Abstract:
A lab experiment was conducted during April 2021-Sep 2022 at NSP, Seed unit, UAS, Dharwad. The experimental design was Factorial completely randomised design having 3 replications and 2 factors i.e. storage conditions like ambient and cold storage and storage containers (cloth bag, high density polythene bag (HDPE), polythene bag, aluminum laminated bag, vacuum packed bag) and stored for 18 months of period and seed quality parameters like Speed of germination, Mean seedling length and mean germination time were evaluated at bimonthly intervals, the results revealed that, the treatment with vacuum packed bags and stored in cold storage gave good results at the end of 18 months of storage period. Speed of germination (43.12), mean seedling length (16.58) and mean germination time (1.40 days) respectively compared to other seed stored in different packaging materials that is stored in ambient and cold storage conditions.
