EFFECT OF SEED DRYING ON THE QUALITY OF GERMINATION OF CHILLI (CAPSICUM ANNUM L.)
Keywords:
seed, drying, germinatiory, red pepperAbstract
Red peppr is a type of chili that is needed by the community, especially for cooking ingredients and the food sources in Indonesia. There is a need to improve the quantity and quality of domestic red pepper production. In this case, seeds processing be one of factors that can affect the quality of red pepper production, one of them is drying. Drying is a method to reduce the seed moisture content which aims to decrease the respiration rate and the metabolic rate of the seed, so that the seed can be maintained for a longer period of time. The obyectives of experiment were the effect of drying on the germination of Chilli red pepper (Capsicum annum L.). The experiment was conducted at -field laboratory Faculty of Agriculture. The experimental design used was faclorial experiment 2 x 2 aruanged in Complelely Randomized Design (CRD) with replications four times. The first factor-was, drying (D) narnely: room drying (dl) and sun drying (d2). The second factor was drying period (P) namely: I days (pl) and 7 days (p2). The result showed lhat the drying and drying period was afected significanls on the germination.
