Abstract: The quality of corn seed is a determining factor that directly affects the success of the entire cultivation and production cycle. The objective was to verify whether the essential oils of lemongrass, clove flower buds, ginger, mint and citronella interfere with the physiological quality of corn seeds. The experiment was DIC with ten treatments, five essential oils in two concentrations plus the control. There was complete inhibition of germination in the treatment with clove essential oil at a concentration of 1.0 µL mL-1, which was significantly different from the other treatments, as the percentage of normal seedlings at the end of the test was zero. The essential oils of mint and citronella at 0.5 µL mL-1 exhibited higher germination rates when compared to the other treatments.
