Abstract

In chili farming (Capsicum annuum L.) the use of low quality seeds will result in a low percentage of germination, less tolerant of abiotic stress and more sensitive to plant diseases. The research conducted with literature review that is looking for references through secondary data collection that is data obtained from journals, books, documentation, and internet. Treatment of seeds such as priming, coating, pelleting, etc. to enhance germination and protect seeds from pests and diseases. Treatment of chili seeds with matriconditioning plus 0.1% clove oil is effective for increasing vigor and seed saving and reducing the percentage of contamination of Colletotrichum capsici, the cause of anthracnose disease in chili seeds. Biopriming of chili seed with Bacillus polymixa BG25 or Pseudomonas fluorescence PG01 effectively decreased the incidence of anthracnose disease from 81% in infected seed to 9%. Treatment of the Bacillus subtilis AH18 and Bacillus licheniformis K11 formulas is also known to decrease the infected Phytophthora infestation in the field. Seed treatment with botanical pesticides or biological agents as bioprotectants has been shown to control the pathogen carrying the seeds, so that healthy seeds can be obtained to increase seed vigor and the production
