Summary
To explore the physical and chemical properties and their effects on seed germination of hot pepper ( Capsicum annuum L. ) seed coating agent (XFY -2), the pH value, viscosity, forming-film property, forming-film time, coating uniformity rate and coating off rate of seed-coating agent were tested. The 2 hot pepper seeds were coated with XFY -2 and indoor germination experiments were carried. Meanwhile its effects were compared with those of an imported seed-coating agent (SLS). The results showed that the pH value of XFY -2 was 4.55, the viscosity was 23.0 mPa . s -1, forming-film property was good, forming-film time was 5.5 min, coating uniformity rate was 97.5%, coating off rate was less than 5%. The result of germination experiment indicated that the physical and chemical properties of this seed-coating agent were good. It could not only promote seed germination, enhance adult seedling rate, but also effectively improve seedling germination and development. The general effects of this hot pepper seed-coating agent were better than those of the imported agent SLS.
