Cabai (capsicum annuum l.) merupakan spesies yang paling umum dibudidayakan dan memiliki nilai ekonomi yang tinggi. sebagai tanaman hias, cabai biasanya dikembangkan melalui proses seleksi dan persilangan untuk memperoleh karakteristik tertentu. kualitas tanaman cabai yang optimal sangat bergantung pada kualitas benih yang digunakan, yang dapat dinilai berdasarkan viabilitas dan vigor benih. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai viabilitas dan vigor dari beberapa varietas cabai hias. penelitian ini dilakukan di laboratorium ilmu dan teknologi benih, fakultas pertanian, universitas syiah kuala, darussalam, banda aceh, dari bulan maret-april 2024, dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap pola non-faktorial yang melibatkan 5 varietas cabai hias dan 4 ulangan. varietas yang diuji adalah ayesha, violeta, nazla, syakira, dan viola. hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa varietas cabai hias memiliki pengaruh sangat nyata terhadap viabilitas dan vigor benih, yang mencakup potensi tumbuh maksimum, daya berkecambah, keserempakan tumbuh, indeks vigor, kecepatan tumbuh relatif, dan spontanitas tumbuh. varietas nazla dan violeta menunjukkan viabilitas dan vigor yang tertinggi, dengan nilai daya berkecambah 83% dan 88%, keserempakan tumbuh 77% dan 79%, indeks vigor 71% dan 69%, kecepatan tumbuh relatif 48,55% dan 50,26%, serta spontanitas tumbuh 83% dan 84%. sebaliknya, varietas viola menunjukkan nilai terendah dalam parameter-parameter tersebut.

Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is the most widely cultivated and economically important species. Chili as an ornamental plant is generally developed based on a selection and crossing process for a number of certain characters. The quality of good chili plants is influenced by the quality of the seeds used. The quality of these seeds can be measured and observe the viability and vigor of the seeds. This research aims to test the viability and vigor of several ornamental chili varieties. This research was carried out at the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, Darussalam, Banda Aceh from March-April 2024. This research used a completely randomized design with a non-factorial pattern using 5 ornamental chili varieties with 4 repetitions. In this research, the treatment of ornamental chili varieties (V) consisted of 5 levels, namely Ayesha, Violeta, Nazla, Syakira and Viola. The results of this research show that ornamental chili varieties have a very significant effect on seed viability and vigor on the parameters of maximum growth potential, germination capacity, growth simultaneity, vigor index, relative growth speed and growth spontaneity. Varieties that have high viability and vigor were obtained in the Violeta variety with germination values of 76.5% and 77%, growth simultaneity of 77% and 79%, vigor index of 69% and 71%, relative growth speed of 48.55% and 50%. .26% and spontaneity grew 83% and 84%. Meanwhile, the lowest was obtained in the Syakira and Viola varieties.
