Results of an experiment conducted at the Division of Seed Science and Technology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 1998 - 1999 season indicated that the fermination and vigour of seeds increased by seed processing in marigold (Tagets ssp). Germination was improved to a significant extent after seed cleaning with air velocity at 10 ms-1 and drying seeds to -8% moisture content. In African marigold, seed cleaning and up-gradation had pronounced effect on germination where as French marigold had greater influence through mechanical drying.
