Abstract
ABSTRACT Germinated cucumber seed were placed in three different polyethylene film bags and stored in various environmental conditions. Performance of the stored seed was evaluated in the greenhouse and field over a storage period of 63 days. Seed stored at 7C for 63 days in Ziploc* bags and in 100 micron polyethylene film bags flushed with nitrogen produced an excellent plant stand. There was very little seed radicle elongation during storage in those treatments. Vacuum packaging in the 100 micron polyethylene film kept the seed in good physical condition but decreased its viability especially in the field. Vacuum packaging and nitrogen flushing in 15 micron polythylene film bags were difficult operations. In addition, there was a considerable loss of nitrogen and loss of some vacuum from these bags during storage. Storage of germinated cucumber seed at room temperature either in vacuum or nitrogen was not acceptable.
