Studies on Effect of Different Storage Conditions on Viability of Karonda Seeds

INFLUENCE OF SEED STORAGE PERIOD AND PRE-GERMINATION TREATMENTS ON VIABILITY AND VIGOUR OF PASSION FRUIT (Passiflora edulis var flavicarpa) SEEDS

“…Similarly the per cent disease index recorded in other crops on die back of chilli revealed that significantly least per cent disease index ( Kareem et al,2016 a) for die back and chlorothalonil spray for fruit rot (Kareem et al, 2016 b). Since the crop is a traditional one, many possibilities of exploring this like the characterization of the plants at different geographical location by chemical markers can be a tool (Masuthi et al, 2015a),physical characterization (Shridhar et al, 2019), genetic diversity (Sulochana et al, 2018), different priming treatments for better germination ( (Masuthi et al, 2015b), storage studies to retain and make available the viable seed (Bhavya et al, 2017), Influence of pre-germination treatments on germination, growth and vigour (Pallavi et al, 2022) , and Influence of pelleting with micronutrients and botanical on growth, seed yield and quality of vegetable cowpea (Masuthi et al, 2009), can be the other potential works on this crop that can be explored.…”
