Seed vigor is an important attribute of quality for successful food production ( Rajjou et al., 2012 ). Bell pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) multiplication is performed by seeds, which are characterized by slow germination and low uniformity of

the rate of germinated seeds on the 20th day. Germination index was GI = Σ(Gt/Tt), where Gt is the number of germinated seeds in Day t and Tt is the time corresponding to Gt in days. Vigor index was VI = GI × shoot height on the 25th day. MGT was

Sealer (Clamco Corp., Cleveland, OH). Nontreated and nonstored caryopses were used as controls. Slant tests were used to determine seed vigor ( Smith et al., 1973 ). One cut germination blotter No. 385 of 75 × 120-mm size was placed into each
