Abstract:Background: Seeds are characterized by rapid deterioration during storage under hot and humid coastal conditions. Physiological changes that occur in seeds during storage are manifested as reduction in seedling vigour indices and percentage germination. This study aimed in prolonging the longevity of soybean seed through packaging materials with or without desiccants. Methods: Each 10 kilograms of soybean seeds treated with Vitavax 200 (2 g/kg of seed) were stored with or without desiccants viz., Calcium Chlor… Show more
