Abstract

The objective of this work was to describe the response of maize to different thicknesses of seed coat. The trial was carried out in the exteriors of the soil laboratory of the Universidad Técnica de Babahoyo, located in Babahoyo, Ecuador. The experiment was about different thicknesses of maize seed coat and its influence on the germinative process and development of the first stages of the seedlings. When less depth was used in the cover, there was a higher percentage of germination and a better development of the maize seedlings was achieved, except for the height of the plant where the opposite occurred.
