Abstract

Eleven advanced hybrids alongwith three control varieties were evaluated for their storability at room temperature during March to July, 1999 and 2000. Minimum total weight loss at 90 and 120 days of storage was observed in hybrid JW 160 followed by JW 96, JX 216 and MS/89-60, respectively. These four hybrids had significantly lower total weight loss than the best control variety Kufri Badshah.
