- Intervention effect After-ripening increased germination of immature organic pepper seed lots from 28% to 76.3%.
- Intervention effect After-ripening increased germination of immature conventional pepper seed lots from 53.8% to 88%.
- Intervention effect After-ripening increased emergence of immature organic seed lots from 44.3% to 70.8%.
- Intervention effect After-ripening increased emergence of immature conventional seed lots from 53.8% to 82.5%.
- Intervention effect After-ripening raised thousand-seed weight of immature organic lots from 6.0g to 6.5g.
- Intervention effect After-ripening raised thousand-seed weight of immature conventional lots from 6.2g to 6.5g.
- Intervention effect After-ripening did not similarly improve quality of mature pepper seeds.
- Recommendation The authors conclude after-ripening can improve immature pepper seed quality.
