Abstract

The objective of the study was to compare the efficiency of different physiological quality evaluation methods in bell pepper (Capsicum annumm L.) seeds. Five seed lots were submitted to the following tests: standard germination, electrical conductivity, accelerated aging (with and without a saturated NaCl solution) and controlled deterioration. From the results obtained, it was concluded that electrical conductivity, accelerated aging (with a saturated NaCl solution) and controlled deterioration tests (seeds with 24% water) showed to be more efficient in detecting differences among physiological quality levels of the samples evaluated.
