Impact of Storage Conditions on Seed-borne Mycoflora and Seed Health Parameters of Soybean [Glycine Max /i>(L.) Merrill]
Keywords:
Soybean, seedling vigour index, storage, storage period, storage container.Abstract
The study was conducted to investigate the changes in soybean seed health parameters that may occur during storage in different types of commonly used containers i.e., polythene bag, cloth bag and metallic bin. Seeds of two soybean varieties viz., Shivalik and Hara Soya were stored in these containers during December, 2022 to June, 2023, in the Department of Plant Pathology, CSKHPKV, Palampur. Lowest incidence of mycoflora as well as highest germination percentage, seedling shoot length, root length and seedling vigour index were obtained from sterilized seeds of Hara Soya stored in polythene bags for two months from fungicide Tebuconazole 1ml/L sprayed plots while highest mycoflora along with lowest germination percentage, seedling shoot length, root length and seedling vigour index were recorded in seeds of variety Shivalik stored in cloth bags for 6 months from unsprayed plots.Downloads
