The maize ideal range for development is between 20 and 30°C approximately. Thus, the germination test was performed at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30°C, in order to check the maize seed sensitivity at low temperatures. It was verified that the maize germinated only in the usual range. The low germination rate, even in the ideal range, happened due to inadequate storage of the product.
