The study was conducted to find out the influence of packaging and storage conditions on seed quality of paddy. Paddy seeds were stored in different packaging materials viz., vacuum packed bags (C1), polythene bags (C2) ,cloth bags (C3) and gunny bags (C4) stored at room temperature (25 ± 2º C) and cold storage (4 ± 1º C) for a period of 18 months. The seed quality parameters on germination per cent, seedling vigour decreased with an advancement of storage period, but electrical conductivity increased with an increase in storage period. Among the containers, the seeds stored in vacuum packed bags maintained the quality with least deterioration compared to seeds stored in gunny and cloth bags. The rate of absorbance of moisture content is more in gunny bags and cloth bags because these are not air tight container while vacuum packed bags maintained constant moisture content.
