Mid-storage treatment can be successfully employed to prolong the shelf-life of unsold stock of hybrid cotton seeds. Ten month stored DCH.32 hybrid cotton seeds were given different mid-storage treatments and stored again for another eight months, Mid-storage treatments by soaking 2 h in disodium phosphate (10-m) maintained higher germination during subsequent storage. The result of the field trial did not reveal significant differences in growth parameters and kapas yield between the fresh (2 month old) and mid- storage treated seeds when equal population was maintained in the field.
