An experiment was conducted to know the effect of commercial storage conditions and packaging material on seed quality of chickpea Cv.JG11. The graded seeds were packed in three containers viz. gunny bag, polylined gunny bag (PLGB) and high density polythene bag (HDPE) and stored under two different storage conditions viz., ambient and commercial cold storage condition(temperature of 5-7 0C and 65-70 % RH) with initial seed moisture content less than eight percent and seeds were treated with thiram@ 2g/kg seed before storage. The different observations viz seed moisture content, germination (%), vigour index, electrical conductivity of the seed leachets, insect damage (%), incidence of seed borne diseases were recorded by following procedures prescribed by ISTA. The results revealed that the seeds stored in commercial cold storage (5-7 0 c + 65-70% RH) and packed in polylined gunny bag recorded higher seed germination (88.7%), vigour index (2799), seedling dry weight (430 mg), lower insect damage (1.7%), seed infection (4.5%), Electrical conductivity (0.25micromohs/ cm) after 22 months of storage. Hence commercial cold storage structures can be effectively used for maintaining seed quality of chickpea during storage.
