Effect of Storage Conditions on the Seed Quality of Freshly Harvested High Moisture Undried rice Seeds Cv. Co 51
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Storing the freshly harvested high moisture seeds will induce the deterioration faster; it affects the storability of the seed material. The present study was carried out to access the appropriate storage condition to mitigate the seed quality loss of the freshly harvested un-dried seeds. The freshly harvested high moisture rice seeds were was transported from Cauveri delta basin and stored under cold and ambient storage condition for 15 days in Department of Seed Science and Technology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. In order to know the effectiveness of the storage condition, the seeds are drawn at alternative days and the seed quality were studied. The seeds under cold storage performed better than ambient storage condition, in the speed of germination, germination (%), seedling length, dry matter production and vigour index. The seeds stored under cold storage condition recorded higher germination (45) which was 12% higher than seeds stored under ambient storage and it was only (33). Seeds stored under cold storage condition recorded higher vigour index (968) on 15 days after storage and the ambient storage recorded minimum vigour index (670). The moisture content was under decreasing pattern, in cold and ambient storage, the moisture content was (23.8%) to (21%) and (23.0%) and (15.8 %) after 15 days of storage
