Physiological and Biochemical Changes In Mustard Seeds during Storage
Journal Title: International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Computational and Applied Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Mustard is a recent introduction to Tamil Nadu and the thermo sensitivity of the crop is the major limitation for its spread unlike other oilseeds crop. The present investigation is an attempt to study the effect of different storage treatment and containers in mustard cv. GM2. The experiment has been conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University during 2007. The Seeds were treated with Halogen m0ixture @ 4 g kg-1, Bavistin @ 2 g kg-1, Halogen mixture @ 4 g kg-1 and Bavistin @ 2 g kg-1 along with untreated seeds were stored in cloth bag and 700 gauge polythene bag for 10 months under ambient storage conditions. Seeds treated with Halogen mixture @ 4g kg-1 + Bavistin @ 2g kg-1 of seed and stored in 700 gauge polythene bag maintained higher germination (88.7 per cent) and vigour index of 2463.The biochemical parameters like -amylase activity, electrical conductivity, oil content and free fatty acid varied due to period of storage, treatments and containers. The study thus concluded that seed treated with Halogen mixture @ 4g kg-1 + Bavistin @ 2g kg-1 stored in polythene bag maintained better vigour and viability up to 10 months compared to other treatments under ambient condition.
