The objective of this study was to evaluate the substrate and water availability on germinative pontential of Uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis) seeds. The substrates evaluated were the following: Sand (S), Latosol + sand (L + S) (1:1), Latosol + sand + semi-decomposed chicken litter (L + S1+ CL ) (1:1:0.5), Latosol + sand + semi-decomposed chicken litter (L + S2 + CL) (1:2:0.5), Latosol + Bioplant® + (L + B) (1:1) joined to the following water levels: 25, 50, 75 and 100% the ability to retain water. The highest percentage of emergence and the best seedling growth were observed in substrates Latosol + sand + chicken litter (1:2:0.5) and water retention capacity of 50%.
