Abstract


Seeds dried to a moisture content of 8 per cent and with an initial germination of 85 per cent recorded 73 per cent germination after 30 months of storage under ambient conditions. Slurry treatment with captan 75% WP at 2 g + DDT 50% WP at 200 mg/kg of seed was found better than untreated seeds. Seeds obtained from various pickings exhibited differences in their storability. Seed germination decreased with increase in storage; whereas E.C. increased with the increase in storage period
