“…This entails creating environmentally friendly seed packing materials, building energyefficient storage facilities, and building the infrastructure for seed storage using renewable energy sources (Cheng et al, 2014). In addition, the use of naturally occurring substances possessing antimicrobial qualities as seed treatments promotes insect resistance without depending on artificial pesticides (Bonome et al, 2020). International cooperation in seed banking has become essential for improving food security in a time of linked economies and common environmental issues (Grote, 2014).…”

Seed storage innovation assumes an essential part in guaranteeing worldwide food security by safeguarding genetic variety and preserving seed feasibility over time. This review article gives a complete outline of ongoing patterns and advances in supportable seed stockpiling strategies. Starting with an investigation of the significance of seed storage about food security challenges, the audit digs into conventional seed storing strategies and their obstacles. Additionally review also provides a comprehensive analysis of maintainable methodologies like controlled air capacity, cryopreservation, and seed preparing, featuring their adequacy in dragging out seed suitability while diminishing energy utilization and natural effect. Moreover, the review discusses the incorporation of digital technologies, for example, artificial intelligence and blockchain, in seed storage management to enhance the traceability and convenience of seed collections. Additionally, the role of community-based seed banks and participatory plant breeding in promoting seed resilience against climate change is explored. By discussing current research findings and practical applications, this review aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about the diverse range of sustainable seed storage solutions available to safeguard global agricultural biodiversity and ensure food security in the face of evolving ecological challenges.

“…Fungicides are commonly used in seed treatment to ensure the seeds are fungal free (Munkvold, 2009). However, in recent years, the environmental effects of chemicals used in agriculture have been of concern, with the utilization of natural products proposed as a simple alternative toward productive farming and a healthier environment (Bonome et al, 2020). Epigeic earthworms (living at the soil surface) have been recognized for their excellent contribution to increasing soil fertility by decomposing matter using their body secretion and castings into vermicomposts (Sharma et al, 2005;Hatti et al, 2010;Domínguez, 2018;Singh, 2018).…”

Importance of the work: Aspergillus flavus contamination could lower corn seed quality and aflatoxin production. Depending on the concentration, certain chemicals used for fungal control are harmful to the environment; consequently, natural products are increasingly used as alternatives. Coelomic fluid secreted by the blue worm, Perionyx excavatus, has been found to affect plant growth and to inhibit growth of Aspergillus species. Objectives: This work investigated the appropriate coelomic fluid concentration to promote corn seedling and inhibit the growth of A. flavus. Materials & Methods: Corn seeds were treated with 0%, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or 30% coelomic fluid solution. Results: The seeds treated with coelomic fluid solutions had higher shoot lengths (p < 0.01) than the control but there were no significant differences between the concentrations. Mean (± SD) shoot lengths of seeds treated with 0% and 1% coelomic fluid solution were 19.07 ± 0.89 cm and 23.14 ± 1.32 cm, respectively. In the second experiment, corn seeds were contaminated with A. flavus and subsequently soaked in 100% coelomic fluid or fungicide solution and compared with non-contaminated seeds and non-treated seeds. The results indicated that the coelomic fluid had the greatest inhibition on the growth of A. flavus. The level of fungal infection of coelomic fluid solution treatment was 0%, while the mean (± SD) infection levels for the fungicide treatment and non-treated seed were 1.67 ± 1.92% and 27.5 ± 11.34%, respectively. Main finding: This study revealed that coelomic fluid secreted by P. excavatus significantly enhanced seedling growth and inhibited the growth of A. flavus.
