Abstract


Studies were initiated to evaluate the storability of maize hybrid COH (M5) seeds primed with three different combinations of liquid biocontrol agents, biofertilizers and organic humic acid (20%) + P.fluorescens (10%), Azophos (15%) + P.fluorescens (10%), Azospirillum (15%) + Phosphobacteria (15%) in air tight containers for nine months along with hydro primed and control seeds. The results revealed that after nine months of storage, the seeds primed with 15% Azophos + 10% P.fluorescens maintained germination above seed certification standard with higher seedling quality characters and lesser biochemical deteriorative observations compared to unprimed seed.
