Abstract

A laboratory experiment was conducted to know the effect of improved packaging materials on soybean seedquality during storage under ambient conditions at Seed Research and Quality Assurance Laboratory of Seed Unit, Universityof Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, during 2018-19. The soybean seeds were treated with sprint fungicide @ 3g/kg to controlseed deterioration and packed in different packaging materials (gunny bag, polylined gunny bag of 700 gauge,grain pro bag,High-density polyethylene bag,Purdue Improved Crop Storage bag, Zero fly bag and Trial bag and stored under ambientconditions. The results revealed that PICS bag, Grain pro bag, Zero fly bag and Trial bag recorded higher seed qualityparameters like seed germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index and the lowest seed moisturecontent, seed infection percentage and electrical conductivity after nine months of storage.
