Abstract: Physiological performances and bio-molecular activity at germination initiation stage may be considered for assessing the quality seed. The study was not only to identify the resourceful strains, the deterioration pattern with container effect at storage were also documented for achieving the successful seed production. In assessment, the factorial CRD was allowed considering the genotypic influence, storage durations and storage containers. High significant variability was noticed for characters utilising those factors. Considering the genotypes, WBL77 and PRECOZ exposed prominence though a contradiction was perceived for some characters. In storage, the Plastic container specified significant storing ability by reducing deterioration rate and the stage M1 (0 months) was noticeably superior in advancement of storage. The least deviation in GCV and PCV recognized genetic influence in seed traits that was reinforced by upper value of heritability (H²%) excluding EC. High genetic advance (GA%) apart from germination percentage specified the influence of additive gene. In correlation matrix, the positive significant effect among parameters along with negative relationship only to EC was indicating the usefulness of these characters for seed quality maintenance. Hence, the considerable parameters can be included in strain selection for successful quality seed production of Lentil.
