The germination tests were carried out in the presence of extracts of the fruit of pomegranate (Punica granatum), noni (Morinda citrifolia) and leaves of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), with commercial seeds of lettuce (Lactuca sativa), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and pepper (Capsicum baccatum). The extracts were extracted and applied inside the Petri plates with filter paper base with the seeds already distributed in the plates. The seeds of all the germinated crops in the presence of the extract of the Noni fruit caused an accelerated germination and a greater development compared to the control. As the extracts of pomegranate and eucalyptus retracted the germination and delayed its development compared to Noni extract, all followed by a water check.
