Abstract

The storage temperature of 10°C was found most suitable as it registered maximum values for all the germination parameters viz. germination per cent, germination speed and germination energy. On the other hand the minimum values were exhibited by seeds stored at room temperature. Reduction in moisture percentage was evidenced which was reflected by reduced germination per cent. Relatively high moisture content was found in the seeds stored at 10°C followed by 20°C and room temperature.
