Abstract


Large and small seeds of 2. 9 and 12 month old seeds of Chilli Co. 1 were soaked in Sodium phosphate (di-basic) solution at 10-4M for three hours and dried back to their original weight and stored for one year with and without artifical ageing. Hy- dration and dehydration with phosphate solution significantly sowed down the rate of deterioration of both largo and small seeds of 9 and 12 month old seed stored without accelerated ageing: this treatment proved beneficial for both large and small sized seeds of 2, 9 and 15 month old seeds acceleratedly aged and stored.
