Storage Behaviour of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Seeds under Different Storage Condition

Background: Seed deterioration is an unavoidable process during seed storage resulting in declined germination and vigour of the seeds have different potential under condition. Maintenance requires new alternative method conditions viz., packaging material temperature conditions. Storage groundnut cv. VRI 8 changes associated with stored were investigated this study. Methods: The efficiency modified atmospheric combination CO2, N2 O2 vacuum (25°C, 5°C -5°C) for maintaining behaviour up to months evaluated gas mixture was checked analyzer at regular intervals. Result: (MAS) condition a 0% 100% -5°C condition, maintained above 70% minimum increase moisture content even after when these kept ambient also while registered less below by 6 itself. Down-regulation antioxidant defence system catalase peroxidase activity accumulation malondialdehyde H202 embryo indicated oxidative damage MAS compared Thus, study highlighted that better low through quality reducing their metabolic storing could be cost-effective method.
