Study also aimed to Find out the probable causes of seed deterioration. The experiments were conducted from December 2004 to June 2005. Results revealed that tin container was found less permeable to moisture transmission compared with jute sack and tin container also retained higher seed quality attributes throughout the storage period. Results from the experiments on biochemical basis of seed deterioration showed that no appreciable difference of sugar content was detected in fresh seeds and seeds those were stored in airtight tin container. But significant increase of sugar content in all genotype was recorded when seeds were stored in jute sack. Again after storage in jute sack, signiFicant decrease of protein content was observed in all genotype but no appreciable change was recorded in seeds stored in tin container
