The objective of the present research was to identify temperature conditions suitable to red-palmito (Euterpe espiritosantensis Fernandes) seeds conservation, with and without pulp, for a two month period. Mature fruits of red-palmito were harvested from 19 plants belonging to the palm collection of the Instituto Agronômico (IAC) located at Ubatuba, State of São Paulo, Brazil, and transported in impermeable packing to the Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas/ UNESP, Botucatu, State of São Paulo. Half of the fruits were shelled and the seeds were stored, with and without the pulp, in sealed plastic bags (20µm thick) maintained in chambers with temperatures of 5, 10, 15 and 20-30oC. Samples for the quality tests were taken at zero, one and two months after fruit harvesting. Seeds with pulp were immediately shelled before test installation. Taking in account germination and vigor, seeds of red-palmito with and without pulp, respectively, should be stored in temperatures ranging from 5oC and 10o C and between 5oC and 15oC. Seed storage is not recommended, since germination decreases drastically in the long run (20% in average, after one month storage) and seedling vigor diminishes. The presence of fruit pulp during storage was prejudicial to the overall seed quality.
