Abstract

The storability of sunflower (RSFH-130) was improved due to the treatment with Polymer seed coating @ 5 g/kg of seeds + Vitavax (Carboxin 37.5%+ thiram 37.5%) @ 2 g/kg of seeds + Imidachloprid @ 5 g/kg of seeds, and stored in polythene bag for 14th months. The seed quality was reduced due to storing of the seeds in cloth bag.
