechanics separately, did not make possible the overcoming of the dormancy in seeds of sugar apple. Significant alterations with the use of the sandpaper had been verified with the embebição of seeds scarification in water and Stimulate®, with increases of 22 and 43 %, respectively. The scarification with sandpaper revealed unnecessary with the imbibitions of the seeds in 750 dosages of 50 and mg L- 1 of acid gibberellic, with percentage of germination varying of 83 and 98%. The Stimulate®, in the used concentration, was inferior to the GA3 use, providing, however, increase of 43 % in relation to the germination of scarification seeds, without imbibitions the biggest indices of germination speed had been verified in the treatments with GA3, observing itself rise of the values with the increase of the dosage of acid gibberellic, and also with the use of the sandpaper.
