The field experiment consisted of nine treatments with different organic and inorganic manures and laid out in randomized block design with three replications. results indicated that the application of 100% RDF + vermicompost @ 1.25 t/ha + Rhizobium @ 375 g/ha recorded significantly higher number of pods per plant (24.20), number of seeds per pod (14.20), seed yield per plant (14.23 g), seed yield per ha (1138.89 kg), thousand seed weight (41.95 g), germination (98.33%), seedling length (32.87 cm), seedling vigour index (3233), seedling dry weight (61.06 mg), seed protein content (23.55%) and lower electrical conductivity of seed leachate (0.737 dS/m) compared to others treatments. Laboratory experiment was conducted to know the effect of seed treatment with insecticide and fungicide on storability of three varieties viz., Chinamung, Pusa Baisaki and Selection-4 of greengram. Studies indicated that the seed treated with malathion @ 3 g per kg of seed + bavistin @ 2 g per kg of seed recorded higher germination (81.92%), seedling length (22.60 cm), seedling vigour index (1853) and seedling dry weight (47.19 mg) and lower electrical conductivity of seed leachate (1.452 dS/m) at the end of eight months of storage period. Among three varieties, Pusa Baisaki recorded higher germination (80.00%), seedling length (21.11 cm), seedling vigour index (1693), seedling dry weight (45.44 mg) and lower electrical conductivity of seed leachate (1.528 dS/m) at the end of eight months of storage period.Seed Science and TechnologyThesis
