Abstract

Maize (Zea mays L.) seed production is directly related to the quality of seeds obtained from parental inbredlines. Storage duration is an important factor that can determine quality of any crop seed. This research was conducted with the objectives of to assess the effects of storage duration on seed germination, vigor and seedling emergence of different maize inbredlines stored for variant years. The experiment evaluated the effect of five (ML395, CML202, CML165, CML312 and A7033) inbred lines and three seed storage durations of uncontrolled environment (5, 17 and 29 months) infactorial combinations and arranged in laboratory and lath house using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications, conducted in 2017/18main cropping season. The result of analysis of variance was showed significant at (P < 0.005) seed physical quality viz seed moisture content and thousand kernel weight was significantly affected by the two main effect and seed physiological quality parameters like germination percentage, speed of germination, field emergence index, seedling vigorindex-I and II was significantly affected by two main factors and former combinations of the treatment at P < 0.005 respectively. The results of this finding showed that as seed storage duration increased beyond five months, physical and physiological quality parameters of seed become declined. Thus storing seed of maize inbredline for beyond five months are reduce the quality parameters. For that storing seed for short period of time to maintain its quality is preferred.
