Effect of fruit ripeness and the duration of postharvest ripening on seed quality in Jalapeno chilli.

ABSTRACT :

 

Fruits of the cultivar Jarocho were harvested 40-45 days (green), 55-60 days (green-red) or 80-85 days (red) after flowering and the seeds were extracted in each case 1, 10 or 20 days after harvest. The green-red and red fruits gave the highest percentage of good quality seeds (93-96%) on the 3 extraction dates. The best germination was obtained in seeds from green-red fruits extracted 10 and 20 days after harvest (94 and 92%, respectively). Seeds from red fruits, extracted 1 day after the harvest, gave the best field emergence, with no statistical difference between seeds extracted at 10 and 20 days after harvest.
