An experiment was conducted to compare the period of exposure of pre-dried seeds from the EMBRAPA 7 Taim cultivar of flooded rice to different oxygen concentrations to break dormancy. Seeds were sown in wet paper towel and put into a hermetical closed recipient where 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80% oxygen concentrations for 48, 96 and 336 h were set.
