• Abstract:

  In Brazilian Quilombo Villages,

  many species of edible plants have been

  cultivated on small acreages where womenworking

  forces have been applying rudimentary,

  cooperative and successful agro-ecological

  methods since long ago. There, we collected

  seed samples of landrace populations of

  rice (Oryza sativa L.) and common beans

  (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to investigate the weight

  of one hundred seeds, moisture contents,

  seed formation, storage insects, and seedling

  emergence using washed river sand. The weight

  (SW100) of the rice hulls ranged from 2.45 to

  3.26 gm and common bean grain ranged from

  12.76 to 35.32 gm, and the moisture contents

  were about 10%. The mean percentage of

  emergence of the rice populations was below

  60% and the common bean had values from

  0 to 93%. We found the usual, negative and

  significant correlations of the percentage of

  normal seedlings with the non-germinated

  seeds.
