Yadav, V.B. | Bharud, R.W. | Nagawade, Deepak R.
The seeds of RHRG-6021, RHRG-6083, TAG-24 and JL-501 varieties of groundnut were stored and evaluated for germination percentage, 100 seed weight (g), root -shoot length, dry matter content (g), seed moisture content, electrical conductivity, seed mycoflora and seedling vigour index I and II. The seed stored in Polylined HDPE storage container was found suitable for maintenance of seed viability, which showed significantly higher germination percentage and other seed quality parameters. Among the four genotypes studied, the genotype RHRG-6021 was superior in respect of seed vigour and viability.
