Seeds of aubergine (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Emi and Long Negro were produced over three seasons between 1988 and 1990 and stored at ambient (25±5°C) and low (5±2°C) temperature. In the absence of humidity control, seeds stored satisfactorily for 4 years at 25°C, whereas at 5°C a reduction in germination was observed after 1-2 years of storage. When storage time was extended to 7 years, there was a significant drop in germination capacity, although in some seed lots the percentage germination was still over 70%. It is concluded that under Mediterranean conditions and in the absence of humidity control, long term (>1-2 years) storage of aubergine seed should be carried out at ambient (25±5°C) rather than at low (5±2°C) temperature. |
