Abstract

The storage potential and quality of bhendi seeds obtained from the seed production fields applied with herbicides at different dosage were assessed through accelerated ageing test. Seeds obtained from herbicide trial carried out in bhendi (cv. Parbhani kranti) seed crop with Fluchloralin and Pendimethalin at different dosage were utilized. The findings revealed that the seeds obtained from the plots applied with fluchloralin (@ 1.5 l ha-1) maintained higher seed quality attributes after the accelerated ageing test followed by the seeds obtained from the plots applied with pendimethalin (@1.5 l ha-1)
