Effect of storage on quality of soybean [(Glycine max) merrill] seeds

The seeds of ‘JS 335′ variety of soybean were stored and evaluated for germination, root shoot length, dry matter content, moisture content, electrical conductivity, seed mycoflora and vigour index. The stored seeds with 10% moisture content showed significantly higher germination percentage and other seed quality parameters. The seed stored in polythene bag showed minimum loss of seed quality, as compared to the seeds stored in cloth and HDPE bags.
