Abstract
Providing high-quality seeds to farmers is an essential factor in improving crop production. To aim to generate new knowledge that contributes to the agronomic, scientific and technological development of the cultivation of sweet pepper Capsicum chinense in Venezuela, through the analysis of physiological parameters of the seeds and their relationship with health and climatic conditions, this research was conducted in production units of 5 municipalities of the Yaracuy state. Trials were conducted at the UCLA Agronomy graduate school facilities. Different physiological parameters were measured in the seed and correlated with health and environmental parameters. Sanitary analyses were carried out to detect the presence of fungi associated internally with the seed. The results suggest that the Llaneron cultivar presented physiological values similar to the patterns established for most species in seed certification programs, despite its artisanal origin. Nirgua locality showed ideal conditions for growing chili peppers for seed production. A positive correlation was observed between Curvularia and PG7, suggesting the beneficial effect of this fungus on the seed of some of evaluated cultivars. The principal component analysis explained 64.3% of the total variability observed, showing the physiological variables PG7 and PE relevance to explain the physiological potential of seeds from the Nirgua and Bruzual municipalities and appreciate the close relationship between altitude and PG7 variables with the presence and apparent beneficial effect of the Curvularia sp fungus.
