Description The laboratory experiments to study the influence of mulching, storage conditions,
seed treatment with chemicals and plant products and methods of storage on storability of
rabi/summer groundnut were conducted in the Department of Seed Science and Technology,
University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during June 2005 to March 2006. TAG-24
pods produced under without polymulch condition retained satisfactory germination of 70 per
cent (MSCS) upto six months after storage and recorded better quality parameter throughout
the storage period while it was upto four months only in seed produced under poly mulch
conditions. Among the storage conditions seeds stored in PLGB with either of the desiccants
(silicagel or CaCl2 or CaCO3) maintained germination above MSCS upto eight months of
storage. Interaction of mulching and storage conditions, pod produced under mulching and
stored in PLGB with desiccants recorded higher values for all the quality parameters viz.,
speed of germination, germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight and seedling vigour
index.
In the second experiment, TMV-2 pods treated with chlorpyriphos and stored in
sprayed HDPE bag performed better throughout the storage period by recording better quality
parameters. The seeds treated with chlorpyriphos @ 2 ml per kg of pods maintained
germination above MSCS upto six months of storage. The pods stored in sprayed HDPE bag
with treatment retained satisfactory germination of 70 per cent upto eight months of storage
period with higher values for all the quality parameters.
