Abstract

The Dolichos lablab is a perennial legume potentially, but grew as an annual or biannual in Brazil, and it has qualities which favor its use in animal feed, as the high protein content and high forage production. However, to achieve good results, it is essential that the seeds used are of good quality. Several tests are used to determine the physiological seed quality, among them stand out the tetrazolium test, because it is fast and efficient. Thus, this review aimed to address some aspects of the use of vigor tests in the evaluation of physiology quality of Dolichos lablab seeds.
