| Experiment Background | India is the second highest cotton producer after china in the world. Cotton has economic value as fiber and cotton seed oil. Cotton seed also contain 20-25% protein. Hence, cotton has become a fibre cum oil yielding crop. The growth performance and productivity of the crop is depends on the vigour of seed used for sowing and subsequently emerged seedling that could be only possible from healthy and viable seed (K. Rathinavel, 2014). During storage, it is known that reduction in physiological quality of seed is related to biochemical alterations of aged seed. (Likhatchev et al., 1984) found reduced concentrations of soluble sugars during ageing of seeds of some plant species. Cotton seeds have greater propensity to deterioration due to their high oil content and special care is needed to maintain their viability and vigour during storage (M Abdus Salam et al., 2018). The seed treated with fungicide and insecticide prevents seed decay during storage. The single most important factor affecting seed quality in storage of both seed cotton and bulk cotton seed is moisture. Other factors contribute to physiological quality and length of life in storage. Their effect, however, is superimposed on the effect of moisture. Cotton seed looses its viability and vigour rapidly in storage as being poor stored. The linted cotton seed hosts many pathogens and insect pests during storage and reduce the seed quality. To prevent the deterioration of seed quality and lengthen the viability of cotton seed for further grow the important material these experiment is formulated. | ||
