Description A study on the influence of seed treatments and containers on the storability of
drumstick was conducted in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of
Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during June 2006 to June 2007. Freshly harvested drumstick
seeds were treated with chemical, halogen and botanicals and stored in cloth bag and
polythene bag under ambient condition. Among seed treatments, the seeds treated with
calcium oxy chloride @ 6 g per kg and garlic clove paste @ 20 g per kg seeds recorded more
than 70 per cent germination upto 12 months of storage with higher seedling length and
vigour index and with lower electrical conductivity. The seeds treated with captan @ 12 g per
kg and sweet flag rhizome powder @ 12 g per kg seeds recorded lower seed infection and
seed infestation respectively at the end of 12 months of storage. The seeds stored in polythene
bag recorded higher seed quality parameters than those stored in cloth bag. The seeds stored
in polythene bag recorded more than 70 per cent germination upto 11 months while in cloth
bag only upto 9 months. Among interaction effects of seed treatments and containers seed
treated with calcium oxy chloride and garlic clove paste maintained 70 per cent germination
upto 12 months when stored in polythene bag and upto 10 months when stored in cloth bag.
The seeds treated with captan and sweetflag rhizome powder and stored in polythene bag
recorded lower seed infection and seed infestation respectively at the end of 12 months of
storage.
