Pepper seeds quality under different environments

Petrus Bulan, . (1995) Pepper seeds quality under different environments. [Proceedings Paper]

Abstract

Fresh and matured pepper piper nigrum L.seeds stored in four different environments : ambient room 28-30celcius and 70-80 RH air-conditioned room 22-23 celcius and 45-50 RH refrigerator 4-5 celcius and 42 RH and incubator 40 celcius and 40 RH for 0-14 days were evaluated for effects of changes in temperature and relative humidity of storage environment on the seed quality. Germination percentages 75-84 of seeds sown after stored for three days under the different environments were similar for first three days except for seeds kept in the incubator where the decline in germination percentages was drastic after one day of storage. Viability moisture content and incident of fungus growth were lowest for seed kept in the incubator.
