Abstract
The purpose of this scientific work is to establish the optimal interval between the treatments applied with calcium nitrate and a bioactive product based on Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jolis., on the seed production of round pepper, using the cultivar ‘Asteroid 204’. The experiment was carried out at Research and Development Institute for Vegetable and Flower Growing Vidra, Ilfov county, Romania.
Foliar treatments with calcium nitrate combined with the bioactive product Auxi 4C were applied to the round pepper plants, at different time intervals.
The studied time intervals were seven days between treatments, 10 days and, respectively, 14 days between treatments.
The treatments applied at intervals of seven days determined the most important increases in the amount of seed.
Regarding the quality of the seeds, the weight of 1000 seeds, the final germination percentage and the germination per days, the germination speed index of seeds, the vigor of the seedlings 14 days after sowing and the seed vigor index were calculated.
Treatments applied to peppers at an interval of seven days increase the quantity and quality of the seeds.
