Studies were conducted with freshly harvested Gymnema seeds to assess the influence of seed treatment and containers on storability of seeds. The seeds treated with thiram at 2 g kg, stored both in cloth bag and 700 gauge polythene lined cloth bag at 8 per cent moisture content recorded 48 per cent germimation after 6 months of storage. The untreated seeds recorded lower germination and vigour than the treated seeds. But vigour index values were significantly higher in 700 gauge polythene bag than in cloth bag stored seeds. The electrical conductivity of seed leachate was also lower order in treated seeds stored in moisture vapour proof containers. The protein and oil content of stored seeds showed significant differences.
