| Abstract | An experiment was conducted to assess the influence of storage containers on seed quality and seed health of field pea (Pisum sativum L.). The study comprised of three cultivars viz., BARI Motor-1, BARI Motor-3 and BADC Motor-1 and three containers viz., plastic container, polybag, earthen pot and two durations viz., before storage in container and after 90 days storage. The results revealed that among the three cultivars BARI Motor-1 seeds recorded lowest moisture content (10.97%), lowest electrical conductivity (164.1μS/cm/g), maximum germination (72.67%), vigor index (2926.81), shoot length (24.93 cm), root length (13.95 cm) and minimum incidence of seed borne fungi. Before storage, the seed showed lowest moisture content (9.29%), 1000-seed weight (79.53 g), electrical conductivity (100.9 μS/cm/g), highest germination percentage (91.67%), vigor index (4464.87), shoot length (26.79 cm), root length (21.85 cm) and minimum incidence of fungi Aspergillus flavus (1.81%), Fusarium oxysporum (5.76%), Rhizopus spp. (0.27%), Colletotrichum spp. (5.55%) and Aspergillus niger (0.11). Among the three containers, plastic container noticed lowest moisture content (10.06 %), electrical conductivity (174.5 μS/cm/g), maximum germination percentage (73.22%), vigor index (3086.32) and minimum incidence of fungi Aspergillus flavus (2.872%), Fusarium oxusporum (7.358%), Rhizopus spp. (1.278%), Colletotrichum spp. (6.228%) and Aspergillus niger (0.750%). Thus, it can be concluded that the quality and health of field pea seed decreased with increase in period and plastic container was suitable for field pea seed preservation. Stored seeds had low germination, high moisture content and incidence of seed borne pathogen than before storage. |
