Abstract

Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuill. is an entomopathogenic fungi can live  endophytic on different kinds  of plants. B. bassiana also play a role as growth promoters that  improves seed germination and growth of plant.  The effect of increased duration of seed treatment with Beauveria bassiana on seed germination and seedling parameters in chili were assessed in laboratory and field conditions. Chili seeds were soaked in the conidial suspension of B. bassiana in a concentration of 1 x 108 conidial / ml or in sterile distilled water for 3, 6, 9, and 12 h. Seed germination percentages and the vigor index were significantly affected by the application of B. bassiana. Overall, seed germination, the vigor index and plant growth of chili were significantly enhanced as seed treatment duration increased.  B. bassiana can also accelerate seed germination of chili and increase of seedling growth. Soaking the seeds with a B. bassiana suspension for 9 hours is the best time to increase of seed germination and seedling growth of chili
