The pushing bibliography highlighted the already known factors influencing the development of culture. The experiment was carried out individually and on a larger scale, according to instructions contained in the Data Analysis Rules Seeds (BRAZIL, 2009). The reports lead us to some important correlations regarding temperature, humidity, degree of seed maturity and planting depth. In the end, it is concluded that it is relevant to influence of planting depth on seedling performance and that it is extremely important to knowledge of the mechanism of action of plant hormones and the physiology of the crop to achieve levels satisfactory levels of productivity.Acesso AbertomilhoZea mayssemeaduraprofundidadeCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::AGRONOMIAOutro
