Quality attributes of seeds may decline during storage. Quantifying loss of seed germination
during storage has given rise to an equation proposed by Ellis and Roberts that,“same rate …

This study was undertaken to calibrate open seed warehouse storage environments in the
humid tropics and model maize seed deterioration under them. Five maize varieties …

In order to analyze the treatment of seeds with homogeneous static magnetic field on the
water adsorption process, an experimental‐theoretical study of hygroscopic equilibrium in …

The longevity of seeds of ten varieties of sesame (Sesamum indium L.) was estimated using
probit modeling to evaluate storage potential of these seed lots under humid tropical …

Successful crop production depends initially on the availability of high-quality seed. Seed
viability and vigour of four kenaf varieties during storage were investigated. Seeds of each …

This study was carried out to determine the effects of packaging materials and storage
periods on seed quality and longevity dynamics of an endangered tropical tree species …

Soybean (Glycine max) is a multipurpose crop which is utilized for food, livestock feed,
industrial raw material and a source of bio-energy. However, its production is constrained by …

Seed longevity of two commercial hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) varieties ('Oba-Super'and
'Suwan-1') were evaluated under simulated low-input seed storage systems typical of the …

Seeds are affected by majority of insects throughout the crop age. The majority of insect
pests causing losses to seeds belong to order Coleoptera along with some species of …

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate ageing-induced genetic changes and to
establish physiological thresholds for loss of genetic integrity during ageing or storage of …
