Abstract
The experiments were conducted separately for green gram and chickpea at laboratory of the De-partment of Agronomy, Yezin Agricultural University, from March to December 2016. The objectives were (1) to study the effect of seed moisture content and storage container on seed quality, (2) to investi-gate the interaction effect of seed moisture content and storage container on seed quality, and (3) to find out the optimum seed moisture content and proper storage container to preserve seed quality of green gram and chickpea. For each crop, the factorial experiment (6 x 3) was laid out in randomized complete block (RCB) design comprising of six levels of seed moisture contents (7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%) as factor A and three types of storage container (air tight tin bin, bamboo basket, woven plastic bag) as factor B with three replications. Green gram was stored for six months and chickpea for nine months at ambient condition. Evaluation of seed quality parameters was done before and after storage for compari-son. After storage, significant variations were observed in seed quality parameters in both crops, but no interaction effect between seed moisture content and storage container in all observations except in seed moisture of stored seeds. In green gram, germination percentage, germination index, seed vigour index I and II were relatively higher in air tight tin bin than other containers at all seed moisture levels tested. In case of chickpea, maximum values were recorded in germination percentage, germination index, seed vigour index I and seed vigour index II at seed moisture content of 7 % and 8 % in the storage with air tight container. Seed quality decreased with increase in moistue of seeds to be stored. Based on the find-ing of this research, it can be recommended that the range of seed moisture contents from 7 % to 12 % was the optimal during six months of air tight storage for seed quality of green gram. For chickpea seed quality, storage in air tight tin bin at 7 % seed moisture content was appropriate for nine months.
