A Study was carried out to find out the seed quality behavior of soybean (Glycine max) as influenced by different packaging materials and storage conditions. Soybean seeds were stored in different packaging materials viz., gunny bags, high density polythene bags and vacuum packed bags stored at room temperature (25 ± 2º C) and cold storage (4 ± 1º C) for a period of 18 months. The treatments having six combinations and consisting of different containers viz., gunny bags, high density polythene bags and vacuum packed bags were replicated four times in both cold and ambient storage conditions in completely randomized design. The results of the study revealed that the that the seeds stored in vacuum packed bags maintained the seed quality with least deterioration with respect to all the seed quality parameters compared to seeds stored in gunny bags and high density polythene bags.

The speed of the deterioration of oil-seeds depends on conditions of the storage environment and understanding dormancy release time is important to increase the amount and uniformity in germination. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different packaging materials and storage environments on viability and dormancy of sesame. The black sesame seed was stored in three packaging materials (woven polypropylene bag, IRRI super bag, metal bin) under two environment conditions (ambient and cold storage) for eight-month (initial storage, 2-month, 4-month, 6-month and 8-month). The effect of storage environments, packaging materials and storage durations on germination percentage, germination index, seedling vigor index I and II were significant. The moisture content decreased in the early parts of storage periods and then increased in later. The moisture content of seeds in the packaging materials increased in long storage due to the effect of seed respiration and heat accumulation in a package. Higher viability was observed in ambient storage, and in a woven polypropylene bag. Because the dormancy release was slow in low- temperature condition and the carbon dioxide concentration in the airtight package inhibited the dormancy break. It also increased during storage and the earliest fully dormancy break has occurred in six-month of woven polypropylene bag storage under ambient condition. Therefore, the germination and dormancy release of sesame were influenced by storage environments packaging materials and storage durations.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of fungicides and packaging materials on longevity of chilli (variety: RCH-1) and brinjal (variety: Hisar Shyamal) seeds. The seeds were treated with 15 fungicides and were kept in three containers viz. Metal box, Cloth bag and Plastic zipling bag up to 12 months under ambient conditions in seed pathology laboratory of Department of Seed Science & Technology, CCSHAU, Hisar, India. The samples were drawn at quarterly intervals for ascertaining the seed quality parameters. The seeds treated with flusilazole and carbendazim (2 g kg-1 seed) in case of chilli and brinjal and stored in metal-box were found better for maintenance of higher seed quality parameters [electrical conductivity and dehydrogenase activity] during the study period. The study suggested that use of appropriate packaging material and seed treatment could be useful to prolong the storage life of chilli and brinjal seeds.
