Influence of Seed Treatment on Biochemical Changes during iStorability of Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Milisp.)

摘要

The storage experiment was conducted in the laboratory to find out the effect of seed treatment chemicals on seed quality in pigeonpea cv, BRG-1. Seed treatment with chemicals differed significantly on seed quality parameters during storage. Among theseed treatments, combination of Thiram @ 3 g/kg of seed + Spinosad @ 0.04 ml/kg of seed which were stored in superbag recorded significantly higher pH of seed leachate (6,12), TDH (2.49), total soluble seed fffotein content (19.98%) and lowest (1.57 mS/ppt) EC of seed leachate recorded at the end of sixth months of storage period compared to control. Hence, pigeonpea seed treated with Tliiram @ 3 g/kg of seed+ Spinosad @ 0.04 ml/kg of seed and stored in supCT bag maintained biochemical seed quality parameters during storage period.
