In the Comunera and Guanenta provinces (Santander), the coffee growing areas (Coffea arabica L.) has been increasing. The coffee beans have a slow and asynchronous germination, making it difficult to obtain ideal seedlings. The aim of this work is to find an alternative to increase a production more uniform and synchronous seedlings in shorter time. Evaluating different pre-germination treatments applied on coffee beans var. Castillo proposed, under an experimental design of randomized complete blocks. Treatments consisted of sowing as follows: dry seeds without scarification (T1), imbibed water for 48 hours (T2), in milk (T3) and urea diluted in water (5 gr/l) (T4), and scarified dry seeds (T5), imbibed water for 48 hours (T6), in milk (T7) and urea diluted in water (5 gr/l) (T8). The sowing field per 1 square meter by 40 centimeters deep was used, and the moment of sampling was based on the extended BBCH scale, applied for coffee. The variables analyzed were: germination percentage, precocity of emergency, precocity of cotyledon expansion, hypocotyl length, and taproot length and seedling dry weight. It was found that mechanical scarification of coffee bean var. Castillo accelerated seed germination and applying solutions to the seed prior to germination showed interesting results, as in the case of T8 treatment, in terms of germination emergence and after cotyledon expansion with a faster and excellent growth of the taproot.
