ABSTRACT = {The chemical and physical properties of the substrate
produce positive or negative effects on the germination of seeds, and
different pre-germination treatments are applied to obtain better results.
However, the use of soil as a substrate where the species grows is
usually not evaluated or used as a treatment. The objective of the present
study was to evaluate the effect of the native substrate [two types
of substrate where the woody species grow (clay and sand)] on the
germination of <i>Acacia farnesiana, Larrea tridentata</i> and <i>Prosopis laevigata</i>.
In addition, two groups were compared in seeds (grouped and not
grouped) of the protected area "Parque Estatal Cañón de Fernández".
The results showed that the seed grouping reduced germination in the
evaluated species, while the germination rate was only affected in <i>Prosopis
laevigata</i> in the evaluated substrates.},
