Pepper seeds quality under different environments
1995
Petrus Bulan
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.
