Abstract


In bhendi var. Parbhani kranti an experiment was carried out to study the influence of agro-ecological conditions, seed treatments and containers on storability of seeds. The results revealed that among the place of storage, seeds stored at Coimbatore, Yercaud, Kodaikanal and Paiyur maintained higher viability and vigour for 24 months. The seeds treated with thiram @2 g kg-1 of seed stored in polyethylene bag remained viable for longer period as compared to those seeds stored in cloth bag in all the places of storage. The seeds remain viable for 21 and 15 months when stored in polythene and cloth bags, respectively irrespective of treatments, locations and periods of storage
