Petrus Bulan, . and Judith Anak Juni, . (2003) Germination of Capsicum annum L. seeds after accelerated aging and storage. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of short period of accelerated aging and storage on viability of Capsicum Annum seeds. Seeds were placed and aged in desiccators for 0 24 48 72 96 and 120 hours at 40 - 42 celcius degrees and 100 relative humidity. In a subsequent experiment aged seeds were placed in airtight bottles and stored in refrigerator 3 - 5 celcius degreesand ambient room 28 - 30 celcius degrees for 0 1 2 and 3 weeks. Germination of aged seeds decreased sharply at 48 hours and continued to decline up to 120 hours of aging. However at 24 hours aging had the effect of increased the percentage germination as compared to untreated seeds. Seeds aged in various periods gave different percent of germination in different storage environment. Seed stored in refrigerator germinated better 78-98 than seeds stored in ambient room 73-96. Severity in the germination of aged seeds increased with increased in period of aging and duration of storage in these environments.
