ABSTRACT
Ten genotypes of fenugreek with four seed lots having the corresponding age of fresh, one year, two year, and third year were subjected to assess the effect of natural ageing on seed quality parameters. All seeds lots were analyzed in Completely randomized design (CRD) with three replication for test weight, standard germination, seedling length, fresh weight, dry weight per seedling, vigour index I and II, seed density, electrical conductivity, accelerated ageing and field emergence index. It was observed that, test weight, standard germination, seedling length, fresh weight, dry weight per seedling, vigour index I and II, seed density accelerated ageing, field emergence index decrease with ageing and electrical conductivity of seed leachates increased with ageing period. The germination percentage of all the ten genotypes remained above the Indian Minimum Seed Certification Standards (70%) in fresh year, one and two years old seeds. Among all the genotypes HM-348 and HM-291 were found most promising for various seed quality parameters and found suitable for carryover seed under ambient storage conditions up to three years.
