Abstract

Studies were made to evaluate the storage potentiality of acid scarified and non-scarified seeds of tamarind in different packaging materials viz. cloth and 700 gauge polyethylene bags for a period of 12 months under ambient condition. The results revealed that scarified seeds could be stored upto 9 months (31 % germination) in cloth bag and 12 months in 700 gauge polyethylene bag (21% germination). But non-scarified seeds maintained 64 per cent and 49 per cent germination respectively in 700 gauge polyethylene bag and cloth bag after the storage period of 12 months.
