Abstract

Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of storage containers (aluminum foil bag, polythene bag, plastic container, metal container and earthen pot), seed moisture level (5, 7, and 9%) and storage conditions (ambient temperature 30 ± 2o C, refrigerator 8 ± 1o C and dehumidified condition 20o C and RH at 40%) on germination and prevalence of seed-borne fungi of onion seed over a period of 170 days. Among the storage containers aluminum foil bag, polythene bag and plastic container performed better on germination and prevalence of seed-borne fungi of seeds. Seeds maintained high germination and lower seed-borne fungi when stored with 5 and 7% initial moisture. Considering storage conditions, refrigerator and dehumidified storage performed better. In two way interaction of container and seed moisture level, the highest germination and lowest seed-borne fungal infection was recorded in seeds stored in aluminum foil bag with 7% moisture content.
