Abstract: The present investigation was carried out to study the resultant seeds storage potential of bhendi. The resultant seeds of bhendi were stored in cloth bag and aluminium foil pouches under ambient conditions. The bhendi seeds were treated with Bavistin and Imidachloprid along with control. Bhendi resultant seeds obtained from drip fertigation with 100% RDF treated with imidachloprid 1 ml/kg and stored in aluminium foil pouches maintained lower electrical conductivity, free sugars, free amino acids and maintained higher enzyme activities like dehydrogenase, α-amylase, protease and protein content throughout the period of storage.
