Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at Seed Quality Testing Laboratory, Seed Unit, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, to study the influence of fungicides and bio agents on storability of soybean var. DSb 21. The seed treatment of Carboxin + Thiram @ 3g/kg of seed recorded significantly higher seed germination (88.33%), seedling dry weight (95.82 mg), seedling vigour (2138) and lower electrical conductivity (0.592 dS m
-1), seed infection (11.00%) at the end of storage period which is on par with seed treatment with Penflufen @ 1g/kg of seed (86.00%, 92.05 mg, 0.605 dS m
-1, 2027 and 13.33%) respectively, compared to control. Therefore the present investigation was carried out to know the effect of seed treatment with bioagents and fungicides on seed quality during storage.
