Physiological potential of onion seeds stored in different packings and environments

Abstract: Storage is a fundamental step for maintaining seed quality after processing. Thus, in this study, we evaluated the physiological potential of onion seeds stored in different packings and environments. Impermeable, semi-permeable and permeable packings were tested under natural environment conditions (+19ºC), cold and dry chamber (10±2ºC and 33% RH) and cold chamber (16±2ºC and 60% RH), at 0, 90, 180, 270 and 360 days. The design was completely randomized in a 3x3x5 factorial scheme, with three replicates. In o… Show more

“…According to Table 2, for the cold chamber environment at 45 days of storage, there was no difference between the packagings; on the other hand, at 90 and 135 days, seeds Changes in the water content of seeds in the present study can be explained by the fact that the cold chamber was frequently opened during some periods, causing fluctuations in temperature and humidity. And the permeable packagings do not offer any resistance to the exchange of water vapor between seeds and the environment in which they are stored; thus, the water content of seeds stored in permeable packagings varies according to variations in relative air humidity, because they are hygroscopic (Hornke et al, 2020). In the conventional environment, at 45 and 90 days of storage, the lowest percentage of the water content of seeds was found for the hermetic packaging (Table 2).…”
