Treatment, container, storage period, deltamethrinAbstract
Highly significant effect and difference were observed for treatment; container and storage period for germination percentage, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index, electric conductivity and moisture content of stored seed. All the treatments were found significantly superior over control for germination percentage, seedling vigour index, electric conductivity and moisture content. Deltamethrin showed best performance among the treatments followed by Thiram for all the characters during entire ten months of storage. Sealed in container was found significantly better than jute bag for all the parameters due to its impervious nature.
