GONZALEZ-CORTES, Nicolás et al. Germination of amashito Chili (Capsicum annuum L. var. Glabriusculum) in southeastern Mexico. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.spe11, pp.2211-2218. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v0i11.800.

The pepper “amashito” is a non-domesticated and widely consumed in the southeast of Mexico species. To meet the demand, almost all comes from wild collections, which negatively impacts the distribution and abundance. In addition, seeds of this species contain a hard waxy cuticle and the presence of natural inhibitors, which result in a lower germination of 5%. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate as inductor Biozyme® TF in seed germination. The work was done in the Academic Division Multidisciplinary of Ríos during December 2014 and January 2015. The experiment was set up using a completely randomized design, treating seeds with 1.6% (v/v) of Biozyme TF® for 0, 12, 18 and 24 hours in immersion, and a control consisting of only water to hydrate for 24 h. The results indicated that, the time of 12, 18 and 24 h of immersion of seeds in 1.6% Biozyme® TF has a highly significant effect (0.01 α), obtaining 61.5, 83.3, 86.6% germination, respectively. Not compared when hydrated, equally when only were hydrated with water for 24 h, resulting in 40 and 43% germination, respectively. It is concluded that treating seeds with 1.6% of Biozyme TF® for 24 h immersion is achieved up to 86% of seeds germinated at 12 days after planting.
