This study evaluated the effects of treating Mimosa verrucosa Benth. seeds with a seaweed-based product containing laminarin on seed health and physiological quality. The experiment was conducted under laboratory and greenhouse conditions using Vacciplant® at concentrations of 1.7, 3.3, 5.0, and 6.7 mL·L⁻¹, along with a control (sterilized distilled water) and the Captan fungicide. The incidence of fungi, germination, emergence, seedling growth, and dry mass were analyzed. Fungal incidence was determined through detection and identification of the pathogens. Physiological quality was assessed through germination and emergence percentages, first count, and germination and emergence speed indices. The treatment reduced Penicillium sp., Fusarium sp., Cladosporium sp., and Aspergillus sp. incidence. No significant differences were observed for germination percentage or speed; however, the 3.3 mL·L⁻¹ concentration increased root dry mass. The 6.7 mL·L⁻¹ dose promoted greater emergence and faster first count, while 3.3 and 5.0 mL·L⁻¹ favored root length and dry mass accumulation. The seaweed-based product enhanced early seedling growth, dry mass accumulation, and emergence rate, standing out as a promising alternative for the treatment of Mimosa verrucosa Benth. seeds.
