Seed Production of O.P. Pepper Lines

seed storage room Pepper seeds can be safely stored for at least 3-5 years. Place seeds in manila envelopes, cloth or mesh bags, plastic containers, or foil envelopes. The best containers are airtight, such as a sealed glass jar, metal can or foil envelope.

Label each container carefully. Note the names of the hybrid and parents, the year, and any other information you feel is valuable.


Store seeds in a cool, dry place. Small quantities can be kept in an air-tight container inside a refrigerator. For larger quantities, a special room with controlled humidity and temperature should be used. The temperatures should not exceed 20°C and relative humidity (RH) in the storage area should not exceed 30%.
