Abstract
Abstract Germinated seeds of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and pepper ( Capsicum annum L.) were placed in bags of different polyethylene films and stored in various environmental conditions for up to 63 days. Performance of the stored seeds was evaluated both in the greenhouse and field. Tomato seed placed in 100 μm polyethylene film bags packaged either in vacuum or nitrogen and stored at 7°C produced excellent plant stand up to 63 days. Radicle elongation in nitrogen environment was minimal. The same environments, in addition to hand-sealing in Ziploc bags and storing at 7°, kept the germinated pepper seed in a viable condition. Radicle elongation was the least in vacuum and nitrogen environments.
