| dc.description.abstract | An investigation was carried out to know the influence of packing materials and seed treatments on storability of vegetable soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill.]. Seed quality aspects and storage potential of cv. GC-00209-4-1- 1(KARUNE) were studied in comparison with grain type soybean cv. RKS-18. The seeds of both cultivars having moisture content of around nine per cent were treated with Thiram (3 g/kg), Trichoderma viridae (7.5 g/kg) and untreated seeds were served as control. Then the treated seeds were packed in cloth bag, polypouches and super grain bag and stored for a period of nine months under ambient conditions. The seed samples were drawn at intervals and evaluated for various seed quality attributes. The results of the study revealed that at the end of storage period, higher seed quality parameters viz., germination (86%), field emergence (78.67%), mean seedling length (28.72cm), seedling vigour index-I (2470), total dehydrogenase activity (2.695), lower electrical conductivity (0.6972mS/ppt) and seed infection (<4%) were noticed in grain type soybean (cv. RKS-18) treated with Thiram (3g/kg) and stored in polypouches compared to cloth bag with untreated control. However, seeds of vegetable type soybean (cv.GC-00209-4-1-1) which were treated with Thiram @ 3g/kg and stored in poly pouches showed comparatively lower seed quality parameters like germination (81.33%), field emergence (74.00%), mean seedling length (22.36cm), seedling vigour index-I (1819), total dehydrogenase activity (2.312), but higher seedling vigour index-II (5645), electrical conductivity (0.599 mS/ppt) and seed infection (10%) compared to grain type (cv. RKS-18) at the end of nine months of storage. However, seeds of vegetable type packed in cloth bag were badly damaged by bruchids, within two to three months, irrespective of treatments. Thus the study suggested that both cultivars packed in polypouches treated with Thiram treatment @ 3g/kg could be stored up to nine months without any drastic reduction in quality. | en_US |
