This study was carried out to find a practical storage method for rice seeds coated with calcium peroxide on direct sowing cultures in paddy field. Three sets of 10 kg seeds, which is on a practical scale, coated with calcium peroxide were stored at 15, 10 degrees C, and room temperature to examine, the possible storage terms for each temperature. Judging from the growth of the plumules and radicles by respiratory metabolism, coated seeds could be stored for 7 days at 15 degrees C, for 28 days at 10 degrees C, and for one day at room temperature. These results indicate that coated seeds with calcium peroxide can be stored for 7 days at a low-temperature storehouse of an agricultural cooperative
