Hydropriming of rice seeds is a necessary process for good germination to break the seminal dormancy characteristic of these seeds. The objective of this research was to determine statistical parameters of hydropriming seeds germinated by day, in the rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) INCA LP-5 and IACuba-41, which are part of the Cuban breeding program. The experiment was developed in trays whose substrate was a Vertisol soil from a rice-growing area of the Río Cauto municipality, Granma province, Cuba. Fifty seeds of both cultivars were soaked in irrigation water for 72 hours and 48 hours of rest in the shade and outdoors, then placed in boxes and evaluated for 14 days the amount of seeds germinated per day. Statistics of central tendency, dispersion and shape were evaluated, including the confidence intervals of the arithmetic mean, which did not yield statistical significance. The highest germination occurred from the third quartile (75 %) or the fifth day, whose dynamics do not fit a normal distribution because the Shapiro-Wilk test was significant. However, a trend towards earlier germination by one day was observed for the INCA LP-5 cultivar, which also showed lower absolute and relative variability compared to the IACuba-41 cultivar or a more concentrated germination.
