Saccharin sorghum is cultivated from seeds, requiring adequate production, harvesting and drying techniques to ensure the availability of quality seed and, therefore. The objective was to evaluate the initial quality by studying a more adequate methodology of the accelerated aging test for the evaluation of the physiological potential of sorghum seeds. The research was conducted in the Laboratory of Seed Analysis of the Department of Plant Science, Federal University of Pelotas, in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. A completely randomized experimental design with 4 replicates was used. Four lots of sweet sorghum seeds were used. First we assessed the quality of the seeds by the following tests: water content, germination, first count and emergency field. Following evaluation of initial quality, lots were submitted to the traditional aging test and use saturated saline, in periods of 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours at 41 °C. Exposure of seeds for 24 hours at 41 °C in accelerated aging with saturated NaCl and use for 48h at 41 °C in traditional accelerated aging are suitable to differentiate batches of sweet sorghum seeds. O sorgo sacarino é cultivado a partir de sementes, necessitando técnicas adequadas de produção, colheita e secagem das mesmas para garantir sua disponibilidade e qualidade. Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade inicial estudando uma metodologia mais adequada do teste de envelhecimento acelerado para a avaliação do potencial fisiológico de sementes de sorgo sacarino. A pesquisa foi conduzida no Laboratório Didático de Análise de Sementes do Departamento de Fitotecnia, Universidade Federal de Pelotas, em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado com 4 repetições. Foram utilizados quatro lotes de sementes de sorgo sacarino. Inicialmente, foi avaliada a qualidade inicial das sementes através dos seguintes testes: teor de água, germinação, primeira contagem de germinação e emergência a campo. Após, os lotes foram submetidos ao teste de envelhecimento tradicional e com uso se solução salina saturada (NaCl), nos períodos de 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 e 120h à 41 ºC. A exposição das sementes por 24h a 41 ºC no envelhecimento acelerado com uso de solução saturada de NaCl e por 48h a 41 ºC no envelhecimento acelerado tradicional são adequados para diferenciar lotes de sementes de sorgo sacarino.Accelerated aging in sorghum sacarino seeds Sorghum bicolor (L.)
