Résumé:
Biometrics fruit and seeds provides information for the maintenance and
operation of the species, variability between individuals in a given area and allows
comparisons of the same species occurring in different geographic locations. Thus aimed to
characterize biometrically fruits of P. pyramidalis (Tul.) LP Queiroz during physiological
maturation process in riparian areas of Caatinga. The field research was conducted in the
Umburanas Creek, New Farm, rural municipality of Sumé - PB. The laboratory phase was
conducted in Ecology and Botany Laboratory (CDSA / UFCG). The crops began at 15 days
after anthesis (DAA) and extended to 150 DAA, being evaluated the following parameters:
weight, length and diameter of the fruit. According to the data obtained it was found that the
physiological maturity of the seeds took place 150 days after anthesis, since after this point
were the maximum values of emergence and vigor.
