Effect of pH levels on the germination (%) of Capsicum spp. genotype seeds treated with (A) and without (B) addition of gibberellic acid (GA3; 0.75 mg L-1) under in vitro conditions. Identical letters within the same pH level do not differ statistically according to the Scott-Knott test (p ≤ 0.05).
Germination curves of Capsicum spp. seeds at different pH levels with (A) and without (B) the addition of gibberellic acid (0.75 mg L-1) under in vitro conditions.
(A) Mean germination time (days) (MGT) of six Capsicum genotypes seeds with and without the addition of gibberellic acid (GA3; 0.75 mg L-1) under in vitro conditions. B) Effect of pH levels on MGT of Capsicum spp. genotype seeds. Asterisks indicate statistical differences between genotypes treated or not with GA3 according to the F test (p ≤ 0.05). Identical letters within the same pH level do not differ statistically according to the Scott-Knott test (p ≤ 0.05).
A) Mean germination rate (days-1) (MGR) of six Capsicum genotypes seeds with and without the addition of gibberellic acid (GA3; 0.75 mg L-1) under in vitro conditions. B) Effect of pH levels on MGT for seeds of Capsicum spp. genotype. Asterisks indicate statistical differences between genotypes treated or not with GA3 according to the F test (p ≤ 0.05). Identical letters within the same pH level do not differ statistically according to the Scott-Knott test (p ≤ 0.05).
A) Germination speed (GSP) of six Capsicum genotypes seeds with and without the addition of gibberellic acid (GA3; 0.75 mg L-1) under in vitro conditions. B) Effect of pH levels on GSP of Capsicum spp. genotype seeds. Asterisks indicate statistical differences between genotypes treated or not with GA3 according to the F test (p ≤ 0.05). Identical letters within the same pH level do not differ statistically according to the Scott-Knott test (p ≤ 0.05).
